The Commander's Dilemma
No detailed description available for "The Commander's Dilemma".
Ameliaranne and the Green Umbrella
This is a heartwarming children's story of a selfless little girl and her younger siblings. Ameliranne was invited to the squire's tea party when her five siblings were struck with cold and lay in bed. She was reluctant to go and enjoy the delicious cakes and tea without her little brothers and sisters, but before she left, she had an idea. She grabbed the green umbrella although it didn't seem like raining, and went on to the squire's house to carry out her plan. The language is fit for young children, and the illustrations are pretty and on every page. Although the book was written in 1920, the morals of altruism and family love are still very much relevant today. The story was so popular and loved by children that it inspired a twenty-book series, following the adventures of the resourceful Ameliaranne, her mother, and her five younger siblings. "But Ameliaranne had hardly got out of the front door before she was back again. 'I want the umbrella, ' she said, and she took it from the corner in the parlour where it lived. It was large and green, with a goose's head for a handle."
The Dorsey Family
The work at hand is the only comprehensive history of Anson County, spanning over 225 years of the county's growth from a vast wilderness to a thriving industrial and agricultural community. The first third of the volume traces politics in the county. The middle portion covers Anson's social history, including education, religion, agriculture and industry, social and cultural life, etc. The final third of the book provides biographical sketches of scores of Anson "Men and Women of Note" and a number of source record collections of great import to genealogists.
Crafting Lives
From the colonial period onward, black artisans in southern cities--thousands of free and enslaved carpenters, coopers, dressmakers, blacksmiths, saddlers, shoemakers, bricklayers, shipwrights, cabinetmakers, tailors, and others--played vital roles in their communities. Yet only a very few black craftspeople have gained popular and scholarly attention. Catherine W. Bishir remedies this oversight by offering an in-depth portrayal of urban African American artisans in the small but important port city of New Bern. In so doing, she highlights the community's often unrecognized importance in the history of nineteenth-century black life. Drawing upon myriad sources, Bishir brings to life men and women who employed their trade skills, sense of purpose, and community relationships to work for liberty and self-sufficiency, to establish and protect their families, and to assume leadership in churches and associations and in New Bern's dynamic political life during and after the Civil War. Focusing on their words and actions, Crafting Lives provides a new understanding of urban southern black artisans' unique place in the larger picture of American artisan identity.
The Southern Debate over Slavery
An incomparably rich source of period information, the second volume of The Southern Debate over Slavery offers a representative and extraordinary sampling of the thousands of petitions about issues of race and slavery that southerners submitted to county courts between the American Revolution and Civil War. These petitions, filed by slaveholders and nonslaveholders, slaves and free blacks, women and men, abolitionists and staunch defenders of slavery, constitute a uniquely important primary source. The collection records with great immediacy and minute detail the dynamics and legal restrictions that shaped southern society.
The Grant Family
Matthew Grant (1601-1681) and his family emigrated from England to Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630, and in 1635 moved to Windsor, Connecticut. He married twice (once in England, once in Windsor). Descendants lived throughout the United States and elsewhere. Includes genealogy of President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885).
Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in Bolton
Thirty-two true crime stories from the history of the English town, from the sixteenth century to the early twentiethcentury. Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Bolton takes the reader on a sinister journey through centuries of local crime, meeting villains of all sorts along the way. There is no shortage of harrowing incidents of evil to recount from the town’s early industrial beginnings to its murderous heyday in the nineteenth century. Glynis Cooper’s fascinating research has uncovered grisly events and sad or unsavoury individuals whose conduct throws a harsh light on the history of a city that was once known as the Geneva of the North. These extraordinary stories, rediscovered in the Bolton Evening News, in council archives, and in police and court records, shed light on a bloody past that Bolton would prefer to forget.
