Round Corners
The skeletal remains of an infant are found in the walls of a stately home under renovation. The house, located in New Bedford, MA, had been built by the Whaling Captain Anthony Spooner in the mid 1800s. Daniel OMalley, Chief Homicide Inspector, and his newly appointed detective, William Normandin, unearth evidence as far away as upstate New York. The previous occupants of the house included the dowager Abigail Spooner. Inspector OMalley discovers that her son, Lieutenant Mortimer, presently serving on the USS Little in the South Pacific had exhibited strange and disturbing behaviors as a young man. During the time of the investigation members of the Lepage family volunteer to serve in the E...
Into the Dark
Two families are impacted when their paths cross. We are to discover that what seems to be evident is often misinterpreted and things are not what they seem. Young people are faced with great uncertainty and fear. Chief Inspector Daniel O'Malley is assisted by the young detective Paul Griffin. Resolving the case of a missing young boy calls for urgency. Time is of the essence. Research of police files lead them to a formerly stately home in the Acushnet Heights section of New Bedford. Dark secrets seem to envelope the residence. The information in the police file also directs them to a rooming house in the center of the city. Name confusion adds a degree of puzzlement that takes precious time to unravel. One family will find solace and relief. The other will succumb to a terrible tragedy. Unfounded suspicion by those protecting their loved ones will weaken the strength of the one who held the fragile young people together.
We are at Home
In this collection of more than 200 stunning and storied photographs, ranging from daguerreotypes to studio portraits to snapshots, historian Bruce White explores historical images taken of Ojibwe people through 1950 and considers the negotiation that went on between the photographers and the photographed-and what power the latter wielded. Ultimately, this book tells more about the people in the pictures-what they were doing on a particular day, how they came to be photographed, how they made use of costumes and props-than about the photographers who documented, and in some cases doctored, views of Ojibwe life.
Two by Each
An incident in the waterfront district of New Bedford presents two possible scenarios. Each one poses different dilemmas to the retiring detective, Joseph Barrett. He is challenged to solve this mystery before hanging up his shield. FBI Agent William Normandin, a prior member of the New Bedford Police Force, solicits the assistance of Chief Inspector Daniel O'Malley. Both have had past connections with the victim, Lieutenant Mortimer Weigand. Claude Lepage served as the trusted chauffeur of Mr. Weigand. As the investigation proceeds some of his personal habits begin to suggest that he may know more than he is revealing about the incident. In the final days prior to retirement, Detective Joseph Barrett starts putting together one of the scenarios that gives some credence to the mysterious incident.

Fish in the Lakes, Wild Rice, and Game in Abundance
On 13 August 1990 members of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe filed a lawsuit against the State of Minnesota for interfering with the hunting, fishing, and gathering rights that had been guaranteed to them in an 1837 treaty with the United States. In order to interpret the treaty the courts had to consider historical circumstances, the intentions of the parties, and the treaty's implementation. The Mille Lacs Band faced a mammoth challenge. How does one argue the Native side of the case when all historical documentation was written by non- Natives? The Mille Lacs selected six scholars to testify for them. Published here for the first time, Charles Cleland, James McClurken, Helen Tanner, John Nichols, Thomas Lund, and Bruce White discuss the circumstances under which the treaty was written, the personalities involved in the negotiations and the legal rhetoric of the times, as well as analyze related legal conflicts between Natives and non- Natives. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor delivered the 1999 Opinion of the [United States Supreme] Court.
