Our Allens from Maryland to Muscle Shoals Via the Mid-West
Robert Allin was born in Ireland in 1674. He immigrated to America in 1690 and settled at Port Tobacco, Maryland. His grandson, Rhody/ Rhoda [John Rhodam?] Allen was born ca. 1742, probably in Charles or Dorchester County, Maryland. He married at least twice and was the father of a large family. The family probably lived for awhile in Stafford County, Virginia, and migrated to Edgecomb County, North Carolina, ca. 1773. They migrated to Sumner County, Tennessee, ca. 1792; and to Jefferson County, Illinois, in 1820. Descendants listed lived in Illinois, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, and elsewhere.
The Case of the Horrified Heirs
"When the lives of two widows become entangled, the question is will their deaths be, also? Lauretta Trent was a wealthy, elderly, and ailing widow; Virginia Baxter a young, beautiful grass- and not-so-rich widow... Admittedly, the thread linking the two ladies was tenuous indeed, but its steel-like strength tripped Perry Mason and thrust him headlong into one of the most baffling cases of his career..." --
Preschool Favorites
Contains resources for creating thirty-five storytimes for preschoolers, each with book suggestions, fingerplays, poems, music ideas, and crafts.
Toddler Storytimes II
Research on early childhood brain development clearly shows the importance of storytime for toddlers. Toddler programs set the stage for the development of increased attention spans, superior language development, and a love of literature and libraries. The repetition of fingerplays, songs, and stories further enhance a child's cognitive development. Toddler Storytimes II is a source for books, games, fingerplays, puppet ideas, crafts, and other activities that make up a successful storytime. Each of the 25 themed programs presented contains approximately ten carefully chosen books, providing everything a librarian, teacher, or parent would need to plan storytimes. Also included are flannel board stories, poems, and songs with full-size reproducible patterns at the end of each section. A bibliography and discography are provided as well. Easy to use and practical, this book will inspire any reader to put on wonderful, creative programs children will love.
Melville and His Circle
Herman Melville is a towering figure in American literature--arguably the country's greatest nineteenth-century writer. Revising a number of entrenched misunderstandings about Melville in his later years, this is a remarkable and unprecedented account of the aged author giving himself over to a life of the mind. Focusing exclusively on a period usually associated with the waning of Melville's literary powers, William B. Dillingham shows that he was actually concentrating and intensifying his thoughts on art and creativity to a greater degree than ever before. Biographers have written little about Melville's deceptively "quiet" years after the publication of the long poem Clarel in 1876 and b...
