Colonial Families of Maryland
"The main purpose of this work is to chronicle and categorize the life experiences of 519 persons who entered Maryland as indentured servants or, to a lesser extent, as convicts forcibly transported [between 1634-1777]. The text itself is composed of solidly researched sketches of Maryland servants and convicts and their descendants, including 84 that are traced to the third generation or beyond."--Amazon.com.
Diary of an Old Contemptible
This is a most unusual chronicle of the events of one man during the Great War. A professional soldier at the outbreak, Edward Roe was one of the first to cross over to France in 1914 and as such fought in the early battles of the war and took part in the Retreat from Mons. He was there for the crossing of the Marne and Aisne, the dreadful fighting at Ploegsteert and for the extraordinary events during the first Christmas. Remarkably he witnessed the debacle at Gallipoli and was part of the rear-guard of the Army during the re-embarkation and evacuation of the Peninsula. Thereafter the scene shifts to Mesopotania and the Tigris Corps in the attempt to relieve General Townshend at Kut. Wounded he returned for the final campaign that captured Baghdad.
He Fell in Love with His Wife by Edward Roe (a Romance Novel: Annotated)
He Fell in Love with His Wife is the story of James Holcroft, a recently widowed farmer who needs a woman to keep house for him and help him in his dairy. The servants he hires are uniformly awful, and after he finds one of them throwing a party for her friends at his expense, he almost decides to sell his farm. But he's lived there all his life, and he loves it, so he's willing to do almost anything to keep it.Holcroft's neighbor, Lemuel Weeks, suggests that a respectable housekeeper might be the answer, and offers as a candidate his wife's cousin Mrs. Mumpson. Holcroft hires her on a three-month trial basis, but he soon discovers that he's been tricked: Mrs. Mumpson is neither willing to work or capable of working, and she quickly develops the notion that he's going to fall in love with her and marry her. That's so far from being the case that Holcroft actually daydreams about horse-whipping Weeks for tricking him into hiring her.
