Radical Origins
Val D. Rust's Radical Origins investigates whether the unconventional religious beliefs of their colonial ancestors predisposed early Mormon converts to embrace the (radical( message of Joseph Smith Jr. and his new church. Utilizing a unique set of meticulously compiled genealogical data, Rust uncovers the ancestors of early church members throughout what we understand as the radical segment of the Protestant Reformation.

Avon
Avon, located beside the Farmington River in the fertile Connecticut River Valley, was incorporated in 1830. The proud new town had 1,200 residents, two Congregational meetinghouses, the Farmington Canal, taverns, and a hotel. The busy Talcott Mountain Turnpike connected Avon with Hartford and Albany, New York. Avon shows the town's dynamic changes from 1830 to 1950, including dairy and tobacco farming, the town center, the railroad, the fuse factory, immigration, and Avon Old Farms School. The outstanding photographs in Avon, most published here for the first time, are from the collections of the Avon Historical Society, the Avon Free Public Library, the Avon Congregational Church, the West Avon Congregational Church, Avon Old Farms School, Heublein Tower, the Avon Police Department, and individuals. Of note are remarkable glass plate negatives by Clinton and Frank Hadsell. Featured are collections of lifelong residents John Anthony O'Neill and Carl Candels. The meticulously researched text of Avon fully explains each photograph. There are views of families, farms, and fires, Main Street, Secret Lake, St. Ann's Church, and an 1835 Avon map from the Connecticut Historical Society.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert
"[Sir Humphrey Gilbert] is a grand subject for a biography half as long as Chidsey's "Raleigh," and Chidsey has done it well with his accus¬tomed zest." -Cincinnatti Enquirer Humphrey Gilbert has the charm of his own that Raleigh does not share and, in spite of the paucity of materials left by Gilbert, Mr. Chidsey has brought it out admirably. We admire Raleigh more, but like Gilbert better. And after all, he was an Elizabethan, which means that he lived with a gusto that fascinates this drab and weary regeneration. His life, as done by Mr. Chidsey, makes a fine book, worthy of a place on anyone's library shelves." -The Baltimore Evening Sun
