Gray, Maine
Also known as "the Crossroads of Maine" due to the intersection of five major routes in its village center, Gray is a town known for its exciting past. The home of the first water-powered woolen mills built in the United States, Gray has experienced tremendous success through the years while maintaining its small town values. In addition to the town's sense of community and drive to succeed, its prime location between the cities of Portland and Lewiston has also contributed to its growth and progress. This richly detailed visual history chronicles Gray's last 230 years, beginning with the 18th century, when the early settlers established King's Mast Yard. In this collection of over 200 photographs, the author explores a variety of topics, from the nationally known grave site of a Confederate soldier to one of the first high-speed electric railways. As you leaf through the pages of this book, you will meet many of the people who have shaped the town's history, from a teacher of the Fisher Brothers, the designers for GM automobiles, to the citizens whose influences went far beyond Gray's borders and into the worlds of banking, medicine, and moon exploration.
The New Empire of the Rockies
"This volume represents the fourth in a series of five Class 1 Overview histories prepared by the Colorado State Office, Bureau of Land Management. The purpose of these works is to develop a synthetic history of a given area in order to provide our managers and staff specialists with a baseline overview of the history of a district. ... It must be noted that the major cities , like Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Greeley are only mentioned. This is because there is no public land in these places and the Bureau's mandate is to manage the public lands, not private estates."--Foreword.
A Beautiful Spy
Full of suspense, courage, and love, A Beautiful Spy is a stunningly written story about resisting the norm and following your dreams, even if they come with sacrifices. Minnie Gray is an ordinary young woman. She is also a spy for the British government. It all began in the summer of 1928... Minnie is supposed to find a nice man, get married, and have children. The problem is that it doesn’t appeal to her at all. She is working as a secretary, but longs to make a difference. Then, one day, she gets her chance. She is recruited by the British government as a spy. Under strict instructions not to tell anyone, not even her family, she moves to London and begins her mission—to infiltrate the Communist movement. She soon gains the trust of important leaders. But as she grows more and more entangled in the workings of the movement, her job becomes increasingly dangerous. Leading a double life starts to take its toll on her relationships and, feeling more isolated than ever, she begins to wonder how this is all going to end. The Russians are notorious for ruthlessly disposing of people, given the slightest suspicion. What if they find out?
