A Missouri Railroad Pioneer
Lawyer and journalist, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Louis Houck is often called the “Father of Southeast Missouri” because he brought the railroad to the region and opened this backwater area to industrialization and modernization.

Lincoln and the Immigrant
Between 1840 and 1860, America received more than four and a half million people from foreign countries as permanent residents, including a huge influx of newcomers from northern and western Europe, hundreds of thousands of Mexicans who became U.S. citizens with the annexation of Texas and the Mexican Cession, and a smaller number of Chinese immigrants.

Tombés du ciel Tome 1
"Kelly ne pouvait lui dire que Jack s'était révélé imprévisible, désobéissant et avait dévoilé sa vraie nature : violente et agressive. Jamais Zoé n'aurait voulu l'admettre ! Et le pire, c'était que Kelly elle-même lui trouvait des excuses. Elle avait vu l'animal se transformer devant ses yeux en quasi-bête sauvage et pourtant quelque chose au fond d'elle le comprenait et admettait cette soudaine agressivité. Elle ne pouvait vraiment lui en vouloir sachant qu'il avait voulu la protéger. "Et, surtout depuis que j'avais discerné dans ses prunelles cette flamme troublante dont j'avais inexplicablement eu grand mal à me remettre."" De Providence, dans le Rhodes Island, jusqu'à ...
