Adair History and Genealogy
Thomas Adair and three sons (James, Joseph and William) emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania about 1730, and then moved to South Carolina about 1750/1755. His son, William Adair (b. 1719) married Mary Moore in 1754, and later moved to Mercer County, Kentucky. Descendants lived in most of the United States.
Rowing After the White Whale
What's it like to be on a small boat with no power but oars, and over 1,500 miles from the nearest land? Two friends decided to find out... Over a boozy Sunday lunch, flatmates James Adair and Ben Stenning made a promise to row across an ocean despite having no sailing or rowing experience whatsoever. This is an account of their 116 days at sea as they undertook the voyage of a lifetime. From eerie calms to their capsize in stormy seas, their determination and perseverance pushed them through the relentless dangers of rowing and sleeping under sun, moon, wind and stars for day upon day. Their tale is one of moonbows and meteor showers, passing whales and thieving fish, lurking sharks and giant squid ... and a terrifying fight for survival.
Adair's History of the American Indians
"Adair's History of the American Indians" by James Adair is a classic study of southeastern Native American culture of the late colonial period from 1735 to 1768. It's one of the few primary sources from that time period that aims to understand that culture, even if it's from the skewed view of an English settler. Even considering it's flaws, the book is considered one of the finest histories of the Native Americans.
The First Nations Incident
Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson and his small team are given two cold cases to solve that were found when building repairs were carried out of the RCMP Barracks in Calgary. It was evident from the start that the original investigation was unprofessional and left a lot to be desired, more so because one case covered the brutal murder of very young children who were twin boys. The other concerned the death of a First Nations chief and relative of DS Jimmy Two Bears, one of Bensons team. There was a lot of political influence brought to bear before the chief was murdered, which muddied the waters somewhat. In the end, Steve was beginning to believe that he would get into retirement knowing he was unable to solve this particular case. It was not a pleasant thought.
