On the High Seas
After being driven from their farms, their homes and their beloved Ireland by draconian laws imposed by the English Crown, religious persecution and failure of their potato crops, these fictitious Irish families face one challenge after another, during the voyage, demonstrating their resiliency, willingness to make a new start and their deep faith as they travel by sailing ship through storms and unhealthy conditions aboard ship from the port of Derry in the north of Ireland to America in the fall of 1851. A spy of the Crown threatens to make a bad trip even worse. Guardian angels watch over them and offer support and guidance.
Take the High Road
Brian O'Boyle, only 17 years old, kept vigil as his baby sister and little brother, mother and father, one by one, weakened by starvation, caused by the potato famine, succumbed to the dreaded fever and died. Now they lay cold and dead. With an aching heart, hopeless and afraid, utterly alone and more dead than alive, he yearned to quickly join his family in Heaven. But God had other plans for him and his guardian angel tried to help him find the "high road." Did he accept the angel's guidance? The O'Donnell family, Liam, Sarah, Paddy and Bridgid were a well-respected and successful merchant family but, because of their Catholic faith, they were shunned, banished and mercilessly compelled to leave their home and business. How did they deal with the challenges of being forcefully uprooted? Did they connect with Brian O'Boyle? Would their guardian angels bring them together on the "high road?"
Abraham Lincoln
Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, this landmark publication establishes Burlingame as the most assiduous Lincoln biographer of recent memory and brings Lincoln alive to modern readers as never before.
High Hopes and Dreams
High Hopes and Dreams begins where On the High Seas ends. It's the first week of November, 1851, and the ship carrying the O'Donnell family, and about 120 Irish immigrants, have braved the two-month voyage from Derry, Ireland. The ship has entered its final leg - traversing the Chesapeake Bay and landing at a wharf in Baltimore. Uncharacteristically cold weather has stifled most commerce and life in general, limiting nearly all outdoor movement and postponing the high hopes and dreams of the immigrant families. The newly extended O'Donnell family is offered lodging as welcomed guests of the Archbishop in the rectory at the Baltimore Basilica. The O'Donnell's struggle to protect the cabin boy, a fourteen year old child, whom they helped to escape the bonds of slavery to the ship's captain. Slave patrols, a bumbling pair of Bavarian immigrant brothers and others are attempting to recapture him and return him to the ship's captain who claims that he is the boy's rightful owner.
Jonesport and Beals
About a year after the Mayflower arrived in the New World, Colonel William Beal came to America on the Fortune. He soon settled in the area of Jonesport and Beals Island. The quaint area of Jonesport and Beals, on the northern section of Maine's shoreline, became a summer haven for many families in northern Maine and remains a summer resort area today. Jonesport's livelihood still relies on fishing and sardine packing, as it did over 100 years ago. Beals, a community on Beals Island, is known for its deep-sea fishing. Over 200 images reflect the peaceful life in Jonesport, Beals, and the outer islands of Jonesport as it has been for many years. Residents and tourists spend time exploring the many secluded bays and islands, walking the beaches, and picking the blueberries that are abundant in this area of the country.
