Duty, Honor and a Loaf of Bread
"Like other families, letters were the fabric that held the fledgling Waldron family together during the personally trying, society changing events of World War II. Bill, the town baker, voluntarily became an infantry soldier and platoon scout in Europe and Marge, a new wife, became the town baker - the Waldron's version of Rosie the Riveter. Nothing in their lives had prepared them for these roles yet everything in their lives made them equal to the tasks at hand. Their letters to one another provide an intimate view of an American family triumphing in the face of adversity. Duty, Honor, Faith, Love and Family all play a role and readers will come to love and admire both of them. Bill's let...
The Story of Heritage Village
With the humble beginning of two historic buildings acquired in 1986, the Montcalm Heritage Village has grown to include more than 25 original and reconstructed structures and hundreds of artifacts from local areas depicting life in Michigan at the turn of the 1800s to 1900s. The Village comes alive during the annual Heritage Festival the first weekend in August and includes a one-room schoolhouse reenactment, a working blacksmith shop, and a civil war encampment. The Story of Heritage Village, however, is not simply a story of buildings, amazing as they are. This is a story about people those who lived in and among these structures in days gone by, and those who have labored to reconstruct and preserve them, and bring them to life. It is the fabric of these individual narratives that has been woven together to make The Story of Heritage Village.

The Autumn Of My Time
The Autumn of My Time is an autobiography of my life and my family. The narrative sweeps across a century and a half of Americana, and documents the trials and tribulations of a growing American family through the days of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, The Korean War and the Vietnam conflict. It tells the story of gentler times, when families lived and worked in adjoining towns. Cousins actually knew each other and went to the same school and played together on weekends. When radio was in its infancy, automobiles had rumble-seats, TV was a fantasy and neighbors knew and helped each other. It spans the gap from World War I through Hitler’s invasion of Poland, and Japan’s cowardly att...
The First Hollywood Sound Shorts, 1926-1931
This study of early sound shorts begins with an explanation of the development of sound motion pictures in Hollywood by such influential companies as Warner Bros. and Fox, with an emphasis on short subjects, leading up to the first few months when all of the major studios were capable of producing them. The next chapters discuss the impact on other mass entertainments, the development of audible news reels and other non-fiction shorts, as well as the origins of animated sound subjects. A comprehensive list of pre-1932 American-made shorts completes the volume.
