The Storytellers' Journey
This is the seed of The Storytellers' Journey, Joseph Daniel Sobol's history of the past thirty years of American storytelling. In this compelling examination of the contemporary search for myth, Sobol explores the social and psychological roots of the storytelling revival and the ever-resurgent power of the storyteller. Drawing on interviews with dozens of storytellers around the country, Sobol paints the revival as part of a larger process of cultural revitalization. He traces the growth of the preeminent revival organization, the National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling (NAPPS), and details the individual passions, the organizational politics, and the economic, social, and mythic forces that have combined to transform a ragtag assemblage of enthusiasts into a national and international network of arts professionals. A seemingly chance encounter between a restlessly ambitious high school teacher and a coonhunting tale on the car radio sets off a chain of inspirations that changes the face of a small southern town, touches lives across America, and revitalizes a homely but treasured art form.

History of the Town of Stonington, County of New London, Connecticut, from Its First Settlement in 1649 to 1900
Founded primarily on town, church, and charter records, Wheeler's History of Stonington is a harmonious blend of history and genealogy. The work is divided into two main sections: the "History of Stonington" and the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Commencing with a survey of the founders and early settlements, with a glance at the original town patents, the first section deals at length with the history of Stonington in the various wars and includes lists of officers and men developed from the most reliable sources. The genealogies in the second section generally begin with the immigrant ancestor and continue through six or seven generations in the direct line of descent, providing a progression of names and dates of birth and marriage, with incidental references to places of residence, land holdings, and probated estates. Even though the genealogies are arranged in alphabetical order by family name and therefore are easily accessible, all names cited therein are included in the index, which has more than 12,000 entries.

Little Compton Families
The town of Little Compton, Rhode Island was founded by a band of explorers from Plymouth Colony. From its inception Little Compton has been a bastion of Mayflower ancestry, including that of the Wilbour family of compiler Benjamin Franklin Wilbour. Mr. Wilbour devoted much of his life to compiling genealogies of his own and other families of Little Compton. Based upon extensive research in primary sources and featuring numerous illustrations, Little Compton Families is Benjamin Franklin Wilbour's legacy to the descendants of some 200 families, many of whom are traced back to the middle of the 17th century.
