Mendocino in the Seventies
A pictorial look back at a special time in a special place, a social history of the 1970s counterculture on the Mendocino Coast of northern California, with 160 pages and over 180 documentary photos. The limited first edition was sold out a week after release, becoming an instant rare book. The current First Revised Edition is the same book with a few errors and omissions corrected. "...Nicholas Wilson brings that era to blazing life once more. It's time travel at its funniest and most poignant.... Reading 'Mendocino In the Seventies' is a bittersweet visit to a time we imagined could last forever, but was gone in the space of a decade or so. ... If you can find a copy ... by all means grab it." -- Tony Miksak in Words On BooksRead the full review by longtime bookseller Tony Miksak in the archive at http://web.archive.org/web/20080514075418/http://www.gallerybookshop.com/bkm/wob061217.htmlFor complete details and sample photos see www.nwilsonphoto.com/book.htm
The Last Letters of Thomas More
Written from the Tower of London, these letters of Thomas More still speak powerfully today. The story of Thomas More, recently told in Peter Ackroyd's bestselling biography, is well known. In the spring of 1534, Thomas More was taken to the Tower of London, and after fourteen months in prison, the brilliant author of Utopia, friend of Erasmus and the humanities, and former Lord Chancellor of England was beheaded on Tower Hill. Yet More wrote some of his best works as a prisoner, including a set of historically and religiously important letters. The Last Letters of Thomas More is a superb new edition of More's prison correspondence, introduced and fully annotated for contemporary readers by ...

Plantation Life on the Mississippi
One day in 1852, The Princess, one of the finest steamboats afloat on the Mississippi River one hundred years ago was rounding the bend a Duncan�s Point about ten miles below Baton Rouge, when the boilers exploded with a frightful loss of life. The disaster occurred in front of the Conrad cottage where a descendant, the late G. Mather Conrad, of New Orleans, was born and lived as a youth.

As he watched he he...
Wills and Administrations of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, 1688-1800, with Other Genealogical and Historical Items
Owing to an unfortunate error in Clayton Torrence's Virginia Wills and Administrations it is widely believed that the early probate records of Elizabeth City County do not exist. This present volume is in large part a correction of that error, and indeed the bulk of it is devoted to abstracts of the county's wills and administrations for the period 1688 to 1800. As an aid to research in the county (now the independent city of Hampton), this work further includes such items as an index to land patents, the quit rent rolls for 1704, tithables of 1782, soldiers of 1776, marriage records, and lists of burgesses, justices, sheriffs, clerks, surveyors, and much else besides.
