The Angel Chronicles
In 1973, a child was born. Okinawa, Japan was his birthplace. However, his mother didnt want him born. She wanted him to be born stillborn. She claimed she didnt want him to be born overseas. And, she almost got her wish, as that child had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck in the womb. The American military doctor recognized this fact when his mother pushed to get him out of her. With every push, his vital signs weakened. Two weeks prior that doctor had another child that died because the cord was around its neck as well. The doctor knew what to do this time. And, that was why Seranaphsus came to earth and was born Rene Thomas Colby on January twenty eighth in nineteen hundred seventy-three. And, it was in 1973 that eventually an angel was born strong enough to understand himself for what he was. That was the year that an infl uential angelic Elder was born to Aeal or earth for her protection and that of the fallen angels, as humans walking around on her surface.
Birth of a Dynasty
The National Hockey League saw the birth of a new dynasty in 1980. The New York Islanders had been an expansion franchise in 1972 in the New York City suburbs of Long Island. For years they played in the long shadow of the big-city New York Rangers and were considered the league's laughingstock during their first season. Miraculously, eight years later, they were champions. Despite their mercurial rise in the 1970s--which included a first-place overall finish in the 1978-79 season--the Islanders were still considered chokers because of playoff failures. The most frustrating failure of all came at the hands of the rival Rangers, who beat them in 1979 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. A ye...

The Ohio
" Originally part of the Rivers of America Series, The Ohio traces the river from its headwaters in Pittsburgh to the point it empties into the Mississippi, nearly a thousand miles and five states later. The Ohio gives us a rare portrait of the frontier era of this region, from backwoods entertainment to learning and the arts. From early exploration to land disputes, clashes with Native American inhabitants to the birth of steamboat travel, the Ohio River comes alive through the retelling of the incidents and anecdotes that shaped its history of what the French called ""the beautiful river.""

La Salle and His Legacy
To most people it probably seems that La Salle and his men, permanently fixed in the pantheon of explorers of the North American continent, need little further introduction. The fact is that this whole early period of exploration and colonization by the French in the southeastern United States has received far less scholarly attention than the corresponding English and Spanish activities in the same area, and even the existing scholarship has failed to focus clearly upon the Indian tribes whose attitudes toward the European new comers were crucial to their very survival. In this collection of essays marking the tricentennial of René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle's 1682 expedition into the Lower Mississippi Valley, thirteen scholars from a variety of disciplines assess his legacy and the significance of French colonialism in the Southeast. These scholars in the fields of French colonial history and the ethnohistory of the Indians of the Louisiana Colony deal with a diversity of topics ranging from La Salle's expedition itself and its place in the context of New World colonialism in general to the interaction of French settlers with native Indian tribes.
