The Galloways: Pioneers, Planters and Patriots
This book traces the Galloways back almost four centuries, starting with their Scottish homelands and their arrival in Virginia in the 1620's. They moved to Maryland in 1649 as part of a Quaker settlement, and from there spread out, following the frontier to Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The author's ancestry is traced back to Thomas, who died in Baltimore in 1798. The story is well documented throughout, with events put into historical context.

This is a copious family history of colonial Maryland planter Richard Talbott, whose family lay claim to Poplar Knowle, a plantation on West River in Anne Arundel County, in December 1656. In all, the vast index to the book refers to some 20,000 Talbott progeny.
The Medal
Life during and after the American Civil War was a torrent of hardship and misery. Drawing upon extensive research, Richard Galloway's novel, The Medal, is an endearing fictional account of one soldier's personal triumph through combat, POW life, slavery, personal conflicts, romance, and, most importantly, loved ones--lost and found. The United States is in the midst of the Civil War, and Simon Bolivar Ramsey is a Union private in the 100th Regiment, New York State Volunteers. In addition to his loved ones back home, Simon has something even more. He carries his father's medal, a talisman that protects him through battles and internment.

The Loyal Traitor
History portrays the Revolution as united Americans rising up against British tyranny. In fact, the colonists were equally divided between Rebels, Loyalists and neutrals. Joseph Galloway was a leading Loyalist. Before the war, he was one of the most powerful and respected men in the colonies. As Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assemebly and a prolific writer, he worked to perserve the peace during two decades of unrest. As a member of the Continental Congress, he argued for consitutional reform instead of rebellion. When war broke out, he joined the British, who made him superintendent of occupied Philadelphia. When the British abandoned the city, he went to London and became spokesman for the refugees there. He died in exile, barred from the country he loved. His story deals with forgotten aspects of the Revolution, such as the persecution of Quaker pacifists, the British command's reluctance to wage war, and how the rebellion divided friends and families.
A Genealogy of the Wives of the American Presidents and Their First Two Generations of Descent
From Martha Washington to Laura Bush, the wife of each U.S. president has found her place in history, often setting trends and doing important work for the nation. This reference work traces the lineage of all presidents' wives, arranged alphabetically from Abigail Adams to Jane Wyman. Genealogy reveals that some of the women are connected to one another through common ancestry, sometimes even through royal blood--for example, the bloodlines of Laura Bush and Abigail Adams join at King Henry II and can then be traced to King Pepin the Short, born in 714. Several others can be traced back to King John, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and Lady Godiva. Clearly organized and easy to use, the work includes not only ancestors but offspring, listing children and grandchildren for each woman. Dates of birth, death, and marriage of ancestors, children and grandchildren are included where known.
