The Life of Yellowstone Kelly
Based on the memoirs and correspondence of Luther Sage "Yellowstone" Kelly (1849-1928), this first full-length biography offers a comprehensive look at a remarkable man who knew the frontier of the American West and recorded his impressions of that time and place with a fluid, literary pen.
“Yellowstone Kelly” - The Memoirs Of Luther S. Kelly
‘In the narrative of “Yellowstone Kelly” we have a rare story of adventure and service. General Miles, who knew him long and intimately, fitly compares him with such heroes of the American wilderness as Daniel Boone and David Crocket...His story is at once an important contribution to the history of the western frontier in the decades to which it pertains and a thrilling tale of sustained adventure’ - M. M. Quaife. ‘What old ‘Yellowstone’ has to say is extremely interesting, and he tells it in simple, straightforward fashion, with a wealth of absorbing detail’ - “New York Times”. ‘Mr. Kelly writes not as a novelist, but as a historian, and his work is rich in the best qualities of both’ - “Outlook”. ‘His memoirs [are] written with a rare skill in narration...It is a part of the story of the West and particularly of the Yellowstone region that we could ill afford to lose’ - “Review of Reviews”. ‘Here is history in a most entertaining form’ - “Boston Transcript”.
Jane Austen, the Secret Radical
'A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.' Caroline Criado-Perez, Guardian Almost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don't confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers' enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don't read her properly - we haven't been reading her properly for 200 years. Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects – feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution – at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason. Uncovering a radical, spirited and political engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.
The Civil War and Yadkin County, North Carolina
Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the Civil War. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted. Some of these holed up in the Bond School House, and when the militia attempted to arrest them, four were killed and several others were wounded. This is a comprehensive accounting of how the county responded to the Civil War and the effect it had on Yadkin's citizens, civilian and military alike.
