Stone Pond
This is no ordinary history of a small weekend community in New Hampshire. Local lore has it that Malcolm Ford murdered his more famous brother, Paul Leicester Ford, at a tavern at the end of the road. In the process of investigating this legend, the Rev. William D. Eddy has compiled this fascinating chronicle of the inhabitants and associates of Merrywood, the grand estate on Stone Pond near Malborough, New Hampshire.In this idiosyncratic memoir, Mr. Eddy takes the readers through the local history of one grand estate, Merrywood, and it's inhabitants and associates. He shows the reader a glimpse of the lives and foibles of the Chases, Fords, Kidders, and the Lodges -- among them publishing magnates, German refugees, and influential folksingers. This book is a must-read for anyone who knows and loves the Arcadia at the base of Mt. Monadnock.

Genealogy of the Eddy Family
In the following pages the compiler has endeavored to gather into a conveniently referrecl-to system the information which he has received from many members of the family and other sources, bearing upon the genealogy of the Eddys. Accuracy and completeness have been aimed at; but the field is a large one, and there will be much to add; it is a difficult one. and there will be much to correct; still, it is felt that something may here be found of interest to the members of each branch of the family, and by its perusal many persons who do not find their names in the book may be aided by it in tracing their connection, and thereby fill out the record of their particular branch. The descendants of Kev. William Eddy, A.M., are.here traced down to the present time in the female as well as the male lines, thus giving the compilation a more general character and a correspondingly increased interest. Surely one good purpose will be served by thus systematizing what ancestral knowledge is current-the placing of such in a form which will ensure its perpetuity.
The Best Land Under Heaven: The Donner Party in the Age of Manifest Destiny
Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence Finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award A Publishers Weekly Holiday Guide History Pick “A book so gripping it can scarcely be put down.... Superb.” —New York Times Book Review "WESTWARD HO! FOR OREGON AND CALIFORNIA!" In the eerily warm spring of 1846, George Donner placed this advertisement in a local newspaper as he and a restless caravan prepared for what they hoped would be the most rewarding journey of a lifetime. But in eagerly pursuing what would a century later become known as the "American dream," this optimistic-yet-motley crew of emigrants was met with a chilling nightmare; in the following months, their jingoistic excitem...

Arabian Knight
Bill Eddy knew the Arabs and the Middle East better than any other American of the 20th century, and the work of his eventful life helped to establish the United States as the dominant strategic power in the region. Born in Lebanon, he spoke Arabic like a native. He was a Marine Corps hero of World War I, a prominent scholar of classical English literature, a brilliant spymaster in North Africa during the Allied landings there in World War II, and a major player in the Washington power games that led to the creation of the CIA. He was the impresario of President Franklin Roosevelt's landmark meeting with King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia in 1945, and his work as the senior U.S. diplomat in Jeddah cemented the improbable alliance of the United States and the desert kingdom. To know his story is to understand why the United States today is an indispensable force in the Arab world--for better or worse. -- Jacket flap.
