Ezra Pound's Letters to William Watt
The letters that Ezra Pound wrote to William Watt from 1956-58 are published for the first time, offering an unusual and perhaps unique degree of insight into an aspect of the poet that is otherwise little known: his interest in, and acquaintanceship with, modern architecture and city-planning. His expression of this interest involved advising Watt on the founding of the journal Diapason, later Agora, which was to be devoted to literature inspired by city and urban life, and to the discussion of cities themselves. These letters also add to what is already known about Pound's mentoring activities and capacities where "les jeunes" were concerned. Like any such collection, they offer a taste of his epistolary style and of the personality that underlay it: kind, devoted to the art of poetry, prejudiced, choleric, merry and facsimile. Since the present collection appears to be the first set of letters printed in its entirety, it's the first to give full evidence that Pound's ellipses and his idiosyncratic spelling, punctuation and typing, in general, held true throughout his correspondence, some readers may find their interest quickened for this reason.--[pg.1].

Descendants of Daniel Pound (1792-1867)

Adventures in Genealogy
This new book takes the reader on a genealogist's odyssey and shows us how research is done by recounting three of the author's mostmemorable cases. While it's completely factual, Adventures in Genealogy reads like a collection of detective stories--complete with chance meetings in cemeteries, serendipitous phone calls, and not one but two murders. This is a book that should command the attention of all researchers and, especially, those who might benefit from observing a master genealogist at work.
They Called Him Wild Bill
His contemporaries called him Wild Bill, and newspapermen and others made him a legend in his own time. Among western characters only General George Armstrong Custer and Buffalo Bill Cody are as readily recognized by the general public. In writing this biography, Joseph G. Rosa has expressed the hope that "Hickok emerges as a man and not a legend." For this comprehensive revision of his earlier biography of Wild Bill the author was allowed to work from newly available materials in the possession of the Hickok family. He also discovered new material pertaining to Wild Bill’s Civil War exploits and his service as a marshal and found the pardon file of his murderer, John McCall. Additional, rare photographs of Wild Bill are published here for the first time. The results of Rosa’s additional research make this second edition the best biography of Wild Bill likely to be written for years to come.
