The Complete Cul de Sac Volume Two
Cul de Sac began newspaper syndication in September 2007 and ended in September 2012, when creator Richard Thompson retired to focus on treatment for Parkinson's disease. In its too-short time on the comics page, Cul de Sac garnered an avid fan base, a Reuben and a Harvey Award, and remarkable admiration from the cartooning community. In tribute to the strip, all the cartoons that were ever published are gathered here and as a bonus, there are selections of Richard Thompson's pre-syndication Cul de Sac watercolored Sundays. If you haven't discovered Richard Thompson's wonderful Cul de Sac comic strip, you are in for a real treat. Cul de Sac is noted not only for its humor and intelligence, b...
My Experiences of a Great Man
My Experiences of A Great Man Samuel Joseph Blair was known as Sammy to some, Samuel to others, Uncle Sammy to yet others, and Dr. Blair or even Brother Blair to many, many others. But to author Wipey and her sisters, he was Uncle. In My Experiences of a Great Man, Wipey pays tribute to this man who played an important role in her life. In this memoir, she discusses her uncle's life---His birth in 1928, his early years, his education, his family, his failing health, his eventual death, and the great impact he had on others. Writing as a way of coping and healing after Uncle's death, Wipey narrates the lessons she gleaned from him about living a life to the fullest, sharing love, and helping others in big and small ways. The reminiscences included in My Experiences of a Great Man help recapture the positive memories of a man who meant so much to so many.

In early America, interracial homicide—whites killing Native Americans, Native Americans killing whites—might result in a massive war on the frontier; or, if properly mediated, it might actually facilitate diplomatic relations, at least for a time. In Killing over Land, Robert M. Owens explores why and how such murders once played a key role in Indian affairs and how this role changed over time. Though sometimes clearly committed to stoke racial animus and incite war, interracial murder also gave both Native and white leaders an opportunity to improve relations, or at least profit from conflict resolution. In the seventeenth century, most Indigenous people held and used enough leverage t...
Hard Neighbors
Colin Calloway offers an intricate portrait of the early American settlers who came to be known as Scotch-Irish -- from their origins on borderlands on one side of the Atlantic to their crucial part in conquering borderlands on the other. "Hard neighbors," as they were called, the Scotch-Irish were the tip of the spear of white colonial expansion into Indian lands, earning a reputation first as Indian killers and then as embodiments of the American pioneer spirit.
