Chimes, Times, and Rhymes
My Grandmother Shirley has always been much loved by our family. I always knew her to be a poet and she'd have a tendency to create a rhyme on the fly to describe in her unique way something of the current circumstances. No major family event would go by without some poem being invented or recited for the occasion. On the mantle of the fireplace were some awards she won for poetry which I did not understand the meaning of these trophies until working to compile this book and found a newspaper article about Shirley being among the "Who's Who in Poetry." According to the article by The Dickenson Star, she was included for "outstanding achievement in poetry" for the poem Returning. She also received the Golden Poet Award from World of Poetry in 1989. Indeed, World of Poetry's fall newsletter for 1989 was found with the papers used to compile this book.I am proud of the recognition she received and I think it was well deserved recognition.

Oklahoma Place Names
In this new and enlarged edition of his popular book, the author has added not only a number of new entries but also new information to existing entries. Nearly 3,600 counties, cities, mountains, and lakes are listed alphabetically, with such information as origin of name, date of founding and abandonment of towns, existence of a post office, changes of name, and other pertinent details. The story of its place names shows the entire panorama of Oklahoma history. The state has occupied a peculiar position as the converging point of many and varied civilizations, and its names are a reflection of the romance of its racial and pioneering past. The music of Spanish and the guttural of Indian tongues are to be found in close juxtaposition in the names of geographical features. French, English, and even Bohemian names produce a medley of nomenclature probably unequaled anywhere else in the University States. The author has drawn his materials from information supplied by historical archives, government records, and the recollections of private individuals, in addition to making use of Charles Gould's pioneering work on the subject, published by the University of Oklahoma Press in 1933 and long out of print. George H. Shirk, prominent attorney and former mayor of Oklahoma City, was president of the Oklahoma Historical Society. A well-known authority on Oklahoma history, he was the author of many articles published in The Chronicles of Oklahoma, the quarterly journal of the Society. Historian Muriel H. Wright, longtime editor of Chronicles of Oklahoma, has been recognized for her distinguished career by the University of Oklahoma and by other public and civic organizations.

Freedom’s Rush
When you're out riding, things happen. If you keep at it, everything happens.... Thus goes the simple wisdom of Foster Kinn in Freedom's Rush: Tales from The Biker and The Beast. Join Kinn as he rides his motorcycle throughout the western half of the continental United States with an occasional detour into Canada and experience with him all that can happen in a "day in the life" of a biker: "Sometimes you're hungry, sometimes you eat too much. Sometimes you're unbearably hot, sometimes painfully cold. You lose things and get lost; you find things and find your way. You fall in love, you find things to despise. You bleed and you heal; you get sick, then you're invincible. The rains pelt, the snows blind, the winds make you helpless. You ride through gorgeous scenery and through desolate wastelands; all places are the way they're supposed to be and they're all perfect. It's life in microcosm." In part a celebration of the grandness of this wide, wonderful world, in part a meditation on the meaning of freedom and our sacred right to create, you will laugh with Kinn at all the wonderfully wacky characters he meets on the road, and you will be dazzled by the utter joy he finds in the simple act of riding a Harley. When you read the last line, you will know what he means when he writes: As long as Freedoms exist, we will ride; As long as we ride, Freedoms will exist.

Agriculture, Geology, and Society in Antebellum South Carolina
The centerpiece of this generously annotated book is the diary kept by the celebrated agricultural reformer Edmund Ruffin during the eight months in 1843 when, at the request of Governor James Henry Hammond, he conducted an economic survey of South Carolina, traveling to every corner of the state to examine the different farming methods in use and the resources available for their improvement. Ruffin's succinct and pointed narrative, driven by a passionate interest in the perpetuation of slavery, recaptures for the modern reader the physical and social environment of the Palmetto State two decades before the outbreak of the Civil War in the Charleston harbor.

What I Saw in America
What I Saw in America is a classic American travelogue by the great English writer, GK Chesterton. It contains this passage: "A question is current in our looser English journalism touching what should be done with the German Emperor after a victory of the Allies. Our more feminine advisers incline to the view that he should be shot. This is to make a mistake about the very nature of hereditary monarchy. Assuredly the Emperor William at his worst would be entitled to say to his amiable Crown Prince what Charles II. said when his brother warned him of the plots of assassins: "They will never kill me to make you king." Others, of greater monstrosity of mind, have suggested that he should be sent to St. Helena. So far as an estimate of his historical importance goes, he might as well be sent to Mount Calvary."

Christopher Morley’s Philadelphia
Christopher Morley was one of the most celebrated American authors of the 1920s and 1930s. Best known as the author of Parnassus on Wheels and Kitty Foyle, Morley wrote for a popular audience that keenly appreciated his style, his wit, and his exuberant championing of the written word. Morley wrote most of the pieces collected in this volume from 1918 to 1920, while a columnist for the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. His assignment: to "saunter" around town and the Philadelphia suburbs, and then - usually after a leisurely lunch - report back. The result was a series of lively essays that, read now, not only reveals a city's colorful past, but sheds light on its present: much of the Philadelphia Morley explored remains intact for the native or visitor with the eye and patience to discover it. Morley's best Philadelphia work, scattered among 12 volumes published during his lifetime, have been collected in this handsome new book, which includes period illustrations by Walter Jack Duncan and Frank Taylor, and a critical introduction by Ken Kalfus. Published on May 5, 1990, on the 100th anniversary of Morley's birth, Christopher Morley's Philadelphia brings together numerous essays that have been out of print for 50 years or longer. The book joins Fordham University Press's 1988 collection, Christopher Morley's New York, as a lasting contribution to the Morley oeuvre.

Pocomoke
Pocomoke on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore evolved from a green and tranquil land with mild climate, productive soil, and abundant natural resources into a town on the National Register of Historic Places. Pocomoke is minutes from the Ocean City beach resort, the Assateague National Seashore Wildlife Refuge with its wild ponies, and Wallops Island, home of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Much of this volume describes the Pocomoke River, and shipbuilding, the town's leading industry for thirty years. Featured are Skipjacks (oyster boats), majestic sailboats built in Tull's shipyard, and the new Discovery Center with a simulated steamboat similar to boats used for trips to Baltimore in 1869. The volume portrays Pocomoke's African-American heritage, and influential Black citizens. Carol Johnsen selected author, Pat Stille Martin, Professional Counselor, to help her revitalize Pocomoke City. Through eighty-year-old skylights and limestone, Carol and Pat, looked to the past to add fresh insight and perspectives to the traditions, culture, and events of Pocomoke City. Carol and Pat hope that this nostalgic history will inspire residents to participate in the revitalization of their town and allow visitors to experience the local arts, events, and traditions of Pocomoke, complete with directions to a great meal of local foods with the special character and hospitality of the region. "Martin researched museums and libraries from Connecticut to Florida combining memories of Pocomoke visitors and citizens to recreate the early days of a thriving seaport and shipbuilding community on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Not until Martin's research did I appreciate all that went into revitalizing the charming and commercially successful seaport into a delightful historic town."

Virginia Distilled
Colonist George Thorpe first crafted corn beere, an ancestor to bourbon, in 1620 at Berkeley Plantation, and George Washington once operated one of the nation's largest distilleries. Icy mint juleps were first served in Virginia until the state was one of the first to enact Prohibition. That dark period gave rise to bootlegging, moonshining and even NASCAR. Through well-documented research, interviews with key stakeholders and plenty of cocktail recipes for the reader to shake and stir at home, author Patrick Evans-Hylton showcases the rich history of four hundred years of drinking in the Commonwealth. Raise a glass to Virginia, birthplace of American spirits, and its long history of distilling and imbibing.

Trimmigrant
Road memoirs of a world nomad trying to find a job in a medical cannabis farm. This trip wasn't meant to be such a...trip. Actually, it wasn't even meant to happen, and the only reason it did is because, one lazy afternoon, the author heard from his old pal Val about some work on the medical marijuana farms in Northern California. It seemed easy enough: head up the mountains, hook up with Val, and sit around all day trimming weed. Just a trim. The alleged pay for the work was hard to believe, especially given the young man at hand's bank account and the financial landscape the world over. Thus began a voyage towards the well-famed American Dream, but a greener and more modern version. Despite all its promise, the trip soon spirals into an agonizing struggle to survive, with danger lurking around every corner and eccentric characters that lead to unthinkably complex situations. The miles rack up in an America thought long extinct, where the country's timeless contradictions torment her more than ever, but feet pound another road as well: the trail of fire that chooses you, the path your instincts pave, where one road leads to another, full of signs and traps, the journey you know is right only once it's over. And hopefully it will be over, but for now... you're in Humboldt.

Six Heritage Tours of the Lower East Side
An illustrated (and educational) walking guide tour of Manhattan's astonishingly diverse Lower East Side Many of our nation's oldest ethnic communities trace their roots in this country to New York City's Lower East Side. A century ago, travelers to the area could attend a black-faced minstrel show performed by Irishmen, drink German lager, visit Jewish-run gambling houses, and dine on Chinese delicacies, all within a matter of blocks. Long a hub of immigrant cultures, this vibrant section of New York City remains one of the country's most astonishingly diverse neighborhoods. This unique walking guide takes us back to the world of these bustling immigrant enclaves. The historical tours, enlivened by colorful photographs and illustrations, chronicle the evolution of the communities--African, German, Irish, Chinese, Jewish, and Italian--for whom the Lower East Side served as an entryway into America. As participants stroll through one of the world's most heterogeneous and visually stimulating neighborhoods, the tours take them past such historic points as the African burial ground excavation site; Old St. Patrick's Cathedral, the first Catholic cathedral in New York State; the charming Caff Roma, which still serves authentic Italian coffee and desserts much as it did in the early 1900s; the oldest still- standing Jewish house of worship in the City; the site of the notorious Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911; and Mott Street, the main thoroughfare around which New York's Chinatown developed. Combining educational historical accounts with enchanting scenic tours, the heritage tours impart a keen sense of the legacies waiting to be discovered in the Lower East Side's remarkable past.
Wildes Kanada
"Und weil jene Zeit die schwerste war, deswegen wurde sie mir zur lehrreichsten. Auf den dort gesammelten Erfahrungen baute sich der sp瓣tere Erfolg auf und 繹ffnete mir das Tor der Verhei?ung in die Wildnis." Kanada im fr羹hen 20. Jahrhundert: Im Auftrag der "Staatlichen Museen f羹r Tierkunde und V繹lkerkunde Dresden" macht Max Hinsche sich 1926 ohne jede Mittel auf nach Westkanada. Auf der Suche nach seltenen, bisher unbekannten V繹geln und S瓣ugetieren meistert er 9 Jahre im tiefsten Urwald sein (?ber) Leben im Einklang mit der Natur. Dabei st繹?t Hinsche mehr als nur einmal an seine Grenzen. Max Hinsches (1896-1939) autobiographische Erz瓣hlung lebt nicht nur von Abenteuern, Begegnungen mit Ureinwohnern und lebensgef瓣hrlichen Situationen, sondern auch von Freundschaft, Einblicken in seine Gedankenwelt und einer Liebe zum einfachen Leben. Er war Pr瓣parator, Gro?wildj瓣ger, Naturwissenschaftler und Schriftsteller. Die extremen k繹rperlichen Belastungen und sehr einseitige Ern瓣hrung seiner Jahre in Kanada trugen vermutlich zu seinem fr羹hen Tod bei.
