Earned Acreage
European Kings and Queens no longer controlled the actions of the horde of indomitable colonists that had settled the Eastern Seaboard of America. These early settlers had rebelled against the English Crown and launched a new country. Following the discoveries of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, a migration from the East followed the beckoning sun west into the wilderness. They traveled by wagon, by horseback, or just walked...but they moved Westward. These pioneers, these seekers of fortune or just adventure, comprised a great migration of folks. Some were na簿ve, some were corrupt, some foolish, while others exhibited vast amounts of courage and an indomitable will to achieve a better life, fame, or fortune. But in coming west, they all shared in the building of a nation that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The Defiant Carolinians and its sequel, Earned Acreage, tell their story.

Aeschylus, Character, and the Yoke of Necessity
Aeschylus, Character, and the Yoke of Necessity considers the works of Aeschylus in the context of the playwright's handling of dramatic character and the conflict between freedom and compulsion. Aeschylus was an Athenian citizen during the first generation of that polis's democratic system. As such, he and his contemporaries were encountering a kind of free agency unknown before in history. Aeschylus presents the archetype of the "tragedy of character" that will resonate throughout world literature. It is a fascinating and essential component to the conception of his drama that his protagonists each of the six plays find ways of escaping freedom in exchange for a self-imposed spiritual bondage. They "slip [their] necks into the yoke of necessity," to borrow a pivotal line from the Agamemnon. Caught between their individual motives and the unavoidable necessity of their situation, each protagonist handles this conflict in a way that defines the specificity of their character and results in the development of the plot. This book also explores the frequently dominant position of the Aeschylean chorus.

Blood Ties
"Blood Ties" is a fierce challenge within one of Brazil's most important families; for the right to freedom of choice that young people need to make, especially regarding the direction to take in their personal lives; the subsequent rebellion resulting from the imposition of parents on this right; the constant persistence of youth belonging to the upper classes of this century against the prejudices derived from the excessive imposition of their millionaire parents, on those whom they still dominate; and the strong challenges faced by their forbidden loves, impeded dreams, unattainable achievements, the need to overcome countless obstacles... Paradoxically, this is the story of rebellion experienced by a group of ten young people who raise the flag of independence in the name of a free and unprejudiced love, determined to change habits, customs and family traditions, setting out in search of a new beginning where they will become precursors of their own destinies.
