In 1833, the English family of George Poulton set sail, intent on claiming land in Canada.Their tale of crossing New York on an Erie Canal packet boat ends in tragedy as the father dies in Lockport, leaving a wife and five young children with a claim to land no longer valid. In desperation, the mother places her two youngest children in adoptive homes and enrolls the two eldest in the Emma Willard Academy, Troy, New York. Later, one daughter marries the son of Niagara Falls architect John Latshaw and another marries Judge Thomas Dawkins who, in the waning years of the Confederacy, risks life and fortune to provide sanctuary to the South Carolina government of Andrew Magrath. Leading the family into the turn of the century is George Edward Ladshaw who partners with a brother to found Ladshaw & Ladshaw, a civil and hydraulic engineering firm that rides the wave of the burgeoning Carolina cotton mill industry. Overshadowing this success is the tragic story of the eldest Poulton child who inherits the scourge of bipolar disorder and dies in a South Carolina mental institution. Eventually, the entire family that had sailed from English shores settles in South Carolina and becomes "All Together Once More." This true story of an immigrant family in America is intertwined with a narrative of hope, despair, and success and is based upon letters, a diary and family bible, Emma Willard Academy records, family accounts, and legal documents. The book is generously illustrated and fully annotated.

Margery is a historical novel set in the 15th century Germany, portraying a vivid picture of the life in medieval Europe through the life story of Margery Schopper. "I, MargerySchopper, was born in the year of our Lord 1404, on the Tuesday after Palm Sunday. My uncle ChristanPfinzing of the Burg, a widower whose wife had been a Schopper, held me at the font. My father, God have his soul, was Franz Schopper, known as Franz the Singer. He died in the night of the Monday after Laetare Sunday in 1404, and his wife my mother, God rest her, whose name was Christine, was born a Behaim; she had brought him my two brothers Herdegen and Kunz, and she died on the eve of Saint Catharine's day 1404; so that I lost my mother while I was but a babe, and God dealt hardly with me also in taking my father to Himself in His mercy, before I ever saw the light.As for myself, I was the youngest and smallest of the three links, and yet I was the middle one; for if ever it fell that Herdegen and Kunz had done one thing or another which led them to disagree and avoid or defy each other, they always came together again by seeking me and through my means. But though I thus sometimes acted as peacemaker it is no credit to me, since I did not bring them together out of any virtue or praiseworthy intent, but simply because I could not bear to stand alone, or with only one ring linked to me."

(Applause Books). There has been a great change in the last twenty years to actor auditions, which now require the demonstration of enormous flexibility. The actor is often expected to show more range than ever before, and often several shorter audition speeches are asked for instead of one or two longer ones. To stay at the top of his or her game, the Shakespearean actor needs more knowledge of what makes the play tick, especially since the early plays demand a different style from the later ones. Each genre (comedy, history, tragedy) has different requirements. No current monologue book deals directly with the bulk of these concerns. One More unto the Speech, Dear Friends now fills that gap. This three volume set will help actors discover the extra details of humanity that the original folio texts automatically offer. Of Shakespeare's 37 plays, only Pericles is not included. In the trilogy of books there are over 900 separate audition possibilities. This represents about 600 more monologues than are available in any other series. There are four parts to each speech: * A background giving context and approximate timing; * A modern text version; * The original folio version; * Commentary to explain the differences between the two texts including full discussion of the devices peculiar to that speech's genre, the age and gender of the character, and more.

It is 1924, and the small town of Monticello, Indiana, offers little excitement to sixteen-year-old Emmett Trentham and fifteen-year-old Billy Mac Finch who usually have to create their own brand of entertainment. But when the teenagers stumble onto a decaying log cabin hidden deep in scrub, everything changes. As Emmo and Mackie explore the inside of the cabin, they hurl bricks at the fireplace, creating a large hole that reveals a secret room. After they slip into the tiny dark crack to investigate further, they are surprised by Maddie Miller, the great-granddaughter of the cabin's owner, who has arrived after hearing the loud noises. As soon as the three friends discover an old Indian tomahawk pipe and a hand-drawn treasure map, they begin unraveling a perplexing mystery that includes the great Shawnee leader Tecumseh and a real-life legend of buried Indian treasure. In this adventurous historical tale, Emmo, Mackie, and Maddie enter an unfamiliar world of ghosts, suspense, betrayal, and danger as they begin an unforgettable journey to help fulfill an ancient promise.
