Joshua Barney had youthful aspirations of becoming a sea captain. When he was eleven years old, his dream came true, and a lifetime occupation on the sea commenced, something possible for a boy living in the 18th century to achieve. Joshua Barney made his first sea voyage at the age of eleven. At the age of fourteen, he was captain of a merchant ship to Europe and back. Barney took part in thirty-five Revolutionary War naval engagements. He lost five of these engagements, suffered imprisonment three times, and escaped the British prison twice. The tale of Barneys incredible victories at sea, frustrating defeats, and cleverness as a prisoner constitute a series of remarkable anecdotes. Joshua was a member of the Cincinnati Society, the Freemasons, and Paris Masonic Lodge of Nine Sisters. Joshua Barney worked with Robert Morris to collect $600,000 dollars in Havana and transport the gold and silver to Philadelphia in June 1782 to fund the Philadelphias Bank of North America, the first United States chartered bank. Barney served in the French Navy as Capitaine Vaisseanu de Premier with the rank equivalent to that of Post Captain of the highest grade. Commodore Barney was the American hero at the battle of Bladensburg, 1814. Joshua Barney proved to be one of the American Brave. American Brave by Thomas Williams Historical Fiction: The story of Admiral Joshua Barney (1759-1818) is fun, informative, emotional, and adventurous.

After twenty-five years of relative peace on the Brook between Squidgy and the Little People, a ferret named Jacko escapes from Gibbins Brook Farm, putting the Little People on high alert! Then, when Stumpy and the Shadow Book suddenly go missing, the Little People know the wizard has found them. Seven of the tiny folk, only half a thumb high, have been hiding from the wicked Wizard of Wozzle ever since he invaded their homeland a thousand years ago. Before they fled Gyminge, the high seer, Dayko, predicted the Little People would one day return and defeat the wizard with the help of a child, but without the Shadow Book, the Little People can't summon the Shadow children who've helped them in the past. As the recent events unfold, the Little People seek Gumpa and gran'ma's help in finding real children willing to take up the cause of Truth and fight the wizard. Will Stormy, Specs, Ginger, and Bajjer even believe in the Little People, let alone help them? Will this band of Little People be able to rescue Stumpy and the Shadow Book before the wizard initiates an all-out attack? Join Gumpa and the Little People in Gibbins Brook Farm, the third installment of The Twith Logue Chronicles. Discover how the evil plans of the wicked Wizard of Wozzle are once again brought to naught.
