DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Caldecott Medal Winner, Sibert Honor Book, and New York Times bestseller Locomotive is a rich and detailed sensory exploration of America’s early railroads, from the creator of the “stunning” (Booklist) Moonshot. It is the summer of 1869, and trains, crews, and family are traveling together, riding America’s brand-new transcontinental railroad. These pages come alive with descriptive details of the journey: the sounds, speed, and strength of the mighty locomotives; the work that keeps them moving; and the thrill of travel from plains to mountain to ocean. Come sit inside the caboose, feel the heat of the engine, watch the landscape race by. Come ride the rails, come cross the young country!

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Don't scold me, Livy—let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all women; let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question—for you are my world, my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having." These are the words of Samuel Clemens in love. Playful and reverential, jubilant and despondent, they are filled with tributes to his fiancée Olivia Langdon and with promises faithfully kept during a thirty-four-year marriage. The 188 superbly edited letters gathered here show Samuel Clemens having few idle moments in 1869. When he was not relentlessly "banged about from town to town" on the lecture circuit or busily revising The Innocents Abroad, the book that would make his reputation, he was writing impassioned letters to Olivia. These letters, the longest he ever wrote, make up the bulk of his correspondence for the year and are filled with his acute wit and dazzling language. This latest volume of Mark Twain's Letters captures Clemens on the verge of becoming the celebrity and family man he craved to be. This volume has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and by a major donation to the Friends of The Bancroft Library from the Pareto Fund.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“I’ll go to the capital. Even if nothing but darkness awaits me there!” Despite the odds, Princess Altina succeeds in capturing what was once considered to be an impregnable fortress. However, as the newly labeled “Marie Quatre’s Army” settles into their new base of operations, a letter arrives. It is a request from Second Prince Latrielle—an invitation for Altina to return to the capital to celebrate the day the nation was founded. The second prince is a considerable threat, especially given his complete authority over the Belgarian military, but the princess has no shortage of possible enemies. First-Grade Admin Officer Germain, First Prince Auguste, and the Vixen of the South are all in attendance, and a clash of sides seems almost certain. But have those dead set on obstructing Altina’s ambitions already made the first move...!? Here is the third volume of a tale of war, love, and politics, woven by the bookworm and the sword princess.
