Book excerpt: The fourth volume in Earl Brechlin's successful Bygone... series of old-postcard books focuses on how our grandparents and great-grandparents had fun in the outdoors: hiking, canoeing, visiting parks and natural wonders, communing with nature at remote mountain resorts, and roughing it at fishing and hunting camps. In addition, some of these old postcards show the serious business of the backcountry: logging camps, early dams, the rail lines that pierced the wilderness. Short, informative descriptions accompany the 100 antique postcard views, which cover all of New England, from northern Maine to Rhode Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Baby Boomer" author and newspaper publisher Philip Burrow takes a heartfelt, and sometimes painful, nostalgic look at being raised in the 50's by his grandparents at a small, backwoods farm in rural North Carolina. In this first-person account, he also delves into the life and family pottery business of his great-grandfather, William Henry Chriscoe, one of the early potters of the modern day Pottery Mecca of Seagrove, NC. Many nostalgic photos of the Chriscoe family are included, some dating back to the early 1900's. You will enjoy this book if: - You fondly remember your aging grandparents, great-uncles, and great-aunts - You were raised by grandparents or someone other than your parents - You like reading of a time when life was slower - You grew up on a small farm - You grew up in the country - You like reading about the "Good old days" - You suffered abuse as a child - You are a parent considering divorce - You are interested in living off the land - You are an "Old-time" Southerner - You appreciate the "Self-sufficiency" lifestyle - You are interested in early North Carolina pottery - You've never shucked a bushel of corn - You've never raised chickens - You've never castrated a pig - You've never sat on an outdoor privy seat and gotten a cold butt in freezing weather - You've never had the run of a home and farm with goats, mules, cows, dogs, cats, kids, and other grand-kids -- a trusting home where relatives and farm neighbors popped in unannounced almost daily by just opening a generally unlocked door. Being raised by grandparents of another generation was an experience to never be forgotten, according to the author. But sometimes being shuffled back and forth between a mother and grandparents was painful and fraught with mixed emotions and feelings. Nevertheless, to have had "a foot in two generations," was a privilege today savored by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For more than a quarter-century, despite the admirable excavations that have unearthed such humorists as John Gorman Barr and Marcus Lafayette, the most significant of the humorists from the Old Southwest have remained the same: Crockett, Longstreet, Thompson, Baldwin, Thorpe, Hooper, Robb, Harris, and Lewis. Forming a kind of shadow canon in American literature that led to Mark Twain's early work, from 1834 to 1867 these authors produced a body of writing that continues to reward attentive readers." "James H. Justus's Fetching the Old Southwest examines this writing in the context of other discourses contemporaneous with it: travel books, local histories, memoirs, and sports manuals, as well as unpublished private forms such as personal correspondence, daybooks, and journals. Like most writing, humor is a product of its place and time, and the works studied herein are no exception. The antebellum humorists provide an important look into the social and economic conditions that were prevalent in the southern "new country," a place that would, in time, become the Deep South." "While previous books about Old Southwest humor have focused on individual authors, Justus has produced the first critical study to encompass all of the humor from this time period. Teachers and students of literary history will appreciate the incredible range of documentation, both primary and secondary."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With thick smoke in his throat and the roar of flame in his ears, Pete Noël awoke, shaking as if in the grip of a nightmare. He sat straight up in his bunk. Instantly he felt his face scorching. The whole cabin was ablaze. Leaping from his bunk, and dragging the blankets with him, he sprang to the door, tore it open, and rushed out into the snow. But being a woodsman, and alert in every sense like the creatures of the wild themselves, his wits were awake almost before his body was, and his instincts were even quicker than his wits. The desolation and the savage cold of the wilderness had admonished him even in that terrifying moment. As he leaped out in desperate flight, he had snatched with him not only the blankets, but his rifle and cartridge-belt from where they stood by the head of the bunk, and also his larrigans and great blanket coat from where they lay by its foot.
