Book excerpt: Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) was born in Portsmouth, NH. When she was four, her father became the lighthouse keeper on White Island in the Isles of Shoals. After resigning his post eight years later, he built a resort hotel on Appledore Island in Maine. The first of its kind on the New England coast, the hotel became a gathering place for writers and artists during the latter half of the 19th century. In her last year of life, Celia published this work, in which she lovingly describes her Appledore garden and its flowers. The flowers she grew in her cutting garden filled her own rooms and those of the hotel, and this work became famous for its descriptions of the old-fashioned flowers she grew there. Her island garden, a plot that measured 15 feet square, has been re-created and is open to visitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Marshall is a blue-blooded American Prince – he grew up in Locust Valley, Long Island's Gold Coast, and has just graduated from St. Stephens, four years in New Hampshire playing hockey and lacrosse and earning grades Yale will find sufficient, given the long line of Marshall's who've preceded him and their generous contributions to the endowment. The weekend following graduation finds him in Tuxedo Park for a house party thrown by a classmate, but he arrives to an empty house – except for the girl. Mary's only sixteen, but her looks and confidence are of another age, and they drive off an hour after meeting. As the drive continues they fall deeper and deeper in love, through a moonlit night in Mantoloking, to a magical evening on Maryland's Eastern Shore, to the mystery of Charleston, and finally to Savannah, where the sojourn comes to an abrupt end. Six years and a surprise reunion later find Tommy an entitled entrepreneur whose dabbling in drugs trouble Mary, now a medical student. They fight, inviting tragedy of the worst kind, and Tommy, alone and adrift, sinks into hopeless addiction, seeking comfort and companionship in Latin America's ex-pat community. Returning to America, his downward spiral is accelerated by a huge inheritance. Recovery comes slow and hard as Tommy learns life's lessons for the first time, and with redemption comes an event so profound and stunning it can only be attributed to grace. Isle Of Shoals is an intimate look at a world gone by, a world where a person's last name determined their destiny, where money and power was a birthright, and a world new money could visit but never belong, because the harder the effort, the more difficult the realization. Above all it's a story about love, a story about a boy and a girl who knew they belonged together for all time the moment they met, only to discover that time was the one thing they couldn't have.

Download or read book Cold Water Crossing written by David Faxon and published by David Faxon. This book was released on 2012-03-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of a double murder that occurred in March, 1873 off the New England coast. The event was followed closely by newspapers across the country for months. It is unique because of the circumstances surrounding the crime and the controversy it raised. Reconstructed from old newspaper articles, court transcripts, the Internet and other source materials, it is as factual as I have been able to make it. Names and places are real, as is trial testimony. Where facts and dialogue were available from research and documented sources, they are accurate. Where they were scant or sustained by rumor yet necessary for the flow of the story and capture of emotions, the interpretations are mine. --author.

Download or read book Boon Island written by Stephen A. Erickson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wreck of the Nottingham Galley on Boon Island and the resultant rumors of insurance fraud, mutiny, treason, and cannibalism was one of the most sensational stories of the early 18th century. Shortly after departing England with Captain John Deane at the helm, his brother Jasper and another investor aboard, and a skeleton crew, the ship encountered French privateers on her way to Ireland, where she then lingered for weeks picking up cargo. They eventually headed into the North Atlantic later in the season than was reasonably safe and found themselves shipwrecked on the notorious Boon Island, just off the New England coast. Captain Deane offered one version of the events that led them to the barren rock off the coast of Maine; his crew proposed another. The story contains mysteries that endure to this day, yet no contemporary non-fiction account of the story exists. In the hands of skilled storytellers Andrew Vietze and Stephen Erickson, this becomes a historical adventure-mystery that will appeal to readers of South and The Perfect Storm.

Book excerpt: "A casually wondrous experience; it made me feel like the city was unfolding beneath my feet.” —Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror In place-names lie stories. That’s the truth that animates this fascinating journey through the names of New York City’s streets and parks, boroughs and bridges, playgrounds and neighborhoods. Exploring the power of naming to shape experience and our sense of place, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro traces the ways in which native Lenape, Dutch settlers, British invaders, and successive waves of immigrants have left their marks on the city’s map. He excavates the roots of many names, from Brooklyn to Harlem, that have gained iconic meaning worldwide. He interviews the last living speakers of Lenape, visits the harbor’s forgotten islands, lingers on street corners named for ballplayers and saints, and meets linguists who study the estimated eight hundred languages now spoken in New York. As recent arrivals continue to find new ways to make New York’s neighborhoods their own, the names that stick to the city’s streets function not only as portals to explore the past but also as a means to reimagine what is possible now.
