Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on the banks of the Cape Fear River, Wilmington is awash in unusual tales and legends. A prevalent pirate hideaway, the area harbored the infamous Blackbeard and the cunning Calico Jack Rackham. Since its initial settlement, the region has witnessed an abundance of fantastical lore, including passionately fought duels, explosive train wrecks, Revolutionary and Civil War heroes and some legends that are said to take the form of apparitions. At the local Cape Fear Wine & Beer pub, the ghost of a fallen redcoat can't seem to get enough of a frothy porter brewed from yeast salvaged from an early nineteenth-century shipwreck. Wonder at these and other fascinating and strange tales as local author John Hirchak reveals the legendary history of Wilmington and Cape Fear.
Download or read book Lifeguarding written by Catherine McCall and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her sharply observed and ultimately redemptive memoir, Catherine McCall paints a vivid and sometimes heartbreaking portrait of growing up in a complicated Southern family, whose perfect façade hides crippling imperfections. There are two parents, three children, and five ghosts in the McCall family. With their preppie clothes and country-club smiles, the McCalls look like all the other East End Louisville families. No one knows there are problems, that an internal gash the size of the Ohio river is flooding the family. All Cathy and her siblings can do is promise to stick together no matter what—and swim. But even though they are fast, the McCall kids can’t outdistance their father’s destructive habits and their mother’s worry. As her family reaches a breaking point and an unexpected love blooms, thirteen-year-old Cathy finds she must keep secrets of her own. Though the love in this family is strong, Cathy must discover if it’s tenacious enough to withstand the truth. Candid, captivating, and infused with compassion, Lifeguarding affirms the flexible strength of love itself; how family bonds must often bend to the point of breaking . . . and beyond.

Download or read book Louis Froelich written by John W. McAden and published by Slapdash Pub.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many of us are familiar with the "CSA" knucklebow cast swords, there has been little information regarding their origin or the fact that the company that made them was responsible for the manufacture of other types of weapons, accoutrements, and buttons. Chris E. Fonvielle, Jr., brings us the history of these objects and a good look at businessman Louis Froelich who was responsible for their production during the Civil War. Added to this work are actual examples from the collection of John W. McAden, Jr., as well as material from public and private collections. This combination of writer and collector gives us a fascinating look at the work of one arms operation in North Carolina and its contributions to the Confederate armies. Louis Froelich emigrated from Bavaria in 1861 and settled in Wilmington, N.C. His first work was with the Wilmington Button Manufactory. Following its closing Froelich and a partner opened the Wilmington Sword Factory, later changed to the C.S.A. Arms Factory. This plant not only produced edged weapons, but also a variety of accoutrements and sunburst buttons which went to the field in large numbers. The book also has a section of miscellaneous edged weapons which are sometimes connected to Froelich, but without full documentation is included.

Book Synopsis The History and Present State of Virginia by : Robert Beverley
Download or read book The History and Present State of Virginia written by Robert Beverley and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in London in 1705, Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia, one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. Like his brother-in-law William Byrd II, Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite, personally ambitious and at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American--most famously claiming "I am an Indian--he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past, natural history, Indians, and current politics and society. In this new edition, Susan Scott Parrish situates Beverley and his History in the context of the metropolitan-provincial political and cultural issues of his day and explores the many contradictions embedded in his narrative. Parrish's introduction and the accompanying annotation, along with a fresh transcription of the 1705 publication and a more comprehensive comparison of emendations in the 1722 edition, will open Beverley's History to new, twenty-first-century readings by students of transatlantic history, colonialism, natural science, literature, and ethnohistory.
