Historic
Glace Bay 10.00
Carole MacDonald
Halifax: Nimbus Publishing, 2009
(from the back cover) From the moment French explorer Nicolas Denys noted
the abundance of coal in the cliffs near Glace Bay, the town's history has
been dominated by its coal mines. Immigrants arrived from all over the world
to work Glace Bay's mines, and for a time the community was one of Canada's
largest.
But Glace Bay's rise to prominence was not without struggle. The town
grew too quickly, and the coal company's drive to increase profits meant
repeated labour battles throughout the twentieth century. In the end,
though, the miners won improved working conditions, and in the form of a
check-off system, the beginnings of universal health care.
Through over one hundred historical photographs of the town's defining
people, places, and events, author Carole MacDonald traces the development
of the first mines, describes the labour movement that followed, and
profiles the townspeople—such as novelist Hugh MacLennan and labour leader
J. B. McLachlan—that made Glace Bay's citizens proud. Historic Glace Bay
presents a proud community with a unique history.
Carole MacDonald was born and brought up in Glace Bay. She earned
degrees in education and English from Mount Saint Vincent University, and
later, a degree in journalism from the University of King's College. She
worked for a number of years with the Nova Scotia provincial government.
Carole lives in Halifax.

The
Deer Creek Site, Oklahoma: $10.00
A Wichita Village Sometimes Called Ferdinandina, an Ethnohistorian's View
Mildred Mott Wedel
Oklahoma Historical Society, Series in Anthropology, Number 5 1981
(from the forward)
…The Deer Creek archeological site in Kay County has held special
fascination. Not only was it thought to be an Indian village occupied in the
last century, and possibly before, by the Wichita Indians, but it also grew
to be known as Ferdinandina or Fernandina, an eighteenth century French
trading post. It was even said to be the earliest white settlement in the
state.
Archeological investigations in the 1920s under the aegis of Joseph B.
Thoburn revealed the fact of Indian occupation and the presence of European
trade items. Later studies, discussed in this text, have substantiated the
importance of the site.
Mildred Mott Wedel has brought her distinguished scholarly abilities to
bear upon the many questions that have arisen concerning the site. Under a
grant from the United States Army Corps of Engineers, she has pursued
research in various national and foreign archives. Through the methodology
of ethno history she has developed a description of the chronology of
certain pertinent events and the activities of individuals who were involved
in the Wichita and French relationship of the time. Her conclusions will be
of great assistance to future archeologists who will probe this important
site to discover that which documents can forecast may be present but cannot
completely reveal….

The Journal
and Letters of Phillip Vickers Fithian 1773 1774: A Plantation Tutor of the
Old Dominion $15.00
Edited
with an introduction by Hunter Dickinson Farish
Colonial Williamsburg, 1965 New Edition.
(from the page flaps) THE original edition of this work was published in
1900 by the Princeton Historical Association. A second edition was published
by Colonial Williamsburg in 1943. The timeless appeal of this charming
chronicle of eighteenth-century life in colonial Virginia now makes possible
this new edition which combines the scholarship of Mr. Farish with the
fresh, new illustrations of Mr. Kredel.
Philip Vickers Fithian, age twenty-three, left his home in Cohansie,
New Jersey, in 1770 to enter the College of New Jersey at Princeton. A year
after his graduation in 1772, Fithian was recommended by Dr. John
Witherspoon, president of the college, for the position of tutor at "Nomini
Hall," the plantation of Councilor Robert Carter in Westmoreland County,
Virginia. Fithian spent a year with the Carters and kept a daily record of
their varied activities.
Fithian developed a genuine affection for the members of this wealthy
and influential Virginia family and paints a delightful picture of the
everyday life of its members. No phase of plantation activity escapes the
attention of this young student for the ministry. In his journal and letters
he brings to life in vivid colors the sparkling parties and balls, the fish
feasts and barbecues, dancing classes, horse races, cockfights, and social
customs of the day.
The young Princeton scholar had entrusted to his care seven Carter
children and Carter's nephew, Harry Willis. Devoted to his duties and to his
charges, in his intimate comments Fithian brings each to life again. Fithian
left the Carter home with regret late in 1774 to answer his call to the
Presbyterian ministry and to return to his beloved "Laura," leaving strong
ties of friendship and gratitude binding him to the gracious family that had
taken him to their hearts.

Welcome to Stow, a picturesque New England village
preparing to face the new millennium while keeping its roots firmly planted
in 300 years of history. Primarily a farming community for much of its
existence, Stow’s country-like character is still evident in its open
spaces, most of which are now apple orchards, golf courses, and conservation
lands.
Within these pages, you will discover the classic charm
of Stow’s village center, with its pristine white church, town hall,
library, and its one and only traffic light. Take a leisurely stroll past
row upon row of apple trees, and learn how early settlers utilized the power
of the area’s small brooks and rivers. Here golfers enjoy the relaxation
of
four beautifully kept golf courses and nature lovers spend hours exploring
Stow’s many hiking trails.
Author Bio: Compiled by Lewis Halprin and Barbara
Sipler on behalf of the Stow Historical Society, this collection brings to
life over a century of memories to share with future generations. The magic
passport for transportation into Stow’s unique past is right here in your
hand. to operate, just grab a comfortable chair, prop up your feet, open

(from the back cover) Did you ever wonder as to the
reason for the paucity of births in early vital records? A hint of scandal
or embarrassment associated with a birth may have made an ancestor reluctant
to document it in a public record. This work is a compilation of Fornication
and Maintenance of (Illegitimate) Child suits brought to the Windham County,
CT, County Court from 1728 to 1847. All the towns of early Windham County
are represented, plus towns in Tolland, Hartford, Middlesex, and New London
Counties in CT; Dudley, Worcester Co., MA; Warwick, Providence Co., RI, and
others. File records from the Archives were searched and any additional
information was included. There are over three hundred cases in this book,
each representing a birth which was most likely not recorded in the vital
records. Previously unpublished marriage dates, names of alleged fathers,
some maiden names, and even the names of midwives are revealed. Some file
documents such as depositions were copied verbatim and both litigants
(married and maiden names) and witnesses are indexed.
