In 18th Century Salem, Massachusetts, the ambitious Derby and Crowninshield families vie for power amid a shifting social and political landscape.
After the heartbreaking loss of their first child, Mary Hodges Derby and her husband Captain Richard Derby are blessed with a healthy son named Richard who is soon followed by four brothers and three sisters. All but one of the Derby boys follow their father to sea to secure their fortunes from America's lucrative but treacherous trade routes to the West Indies and beyond.
When Captain Derby's oldest son comes of age, he decides to retire from the sea and establish a merchant house. Two of Richard's brothers follow him as captains of their own ships, but Captain Derby keeps his son Hasket ashore to manage the family's growing trade network.
George Crowninshield, the youngest of four brothers, sails for the Derby family enterprise and ultimately marries Hasket's sister Mary. Meanwhile, George's sister Eliza makes a match with Hasket Derby.
Though the two families are united by wedlock, rivalries, political turmoil, and questionable choices reveal the complex consequences of unchecked ambition, arrogance, and pride.
Set during a pivotal time in Salem's history when Americans broke their colonial ties with Great Britain, this gripping work of historical fiction explores the depth of human relationships through nuanced characters and vivid historical details. Recipes from the era bring the sights and flavors of 18th century Salem to life, while a glossary illuminates the context of the times.
If you enjoy books by John Jakes, you will enjoy reading about the Crowninshield and Derby families in 18thcentury Salem, Massachusetts. Perfect for fans of early American history and atmospheric fiction, this novel offers an intimate look at life in colonial New England.
Fishing with the basics: a rod, a reel, some line, and an artificial fly that imitates a fish's prey is the very definition of fly fishing. And its history is, well, historical tracing its way back to at least the year 200 Today's technology has no doubt improved the quality and durability of the equipment and materials of fly fishing, but the basics of the art of fly fishing have remained largely the same.
In 1924, Michael Temple wrote what for decades was the 'bible' on learning how to fly fish: First Steps in Fly Fishing. Now Cresting Wave Publishing has updated this classic for the 2020s. With an introduction by noted fly fishing expert and author Joshua Bergan, and additional material from Editor Kris Neely, First Steps in Fly Fishing is now the definitive book for your budding fly fisher.
It was Ella's first day of internship at the Asylum. It wasn't what she had hoped for, but she went in with her mind made up that she would make the most of it. Soon, she found herself intrigued by a patient in the asylum, Lebannon. He was a middle-aged man who just didn't seem to fit the bill of a patient in a psychiatric establishment. He was handsome, well-spoken, charming, and all in all seemed to be fully in his right mind. Before she knew it, she was enthralled with him. Even more so, she was captured with the story behind what ended him up at Henry Ellin Asylum.
Before she knew it, Ella was invested in Lebannon's recollection of his work with his previous employer, a large company that partook in work so stressful they had a lone elevator on the east side of the building known in the company as the Suicide Elevator.
A company allowing employees to commit suicide if they found themselves too stressed by the work? Could this be true? Was the conspiracy to discard Lebannon because of his inside knowledge real? Or was there something much darker at play?
Ella would soon learn more than she bargained for with her last minute internship assignment. The truth will be much more than she could have ever imagined.
Seventh century England is a hodgepodge of warring Anglo-Saxon states filled with shifting alliances and treacherous grabs for royal power. Kings rise and fall, depending on Woden's Luck. Northumbria, the damp kingdom north of the River Humber, is a state riven with rivalries and kings determined to expand at any cost.
Women have no obvious role in a warrior society, but by using their wits, four women-two queens and two abbesses-make monumental changes. One woman marries a pagan king and successfully converts him to Christianity before he dies in battle. One becomes the most powerful abbess in Northumbria and holds the Great Synod at Whitby Abbey, which brings the kingdom back to the Roman Church. Another becomes queen and keeps political alliances strong despite different religious denominations. The fourth woman ushers in a new age by negotiating with kings and churchmen to establish one united church in the Northumbrian kingdom.
Based on true events and people, this is the story of Northumbria through the eyes of the most important women of their time.
We live in a time when many are in bondage before they are aware that there is a war. As with many examples in world history, one cannot get out of bondage with just will power and thought control. Warriors must be trained, and then trained some more, in the classroom and on the field. They must learn, that in order to escape the bondage they find themselves in, as did warriors thousands of years before: Like Dragons Did They Fight
