To Save Her Dream

A Mission of Duty, Friendship, and Justice

By: Byron Carlyle Hall

Elizabeth C. "Nancy" Smith was a kind and generous woman who loved animals and who desired to protect the environment. She was a visionary who saw the need for preserving open space and rural values in an urbanizing society. She was a courageous defender of property rights who tried to protect her neighbors from injustice and to seek justice for property owners harmed in the development of Columbia, Maryland. For more than 30 years, she fought for her dream of preserving her farm. Arrayed against her were developers and state and county government officials. On Friday night, February 14, 1997, Nancy Smith finished reviewing documents that would preserve her farm for posterity, found them to be satisfactory and stated that she would sign them on Monday. On Saturday she suffered a fatal stroke, leaving the protective documents unsigned. Byron C. Hall, Jr., her friend for nearly 30 years whom she had designated as a trustee, took up her fight to preserve the farm. His mission of more than seven years: To save her dream.

Queen Victoria's Little Wars

By: Byron Farwell

From 1837 to 1901, in Asia, China, Canada, Africa, and elsewhere, military expedition were constantly being undertaken to protect resident Britons or British interests, to extend a frontier, to repel an attack, avenge an insult, or suppress a mutiny or rebellion. Continuous warfare became an accepted way of life in the Victorian era, and in the process the size of the British Empire quadrupled.But engrossing as these small wars are--and they bristle with bizarre, tragic, and often humorous incident--it is the officers and men who fought them that dominate this book. With their courage, foolhardiness, and eccentricities, they are an unforgettable lot.

Works IV

By: Baron George Gordon Byron

Byron is regarded as one of the greatest British poets, and remains widely read and influential. He travelled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy where he lived for seven years. Later in life, Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which many Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died in 1824 at the young age of 36 from a fever contracted while in Missolonghi. Often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantics, Byron was both celebrated and castigated in life for his aristocratic excesses, including huge debts, numerous love affairs – with men as well as women, as well as rumours of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister – and self-imposed exile.
