Murphy

Murphy

By: Donna Brumit Jenkins

With a 470-percent population spike during the last decade, Murphy, Texas, is the fastest-growing city in Collin County. Citizens are still drawn to the area just as the pioneers were. Murphy, first known as Maxwell and then Decatur, was once part of the Peters Colony empresario grant issued by the Republic of Texas in 1841. Carved out of the Blackland Prairie Region, the soil was rich and black, rainfall was abundant, the temperature was moderate, and the land was carpeted with tall grasses. Native trees, wild fruit, honey, game, fish, and wild turkey were plentiful. Trees were cut for homes, and prairie soils were plowed for crops. The arrival of the railroad in 1888 made it more convenient for farmers to transport crops and for local shopkeepers to operate their businesses, which left a lasting legacy in the community.

An Eccentric Engagement

By: Donna Lea Simpson

From the author of A Lady’s Choice comes a Regency romance celebrating the witty and romantic world that fans of Georgette Heyer have fallen in love with. “Simpson excels at imbuing her realistic characters with subtle depths!” —John Charles, American Library Association Sorrow Marchand has patiently endured the taunts of London society for her bold speech and curious ways, yet it was those very qualities of the sparkling young beauty that caught the eye of the Honorable Bertram Carlyle and ultimately elicited an offer of marriage from him. But the usually candid Sorrow has kept her ludicrously madcap family a well-hidden secret from her betrothed—and now he is coming to visit! Bertram was an exceedingly suitable suitor, but for all his many fine traits he had been harshly schooled under the oppressive thumb of his father and had meekly embraced many of the man’s conventional attitudes. Upon meeting Sorrow’s family and becoming swept up in the endless swirl of silly chaos, he senses a conflict of epic proportions on the horizon—both within himself and with his father. As Sorrow grows more concerned that her outrageous relatives will damn her only chance at happiness with a man she truly loves, Bertram must find the courage to defy his very traditional father and become part of a family that’s anything but—and become the man Sorrow always knew he could be. This novella was originally published as “Sorrow’s Wedding” in the anthology With This Ring.

Concord Sage

Ralph Waldo Emerson Life and Times

By: Donna A. Ford

Concord Sage Who was Ralph Waldo Emerson? What made him famousa celebrity in his own town, country, and beyond? And why is Emerson still quoted today? An average student and shy young man, Emerson found his calling at the age of thirty. His gifts for writing and lecturing drew New Englands brightest thinkers into his literary circle that became known as the Transcendental Club. Emersons moderate style was the guiding factor that kept American culture from extremesNew England religious formalism or European radical ideas. Family ties to the Revolutionary War prompted Emerson to write words for freedom heard round the world. Visitors to Concord, Massachusetts, tour his home, Bush, and the restored North Bridge, where on April 19, 1775, Emersons grandparents and father watched from the Church Manse as American history was made and where the following poem by Emerson is now etched in stone. Concord Hymn By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to Aprils breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. Shaped by early New England values, Ralph Waldo Emersons thinking helped shape America in the nineteenth century. Here is the story of the Concord Sage.

New Hampshire's Connecticut Lakes Region

By: Donna Jordan

The Connecticut Lakes region is the last great frontier of the North Country. Forming the extreme northern tip of the state, it offers the only port of entry from Canada into New Hampshire.

Its fascinating history glistens in the two-hundred-plus images of New Hampshire's Connecticut Lakes Region. Pictured are rich logging lands, a mecca for sportsmen for more than a hundred years, and waterfront camps, cabins, and lodges. From 1832 to 1836, Pittsburg was known as the Indian Stream Republic, maintaining independence from both the United States and Canada.
