From the Mountains to the Prairies

By: George Holloway

This historical book, based on real events and persons, follows the tumultuous journey of one family--that of John and Elizabeth Holloway--from colonial South Carolina to North Carolina and then to the Natchez District governed by Spain before, during, and after the American Revolution. From the extensive research done by the author and other ancestors of this family, including original documents preserved at the state archives of four different state capitals, many plausible explanations for mysteries surrounding this family and others involved, including some infamous characters, are uncovered. Also included are relevant events and methods used in the decades-long search for this family's story by their ancestors.

In the Name of Belief

By: George M. Watson Jr.

In 1672 Thaddeus and Elisabeth Haskins, a young couple, from Cape Cod, Massachusetts journeyed to Falmouth, Maine, hoping to establish a new life. In three years they became successful farmers producing abundant crops and managing a growing cattle herd until barely escaping with their two children from an Indian attack during King Philip's War. The Haskinses lost everything and limped back to their Cape roots, remaining there until their parents passed. With the proceeds of their families' estates the couple moved to Salem, Massachusetts, purchased and operated an inn, tavern, and several farms. They planned to acquire capital and return to their Falmouth lands. Thaddeus hired Almerk, a talented multibreed Indian, who became his right-hand man and later married his daughter. At Salem, Elisabeth was accused of witchcraft and died in prison awaiting trial. This enraged Thaddeus and enhanced his already intense loathing of the Puritan hierarchy and their religious beliefs. He passed his views on religion and the clergy to his progeny. Overtime the family became wealthy and prominent, if not dominant in Falmouth society. They acquired a fishing fleet, merchant vessels and an abundance of farm and forest lands. In short, they became colonial aristocrats. Their descendants participated in wars against the Indians and the French, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American War and both world wars of the 20th century. The Haskins family became renowned for charity, assisting new settlers in surviving the extremes of the Maine winters. On many occasions their financial assistance helped Falmouth, later Portland endure hard times. In the 19th century the Haskins became international traders and bankers shifting some of their operations to New York, Canada and London while retaining their Portland mansion and position in the city's society. The family did not acquire all of its wealth legally. Critics considered their cooperation with the British during the Revolutionary War to be treason; and their later liquor smuggling flouted the law even as it added to the family fortune. The novel follows the Haskins family's adventurous march through three hundred years of war and peace ending with World War II and the final disposition of the Haskinses' Portland homestead and the dispersal of family members throughout the country and abroad. This is an account of a family's survival, and attainment of great wealth and influence, achieved largely through hard work and wise decisions. Throughout their history the Haskins preserved their skepticism of established religion.

Called to Forgive

The Charleston Church Shooting, a Victim's Husband, and the Path to Healing and Peace

By: Anthony B. Thompson,Denise George

While the murder of his wife devastated Anthony Thompson, he and three other relatives of victims chose to privately and publicly forgive the shooter. Years later, the church and community still struggle to understand the family members' deliberate choice to forgive the racist murderer. But as Charlestonians have witnessed these incredible acts of forgiveness, something significant has happened to the community--black and white leaders and residents have united, coming together peaceably and even showing acts of selfless love. This book is the account of Anthony's wife's murder, the grief he experienced, and how and why he made the radical choice to forgive the killer. But beyond that, Anthony goes on to teach what forgiveness can and should look like in each of our lives--both personally, in our communities, and even in our nation. After much pain, reflection, and study, Thompson shares how true biblical love and mercy differ from the way these ideas are reflected in our culture. Be inspired by this remarkable story and discover how the difficult decision to forgive can become the key to radical change.

The End of the World

By: Ezekiel George Love

The End of the World is about the end. It tells and develops a trail of two children growing up before and after the Civil war. The struggle, agony, death, and non-sensitivity which they experienced as children shook the lives of the entire Beaver Creek, South Carolina community. One of the children lived in a slave shack, and worked in the field. The other lived in the mansion and performed work for the slave master. However, they realized that they both were slaves. Through these experiences, the meaning of “the end of the world” enters their thoughts. These experiences, and the continued life and death ordeals puzzled little Anne and Raymond. Before you have completed the very first chapter, your mind will never be the same. This book touches the inner feelings of all mankind. It ignites that strong feeling of not giving up, and having faith through courage. So, seek, think, judge, and ponder, The End of the World. To all mankind remains a substance out front in the wild blue yonder.

Bach, the Mass in B Minor

The Great Catholic Mass

By: George B. Stauffer

In this book George B. Stauffer explores the music and complex history of Bach's last and possibly greatest masterpiece. Stauffer examines the B-Minor Mass in greater detail than ever before, demonstrating for the first time Bach's reliance on contemporary models from the Dresden Mass repertory and his brilliantly innovative methods of unifying his immense composition. Musicians, music scholars, students, and music lovers will find in this engagingly written book a wealth of information about Bach's extraordinary choral work. Stauffer surveys the roots of the Mass Ordinary text and its treatment in settings known to Bach. He looks at the events that led to the writing of the B-Minor Mass and places the work within the context of the composer's late style. In three deeply informed chapters, Stauffer considers the individual sections of the Mass--the Kyrie and Gloria, the Credo, and the Sanctus and Agnus Dei. The book also traces the history of the work after Bach's death, addresses specific issues of performance practice, and investigates the qualities that give the B-Minor Mass its universal appeal.
