Morgan's Curse

By: Joseph Pusch

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

My ghost will always protect this land. I curse your beloved city and all the people who witness my death. I will guard this place and reap death upon anyone who disturbs my spirit. Do not try-' And so began the mysterious curse issued by New York's finest firefighter turned inventor and landowner. It was 1935, and Morgan, who lost his parents in a devastating building fire as a young boy, recently patented a snazzy new machine that would draw out the oxygen from the fire, depleting the primary fuel source. By eliminating the oxygen, the fire would die, saving both lives and buildings. But one cold night, a homeless woman and her young daughter started a small fire in empty oil drum to keep warm in a building on Morgan's land. The fire caught, and though Morgan had arrived on the scene and started his Fire Eating Machine, it was too late. The building went up in flames, and the last sound onlookers heard were the screams of a dying girl. The onlookers quickly became a mob, blaming Morgan for the girl's death and demanding he hang. The ominous curse contained his last words. Some seventy years later, contractor William Swanson purchased the very same land Morgan had cursed to build luxury condos, dismissing the curse as silly superstition. But when strange things start happening, including the deaths of two construction workers and unexplained fires, suspicions arise that Morgan's Curse might just be more than folklore. Will Swanson and the New York police and fire departments be able to find the truth behind the curse, or will Swanson have to abandon his plans? Joseph Pusch lives in Oktaha, Oklahoma, with his wife. He is the author of Jeremy and the Storm Witch.

Terrorism on American Soil

A Concise History of Plots and Perpetrators from the Famous to the Forgotten

By: Joseph T. McCann

From the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to 9/11 and beyond, this riveting case study examines the history of American terror attacks. To many Americans, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, seemed to usher in a new era in which we faced a new kind of threat. But in truth, terrorist attacks had always been a part of American life. This book chronicles thirty-seven such assaults on American soil from the end of the Civil War into the twenty-first century. Author Joseph T. McCann covers the most infamous attacks as well as obscure yet important events. Using a narrative case-study format, Terrorism on American Soil provides detailed accounts of the perpetrators, their motives, and the social and political context in which the events took place. Taken together, these accounts reveal important lessons about the changing nature of terrorism in America; our evolving methods for coping with it; and the psychological, political, and legal principles that help us understand it.

The American Counties

Origins of County Names, Dates of Creation, Area, and Population Data, 1950-2010

By: Charles Curry Aiken,Joseph Nathan Kane

Most Americans give little thought to their county's size, population, when it was created, or how its name came about. But such information can be very helpful to anyone, particularly researchers and genealogists, investigating local or state history. Drawing on information obtained from the 2010 Census, the 6th edition of The American Counties provides up-to-date data on each county's: -land area -population -county seat -date of creation -name origin -dates of governmental organization, elimination, and re-creation This edition includes information on counties created since the previous edition was published as well as more precise "date of creation" details for many colonial counties. If a county is named for a geographical feature--river, mountain, lake, etc.--the origin of the name and the meaning of any Indian or foreign words is provided. For those counties that were named after a specific individual, a brief sketch of the person's life is provided, including updated biographical information from previous editions. The Introduction has been expanded to address such topics as counties with similar names, persons who have more than one namesake county, the paucity of counties named for women, the practice of creating counties in uninhabited regions, and legislators naming counties for each other. At the request of many readers, the 6th edition contains new appendices ranking all counties nationally by population and area, as well as an appendix listing counties that have been eliminated. Containing information on all 3,143 counties and county equivalents (independent cities, parishes, boroughs, etc.) in the United States, the 6th edition of The American Counties is an essential resource for researchers looking for basic information on counties in the United States.

Unequal Giants

Diplomatic Relations between the United States and Brazil, 1889-1930

By: Joseph Smith

In 1889 the Brazilian empire was overthrown in a military coup. The goodwill and assistance of the United States to the young republic of Brazil helped forge an alliance. But America's apparently irresistible political and economic advances into Brazil were also hampered by disagreements-over naval armaments, reciprocity arrangements, the issue of coffee valorization, and in the 1920s over Brazil's efforts to play an active role in the League of Nations at Geneva. The relationship proved to be unequal, with the United States gaining influence in Latin America, as the Brazilian elite's ambitions and vanities were fed.

Encyclopedia of the Kennedys [3 volumes]

The People and Events That Shaped America [3 volumes]

By: Joseph M. Siracusa

An expansive reference that overviews John F. Kennedy's presidency, covering the people, places, and events that comprised the political landscape of the Kennedy era. The Kennedy family has played a leading role in the annals of American politics for over 100 years, no greater than when John F. Kennedy (JFK) became the 35th president of the United States. The celebrity surrounding the circumstances of his presidency, particularly his sudden assassination, made JFK the object of many enduring myths: that he might have been one of the country's greatest leaders had he lived, that he would have kept the United States out of Vietnam, and that he was a martyr to right-wing assassins. Encyclopedia of the Kennedys: The People and Events That Shaped America is a three-volume reference set that provides an in-depth look at JFK's presidency, including his foreign and domestic policies, political allies and enemies, and major events and speeches. This A–Z encyclopedia also contains entries on the events of the 1960s that changed our nation forever, such as JFK's assassination and the Warren Commission report, the space program, and the My Lai Massacre, as well as the individuals who defined the time, such as writers Norman Mailer and James Baldwin, folk musicians Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, and activists Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King, Jr. Appendices provide a substantial archive of primary documents and identify officeholders during JFK's presidency, while an annotated bibliography supplies sources for additional research.
