"Death Seem'd to Stare"

The New Hampshire and Rhode Island Regiments at Valley Forge

By: Joseph Lee Boyle

Death Seem'd to Stare marks Joseph Lee Boyle's third book honoring the identities of the heroes of the six-month encampment at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. (Earlier volumes dealt with the New Jersey and Connecticut regiments at Valley Forge.) His latest volume examines the New Hampshire and Rhode Island contingents.Mr. Boyle's informative Introduction traces the service of the New Hampshire and Rhode Island regiments before and after they joined General Washington in November 1777. The New Hampshire units, for example, fought opposite portions of General Burgoyne's army at Hubbardton, Vermont; and, later, under General Benedict Arnold at the Battle of Freeman's Farm. For their part, the Rhode Island regiments participated in the American defeat of a Hessian assault on Fort Mercer, New Jersey, in October of the same year. The core of "Death Seem'd to Stare" consists of an alphabetical list in excess of 2,500 New Hampshire and Rhode Island soldiers abstracted from Revolutionary War muster and payrolls. Each patriot is identified by name, rank, date, and term of enlistment or commission, names of regiment and company, and a variety of supporting details, such as date of furlough or discharge, when wounded, when and where promoted, etc.

In Plain Sight

The Startling Truth behind the Elizabeth Smart Investigation

By: Tom Smart,Lee Benson

This riveting inside story of the intense search for the Salt Lake City teenager reveals never-before-told details of the largest investigation in Utah state history. The firsthand account of Tom Smart, Elizabeth's uncle and one-time suspect, reveals the details of the flawed police investigation, the media's manipulation of the family, and the eyewitness account of nine-year-old Mary Katherine Smart that went largely ignored by investigators. New research is presented on the family background of disturbed street preacher Brian David Mitchell, who kidnapped Elizabeth as part of a bizarre polygamous plot. Also examined is the critical role of the media, revealing the essential part played by John Walsh and others in facilitating Elizabeth's safe return, and the manipulative influence of Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. Going beyond a mere eyewitness account, the book includes information culled from interviews with more than 150 people involved in the search and investigation, notes from family meetings, and memos from law enforcement officials.

The Price of Nationhood

The American Revolution in Charles County

By: Jean Butenhoff Lee

The Price of Nationhood reshapes the story of the American Revolution, bending the familiar contours imprinted by the New England revolutionary experience. At the same time, Jean Lee's narrative rewards us with history at the ground level, rich with the smells of the earth and sea in eighteenth-century coastal Maryland.

Two Journeys to One Wondrous Life

By: Lee Klein

Author Lee Kleins longtime service in the US Navy took him from World War II as an enlisted man through the Korean and Vietnam eras as a commissioned officer. A gay man, he had to balance his top-secret military life with his loving one. In Two Journeys to One Wondrous Life, Klein shares the story of his life. The seventh of eight children, he was born in 1924 in Lincoln, Nebraska. During his military career, he served in naval bases from Alaska and the Aleutian Islands to the North and Baltic Seas, and he worked as a carrier pilot during the Cold War. Klein also worked in the restaurant business, opening his first restaurant in 1972, in Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California. His life of two journeys has been an incredible, wonder-filled, surprisingly serendipitous, and happy. And he hopes that by telling his life story, he can show the new generation what it was like to live through these restrictive times, when many careers were closed to gay men, and how it just gets better. This memoir shares the personal narrative of a gay man who is a veteran of a decades-long military career, recalling his experiences of a life well lived.
