Murder & Mayhem in Mendon and Honeoye Falls

"Murderville" in Victorian New York

By: Diane Ham,Lynne Menz

The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality. The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name “Murderville.” As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region’s vicious history. Includes photos!

Getting Away With Murder

A Confession

By: Betty Lynne Hull

Everyone thought I was upstairs asleep. But I wasn't. I saw and heard everything that happened the terrible night my mother was brutally murdered. I heard what he snarled as he pushed her face into the sidewalk with his foot between her shoulders. I saw him yank her head back by her beautiful blonde hair and slit her throat before she could scream for help. I will hear her soft, helpless gurgle until the day I die. For all these years, I have been afraid to say anything. If he could kill her like that, he could kill me without a second thought. My silence was my only safety. I was only nine years old, and my Mom was my best friend. She told me once, "He'll kill me someday, and being him, the All-American hero, he'll get away with it." And, unbelievably, he did. He got away with murder. But I'm not afraid anymore. I've waited this long, endless time. I have a plan and I've honed it to perfection. Everything is ready. I'm going to send my Father to hell for butchering my Mother, and no one will ever know. I, too, will get away with murder.

Catfish Alley

By: Lynne Bryant

A moving debut novel about female friendship, endurance, and hope in the South. Roxanne Reeves defines her life by the committees she heads and the social status she cultivates. But she is keeping secrets that make her an outsider in her own town, always in search of acceptance. And when she is given a job none of the other white women want-researching the town's African-American history for a tour of local sites-she feels she can't say no. Elderly Grace Clark, a retired black schoolteacher, reluctantly agrees to become Roxanne's guide. Grace takes Roxanne to Catfish Alley, whose undistinguished structures are nonetheless sacred places to the black community because of what happened there. As Roxanne listens to Grace's stories, and meets her friends, she begins to see differently. She is transported back to the past, especially to 1931, when a racist's hatred for Grace's brother leads to events that continue to change lives decades later. And as Roxanne gains an appreciation of the dreams, courage, and endurance of those she had so easily dismissed, her own life opens up in new and unexpected ways.

The Falstaff Vampire Files

By: Lynne Murray

Psychologist Kris Marlowe doesn't believe in vampires, until a silver-tongued rogue rises out of a coffin at dusk, introduces himself as Sir John Falstaff, and hypnotizes her into letting him taste her blood. Kris's best friend Vi, who writes vampire romances, jumps at the chance to interview a real vampire. Fellow psychologist and paranormal cult expert Bram von Helsing also would love to meet an actual vampire. Kris remains skeptical, thinking she's just encountered one of San Francisco's many sanity-challenged individuals. Then in an attack of spine-tingling horror a horde of murderous monsters descend on the San Francisco neighborhood. Faced with creatures that kill with a single glance, Kris and everyone she cares about must fight for their lives. But how? In this dark fantasy with urban paranormal attitude, the only chance of survival for Kris and her friends is to seek help from the biggest bad boy in tavern-haunting history, who once drank ale and now drinks only blood—Sir John Falstaff, undead and misbehaving in San Francisco.

Abolitionists, Doctors, Ranchers, and Writers

A Family Journey through American History

By: Lynne Marie Getz

Nearly 250 years after ninety-five-year-old Elder Thomas Faunce got caught up in the mythmaking around Plymouth Rock, his great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter Hilda Faunce Wetherill died in Pacific Grove, California, leaving behind a cache of letters and family papers. The remarkable story they told prompted historian Lynne Marie Getz to search out related collections and archives—and from these to assemble a family chronology documenting three generations of American life. Abolitionists, Doctors, Ranchers, and Writers tells of zealous abolitionists and free-state campaigners aiding and abetting John Brown in Bleeding Kansas; of a Civil War soldier serving as a provost marshal in an occupied Arkansas town; of young women who became doctors in rural Texas and New York City in the late nineteenth century; of a homesteader and businessman among settler colonists in Colorado; and of sisters who married into the Wetherill family—known for their discovery of Ancient Pueblo sites at Mesa Verde and elsewhere—who catered to a taste for Western myths with a trading post on a Navajo reservation and a guest ranch for tourists on the upper Rio Grande. Whether they tell of dabbling in antebellum reforms like spiritualism, vegetarianism, and water cures; building schools for free blacks in Ohio or championing Indian rights in the West; serving in the US Army or confronting the struggles of early women doctors and educators, these letters reveal the sweep of American history on an intimate scale, as it was lived and felt and described by individuals; their family story reflects the richness and complexity of the genealogy of the nation.

Mandela, Mobutu, and Me

A Newswoman's African Journey

By: Lynne Duke

In this stunning memoir, veteran Washington Post correspondent Lynne Duke takes readers on a wrenching but riveting journey through Africa during the pivotal 1990s and brilliantly illuminates a continent where hope and humanity thrive amid unimaginable depredation and horrors. For four years as her newspaper's Johannesburg bureau chief, Lynne Duke cut a rare figure as a black American woman foreign correspondent as she raced from story to story in numerous countries of central and southern Africa. From the battle zones of Congo-Zaire to the quest for truth and reconciliation in South Africa; from the teeming displaced person’s camps of Angola and the killing field of the Rwanda genocide to the calming Indian Ocean shores of Mozambique. She interviewed heads of state, captains of industry, activists, tribal leaders, medicine men and women, mercenaries, rebels, refugees, and ordinary, hardworking people. And it is they, the ordinary people of Africa, who fueled the hope and affection that drove Duke’s reporting. The nobility of the ordinary African struggles, so often absent from accounts of the continent, is at the heart of Duke’s searing story. MANDELA, MOBUTU, AND ME is a richly detailed, clear-eyed account of the hard realities Duke discovered, including the devastation wrought by ruthless, rapacious dictators like Mobutu Sese Seko and his successor, Laurent Kabila, in the Congo, and appalling indifference of Europeans and Americans to the legacy of their own exploitation of the continent and its people. But Duke also records with admiration the visionary leadership and personal style of Nelson Mandela in south Africa as he led his country’s inspiring transition from apartheid in the twilight of his incredible life. Whether it was touring underground gold and copper mines, learning to carry water on her head, filing stories by flashlight or dodging gunmen, Duke’s tour of Africa reveals not only the spirit and travails of an amazing but troubled continent -- it also explores the heart and fearlessness of a dedicated journalist.

Sorry for the Inconvenience But This Is an Emergency

The Nonviolent Struggle for Our Planet’s Future

By: Lynne Jones

As floods and fires rage across the planet, ever more people are embracing nonviolent action to achieve political change. Can it work? Doctor and aid worker Lynne Jones offers a compelling, ground-level account of the last five years of UK protests, exploring how and why ordinary citizens have adopted extraordinary methods to confront the climate and nature crises. Sharing her 1980s experiences opposing nuclear weapons at Greenham Common, and her journey in movements like Extinction Rebellion today, Jones reflects on public history and her personal story to unpack nonviolent protest in a world on the brink. Can we learn from past movements? How to communicate with those who disagree? What kind of disruption is most effective in Western democracies? Is property damage nonviolent? Is the law just? How important are direct interventions, boycotts and non-cooperation? What can indigenous campaigners of the Global South teach us? A lifetime of activism has taught Jones that we all have more power than we realise. It’s time to use that power—before it’s too late.

Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway

By: F. Lynne Bachleda

A unique journey through the heart of the Deep South, The Natchez Trace Parkway traverses 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi, across the mighty Tennessee River in northwestern Alabama, to its northern terminus just shy of Nashville, Tennessee. For travelers planning a visit or already on the way, Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway will help them discover all that the historic byway has to offer. From milepost to milepost, discover an ancient trail blazed hundreds of years ago by Native Americans that, in the early nineteenth century, became a trekking road for river boaters, who had sold their goods and vessels and were now headed back to central Tennessee and beyond. Visitors can drive the entire length, sampling the hundreds of scenic areas, restaurants, inns, exhibits, recreation areas, and other sites along the way. Motorcyclists will want to cruise the entire length as well, but will especially savor the hundreds of miles of meandering road between Natchez and Tupelo. For an even more intimate experience, Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway shows where to hike on over 60 miles of National Scenic Trail, where to camp, and gives tips on bicycling the parkway's scenic length. Whether exploring a few miles or a few hundred miles, visitors will enjoy it most with the Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway.

The Girl with the Butterfly Hands

By: Lynne Williams

Chin Yu was born in a London slum to a Chinese man and a British woman. When Chin was seven the family moved to her father's village in China but he died soon after they arrived. Her mother took the children to live in Hong Kong where, a few years later, she remarried. A few months after Britain had joined World War II, all British women and children were ordered to be evacuated to Australia. However, Chin and her brother were excluded because of the White Australia Policy, so they returned to Hong Kong. Eighteen months later the Japanese invaded and Chin's family were interned in a camp. Although there was great deprivation, Chin fell in love – with a Roman Catholic priest; he was released from the camp to continue his missionary work. A few months later, she and her brother were also released as part of an exchange of American and Japanese civilian prisoners of war. After a long sea journey, they arrived at New York but found themselves suspected of being Japanese spies and were detained on Ellis Island until the employers of their uncle in Oregon agreed to sponsor them. After a few months there they moved to San Francisco where Chin worked in the propaganda section of the British consulate and she met her first husband, Dick Ellison, who converted her into a passionate socialist. They moved to New York where they were befriended by many radical activists in Greenwich Village. Chin studied ballet and got a part in the original production of "South Pacific" on Broadway. Later, she was a dancer in the London production of "Kiss me Kate". After six months Dick came to London wanting a divorce. Many friends helped her get over him and had started having an affair with another actor when she was cast as an understudy in the UK production of "South Pacific". Her opposite number was David Williams, an Australian who was married with a daughter. But they fell in love and had an intense relationship for the duration of "South Pacific" both in London and during its British tour – 3 years in toto – until David was divorced. Chin left the tour early to play in "Teahouse of the August Moon" in London. David and she married in 1954 and in 1956 a son and daughter (twins) were born. Chin had minor roles in various films, TV plays and even a (non-singing) role in an opera but she was best known for her performance of "hand-mime" – beautiful hand gestures choreographed to accompany lyrics that David sang in their cabaret act._x000D_The family moved to Beckenham, Kent, which is just outside London. Lynne (the author) lived with them and Chin found her to be a difficult child. In 1960 Chin was in the successful play "A Majority of One" in London, David was managing a theatre nearby in Croydon. All seemed perfect until they heard that David's father was very ill. They decided to move to Australia. Unfortunately, they were too late to see David's father alive, but all his family welcomed Chin very warmly. The last chapter summarises Chin's life (another fifty years) in Sydney. She was a very supportive wife, a loving and generous mother and stepmother and later, a devoted grandmother. Although she never regained the celebrity she had enjoyed in London, she still played a significant role in the Australian entertainment industry.

Where River Meets Sea

Exploring Australia's Estuaries

By: Lynne Turner,Dieter Tracey,Jan Tilden,William C. Dennison

Estuaries are dynamic coastal waterways where salt and fresh water mix. Where River Meets Sea describes the value and status of Australia's 974 estuaries and takes readers on a state-by-state tour describing the health, geography, science, management and ecological functions of these unique coastal waterways. It includes profiles of people and their relationships with estuaries. The book's many photographs, maps, case studies and diagrams will help Australians to better understand, appreciate and wisely use these natural areas. Chapters on natural history, coastal science and management give an understanding of our vast network of pristine and heavily modified estuaries – from isolated tide-dominated estuaries in Australia's tropical north to those shaped by waves in southern, temperate waters. Other chapters show how people use and value coastal catchments and waterways, the impacts of human development on natural ecosystems, and how estuaries can be better managed in future. Where River Meets Sea aims to provide Australians with a deeper appreciation of our coastal waterways that are both vital for our economy and precious to our quality of life. This is a re-issued version of the original work published by the CRC for Coastal Zone Estuary and Waterway Management in 2004,

Spuzzum

Fraser Canyon Histories, 1808-1939

By: Andrea Lynne Laforet,Annie York

Living along the banks of the Fraser River in southwestern British Columbia, the Nlaka’pamux people of Spuzzum have ahd a long history of contact with non-Aboriginal peoples. In 1808 they hosted Simon Fraser as an overnight guest. Later they watched as fur traders searched for transport routes through the mountains of the Fraser Canyon, and saw miners, settlers, and merchants flood into their country during and after the gold rush. Since then, the Nlaka’pamux have found themselves in the path of the Cariboo Road, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and virtually every other commercial and province-building initiative undertaken in the region. Spuzzum is about the response of an Aboriginal community to events beginning with Simon Fraser’s visit in 1808 and ending with the Second World War. Based on a long collaboration between ethnologist Andrea Laforet and the late Annie York, a Nlaka’pamux resident of Spuzzum, this book gives voice and shape to the people who created, and re-created, the life of this community during this time. Encounters between Spuzzum people and Europeans are explored through narratives, personal memories, and family albums of Spuzzum people, as well as through missionaries’ journals, explorers’ accounts, and other archival records. In the final chapter Andrea Laforet examines both Nlaka’pamux and European ways of knowing the past in the context of current literature from anthropology, history, and ethnohistory. In the wake of the decisions in the Delgamuukw case, the construction and interpretation of the past in both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal societies has become an issue of vital importance. In examining the history of the community in this light, Spuzzum makes a significant original contribution to the study of First Nations history and ethnohistory.

Beyond Words

Movement Observation and Analysis

By: Carol-Lynne Moore,Kaoru Yamamoto

Beyond Words presents a range of illuminating approaches to examining every day social interactions, to help the reader understand human movement in new ways. Carol-Lynne Moore and Kaoru Yamamoto build on the principles that they expertly explored in the first edition of the book, maintaining a focus on the processes of movement as opposed to discussions of static body language. The authors combine textual discussion with a new set of website-hosted video instructions to ensure that readers develop an in-depth understanding of nonverbal communication, as well as the work of its most influential analyst, Rudolf Laban. This fully-revised, extensively illustrated second edition includes a new introduction by the authors. It presents a fascinating insight into this vital field of study, and will be an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners in many activities, from performing and martial arts, athletics, to therapeutic and spiritual practices, conflict resolution, business interactions, and intercultural relations.
