Pioneers built homesteads in the Fox River Valley between 1830 and 1850. They were attracted to the area that would become Cary and Fox River Grove by the beautiful scenery, abundance of clear water, and opportunity for waterpower provided by the river. The Fox River was the principle highway for Native Americans and these early settlers. It later attracted many residents of Chicago who spent their summers vacationing along its banks. The river provides outdoor recreational opportunities and is today the busiest waterway in the Midwest. The pages in this book bring to life the people, places, and historic communities--Fox River Grove to the south and Cary to the north, as well as Oakwood Hills and Trout Valley--along the Fox River.

White Water Bar & Grill

A Novel of Emancipation

By: Shirley Linkhart

In 1962, after fleeing her charming, adulterous husband, Suzanne McTavish, desperately needs a job. Few exist in tiny Barkerville, tucked in the forests of Oregon's Cascades. Old Mr. Wilke at the White Water Bar & Grill wants pretty girls tending his bar-and much more. With twenty dollars in her pocket and knots in her stomach, she accepts his proposition. On her own for the first time, the naïve twenty-one year-old has much to learn about scoundrels when a handsome, mysterious stranger wiles his way into her world. Chaos descends when two hundred rowdy construction miners swagger into town with big money. Suzanne and her free-spirited sidekick, Karen, are quickly caught in the turbulence of politics, deceit and seduction. The hard-drinking men whose paths they cross are nothing like the loggers they grew up with. By summer's end, the two women, each with different ideas about how to behave in their booze-centered world, encounter difficult decisions concerning love and loyalty. Suzanne questions the life she's living at the White Water Bar & Grill, but only the shock of tragedy brings the clarity she needs to escape the whirlpool and move on to complete her emancipation.

Decolonising Sambo

Transculturation, Fungibility and Black and People of Colour Futurity

By: Shirley Anne Tate

This book decolonises 'sambo' as racialised knowledge, power, being and affect to unsettle its place in the history of 'mixed race' and racialised naming forged through settler colonialism which in its afterlife continues to haunt our contemporary period through national commemoration, cultural production and markets in contemptible collectibles.

Plantation

By: Shirley Schuler

The motto E Vasitate Haec Urbs, or "Out of the Wilderness, This City," is more than just a saying when describing Plantation. The geographical area that was to become the city was covered by two to three feet of water at least six months of the year, and the early history of the area was dependent upon the vision of engineers creating a network of canals to make the land more conducive for agricultural and residential development. Located in Central Broward County just west of Fort Lauderdale, the City of Plantation was incorporated in April 1953. Today, it is a thriving municipality of 85,000 residents, 22 square miles in size, featuring tree-filled friendly neighborhoods, world-class recreational facilities, active clubs and civic organizations, and a diverse business community. The city maintains the hometown atmosphere that all residents value, creating a community where the grass is truly greener.

American Costume 1915-1970

A Source Book for the Stage Costumer

By: Shirley Miles O'Donnol

Shirley Miles O'Donnol provides both illustrations and written descriptions of styles worn in everyday life and suggests ways of adapting them to stage use. Her animated and informative text gives an overview of social trends as well as insight into the fashions themselves. Since women's fashions change more frequently and more radically than men's, the chapters follow the eras in women's apparel: "The First World War," "The Flaming Twenties," "The Depressed Thirties," "The Second World War," "The Postwar Era and the 'New Look,'" "The Late Fifties: Dawn of the Space Age," and "The Sixties: Unisex and Miniskirts." Lavishly illustrated with original drawings by the author, photographs of costumes now in museum collections, and drawings and photographs taken from fashion magazines spanning more than fifty years, American Costume, 1915-1970 is a practical -- and entertaining -- handbook for the stage costumer.
