Jonathan Braithewaite settles in eastern North Carolina in 1727. He marries a sea captain's daughter and they found Jonathan's Landing, later renamed Wisharton. Half the town evolves into a harsh, Calvinist planter community represented by the Brandt family. The other half into a more liberal community scended from the Anglicans and represented by the Braithewaites. Tension grows between the two families who pass through a series of crises. The hero's wife dies of untreatable disease, followed by her husband who is killed in a duel. The slave community evolves from its Yoruban (African) roots tempered by an infusion of Christianity. The eldest Braithewaite daughter marries a school teacher and they open an academy. The Brandt son becomes a religious fanatic who slays his retarded mulatto daughter resisting his attempt at rape. His older slave mistress mediates between the planter family and the slaves. She, too, is carrying his child. Brandt's trial for murder in the death of the girl takes up the middle third of the story. He is sentenced to the pillory and dies there as he is being branded on the forehead with the mark of the serpent. The Brandt's slaves engage in a carefully-controlled rebellion, and the Braithewaite widow frees hers. The final third of the story is set in modern times. Graduate student Kareena discovers she is a direct descendant of a sister of the slave girl murdered 150 years earlier. Moreover, her graduate advisor is a direct descendant of the mad planter Brandt. Through this lineage she and her advisor both carry the Brandt genes. Strange events seem to happen that cannot be real. Flashbacks relating to their common heritage carry the story to a terrifying and surreal conclusion, bringing their mutual family curse to an end.

The first book in the Sergeant Cribb series, from Peter Lovesey. In Victorian London, race-walking, or 'wobbles', are all the rage. So on a Monday morning in November 1879 the crowds gather for Islington's bizarre six-day endurance walking race. By Tuesday, one of the contestants is dead. Tetanus from a blister is assumed, but then there is a second death, and this time it's definitely murder. A bemused Sergeant Cribb from Scotland Yard is called in, along with Constable Thackeray, and they soon discover that something foul is at play. Reissue of Peter Lovesey's first acclaimed book that started his career nearly 50 years ago.

French's unsurpassed Gazetteer of the State of New York is a complete history & description of every county, city, town, village, & locality in New York. But more than that it is a record of the founders & early settlers of practically every locality in the state-an astonishing achievement & the reason that the book has remained among the top genealogical reference works for New York State. Of course, no single person could have generated all this information on his own, so under the supervision of J.H. French "surveyors & agents were instructed to visit every city, town, & village, to search records, examine documents, consult the best living, printed, & manuscript authorities, & to make returns to the general office of all the reliable matter & information obtained." Thus was created an accurate & comprehensive gazetteer, with descriptions of each county, city, town, & village arranged according to a uniform plan (of more value today to the genealogist than ever before). Information provided for each locality includes founding (& founders), early settlements (& settlers), historical sketch to the time of writing, loading institutions, schools, & churches, prominent & representative citizens, stories of general & local interest, statistics from state censuses, & names of every natural & man made topographical feature. Preceding this core part of the Gazetteer is a full 150-page survey of the government, topography, & institutions of the state of New York. Outstanding as the Gazetteer is, its usefulness as a research tool is severely limited by the lack of an index to the thousands of narnes that appear in the text & footnotes. But this reprint edition puts an end to this unfortunate situation, as it incorporates Frank Place's Index of Names, a 16000-name index first published in 1962 by the Cortland County Historical Society. In 1969 the Society issued a second printing of the Index incorporating a "Supplement" of additions & corrections, & a third printing in 1983 included a "Supplementary Index to Place Names." With the Society's permission, we have incorporated the final index edition of 1983 with our reprint of the Gazetteer, making it the most complete & the most useful edition ever published.

For every athlete or sports fanatic who knows she's just as good as the guys. This is for fans of The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen, Grace, Gold, and Glory by Gabrielle Douglass and Breakaway: Beyond the Goal by Alex Morgan. The summer before Caleb and Tessa enter high school, friendship has blossomed into a relationship . . . and their playful sports days are coming to an end. Caleb is getting ready to try out for the football team, and Tessa is training for cross-country. But all their structured plans derail in the final flag game when they lose. Tessa doesn’t want to end her career as a loser. She really enjoys playing, and if she’s being honest, she likes it even more than running cross-country. So what if she decided to play football instead? What would happen between her and Caleb? Or between her two best friends, who are counting on her to try out for cross-country with them? And will her parents be upset that she’s decided to take her hobby to the next level? This summer Caleb and Tessa figure out just what it means to be a boyfriend, girlfriend, teammate, best friend, and someone worth cheering for. “A great next choice for readers who have enjoyed Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s Dairy Queen and Miranda Kenneally’s Catching Jordan.”—SLJ “Fast-paced football action, realistic family drama, and sweet romance…[will have] readers looking for girl-powered sports stories…find[ing] plenty to like.”—Booklist “Tessa's ferocious competitiveness is appealing.”—Kirkus Reviews “[The Football Girl] serve[s] to illuminate the appropriately complicated emotions both of a young romance and of pursuing a dream. Heldring writes with insight and restraint.”—The Horn Book
