ONE AFTERNOON AT THE IROQUOIS HISTORY AND HAUNTINGS OF AMERICA'S DEADLIEST THEATRE FIRE On the cold afternoon of December 30, 1903, a fire broke out in Chicago's Iroquois Theater during a sold-out performance. The theater had been advertised as "absolutely fireproof" when it had opened ahead of schedule to take advantage of holiday crowds. But the theater wasn't fireproof - it wasn't even safe. In less than 20 minutes, more than 600 people - mostly women and children - were burned, smothered, and trampled to death as the panicked audience tried to flee the theater. They soon discovered locked stairways, missing fire escapes, and jammed doors, leading to scores of deaths. In this chilling book, author Troy Taylor delves into the true story of this horrific holiday tragedy, detailing not only the disaster itself but the lives that were lost, changed, and utterly destroyed on that fateful afternoon. He takes readers inside the walls of the theater in a search for the missing and the dead and behind the doors of Chicago's City Hall, where the corruption occurred that allowed the dangerous theater to open just five weeks before the fire. Follow the victims taken to makeshift morgues in stores, restaurants, and saloons and then hunt for the lingering spirits who refuse to rest in peace after more than a century. Discover first-hand accounts of hauntings in the theater that now stands at the site, in a nearby department store, and, of course, in the narrow passage behind the theater where more than 100 people were killed - a passage that the press in 1903 dubbed "Death Alley." One Afternoon at the Iroquois is the perfect book for a cold winter's night during the holiday season -- when what should have been the perfect time of year turned into a nightmare.

This comprehensive resource follows the pivotal and often overlooked efforts of the Iroquois Confederacy, the Dutch, the French, and the English colonies to control the strategic waterways of the Hudson-Champlain corridor from their discovery to the fall of New France. From Champlain and Hudson's initial voyages some 400 years ago, to the surrender of Montreal in 1760, The European Invasion of North America: Colonial Conflict Along the Hudson - Champlain Corridor, 1609–1760 offers unprecedented coverage of the 150-year struggle between New World rivals along this natural invasion route—a struggle which would ultimately determine the destiny of North America. Unlike other volumes on this period, The European Invasion of North America includes extensive coverage from the French and Dutch as well as British perspectives, examining events in the context of larger colonial confrontations. Drawing on hundreds of firsthand accounts, it recaps political maneuvers and blunders, military successes and failures, and the remarkable people behind them all: cabinet ministers in Paris, Amsterdam, and London; colonial leaders such as Stuyvesant, Frontenac, and Montcalm; shrewd diplomats of the Iroquois Confederacy; and soldiers and families on all sides of the conflict. It also highlights the growing friction between Britain and her American colonies, which would soon lead to a different war.

The participation of the Iroquois of Akwasasne, Kanesetake (Oka), Kahnawake and Oswegatchie in the Seven Years’ War is a long neglected topic. The consequences of this struggle still shape Canadian history. The book looks at the social and economic impact of the war on both men and women in Canadian Iroquois communities. The Canadian Iroquois provides an enhanced appreciation both of the role of Amerindians in the war itself and of their difficult struggle to lead their lives within the unstable geopolitical environment created by European invasion and settlement.

Founded near Lexington, Kentucky, in 1880--and refounded in 1926--the Iroquois Hunt Club is a small club at the heart of the Bluegrass. Its history, however, is populated by vivid characters with strong links to some of America's most influential figures and most important movements of the last 120 years. Members participated in the Black Hills Gold Rush of the 1870s, the fight for women's right to vote in the early 1900s, Theodore Roosevelt's creation of national parks and the building of the Grand Coulee Dam. At home in the Bluegrass, they also contributed mightily to the development of modern Lexington and were key figures in founding the iconic Keeneland Racecourse and in a number of historic Thoroughbred nurseries, including Calumet and the Whitney farm. Authors Christopher and Glenye Oakford retrace the storied past of an influential group.

Hauntings are believed to be created from violence and bloodshed. And from the beginning, the Prairie State was a place where death thrived, and mysteries became commonplace. Illinois was the home of ancient peoples know as Moundbuilders whose only legacy is silent graves and many unsolved mysteries. The French left behind their own ghostly stories after their displacement by the Americans in the 1700s and countless slaughters such as the Dearborn Massacre gave birth to tales of horror that live on in the history of Illinois. Eerie occurrences, spooky events, unsolved mysteries, and terrifying specters haunt Illinois. Tales of headless horsemen, haunted castles and a penitentiary occupied by ghosts chill the spines of visitors. Haunted Illinois explores the Prairie State’s paranormal side and serves as a guide to its haunted places.
