Book Description
Excerpt from The Fulham Genealogy With Index of Names and Blanks for Records A genealogy usually has little of interest to those whose names do not appear in it; this is likely to be no exception; and, probably, the interest of the majority will be only in what relates to their individual families, or their line of descent. It has been prepared especially for the descendants of the Honorable Francis Fulham of Weston, Massachusetts, born at Fulham, a parish of London, England; and, in conformity to the method of its designer, it contains all that is known of him and his ancestry; and what has been learned of his progeny, of whatever name, that can interest the family in general or the individuals composing it. The facts as to past generations have been gathered from trustworthy sources; and what relates to those now or lately living is from their own narration, or from narratives of relatives or familiar friends. The substance of what has been furnished by all is inserted, without intent to glorify any, and suppressing nothing that can contribute to a general knowledge of the history and character istics of the family; that all may find what is of interest to them. In 1845 the Author's father began to record facts as to the family, stored in his marvelous memory from childhood. Beginning with the narratives of his grand father Timothy Fulham, born in Weston, and 16 years old when Francis Fulham died, he added what afterwards was acquired, intending to publish all. After his death, the manuscript came to the Author, who, to save from oblivion that of which there was no other record, and finish the undertaking according to his father's wish, took up the work, and now presents the result to his kindred.

The Quincunx
Author: Charles PalliserPublisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345371135
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
An extraordinary modern novel in the Victorian tradition, Charles Palliser has created something extraordinary—a plot within a plot within a plot of family secrets, mysterious clues, low-born birth, high-reaching immorality, and, always, always the fog-enshrouded, enigmatic character of 19th century—London itself. “So compulsively absorbing that reality disappears . . . One is swept along by those enduring emotions that defy modern art and a random universe: hunger for revenge, longing for justice and the fantasy secretly entertained by most people that the bad will be punished and the good rewarded.”—The New York Times “A virtuoso achievement . . . It is an epic, a tour de force, a staggeringly complex and tantalizingly layered tale that will keep readers engrossed in days. . . . The Quincunx will not disappoint you. It is, quite simply, superb.”—Chicago Sun-Times “A bold and vivid tale that invites the reader to get lost in the intoxicating rhythms of another world. And the invitation is irresistible.”—San Francisco Chronicle “A remarkable book . . . In mood, color, atmosphere and characters, this is Charles Dickens reincarnated . . . It is an immersing experience.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “To read the first pages is to be trapped for seven-hundred odd more: you cannot stop turning them.”—The New Yorker “Few books, at most a dozen or two in a lifetime, affect us this way. . . . For sheer intricacy and ingenuity, for skill and clarity of storytelling, it is the kind of book readers wait for, a book to get lost in.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

Touching Spirit Bear
Author: Ben MikaelsenPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062009680
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
In his Nautilus Award-winning classic Touching Spirit Bear, author Ben Mikaelson delivers a powerful coming-of-age story of a boy who must overcome the effects that violence has had on his life. After severely injuring Peter Driscal in an empty parking lot, mischief-maker Cole Matthews is in major trouble. But instead of jail time, Cole is given another option: attend Circle Justice, an alternative program that sends juvenile offenders to a remote Alaskan Island to focus on changing their ways. Desperate to avoid prison, Cole fakes humility and agrees to go. While there, Cole is mauled by a mysterious white bear and left for dead. Thoughts of his abusive parents, helpless Peter, and his own anger cause him to examine his actions and seek redemption—from the spirit bear that attacked him, from his victims, and, most importantly, from himself. Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots of his anger without absolving him of responsibility for his actions, and questioning a society in which angry people make victims of their peers and communities. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of a pain that can destroy, or lead to healing. A strong choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.
