"History has many love stories weaved by the threads of tragedy and triumph. With a Civil War exploding across the nation, the sleepy river town of Plymouth, NC becomes the scene of the second largest battle in the state. Both Naval and Army groups collide here in events that change the course of the War. A killing machine is unleashed that threatens to break the Union Naval Blockade. Spirited Belle is torn between the three dashing Military men who court her. Belle's yearning passions are only equaled by her healing touch in this hell of pain. Should she choose duty, or follow her heart? ~ ~ ~ Why I wrote this historical novel: On the night of 27-28 October 1864, Cushing and a small crew took the Union Navy steam launch upriver to Plymouth, NC, where they attacked and sank the Confederate ironclad Ram CSS Albemarle with a spar torpedo. My ancestor William Stotesbury was with Cushing on the mission. Some call Cushing and his crew the "First Seal Team." This action made him a national celebrity, and he was quickly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. In January 1865, Cushing helped lead the Navy landing force in the conquest of Fort Fisher, NC, again distinguishing himself. As befits the memory of a man that Civil War Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles called "the hero of the War", the Navy has named a series of torpedo boats and destroyers for William Barker Cushing."

A prolific author who published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Commissaire Jules Maigret, who appears in 75 novels and 28 short stories. The first novel in the series, Pietr-le-Letton, was serialized in 1930 and appeared in book form in 1931; the last one, Maigret and Monsieur Charles, was published in 1972. The Maigret novels were translated into all major languages and several of them were turned into films and radio plays. Three films were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starring Jean Gabin: Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case; Maigret Sets A Trap; and Margret Sees Red. "Maigret's Rival" is one of the very best of the police procedurals by Georges Simenon that feature Commissaire Jules Maigret of the Paris Criminal Police solving a murder outside the capital, working without the benefit of his investigative assistants, forensic labs, and official credentials. The action takes place in the Atlantic Coast-based Vendee, in a small town peopled by self-preoccupied members of the haute bourgeosie and a peasantry suspicious of outsiders. Originally published in 1944 as "L'inspecteur Cadavre" and later translated into English as "Maigret and Inspector Cadavre," it features a Maigret whose investigative talents and ability to read the nuances of French social hierarchy are already well developed. In this instance, the Commissaire must solve the question of whether a young man run over by a train died as the result of an accident or murder. Despite efforts to stymie his inquiries, Maigret uncovers within a few days the secrets, motivations, and complex relationships--including several love affairs--that reveal the truth of the grisly death. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 176 pages.

On July 17, 1873, Domingo Pujol, Francisco Sanjurjo, and Juan and Ezequiel Murrieta purchased the Rancho Pauba and Rancho Temecula Mexican land grants, comprising 52,000 acres in the area. Ezequiel returned to Spain and turned the land over to his younger brother, Juan Murrieta (1844 1936), who brought 7,000 sheep to the valley in 1873, using the meadows to feed his sheep. The partnership dissolved in 1876 and Ezequiel and Juan Murrieta retained 15,000 acres of the northern half of the Temecula Rancho. Ezequiel and Juan Murrieta granted a right-of-way, one-hundred-feet wide to the California Southern Railroad through the Temecula Rancho on April 28, 1882 so that the railroad could be constructed through the valley. In 1884, the Temecula Land and Water Company purchased about 14,500 acres from Juan Murrieta and mapped a town site along the California Southern Railroad. Others discovered the valley after the construction of a depot in 1887 that connected Murrieta to the Southern California Railroad's transcontinental route. By 1890 some 800 people lived in Murrieta. Today much of the site (about 50 acres) is home to a Bible college and conference center, owned by Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, which has invested millions of dollars into restoring and rebuilding the old resort rooms. When the trains stopped in 1935, tourists the lifeblood of the town were much harder to come by. The boom that Murrieta had experienced due to the train and the hot springs gradually died, leaving Murrieta as a small country town. In exceptionally good condition. Paperback.

"A small, unspoiled town on the outskirts of Paris, Argenteuil became a hub of artistic activity during one of the most exciting periods in art history--the decade of the 1870s, when true impressionism was born. Drawn to Argenteuil in search of new inspiration, Claude Monet settled there in 1871. The beauty of the town and its proximity to Paris, along with the amiable presence of Monet himself, soon attracted other artists who found there the inspiration to create some of the most lyrical, dazzling, and progressive paintings of the day. This richly illustrated book explores the responses to Argenteuil of six influential painters in more than fifty of their works. With scenic vistas still unmarred by urban industrialization, Argenteuil in the 1870s was ideally suited to the experiments in plein-air effects that became the hallmark of classic impressionist works. Paul Hayes Tucker describes the lively artistic exchange that developed among Monet, Eug ne Boudin, Gustave Caillebotte, douard Manet, Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley as they worked, often side by side, in and around the town. At Argenteuil, Tucker shows, the artists fascination with atmospheric effects, depictions of modern life, and dialogue with one another coalesced to produce a unique and revolutionary body of work. / Paul Hayes Tucker is professor of art at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. He is the author of Claude Monet: Life and Art, Monet at Argenteuil, Monet in the 90s, and Monet in the Twentieth Century." - Publisher. Size: 4to.

TALBOT, MARGARET. The entertainer: movies, magic, and my father's twentieth century. New York: Riverhead Books, 2012, 1st printing number line starting with 1, xiv, 418pp., . Using the life and career of her father, writer Margaret Talbot tells the story of the rise of popular culture through a personal lens. The arc of Lyle Talbot's career is in fact the story of American entertainment. Born in 1902, Lyle left small-town Nebraska in 1918 to join a traveling carnival. From there he became a magician's assistant, an actor in a traveling theater troupe, a romantic lead in early talkies, then an actor in major Warner Bros. pictures, then an actor in cult B movies, and finally a part of the advent of television, with regular roles on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It to Beaver. In her impeccably researched narrative--a combination of Hollywood history, social history, and family memoir--Margaret Talbot conjures warmth and nostalgia for those earlier eras of '10s and '20s small-town America, '30s and '40s Hollywood. - CONTENTS: Learning to cry -- The hypnotist's boy -- Footlights on the prairie -- Hooray for Hollywood -- Gangsters, grifters, and gold diggers -- Man about town -- Empty bottles -- Unionizing actors, uniting fans -- Broadway and B movies -- From Ed Wood to Ozzie and Harriet.

Paperback. Condition: New. First edition. Unpaginated (20 pp). [28 cm]. Quarto. Glossy pictorial loose wraps with publisher's rubber band binding at center fold. Edition of 100. Unfolds to become 11x14 in. Double-Sided Portable Exhibition. Text by Jason Reed "Pecos, Texas has for most of its life been a place in between here and there. It is flat, hot, and dusty with little geological dimension save for the scrub brush that dots the endless horizon. The much-mythologized Pecos River cuts through the windswept plains east of town. Follow that river and the Texas-Mexico border is just a few hours south. Yet unlike many of the rural towns that have faded away in an ever-increasing urbanized age, Pecos sits on the Permian Basinâ "a massive geological formation stretching across parts of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico that is exceedingly rich with oil and gas. Hope is from Pecos and much of her family is still there. She knows the rituals of life in the small town, has witnessed the economic shifts of the oil boom/bust cycle, and knows that it is the labor and resilience of the Latina/o population that forms the structural web of Pecos, as is true in many rural outposts from the oil fields of West Texas to the meat-packing towns of the Midwest." --from the publisher.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 166 Pages. Tight square book with covers showing light wear. Interior text pages are near flawless. This book collects the poems of rancher-poet-essayist Linda M. Hasselstrom. The book contains the complete texts of Linda's earlier work, Caught By One Wing 1990 and Roadkill 1987, both out of print, and adds 28 previously unpublished poems including the perennial favorite, Mulch, a preface, a brief autobiographical sketch, and an alphabetical index of titles. Here are Linda's observations on the past, present and future of her life in the West, touching on local history Homesteading in Dakota, her childhood Tomboy, ranching Rancher Roulette, living on the land Now I Know Grouse, lessons learned from older relatives Handbook to Ranching, and the unanticipated changes in her life Walking the Dog. There is a band of writers today examining where their region has come from and where it's headed. Historians, poets, essayists, novelists, they're taking apart myths that started when the United States was born. Among the best are those who have lived part of that nation-defining history on ranches and reservations and in small towns across the West; Wallace Stegner, Ivan Doig, Patricia Nelson Limerick, James Welch, Linda Hasselstrom, and a few dozen more. Hasselstrom is living proof that literature can flourish without a steady supply of grants, five-figure advances, national awards. She works every day on her ranch, but she also publishes at least one good book a year.

First edition - First printing. A small booklet listing in alphabetical order all of the heads of households and businesses in Jackson, California in 1949. Inside the front cover is the information that the data in this directory was taken from the official map of the streets and numbers recently adopted by the City of Jackson. While Jackson is the county seat of Amador and the largest city in the region, it was still very much a small town then (and now). In 1949 all of the gold mines had been shut down, and the tourism boom had not yet begun. However, looking just at the last page it is interesting to see the variety of names from the English Winterbottom to the Basque Ybarra, the Chinese Yow and Yep and the Italian Zuccone. 28 pp in stiff tan stapled wrappers. Includes a double page street map, a list of local organizations with meeting places and dates, the US mail arrival and departure schedule and the location of all the fire alarm boxes.

Condition: Gut. 320 Seiten. 24 cm. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. Lodge is a witty storyteller with an unerring instinct for the absurd, whether he's poking fun at academic life or mocking the excesses of tourism, as he did in his last novel, Paradise News (1992). Here he takes on the self-important but quite silly world of British television. His hero, Tubby Passmore, is a wildly successful sitcom screenwriter with a passion for Kierkegaard. Well into his fifties and quite wealthy, he knows he should be happy with his athletic university professor wife, his big country house and London apartment, his popular series, and his platonic girlfriend, but instead he's suffering from free-floating angst and a host of nagging yet elusive ailments. All this has turned him into a therapy addict, and he sneaks off to his psychoanalyst, acupuncturist, physical therapist, and orthopedic surgeon as though they were secret lovers, but none bring relief. Only writing helps, and Tubby's droll accounts of his hilarious misadventures are rich amalgams of innocence and irony. With this larky novel, Lodge has proved once again that fiction can have a strong moral center and still be utterly charming. Donna Seaman. - David John Lodge CBE, (born 28 January 1935 at Brockley, London, England) is an English author. In his novels, Lodge often satirises academia in general and the humanities in particular. He was brought up Catholic and has described himself as an "agnostic Catholic". Many of his characters are Catholic and their Catholicism is a major theme. . BiographyLodge's first published novel The Picturegoers (1960) draws on his early experiences in 'Brickley' (based on Brockley in S E London) , which are also described in his novel Therapy. World War II forced Lodge and his mother to evacuate to Surrey and Cornwall.[1] Lodge studied at University College London, obtaining a BA (with honours) in 1955. In 1959 he married Mary Frances Jacob and received an MA from UCL. He went on to obtain a PhD at the University of Birmingham, and taught English literature there from 1960 until 1987, being particularly noted for his lectures on Victorian fiction. From 1964-5 he was Harkness Fellow in the United States[1]. He retired from his post at Birmingham in 1987 to become a full-time writer, but retains the title of Honorary Professor of Modern English Literature at the University and continues to live in Birmingham. His papers are housed in the University of Birmingham Library's Special Collections. Apart from his frequent themes of academia and Roman Catholicism, Lodge's works tend to feature the same fictional locales. The town of "Rummidge", modelled after Birmingham (UK), and the equally imaginary US state of "Euphoria", situated between the states of "North California" and "South California" feature prominently. Euphoria's State University is located in the city of "Plotinus", a thinly disguised version of Berkeley, California. Several of his novels, including Small World (1984), and Nice Work (1989), have been adapted as television series, the latter by Lodge himself. Nice Work was filmed at the University of Birmingham. In 1994 Lodge adapted Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit for the BBC. In 1997 David Lodge was made a Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, and in the 1998 New Years Honours list, he was appointed CBE for his services to literature.
