Book excerpt: WELCOME TO COOPERS VALLEY, MR. MORROW. GOOD LUCK MAKING SENSE OF IT. Coopers Valley, Indiana. A peculiar town. Hard to pinpoint on a map. Inhabited by people who aren’t quite there. And carefully watched over by . . . someone. To this fabled “Town of a Thousand Stories” comes Matt Morrow, a reporter investigating two unsolved missing persons cases. His real purpose? To restore a ruined reputation and redeem himself for a tragic mistake. He soon finds himself in the company of beautiful Mrs. Zimmer, a police aide assigned to help his research. But even as he is powerfully drawn to this mysterious widow with the haunted eyes, he begins to suspect she’s involved in the two old cases. As the hours pass his suspicions mount. Why won’t she give him a straight answer? What is she hiding? And how does she know so much about him and his own dark past? As Morrow searches for answers, Dilly dodges his questions and offers instead entertaining stories about the townsfolk. Stories too fantastic to be true. Or are they? The conflict between them mounts until they finally uncover the truth about themselves . . . and the shocking secret at the very heart of the town itself. Coopers Valley. Where stories come alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hudson Valley Reckoning tells the long-ignored story of slavery's history in upstate New York through Debra Bruno's absorbing chronicle that uncovers her Dutch ancestors' slave-holding past and leads to a deep connection with the descendants of the enslaved people her family owned. Bruno, who grew up in New York's Hudson Valley knowing little about her Dutch heritage, was shaken when a historian told her that her Dutch ancestors were almost certainly slaveholders. Driven by this knowledge, Bruno began to unearth her family's past. In the last will and testament of her ancestor, she found the first evidence: human beings bequeathed to his family along with animals and furniture. The more she expanded her family tree, the more enslavers she found. She reached out to Black Americans tracing their own ancestry, and by serendipitous luck became friends with Eleanor C. Mire, a descendent of a woman enslaved by Bruno's Dutch ancestors. A Hudson Valley Reckoning recounts Bruno's journey into the nearly forgotten history of Northern slavery and of the thousands of enslaved people brought in chains to Manhattan and the Hudson Valley. With the help of Mire, who provides a moving epilogue, Debra Bruno tells the story of white and Black lives impacted by the stain of slavery and its long legacy of racism, as she investigates the erasure of the uncomfortable truths about our family and national histories.

Download or read book James Fenimore Cooper written by Wayne Franklin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851) invented the key forms of American fiction—the Western, the sea tale, the Revolutionary War romance. Furthermore, Cooper turned novel writing from a polite diversion into a paying career. He influenced Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Francis Parkman, and even Mark Twain—who felt the need to flagellate Cooper for his “literary offenses.” His novels mark the starting point for any history of our environmental conscience. Far from complicit in the cleansings of Native Americans that characterized the era, Cooper’s fictions traced native losses to their economic sources. Perhaps no other American writer stands in greater need of a major reevaluation than Cooper. This is the first treatment of Cooper’s life to be based on full access to his family papers. Cooper’s life, as Franklin relates it, is the story of how, in literature and countless other endeavors, Americans in his period sought to solidify their political and cultural economic independence from Britain and, as the Revolutionary generation died, stipulate what the maturing republic was to become. The first of two volumes, James Fenimore Cooper: The Early Years covers Cooper’s life from his boyhood up to 1826, when, at the age of thirty-six, he left with his wife and five children for Europe.
