Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Fairbanks Family in America, 1633-1897 In the beginning of my researches which ultimately led to the production of this volume, 1 had no thought of attempting to write a general genealogy of the Fairbanks Family. My purpose was to study, in a superficial way, the history of the early families, and, particularly, to trace my own lineage. Proceeding with this end in view, my investigations very soon naturally took a wider range, and were continued, with a constantly increasing interest in the subject, till I had practically laid the foundation of the more ambitious project upon which I finally entered with more courage than foresight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairbanks Family Record Among the descendants of Abel Fairbanks I fail to find any very marked peculiarities. I find no musical talent. In creed they are mostly Congregationalists. The various trades and occupations are fairly represented, and many of them are noted for their industrious, persevering habits, and I presume all are noted for their love of law and good order. In my travels through the West and Northwest this season, I failed to find any trace of the descendants of Rufus Fairbanks Rev. H. F. Fairbanks, of Milwaukee, thinks he descended from Jonas, the son of Jonathan, but is not positive. Within the two hundred and fifty years from Jonathan's time, eleven generations have come upon the stage; many of them have stepped off to make room for others. The venera ble Sir Thaddeus is the only one of his generation that I know of, that is living to-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Family Records, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Two Sisters "Heaven forming each on other to depend, - A master, or a servant, or a friend, - Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all. Wants, frailties, fashions, closer still ally The common interest, or endear the tie. To these we owe true friendship, love sincere, Each home felt joy that life inherits here." Pope. "What can be the cause of your abstraction, dear Margaret," said the beautiful Susan Falkland to her sister, who was gazing intently from her bed-room window at the scene before her, apparently forgetful that her toilette was still unfinished, while Susan was engaged with the arrangement of her hair. "You have not uttered a word for this half hour, and you are not usually so slow in preparation for a fine day's enjoyment." A scarcely audible sigh was breathed at the conclusion of these words; and Margaret turned hastily from the objects of her late contemplation, to catch the reason of a sadness which her quick affection had perceived in her sisters manner. "You shall soon hear all that was passing in my mind, dear Susan." "What! all, Margaret?" "Yes, yes, all," rejoined she, as the mantling blood in her laughing cheeks almost convinced her more serious sister that she would not be as able as she was willing to fulfil her promise.

Download or read book History of the Town of Bellingham Massachusetts written by George F. Partridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Bellingham Massachusetts: 1719 1919 Trm two hundredth anniversary of our town this year brings the occasion for writing its history, for both those who are interested now and those who may care for it in the future. My purpose has been to collect and preserve the essentials of the story, not to describe the life of this rather unusual border town as it deserves. In the strug gles of Baptists and Quakers for religious liberty from its beginning, and in the anxious times of the Revolution and the settlement of the constitution, the town was a leader in its day. Genealogy and much else that is interesting has been left out, and documents have been quoted exactly but with omissions. The chief sources used have been the town records and the vital statistics, church records, the Massachusetts Archives and General Court Records, the Registries of Deeds and Wills at Boston and Dedham, and the Metcalf and other family papers. There are in print two sermons of Rev. Abial Fisher on our first century, and a chapter on Bellingham by R. G. Fairbanks in Hurd's History of Norfolk County, 1884. This book has been made possible by the vote of $500 for its publication by the town, and by Mr. A. E. Bullard, who has met the expense of printing beyond that sum. The author's thanks are due also to the town's committee on publication, and to many others who have helped him in the pleasant task. That committee is Maurice J. Connolly, Percy C. Burr, and Orville C. Rhodes, now deceased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Douglas Fairbanks written by Ralph Hancock and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people have influenced Hollywood history than Douglas Fairbanks. And who better than his niece and Fairbanks family historian, Letitia, to relate that story? On-screen and offscreen, he was a force of nature, progressing in easy leaps and bounds from the Broadway stage to silent movies when feature-length film was just a few years old. His happy, healthy characters and acrobatic acting style brought a new energy to the medium. But it was through his extraordinary success as a producer that Fairbanks achieved the goal of all creative people: to run his own show. This he did by co-founding United Artists in 1919 with his soon-to-be wife Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith. As a producer, he showed visionary taste, collaborating with his directors and designers to enact gallant tales in spectacular settings. Whether he played a young man on the go or a swashbuckling hero in a fairy-tale land, Fairbanks—one of the thirty-six founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—put America’s hopes and dreams on film. This updated version of the original 1953 biography has been expanded by the Fairbanks family with archival materials as well as never-before-seen photographs from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Margaret Herrick Library.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Destined to become an adventure classic." —Anchorage Daily News Hailed as "gripping" (New York Times) and "beautiful" (Washington Post), The Adventurer's Son is Roman Dial’s extraordinary and widely acclaimed account of his two-year quest to unravel the mystery of his son’s disappearance in the jungles of Costa Rica. In the predawn hours of July 10, 2014, the twenty-seven-year-old son of preeminent Alaskan scientist and National Geographic Explorer Roman Dial, walked alone into Corcovado National Park, an untracked rainforest along Costa Rica’s remote Pacific Coast that shelters miners, poachers, and drug smugglers. He carried a light backpack and machete. Before he left, Cody Roman Dial emailed his father: “I am not sure how long it will take me, but I’m planning on doing 4 days in the jungle and a day to walk out. I’ll be bounded by a trail to the west and the coast everywhere else, so it should be difficult to get lost forever.” They were the last words Dial received from his son. As soon as he realized Cody Roman’s return date had passed, Dial set off for Costa Rica. As he trekked through the dense jungle, interviewing locals and searching for clues—the authorities suspected murder—the desperate father was forced to confront the deepest questions about himself and his own role in the events. Roman had raised his son to be fearless, to be at home in earth’s wildest places, travelling together through rugged Alaska to remote Borneo and Bhutan. Was he responsible for his son’s fate? Or, as he hoped, was Cody Roman safe and using his wilderness skills on a solo adventure from which he would emerge at any moment? Part detective story set in the most beautiful yet dangerous reaches of the planet, The Adventurer’s Son emerges as a far deeper tale of discovery—a journey to understand the truth about those we love the most. The Adventurer’s Son includes fifty black-and-white photographs.

Download or read book Last Letters from Attu written by Mary Breu and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.
