Book excerpt: A handsome doctor comes home to Vermont to reclaim his first love in this Americana romance from the New York Times–bestselling author. Dr. Jonas Concannon has left his practice in New York to return to his hometown of Randolph, Vermont, a picturesque snow-covered village nestled in the glorious Green Mountains. He’s doing it all for Bridget, his first love, the woman he abandoned a decade ago. But he soon discovers she’s no longer the unquestioning innocent he left behind. A strong and resilient widow and single mother, she has her own business, a new man in her life, and an aversion to revisiting the past. Bridget has to give Jonas credit—what other man would have the nerve to try and shake her resolve after so many years and expect to win her back? While it’s true that she’s never forgotten him, Bridget’s never forgiven him either . . . even if his smile is still potent enough to warm the coldest of hearts. Now, as winter melts into spring, bitter feelings begin to thaw too. But for Bridget that means daring to be vulnerable and trust Jonas all over again.

Download or read book Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom written by Christopher S. Wren and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myth and the reality of Ethan Allen and the much-loved Green Mountain Boys of Vermont—a “surprising and interesting new account…useful, informative reexamination of an often-misunderstood aspect of the American Revolution” (Booklist). In the “highly recommended” (Library Journal) Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom, Wren overturns the myth of Ethan Allen as a legendary hero of the American Revolution and a patriotic son of Vermont and offers a different portrait of Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. They were ruffians who joined the rush for cheap land on the northern frontier of the colonies in the years before the American Revolution. Allen did not serve in the Continental Army but he raced Benedict Arnold for the famous seizure of Britain’s Fort Ticonderoga. Allen and Arnold loathed each other. General George Washington, leery of Allen, refused to give him troops. In a botched attempt to capture Montreal against specific orders of the commanding American general, Allen was captured in 1775 and shipped to England to be hanged. Freed in 1778, he spent the rest of his time negotiating with the British but failing to bring Vermont back under British rule. “A worthy addition to the canon of works written about this fractious period in this country’s history” (Addison County Independent), this is a groundbreaking account of an important and little-known front of the Revolutionary War, of George Washington (and his good sense), and of a major American myth. Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom is an “engrossing” (Publishers Weekly) and essential contribution to the history of the American Revolution.

Ultimately, A Far Cry From Green Mountain chronicles one man's journey to find himself while doing his part to unshackle Europe from the grasp of tyranny. The author, Paul Barbero, draws from historical and military records, letters, and interviews with Frank Peregoy's last surviving family and friends to weave a riveting account of an American war hero too long overlooked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethan Allen is one of the great folk heroes of the American Revolution. But he did not become a legend all by himself. The Green Mountain Boys, the freedom-loving landowners who fought beside him, share the story of this daring patriot. Even before the victorious Battle of Fort Ticonderoga, Allen and the Green Mountain Boys were well known for defending settlers-- rights in the part of the country now known as Vermont. Often acting without orders or permission, Allen and his Boys fought bravely in the war for America's independence from England. But the passing of over two hundred years has blurred the lines between fact and fiction about Ethan Allen and his men. A deeper understanding of the events of Allen's lifetime helps us understand the man behind this larger-than-life hero and his mighty Green Mountain Boys.
Download or read book The Greatest Mountain Men Stories Ever Told written by Lamar Underwood and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long the dominant icon embodying the spirit of America's frontier past, the image of the cowboy no longer stands alone as the ultimate symbol of independence and self-reliance. The great canvas of the western landscape-in art, books, film-is today shared by the figures called "Mountain Men." They were the trappers of the Rocky Mountain fur trade in the years following Lewis and Clark's Expedition of 1804-1806. With their bold journeys peaking, during the period of 1830-1840, they were the first white men to enter the vast wilderness reaches of the Rockies in search of beaver "plews," as the skins were called. They feasted on the abundant buffalo, elk and other game, while living the ultimate free-spirited wilderness life. Often they paid the ultimate price for their ventures under the arrows, tomahawks, and knives of those native Americans whose lands they had entered. Tales of the Mountain Men, presents in one book many of the most engaging and revealing portraits of mountain men ever written. Ranging from nonfiction classics like Bernard DeVoto's Across the Wide Missouri through fiction from such acclaimed novels as A. B. Guthrie Jr.'s The Big Sky, this collection is destined to be well appreciated by the huge and dedicated audience fascinated by mountain man lore and legend. These readers include many who today participate in reenactments of the mountain man "Rendezvous," with colorful costumes and competitions of traditional skills with authentic guns, knives, and tools. No book exists today with such a diverse and engaging collection of mountain man literature. For an already-large and still-growing audience, Tales of the Mountain Men will be a valued extension of their interest in the mountain man as a compelling and uniquely American figure.
