Book excerpt: The terrifying bestseller from the author of House of Reckoning The children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christine Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill—the house where no children have lived for fifty years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin. A sound was coming to her. Her mind began to drift . . . Usually it came to her at night, when the wind was blowing. But today it was bright and clear; the wind was still. And yet the sound was there. A baby, crying out for its mother. Instinctively Diana knelt next to Christie and took the child in her arms. “It's all right,” she whispered. “Everything's going to be all right.” Perplexed, Christie looked into Diana's eyes. “I am all right, Aunt Diana. Really, I am,” Christie insisted. “But you were crying. I heard you. Good girls never cry. Only bad children cry. They cry. And cry. And then they must be punished. . . .”

Download or read book Escape To America written by John Van Wyck Gould and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-03-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, the nobility of Europe met in Vienna to divide up his empire. After a year of conniving and scheming, (along with lavish parties, opera, and winter games), they finally patched together a crazy-quilt map of Europe without regard for the welfare or ethnicity of its citizens. The resulting instability and endless confl icts, coupled with the lure of freedom in America, ledto a mass exodus from Central Europe. However, the trip to America was fraught with suffering and mortal danger.Many were jailed or pressed into military service for trying to leave their homeland without permission. Thousands died during the ocean crossing. To pay their passage, some were forced to indenture themselves, which amounted to near-slavery in many cases. Some were turned back after the harrowing crossing. Some were cheated by unscrupulous hucksters because they could not understand English. Many were forced into hazardous employment such as appallinglydangerous coalmining. This tale deals with two young lovers who make the heart-wrenching decision to escape to America from Schleswig-Holstein in 1835, knowing they will never see their families again.

Download or read book Frontier Ways written by Edward Everett Dale and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic account of what day-to-day life was like for cowboys and pioneer families in the American West. Born in a log cabin in 1879—Edward Everett Dale sought education and become a prolific and versatile professional writer—but always remained rooted in his close connection to the frontier. He lived in a sod house, and once rode the range as cook to a group of cowboys. His life experiences brought exceptional authenticity to his work, including this classic first-hand account of the way pioneers lived. In Frontier Ways he describes all aspects of frontier life: the building of a home, the problems of finding wood and water, the procuring and cooking of food, medical practices, and the cultural, social, and religious life of pioneer families. Lively and involving, this collection of his essays has allowed generations of readers to look back on the West’s fascinating past. “At times [Dale] was the serious scholarly research-bent historian, but more often he was the folklorist, humorist, on-the-spot frontier reporter.” —Great Plains Journal
