Book excerpt: A piercing, unforgettable love story set in Greenwood, Oklahoma, also known as the “Black Wall Street,” and against the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family’s financial situation is in turmoil. Though they’ve attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel can’t turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon. But life changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms the Black community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel, and their peers realize who their real enemies are.

This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of the Wilson Family of Kittery, Maine Explorations upon the coast of Maine became frequent soon after 1600. In 1603 Martin Pring was there with two vessels. George Weymouth visited the shores, and sailed up the rivers in 1605. It was he who began the outrages against the Indians, which ended in savage antagonism to the colonists resulting in bloodshed and sorrow for generations. In 1607 the Plymouth Company made an attempt to plant a colony at the mouth of the Kennebec River. This was called the Popham Colony, after Lord John Popham, chief justice of England, and a prominent member of the Plymouth Company. It failed because its people were reckless, care-naught adventurers, picked up at random in the seaports of England. When the settlement was finally abandoned, the colonists carried back to England the most deplorable reports of the character of the country and its inhabitants. The disastrous issue of this attempt discouraged colonization for several years, although there were many private expeditions for the benefits accruing from the fishing and fur trade. In the year 1620, the year the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, seven English ships made voyages to the coast of Maine to trade. Two years later over thirty vessels went to fish there, and made good trips. The thought of colonies in these northern latitudes grew familiar. It is probable that settlements were made at Saco, Pemaquid, Damariscotta, and other places in Maine in 1623. From this time on settlements rapidly increased in number along the coast, and began to spread inland. In 1635 the Plymouth Company, oppressed with losses, expenses and trouble, 1 surrendered its patent to the king. A new company was formed, and Sir Ferdinando Gorges 2 was appointed governor of the whole of New England. The nature of Gorges was generous.
