This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. A NIGHT OF PERIL AND OF ACTION. Dark night, that from the eye his function takes. The eye more quick of apprehension makes. Midsummer Night's Dream. When the suppressed step of the Indian was heard on the lower floor, the Forest Spy leaned as far out of the window as possible, and holding his rifle for an instant by the muzzle, dropped it to the ground. As the weapon left his hand, the lower portion was but a few feet from the earth, and it descended this short distance without losing its uprightness, falling upon the stock, and tipping lightly against the house as if placed there by the owner himself. This done, the latter drew his head back, and awaited to see whether it attracted attention. It appeared to have been unheard, for he saw no one appear; but, in the few secondsnecessarily consumed in doing this, the footsteps in the lower room had increased by the sounds to full a dozen, and were now heard pattering upon the floor, like the passing hither and thither of so many cats. There was not a moment to be lost, for the next instant the heads of the Creeks might appear. Running his feet quickly and noiselessly through the opening, he forced himself out until he hung by his hands, when, balancing himself in this position for a few moments, he dropped lightly to the ground, and, seizing his rifle, ran a few yards, and dropped flat on his face behind a large stump. As he did so, he heard a slight disturbance at the window he had left; and, although he could detect nothing suspicious, yet from the peculiar suppressed rattle, he rightly judged it was made by Nockwynee in replacing the sash, so as to conceal all evidence of his departure. Most fortunately his escape from the building had not attracted the attention of the Creeks; but he saw, with some...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical history of spy fiction, film and television in the United States, with a particular focus on the American fictional spies that rivaled (and were often influenced by) Ian Fleming's James Bond. James Fenimore Cooper's Harvey Birch, based on a real-life counterpart, appeared in his novel The Spy in 1821. While Harvey Birch's British rivals dominated spy fiction from the late 1800s until the mid-1930s, American spy fiction came of age shortly thereafter. The spy boom in novels and films during the 1960s, spearheaded by Bond, heavily influenced the espionage genre in the United States for years to come, including series like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Matt Helm. The author demonstrates that, while American authors currently dominate the international spy fiction market, James Bond has cast a very long shadow, for a very long time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Michaels, Maryland, is a town of shipbuilders whose reputation for crafting powerful schooners carries far beyond the shores of young America. And once the War of 1812 starts, that's not necessarily a good thing. For the British have targeted the town as part of their campaign to defeat America in its fight to maintain its independence. And now, in August of 1813 the British fleet is sailing up the Chesapeake River to St. Michaels. The town's militia is assembled but no one expects they can win the fight against the powerful British cannons. Citizens are being evacuated and the town is in turmoil. All young Henry Middle wants to do is find his father amid the chaos of the coming attack. The lanterns he carries will be of use to the militia. As Henry works to conquer his rising fear, he realizes he may hold the answer to outsmarting the British in his very hands. Lisa Papp studied at Iowa State University College of Design and at Du Cret School for the Arts. The Town that Fooled the British marks her authorial debut. Lisa illustrated the Pennsylvania number book, One for All, and collaborated with husband Rob on P is for Princess: A Royal Alphabet.
