Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1889, during the Great Depression of British Agriculture, the Harnett farm in Kent, England, was suffering financially. With Britain’s refusal to tax grain imports their farm could no longer support a family of eleven children. Ernest and Julia Harnett had a hard decision to make — either leave their beloved England or give up six of their youngest children. It was something they would not do. A letter from a friend who had moved to Southern California wrote of an alcohol free, religious community, with good farm land. They made up their minds. They would move to the American Colony — created a few years earlier by a fellow Englishman, William Willmore. There they would create a new life on the Pacific Squab and Poultry Farm. Follow their journey across the Atlantic and explore their new home — an area called Burnett, close to Signal Hill, which would eventually become part of Long Beach, California. Get to know each of the members of the Harnett family through the eyes of Ivy Harnett, the first of three children to be born in America. There is Jane (Bessie), a teacher, who left an indelible mark on California history; Norah and Josie who found love and marriage in faraway Alaska; Anne, the artist; Kathleen, the top student graduate at UC Berkley; Ethel; Helen; Jack, the engineer; Tom and his milling company; Edward and Frank, Long Beach civil servants who contributed much to the growth of the city. Learn of the tragic deaths of Geoffrey, Caroline, and the patriarch of the family, Ernest Harnett, struck by a hit and run driver a few weeks after his daughter Jane’s death. This true story, is sure to entertain, taking readers to a past that once was, and a family who refused to leave any child behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amador City is a small Gold Rush era town in Amador County, which has more dead than living. The .3 square mile hamlet of just 201 “living” souls is the smallest incorporated city in California. It was once the center of a thriving mining industry, with over 1000 residents. The town has seen its population ebb and flow, along with mining. It has experienced several fires, and frequent deaths. It is a city with much history lying buried along with many who once called it home. It is a city where fortunes were made. There was Alvinza Hayward, who consulted mediums before staking a mining claim, and well-known individuals such as Leland Stanford and George Hearst. However, there were many who never found the elusive gold that evaded them in life. Perhaps their spirits are responsible for the orbs of light seen flashing through Amador City’s buildings, and the ethereal voices still heard echoing along the banks of Amador Creek. Some spirits have been seen in physical form, others seemingly expressing themselves through moving objects, cold spots and unexplained noises. Then there are those wandering souls still seeking a resolution to their murder, restless miners whose deaths could have been avoided, and suicides who ended their lives abruptly. It is a city where the past still haunts the present. Read and explore tales of the dead and more — forgotten byways, neighboring towns that have disappeared, robberies, saloon brawls and how 1872 mining claim laws are still in effect, and how you too, may become rich by becoming a present-day gold miner.
