Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little tavern seemed abandoned when Paulus and his men arrived; Roman soldiers desperate for food and shelter were grateful for what they found. There was more: a female slave left behind, sick unto death and hidden behind the cellar. Paulus kept her secret from the others and when he was injured as the soldiers moved on, Gilda in turn saved his life. So began the saga of the Gildersons, hosts of the One Bull Inn for fifteen hundred years. From wine shop to ale house to secret club and facing transformation again in the twentieth century, the One Bull saw love and happiness, sacrifice, murder, suicide-and miracles. Next to it stood a chapel where lay the body of an ancient and holy British king. It was said that no one who asked for help in prayer at Cerdic's tomb came away without their miracle and it was true- though often the miracle was what was truly needed, not what had been requested. Woven together through history, the Inn and the chapel guided the Gildersons' lives until the day when one final choice had to be made; to dispose of the past or to rebuild it in hope just one more time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first visual and narrative account of the American Revolution told through tales about the Colonial-era inns, taverns, and alcoholic beverages that shaped it, Taverns of the American Revolution is equal parts history, trivia, coffee-table book, and travel guide. A Complete Guide to the Spirits of 1776 In 1737, Benjamin Franklin published “The Drinker’s Dictionary,” a compendium of more than two hundred expressions for drinking and drunkenness, such as “oil’d,” “fuzl’d,” and “half way to Concord.” Nearly forty years later, the same barrooms that fostered these terms over bowls of rum punch helped sow the seeds of revolution. Taverns of the American Revolution presents the boozing and schmoozing that went on in some of America’s most historic watering holes, revealing the crucial role these public houses played as meeting places for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and their fellow Founding Fathers in the struggle for independence. More than a retelling of the Revolutionary War, this unique volume takes readers on a tour of more than twenty surviving colonial taverns; features period artwork, maps, and cocktail recipes; and is filled with trivia and anecdotes about the drinking habits of colonial Americans. From history buffs and those interested in colonial architecture and art to tavern goers, beer aficionados, trivia lovers, and those keen on hitting a few historic pubs on their road trip through the original thirteen colonies, this one-of-a-kind compendium is the ultimate guide to the taverns that helped spark a revolution. Includes: -Commentary on more than twenty surviving colonial taverns Period artwork, maps, and documents -A detailed time line of the events leading up to, during, and immediately after the American Revolution -Six colonial cocktail recipes -A comprehensive index of more than one hundred fifty surviving colonial taverns -An abundance of little-known facts and anecdotes that will have you owning your next pub quiz trivia night

Book excerpt: "The poems in the collection are told by a group of adults in the tavern of the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, 20 miles from the poet's home in Cambridge, and a favorite resort for parties from Harvard College. The narrators are friends of the author who, though they were not named, were so plainly characterized as to be easily recognizable. Among those of wider fame are Ole Bull, the violinist, and Thomas William Parsons, the poet and translator of Dante. Each of the three parts has a prelude and a finale, and there are interludes which link together the tales and introduce the narrators." --
