Download or read book Stories From Marthas Vineyard 23 stories myths and legends from Martha s Vineyard Nantucket Block Island and Cape Cod written by Various and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VINLAND, Claudia and Cabo de la Arenas have been but a few of the names given previously to Cape Cod. As far back as 985AD the Cape had been visited by the likes of the Viking, Leif Eiriksson, although this is disputed, Giovanni da Verrazzano (1524AD), Estêvão Gomes (1525AD), Samuel de Champlain (1606AD), Bartholomew Gosnold (1602AD), Henry Hudson (1609AD) and Captain John Smith (1614AD). It was Gosnold who had the honor and privilege of being the final arbiter of the Cape’s name in 1602. With such a long history it is therefore not surprising that much has been written and said about Cape Cod. Herein readers will find 23 such stories, collected from various sources, with origins in Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod and Block Island. Stories like: The Headless Skeleton of Swamptown, The Crow And Cat Of Hopkinshill, The Old Stone Mill, The Windam Frogs, Moodus Noises and many more. Appropriately, the book is commenced with a facsimile of The Mayflower Compact and ends with the Story of King Philip, Grand Sachem and Chief of the Wampanoag Tribe. MARTHA'S VINEYARD, called "Noepe" by the Native Americans, which in their picturesque language means "In the Midst of the Sea," is the largest island on the south-eastern coast of Massachusetts. However, there are those who correctly point out that there is no such place as Martha's Vineyard, except in geography and common speech. That it’s correct name is Martin Wyngaard's Island, so was named by Skipper Block, an Albany Dutchman. Sea fog is not uncommon in the area. When a fog started rising the Native Americans would say, "Here comes old Maushope's smoke"—but you will have to read the book to find out just why they say this.
Download or read book STORIES OF GEORGIA USA 27 illustrated stories written by Joel Chandler Harris and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the storyteller behind the Uncle Remus stories comes a young person's history of Georgia. Herein are 27 stories about prominent people and events in the History of the State of Georgia which stretch from the Spanish explorations of De Soto through the founding of the Georgia Colony, the War of Independence and the American Civil War to the post war peace. These stories are accompanied by 45 pen and ink illustrations by an unknown artist. Today, more than one hundred years later, the timeless appeal of these stories makes them an interesting and valuable item of Georgiana. Some of the stories in this volume are: A Search For Treasure. Oglethorpe And His Gentle Colony The Empress Of Georgia Aunt Nancy Hart. A Negro Patriot. The Yazoo Fraud The Cotton Gin. The Creeks And The Creek War Two Famous Indian Chiefs. A Queer Case. Georgia Wit And Humor. Slavery And Secession. Georgia In The War. A Daring Adventure. The Reconstruction Period. In preparing the pages in this volume, Joel Chandler Harris (1848 – 1908) has had in view the desirability of familiarizing the Citizens of Georgia with the salient facts of the State's history in a way that shall make the further study of that history not only interesting, but also a delight. The characterizations herein were for the first time brought together from many sources which, at the time, were little known and, at the time, out of print. However, the history of Georgia from 1896 (when this book was published) until the present now exists in altogether different locations. Considering Chandler-Harris compiled and penned this volume aged about 35, here’s an opportunity for a budding young author to add an addendum and bring this volume up to date…. 10% of the publisher’s profit will be donated to Charities. ------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: Stories from Georgia, Joel Chandler-Harris, action, active, adventure, Adams, American, American Civil War, Andrews, army, attack, Augusta, Mary Aunt Nancy, Austin, Bosomworth, Brer Rabbit, British, Brown, Bunkley, camp, Captain, Carolina, charge, Cherokees, Clarke, Colonel, colonists, Colony, commander, condition, Congress, convention, cotton gin, County, courage, Crawford, Creeks, declare, dollars, Dooly, duty, Elijah, England, expedition, Florida, Fuller, General, Georgia, Government, Governor, history, war of independence, Indians, Jackson, James, Judge, King, Legislature, Liberty, locomotive, Longstreet, Major, march, Matthews, McGillivray, Mcintosh, militia, Mississippi, money, movement, nationhood, negroes, North, officers, Oglethorpe, peace, President, Province, queen, Revolution, River, Robert, Sallette, Savannah, secession, slaves, soldiers, South, Spaniards, spirit, State, Thomas, Toombs, Tories, Railway train, USA, Uncle Remus, United states, villages, Washington, Whitney, William, wounded, Yazoo Fraud

Phebe fell to her knees and prayed, prayed for an answer to this Apocalypse, which was surely directed at her alone. And when at last she found the courage to look up, it became clear what God wanted of her. She had suffered enough. She had endured loneliness enough. She had done her penance for whatever sin she had committed. God would shed his mercy on her at last. Phebe knew what his wish for her was, and she was prepared to comply.
