A Ruinous and Unhappy War: New England and the War of 1812

Anticipating the harm another war with England would bring, New England’s regional leaders opposed it from the outset. Party politics played a major role. Federalists, dominant in the northeast, at every turn badgered and challenged the war policies of the administration and its majority Democratic–Republican Party. New England’s churchmen, still heavily influenced by Puritanism, railed against the ungodly actions of the national government. But economic issues proved to be a greater source of dissension. From earliest times, New England had been tied to the sea. Merchants, fishermen, and others dependent on an open ocean were devastated by the embargoes and blockades of the war. Unemployment deepened, businesses failed, and privation spread. This book pulls together material from period sources (diaries, journals, logs, letters, government documents, newspapers) scattered throughout the region’s archives, libraries, museums, and town halls. The author enlivens the narrative by blending entertaining tales of common folk with the march of epic events and clashes.

The colorful Captain John "Mad Jack" Percival was a legend in his time. Known as a seaman of uncommon ability and fearlessness, he led such an extraordinary life that he drew the attention of the famous novelists Hawthorne, Melville, and Michener. The fact that his first and last ships are national shrines has only enhanced his reputation. Percival's naval career began in 1797 when he was impressed into British naval service aboard the HMS Victory and ended in 1846 after taking the USS Constitution on her only around-the-world cruise. This book draws from unpublished journals, letters, and logs to provide previously unknown details about his adventures and the formative years of the U.S. Navy. Hailing from Cape Cod and recognized by Congress for meritorious action in the War of 1812, Mad Jack fought against the French and British and had the Constitution off the coast of Mexico when war with that country broke out. In between he chased West Indies pirates and Globe mutineers, tussled with South Pacific chieftains, policed distant American whalers and merchantmen, charted unknown waters, quarreled with missionaries, educated and trained midshipmen, and skirmished with local forces in what is now Vietnam. This work is just as entertaining as the tall tales about this heroic figure spun by generations of seamen, but it is completely true.

An invitation to reassess personal relationships with Christianity through spiritual practice James Ellis' carefully considered book encourages spirit to be placed at the forefront of religious practice, rather than any dogma, in order to encourage true depth of belief. Ellis' approach reverses what has been most widely taught in Christianity: the Holy Trinity, which places the Father first, the Son second and the Holy Spirit third. Following Ellis' own turbulent entanglement with religion, A Call to God provides a guiding framework for a spiritual approach to Christianity. A Call to God embodies a journey, allowing readers to embark on their own exploration of Christianity. The book initially focuses on Ellis' own religious journey, especially in relation to the modern mindset of the 21st century which has resulted in a decrease of religious spirituality. It unpicks the often closed and complex language of Christianity in a clear and practical prose, providing examples of simple places for readers to consider beginning their own journeys. Ellis illuminates and investigates various motifs found in Christianity -- such as grace, humility, the afterlife -- and suggests examples on how to connect them with daily use. The book also includes ten basic exercises readers can use to get in touch with the spirit on a deeper level. A Call to God is a powerful message to consider one's place in the modern, materialist world through reassessment of our own individual spiritual belief.

If there's one thing John Wayne admired, it was someone who could stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves no matter what the day might bring. Parents who know Wayne (and there are millions of them) admire those skills as well and feel strongly about raising their boys to be just as self-reliant. Similarly, boys are interested in learning how to camp, hike, explore and have adventures of their own. At the same time, they're struggling to learn how to effectively transition to adulthood. The Official John Wayne Handy Book for Boys helps them learn both the outdoor skills they need to adventure safely, but also the life skills they need to navigate the real world like responsible young men. The book includes 100 essential skills, tips, activities and lessons for outdoor fun, responsible, safe adventures and real-world competence. Lessons are fully explained and enhanced with full color step-by-step illustrations where needed. From camping and fishing to managing their money, clearning up and everything in between, readers will discover four big sections covering a range of topics, including Outdoor Skills, Self-Sufficiency at Home, Acting Upwards and Fun & Games. The book also includes a foreword by Ethan Wayne, describing what it was like to grow up with such an independent father, a feature on what it means to be "self-sufficient," and a list of Duke's "Dos and Don'ts," which help readers identify the thinking and decision-making that goes into being a good man.
