Many years ago, I found this handwritten doctor’s recipe book in a trunk in my grandmother’s attic along with a first edition Longfellow’s Wayside Inn and other books from the mid-1800’s. It is a clear depiction of the life of a doctor during the early years of Michigan history. For years, we wondered who this doctor was, and how this book came into our possession. We traced it back to the lumber baron's house in Lewiston. But the whole story of Dr. Wallace A. Hale, a grandson of Nathaniel Wallace, aide to George Washington in the Revolutionary War, was revealed through an Internet search, and ultimately led us to his living descendants. 
I have wanted to restore and publish this book for many years, and finally decided to print the original pages from the book with facing pages that transcribes the handwritten script, along with coded ingredients and the old English apothecary system of weights and measures that was replaced in 1864. Keep in mind that dictionaries were still not common then, so some detective work was necessary to match the spellings. This give a picture of how medicine was used in the 19th century and how many of these remedies are still used today. The original book is part of a collection donated to the State of Michigan Archives.

Douglas B Sharp

This, the fifth edition of a classic book, covers the modern revolution against Darwinian evolution. It was written by a long-time veteran of the movement pushing back against evolution. Sharp had the foresight to pioneer a website in 1995, www.rae.org, appropriately called Revolution against Evolution when the use of this format was just in its infancy. Sharp's book covers, not only the problems with evolution, but also some of the problems with some of the creation alternatives. Creationism is a movement involving many diverse people, not all who agree with the details. Consequently, different schools of thought called models exist in the movement. For example, he covers the various Flood models that attempt to explain the global Flood of Noah's day. Although disagreement exists on the creation models, large agreement exists on the major scientific problems with evolution. Sharp does a good job summarizing this area. He shows that evolution [Neo-Darwinism] is based on only two pillars, genetic variety produced by mutations that are selected by the process called survival of the fittest. The problem with this foundation is the vast majority of mutations are near neutral, harmful or deleterious. It is a very rare mutation that is clearly beneficial. Furthermore, no selector exists selecting the best organisms as the natural selection theory implies. Survival depends on time, chance and fortuitous events, in short, luck. Before any selection can occur, functional genetic variety must first exist, a problem that existed in Darwin's day and still exists today. Sharp also deals with theistic evolution, showing that this worldview is a compromise based on the factious belief that evolution has been scientifically confirmed, and is a viable alternative to creationism. Only when Darwinism has been empirically verified do we need to be concerned with explaining how it could be explained in harmony with the Scriptures. Sharp shows theistic evolution cannot be supported by the scriptures, nor by science. The two worldviews are in irreconcilable conflict. In short, if the facts and science are carefully considered, Darwinism cannot be defended. The only reason it is still around is because it is the worldview of the atheists and secularists, and aggressively defended by the courts. Without the legal defense by the courts it would not continue to thrive. If Darwinism could survive on its own, it would not need the legal defense of organizations, such as the National Center for Science Education, which claims it is the "only national organization that specializes in defending the teaching of evolution against creationist attacks. Let it defend itself in the court of public opinion instead of relying on lawyers and specious claims that one side of the debate is religions and the other side is science. Both sides of the debate have science elements, and both sides have worldview implications. Something is grievously wrong when both sides of a scientific question is prevented by law from being debated in taxpayer-supported public schools.
