Dusty diaries, family letters and treasured memorabilia found in a moldy New Orleans basement, reveal the lives of five generations and connect the author with her family's past in a way no history book ever could. These ancestors were formed into shadowy flesh-and-blood people she would recognize on the street if she passed them.

Getting to the Root is a study on the seven deadly sins using seven stories from the Bible. Each story is retold in a fictional style followed by a chapter of exposition. The thesis of the book is that God gives us faith, hope and love as the antidote for sin. Faith, helps us overcome the sins of pride; hope, the sin of sloth and love, the sins of lust. The last chapter is a story about a man who dies and goes to heaven.

THE STORY OF SHELBY WILLIAMS INDUSTRIES.

A legacy of style: Shelby Williams Industries, Inc

The story of the United States Naval Armed Guard, told through the letters of a young recruit from Southern Illinois. Armed Guard sailors protected troops, guns, and other essential materials sent on American and Allied merchant vessels. His gunnery assignments during 1943 and 1944 involved several hazardous Atlantic crossings--as those ships brought food and supplies to war-torn Britain and bombs and ammunition to the Allies fighting in fiercely contested Italy.

"Lone Scout: W. D. Boyce and American Boy Scouting" is the biography of a Progressive-era Chicago businessman and world-wide explorer. Paralleling Theodore Roosevelt in many activities, during his lifetime Boyce (1858-1929) attained international prominence--"a man with friends in almost every civilized country." His sustaining legacy, also a reflection of Roosevelt's interest in and concern for children, was bringing the concept of Boy Scouting to the United States and combining it with youth programs established by the YMCA and other organizations. This is the first authoritative biography of William D. Boyce, founder in 1910 of the Boy Scouts of America. Born to a Pennsylvania farm family, Boyce's monetary successes were as a Chicago newspaper publisher. Between 1887 and the early 1930s, his periodicals were read by millions of subscribers in rural and small-town America. A lifelong adventurer, Boyce made extensive trips to all parts of the world. During World War One, he traveled to Europe on the British luxury liner Lusitania (three months before it was torpedoed by a German submarine). He made two African safaris and spent nearly a year traversing South America. Sending detailed reports of those foreign experiences as articles for his newspapers, the stories were later reprinted in books published by Rand McNally & Company. Among the last hugely successful turn-of-the-century entrepreneurs, Boyce amassed a fortune valued in 1916 at $20 million (approximately $328 million in 2003 value). Perhaps because his death in 1929 occurred on the brink of the Great Depression--a time of vast economic and political change, W. D. Boyce has been virtually forgotten in American history. Yet his accomplishments were many, and his lasting gift is the Scouting program he initiated in 1910 and helped finance through the early years, a program that today serves more than four million American boys.
