"Funny and fearful true stories of witches, innocent victims and their accusers in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Curses that seemingly worked their magic and cures by healers that begot them the gallows. Emphasis is on Salem Village in 1692, where 20 accused of witchcraft were executed."

"Most of the servants who came to the New World with the Pilgrims and Puritans were Irish and Scots-Irish, yet their names were not recorded for posterity. The Irish snuck into Boston by the hundreds in the 1600s and by the thousands in the early 1700s. The famed Boston Massacre was really an Irish Massacre, since most who participated on both sides were Irish. The greatest American privateersman was Irish, and many of Washington's generals were Irish, as were a high percentage of his troops. If you're of Irish blood, this is the book for you!"

How did America with no Navy and no weapons defeat the greatest naval power in the world? This book tells you how, and also tells who the real heroes were in the Revolutionary War. George Washington started his own navy with Marblehead fishermen -- most of whom George didn't like at all -- and the first ship of the navy turned out to be a dud - the crew mutinied, the commander was fired, and the ship ended up on a sandbar.

"An award-winning book about the travels and battles of the Vikings in North America, taken from ancient Norwegian writings. Evidence is presented on how and why the Vikings' ""Vinland"" was actually Cape Cod, and could not have been anywhere else. Indian histories also reveal Viking landings here, as do recently discovered artifacts. This book traces Vikings and Indians in battle up through King Philip's War."

"George Twelvetrees Hewes wasn't a midget, but he was close. After his funny exploits during the American Revolution, he wrote a journal, and the author uses this journal to weave his tantalizing true story of those great and little known characters who won our independence from England. People like Revere, John Adams and Hancock were not considered heroes by their co-patriots, whereas the eccentric Otis and the crafty Warren were the real leaders, their names are almost forgotten now. A real insight into the courage, humor and day-to-day lives of our revolutionaries."

"Most 17th and 18th century pirates came from New England and New York. They spent winters in the tropics pilaging and came north to rob in the summer months. Most of their treasures were buried here, closer to their homes, yet little has been uncovered. This book tells about the most notorious pirates who frequented the New England coast, including Kidd and Blackbeard, and describes treasure, thus far found mostly on the outer islands, and where unfound treasures might be uncovered."
