New England's Marvelous Monsters

"The Doryman rowed hundreds of miles in a blizzard until his hands froze off; a ship smashes against the rocky coast of Maine and the crew begins eating the cook; a captain ships a rock-hard cargo to the tropics where it begins to disappear and no one will touch it because it burns their skin - what is it? These and many more strange sea stories of fact, including Flotsam and Jetsam and an ongoing curse on submarines."

Transportation

"The first U.F.O. was seen at Boston in 1639, and Gloucester was attacked by visitors from outer space in 1692 -- both incidents are well documented -- and in the next century, the Colonials were plagued by the Flying Black Giant. Flying objects in the form of saucers, steam-irons and cigars were prominent in the 1800s and early 1900s. And of course, each New England state has had its fair share of recent sightings - many by law enforcement personnel. All are described mostly in first-person interviews - and the author spends a night with the famed Betty Hill at a secret U.F.O. airfield in New Hampshire."

Occult & Paranormal

"Our Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers could be brutal, and this book presents their many methods of torture and unusual laws, which all had to abide by. Chapters include: ""Drunk and Disorderly,"" ""Never On Sunday,"" and their wars with witches and Quakers. A description of dungeon tortures will send chills up your spine."

"This is a unique, interesting and often humorous book on how various foods were developed in America, or accquired, often by devious means, in order to fill the bellies and please the pallets of our ancestors. The toil, drudgery and improvising of the Pilgrim and Puritan female cooks is included. New England was America's first ""Bread Basket"" and the ""Sacred Cod"" and ""Blessed Bean"" were the first staples. Chapters in the book include: ""The Great Tomato War,"" ""America's First Fruits,"" and ""Candy, Coffee and the Creature."""

Cooking Education & Reference

"Called the ""Reader's Digest of New England Archaeology,"" by experts in the field, this book covers all finds and sits by amateur and professional ancient artifact hunters since America was first settled. Hundreds of messages were cut into stone by unknown ancient settlers. Carved faces, well-made homes of rock, Celtic ritual sites, dolmens, and other ancient remnants are scattered throughout the New England states, making it quite apparent that visitors from other lands lived here hundreds of years before Columbus discovered America. Ancient coins, weapons, lamps, containers and art objects have been uncovered as well -- all well documented and described, with photos in this fascinating book."
