A Guide Book of Washington Quarters

Everyone knows that there is only one form of American currency, the product of a single issuer. That currency is the greenback, and the issuer is the federal government. But this arrangement has not always been the rule: for much of our nation's history (including its most dynamic period of growth) there was no federal currency in circulation. Instead, Americans spent currency issued by private banks and other businesses. We call these pieces of private money obsolete bank notes, and they form the basis of this outstanding new book by Richard Doty, senior curator of the Smithsonian's National Numismatic Collection. What do the designs and images on these notes tell us about the United States of the 1800s? How did we Americans view women, children, family, the workplace, racial minorities, new technology? Can these obsolete bank notes serve as "pictures from a distant country"-snapshots from the United States of yesteryear? Hundreds of detailed images of these private notes illustrate Doty's engaging text. Pictures From a Distant Country is a must-read for every collector, and for anyone interested in our nation's colorful past. <ul>

Historical

Richard Gipson Gayle and his family had the world on a string. "Gip" was a star student-athlete; active in school, sports, church, and youth groups; just starting college and already making new friends. Dad's business was booming, Mom had just started a dream job, and younger brother Taylor was about to follow in Gip's footsteps in high school.
 Then the unimaginable happened — a horrific hunting accident in rural Georgia — the news no parent wants to get — 
 Your son has been shot in the head, at close range, with a twelve-gauge shotgun!
 Gip Gayle was not expected to survive the night. The complexity of his injuries was beyond the realm of normal medicine and surgery. His story of survival is one of brilliant surgeons racing against the clock. ..of powerful forces coming together from the most surprising sources. ..of a family threatened by despair and overwhelming odds...
 And Then Came the Angels.
 Ultimately this is the story of earthly angels who rallied the Gayle family's faith and determination.
 If you've ever had doubt or felt your strength slipping in the face of fear, this dramatic real-life account will energize you and renew your courage.
