What if, at the dawn of the American nation, Army officers plotted successfully to overthrow Congress and enthrone George Washington as King of the United States?

Time has passed, and the year is 1925. Ravaged by more than a century of revolutions, the Union is falling apart. American King Augustine grovels at the feet of the British Empire, begging aid for his bankrupt kingdom. His war against the Republic of Louisiana is a resounding disaster. Repeatedly smashed by the enemy, the starved U.S. Army is fleeing the battlefield.

An evil cult on the loose in the nation's capital of Philadelphia has thrown the city into a hysterical frenzy. Unfortunately for the royals, the cult's main gateway to Hell is hidden somewhere in the palace.

The kingdom is desperate for a warrior saint to deliver it from evil. Americans look to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Johnny Washington-Bourbon as the perfect savior. He flies combat missions and heals with his touch. The people adore him. Sworn enemies put aside their differences to join his crusade.

There's just one problem--twelve-year-old Johnny has far more courage than common sense, and his harebrained schemes to save America are disasters waiting to happen.

In many African American families, there have been discussions about Native American family connections. This historical fiction picture book, More than One Ancestry: Part 2, serves as an example of how such connections and disconnections were made. This informative book was written to inspire research into family ties and to foster interest in family reunions for readers ages 8 and older. The main characters, Jeremy and his great-grandfather, appeared in the author's first book, Patriots of African Descent in the Revolutionary War: Part 1. Marion T. Lane is a retired public school educator. Originally from Philadelphia, she now resides in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. "As a child, I had many questions about my family's Native American connections and disconnections but could not get answers." Her next book is titled Colonial Times.

"Paper-weights," observed Patty, sucking an injured thumb, "were evidently not made for driving in tacks. I wish I had a hammer."

This remark called forth no response, and Patty peered down from the top of the step-ladder at her roommate, who was sitting on the floor dragging sofa-pillows and curtains from a dry-goods box.

"Priscilla," she begged, "you aren't doing anything useful. Go down and ask Peters for a hammer."

Priscilla rose reluctantly. "I dare say fifty girls have already been after a hammer."

"Oh, he has a private one in his back pocket. Borrow that. And, Pris," -- Patty called after her over the transom, -- "just tell him to send up a man to take that closet door off its hinges."
