For twenty-six straight seasons from 1978 to 2003 Mount Saint
Charles Academy captured the hearts of its fans and the state s
high school hockey championship. Attributing the streak to a
near-mystical force called Mount Pride, beloved coach Bill Belisle
and his team have built the most successful hockey program in Rhode
Island. In the thrilling 2013 season, they recaptured the Mount
glory as state champions. Yet the high school hockey team is much
more than its wins and losses it s a culture and a family.
Beginning with the earliest days when Rhode Island s four-team
league took to the frozen ponds with tree branches serving as
rudimentary hockey sticks, author Bryan Ethier chronicles the
history of the MSC Flying Frenchmen. Join Ethier as he takes to the
ice with the great games, the star players and the unforgettable
moments to tell the remarkable story of Mount Saint Charles Hockey.
The DeAutremont brothers were looking for a big score. They brought
dynamite, guns and a getaway car. On October 11, 1923, at the
summit of the Siskiyou Mountains in southern Oregon, the three
young men held up a passenger train, with disastrous consequences.
Their rash actions resulted in the tragic deaths of three Southern
Pacific trainmen and one U.S. Mail clerk, unleashing a public
outcry that still rings through Oregon's history. In this riveting
account, rail historian Scott Mangold draws on interviews, in-depth
research and previously unpublished maps and photographs to
document the events at Tunnel 13. Join Mangold as he chronicles the
resulting four-year manhunt and eventual conviction of the
DeAutremonts and provides insight into the lives derailed by the
robbery's bitter legacy.
Cape May began as Cape May Island, where families journeyed to
enjoy wide white beaches and gentle surf during the early
nineteenth century. With the advent of steamships and railroads,
the quiet village soon became America's first seaside resort town.
Despite its charm and elegance, visitors slowed in the 1880s, as a
series of mysterious fires claimed some of its most beloved
structures. As the twentieth century dawned, Cape May's failure to
modernize ultimately became its salvation. By the 1960s, visitors
were once again flocking to this seaside destination to enjoy its
quaint Victorian charm. Experience the elegant Chalfonte Hotel,
stately Congress Hall and the classic Cape May Boardwalk with local
historian Emil Salvini.

Scientists, thinkers and writers in the Scottish Enlightenment used
'commonplace notebooks' to record thoughts and ideas. Many British
writers such as Virginia Woolf and Arthur Conan Doyle continued to
use them. Tartan belongs to Scottish heritage and culture, and
thrives today both at home and overseas. There are now over 7,000
tartans officially recorded in the Scottish Register of Tartans
located within the National Archive of Scotland. Waverley Books
(Waverley Scotland) are delighted to innovate on the commonplace
notebook idea with the Waverley tartan notebooks bound in genuine
tartan cloth supplied by kilt makers and tailors Kinloch Anderson,
