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research and previously unpublished maps and photographs to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.

With the popularity of the cob rising year by year, it's time to
extol the virtues of this humble hero of the horse world. Cobs Can!
is an instructional training book specifically geared to cob riders
who want to improve their flatwork and jumping. Using kind and
gentle training methods that work with (not against) the typical
cob's nature and build, Omar Rabia shows that it's perfectly
possible to train these wonderful creatures to advanced levels. The
book includes lateral work in walk, trot and canter, as well as
piaffe, passage and Spanish walk. There are tips on jumping and
exercises to improve technique. Most of all the book is a
celebration of achievement, of what's possible when the versatile
cob and a thoughtful rider combine their efforts - proving that
cobs really can!
