"Deerskins and Duffels" documents the trading relationship in the eighteenth century between the Creek Indians and the Anglo-American peoples who settled in what is now the southeastern United States. The Creeks were the largest Indian nation in the Southeast, and through their trade alliance with the British colonies, they became the dominant Native power in the area.
The deerskin trade became the economic lifeblood of the Creeks after European contact. This book is the first to examine extensively the Creek side of this trade, especially the impact of commercial hunting on all aspects of Indian society. British trade is examined as well: the major traders and trading companies, how goods were taken to the Indians, how the traders lived, and how trade was used as a diplomatic tool. The author also discusses the Creek-Anglo cooperation in the trade of Indian slaves that resulted in the virtual destruction of the Native peoples of Florida. This second edition features a new introduction by the author.

William Bartram traveled throughout the American Southeast from 1773-1776. He occupies a unique place as an American Enlightenment explorer, naturalist, writer, and artist whose work was widely admired in his time and thereafter. Coleridge, the Wordsworths, and other leading romantics found inspiration in his pages. Bartram's most famous work, Travels has remained in print since the first publication of the book in 1791. However, his writings on Indians have received less attention than they deserve. This volume contains all of Bartram's known writings on Native Americans: a new version of "Observations on the Creek and Cherokee Indians," originally edited by E. G. Squier and first published in 1853; a previously unpublished essay, "Some Hints and Observations Concerning the Civilization of the Indians, or Aborigines of America"; and extensive excerpts from Travels. These documents are among the most valuable accounts we have of the Creeks and Seminoles in the last half of the eighteenth century. Several illustrations by Bartram are also included. The editors provide information on the history of these documents and supply extensive annotations. The book opens with a biographical essay on Bartram and concludes with a thorough evaluation of his contributions to southeastern Indian ethnohistory, anthropology, and archaeology. The editors have identified and corrected a number of errors found in the extant literature concerning Bartram and his writings.

This life of the sainted missionary, John Francis Regis, of the Society of Jesus, was undertaken by the author very much as a labor of love, and not altogether without a certain sense of justice, so to speak, toward a man highly honored in his own country, but of whom English-speaking readers of sacred biography know scarcely anything at all. Or, if indeed, a few may perhaps have heard of Saint Regis, still their ideas have been so obscured by the clouds of misunderstanding and even calumny which overshadowed the man himself, when he lived, that it were better to know nothing at all than to lend credence to some of the things said of this Saint, -for instance, that he was headstrong and untractable, that he was even dismissed from the Society of Jesus. It is the aim of this biography to tell in a simple and straightforward way the true story of what manner of man Saint John Francis Regis really was. The so-called "ultra-pious" method has been avoided, -yet, on the other hand, the idea of some recent writers, who seem to delight in emphasizing the human failings of the saints, is considered a more serious fault than over-idealization, and so finds no place in this book.

The Truth, was inspired by a conversation the author had over lunch one day about Jesus. The prevailing thought in many circles is that He was no more than a prophet. Carl E. Holland set out to prove from Scripture that Jesus was more than just a prophet or a good man. He was God who came to Earth in human form to provide redemption for mankind. This study is an exciting examination of who Jesus was in eternity past, His role in dealing with the rebellion of Satan, who Jesus is today, and what He will be doing in the future. Holland reveals that Jesus was the One who created all things through a thorough examination of creation. His role in heaven as the Head of the Church is explained, and Holland delves into prophetic fulfillment to uncover Jesus' future role in the ages to come. Carl E. Holland brings twenty years of award-winning investigative journalism, and another twenty years of pastoral experience together to provide straight-shooting answers to some of the toughest questions on the minds of this generation. He has reached thousands of people through his standing-room-only live presentations, audio series, books, and other print media. His communication style provides what are sometimes complicated facts, to a post-modern generation in a way that captures the attention of young and old alike. Whether teaching in a mega-church or a homeless shelter, his jargon-free delivery of complex biblical truths makes him one of America's top theological teachers. Carl spent sixteen years as a pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in Virginia. He has since established Carl Holland Ministries, and has authored four other biblically-oriented books. He currently lives with his wife of 44 years, Diane, in eastern Virginia.

Shout It From The Housetops is a story dealing with the "Testimony of Jesus." Revelation 19:10 says, "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Throughout history God has always wanted His people to tell others about the great things He has done. That Scripture in Revelation tells us that when we do, those stories create a spiritual environment in which great miracles can take place. God also said that the stories that He has given us, both in His Word and personally, are part of our eternal inheritance. Jesus told us what we have heard in secret we should shout from the housetops. This book is an effort to get the reader to understand those concepts and to arm them with some of the Bible's "stories," starting with Israel's deliverance from slavery in Egypt, which they can then begin to tell others.

This book has been Carl Holland's passion for years. He has studied healing and miracles all his adult life, and has read many books on the subject, but the final authority is always the Word of God. In addition to studying about miracles, he has been teaching on them several years, both to big classes and small groups While pastoring York Assembly of God, in Yorktown, Virginia for more than sixteen years, he taught them to his congregation. Carl has had a tremendous love for the Word of God since he was a little boy. He teaches this subject to anyone who will listen, whenever and wherever he can. He now resides in Gloucester County, Virginia, with his wife of forty-four years and his beloved Rottweiler, "Paul's Troubleshooter, Titus." He has two adult children, both of whom are involved in full-time ministry, and two grandsons who already know how to believe for miracles. I have seen miracles, studied them, participated in them, and taught about them. What I have found is that most of the Church today doesn't understand that Jesus never told us to pray to Him, and then He would heal the sick for us, rather He told His disciples, and us, "Go and preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand; heal the sick . . . ." This book studies the Scriptures and looks at the historical precedence of the early Church. It's an exciting study and one that will be very practical when the next great revival hits America.

The book of Revelation has been Carl Holland's passion for the past forty-three years. When he first started studying it, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, and Dr. John Walvoord of Dallas Theological Seminary were among his favorite authors. Since then he has added volumes to his library; some critical commentaries like the ones by Joseph Seiss and J. Dwight Pentecost, others less technical studies. To date he has studied more than twenty-seven volumes of material from other writers; with some of them he agreed and with others he did not. In addition to studying this book for most of his adult life, he has been teaching it almost as many years, having taught big groups and small groups, from Charismatic to traditional denominational churches. When pastoring York Assembly of God, in Yorktown, Virginia for more than sixteen years, he taught it to his congregation for more than a year. Having a tremendous love for the Bible, Carl has had that passion since he was a little boy who used to put his Sunday School lesson on top of the family clothes hamper and teach his brother and sister; she has now gone on to be with the Lord. Carl teaches this book to anyone who will listen, whenever and wherever he can. Having spent twenty years in broadcast journalism before becoming a pastor, he saw the book of Revelation as a commentary on world events. It still holds that lofty position in his thinking, even more so as these events are rapidly approaching. Carl Holland now resides in Gloucester County, Virginia, with his wife of forty-four years, and his beloved Rottweiler, "Paul's Troubleshooter, Titus." He has two adult children, both of whom are involved in full-time ministry.
