A little known story of the heroic efforts of the small village of
Solomon's Island to waylay the British fleet after they burned the
public buildings in Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812. This
historical fiction accurately explains the events of the invasion
of Washington and the bombardment of Fort McHenry.
Many great accounts of the fateful night of April 14th and 15th of
1912 have been told about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Over the
past one hundred and one years, the stories of the people and the
disaster have been explained in art, movies, books, music and
verse. This book begins with an original poem I have written to
commemorate the ship's first, last and only voyage and the heroics
demonstrated by some of those souls on board, some who survived and
others who did not. Other wonderful and historic poems from the
years immediately following the disaster are included here along
with musical tributes, some of which can be linked to hear historic
renditions on ebooks and computers. Some of the poems are famous,
while others were penned by unknown poets. Newspapers of the day
found that they received unsolicited poems by the hundreds on a
daily basis - so many that the editor of the New York Times penned
an editorial declaring many to be unworthy. The editorial concluded
with a harsh admonition to its readers that simply because one had
pen and paper didn't anoint them with the talent of a poet.
Newspapers of today tend to be considerably friendlier to their
declining readerships. What all those who wrote the poems of the
Titanic shared in common was the desire of those authors to express
shock, despair and sorrow in all the depths of human emotion. In
addition, the very best attributes of character, heroics and
courage were described in verse and song as exhibited or even
imagined to have been displayed by the valiant on board the
Titanic. Included here are two original poems penned by me along
with my favorite story about the hero dog of the Titanic, Rigel,
which I tell to visitors at the Titanic Museums in Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee and Branson, Missouri, where I hope to see you when you
visit. - Ken Rossignol

Eleven Deadly Days in the Caribbean Join Marsha & Danny Jones
as they face the greatest threat yet to the Sea Empress and her
passengers on a wonderful cruise to the Caribbean - with a serial
killer on board A fascinating group of people have joined the
cruise to the warm and sunny islands, from famous authors to
stalking reviewers, a country music legend and a top FBI agent sent
to help track down a killer. Danger lurks every day as the body
count begins. When will it all end? Only The Shadow knows for sure
The strife and horrors of the Civil War in America were raw with
the wounds of the war lasting for decades; and affecting those who
lived in both the North and the South. As the nation struggled to
find unity, the forces of darkness and of those who wished to rule
through intimidation and terror, spread their wicked ways under the
cover of white sheets. This is the story of the Ku Klux Klan and
their chief brand: Lynchings, as told in the original newspaper
stories from journals across the nation. Some are brief, telling
only of a single attack while others are more comprehensive and
detailed, telling the story with the inclusion of complex and
emotional occurrences. The attempt of the KKK to cloak the power of
control over others with fear and violence is explained in some of
these news stories. The chief advocate and leader of the Klan was
interviewed by reporters and allowed fair access to give his side
of the story. The heroism of various groups such as the NAACP and
others who risked their lives standing up to thugs and criminals is
also noted, as well as the words of those individuals and leaders
who fought to eliminate the influence of the Ku Klux Klan. While
the KKK had as much right as any group to demonstrate and
articulate their cause, the deceits and criminal actions employed
by them separated their group from the legal actions of others. For
readers in the 21st Century who know little of the life and death
of the KKK, the admonition to understand and know history in order
to avoid repeating it, should be considered. Therefore, it is in
that hope that this book has been prepared. WARNING: Authentic
descriptions are vivid and brutal and the racially charged language
of this historic news reports and commentary has not been modified.
This material is for adults and parental guidance is appropriate.
