When an unspeakable tragedy destroys Jennifer Bergin's happy rural
life, she finds herself alone in a torrential sea of manic
depression. Disoriented and confused in her self-imposed solitude,
Jennifer hides from a past that she would sooner forget. Her mind
is being flooded by memories and retrocognitive visions; of a blood
stained statue; of a woman slowly deteriorating in a mental
institution; of a young girl who was robbed of her youth - now
trapped and tortured by a demonic creature. As Jennifer slips
further from reality, she faces a fear greater than anything she
has ever imagined; an urban legend - in the form of a charismatic
gentleman - has unearthed himself to seduce her weakened soul and
lay waste to her already ravaged sanity. The ghost of Nicholas
Feragamo is manipulating Jennifer's dreams into nightmares, and
using her to commit sinister acts of aggression against herself and
the unsuspecting people of the little town of Honey Brook,
Pennsylvania. Some say she suffers from Multiple Personality
Disorder, others suggest she is possessed, but one thing is certain
- Jennifer's life is hanging in the balance between reality and an
ever encroaching darkness. Her only chance of survival is her
estranged husband, Sean, who must pull her from the icy grasp of a
dead man's passion. To do this, he will have to unravel the mystery
behind Jennifer's past and uncover the legend of a man known as the
Incubus.
This is the story of Collett Leventhorpe (1815?1889), an Englishman
and former captain in the 14th Regiment of Foot. Leventhorpe came
to North Carolina about 1843, settled there, and later served the
Confederacy as a colonel in the 34th and 11th N.C. and brigadier
general commanding the Home Guard in eastern North Carolina. Though
he trained as a physician at the College of Charleston in the late
1840s, he never practiced and was a restless man, endlessly in
search of fortune?before the war in the gold fields of North
Carolina and Georgia, and after it in the pursuit of lost estates,
art treasures and inventions. But he excelled first and foremost as
a Confederate soldier. As a field commander he was never defeated
in battle, and his record was marred only by his own rejection of a
much deserved but very late promotion to CSA brigadier. He lies
buried in the beautiful Happy Valley section of Caldwell County.
Politics in Rutherford County were heated a century ago: the
developing textile industry, the growing population, an
agricultural crisis and race relations inflamed everyone. Mills
Higgins Flack, a leader of the Farmers' Alliance and the county's
first Populist in the state House, was allegedly murdered on August
28, 1900, by Avery Mills, an African American. This book documents
the murder and the lynching of Avery Mills. The author (Flack's
great-great-grandson) considers the phenomena of racial lynching,
the Populist movement in the county, the white supremacy movement
of the state's Democratic party and the county's KKK activities.

Fred Cole was youngest child of John Conger Cole and Mary Arville
Osborn and arrived as they both turned forty. Fred brought with him
a series of illnesses which left him fragile and small, a condition
coupled with the fact of the mellowed adulthood of his parents and
the protection of his older siblings that shaped the career of his
life into that of poet and educator. He was a man well-read and of
quick wit, a 1896 graduate of Chesterton High School and of DePauw
University, both in Indiana. For many years he was known as
"Professor Cole" during his years as the Public Schools
Superintendent in Porter County, Indiana. Much of his poetry and
many of his songs were only published in the local newspapers of
the day, dying lonely deaths in the back pages next to columns of
ads for ointments and farm equipment. Soon after his death in 1959,
his surviving, written works were collected and edited for eventual
publication. This is that collection.

America's reliance on space systems drives a requirement for rapid
access to space toreplace failing systems or add new
transformational capabilities so the U.S. maintains its
spacedominance. There are currently studies in progress for a new
spacelift vehicle that can rapidlyrespond to a launch callup, but
this paper will show how it is possible to have responsive
spacelaunch with current systems. This study discusses why only
horizontally processed systems suchas the Delta IV can accomplish
the seven day turnaround which meets A.F. Space Command'sresponsive
launch criteria.An upgraded Delta IV launch system could respond to
America's need for replenishmentand expansion of its space
capabilities. Delta IV's horizontal processing allows multiple
vehicles to be processed and stored simultaneously.
