A solid career, a simmering romance and his own past conspire to
keep Jonah Christopher at home. But when Our Lady, Queen of the
Universe, calls, Jonah must traverse time and eternity to confront
the evil only he can defeat. Can a sixth-grade teacher whose only
plan for the next week is to enjoy spring break fishing and being
with the girl of his dreams give up his comfortable life to battle
the gathering darkness? And, if he does, will he ever make it back
to the woman he loves, his home and the old brick school where he
had finally found happiness? Traveling in a ten-foot rowboat
through rough seas and urban congestion, Jonah must rely on a ring,
a rosary, a telescope, a fisherman and a guardian angel named Dave
to bring him to his journey
Originally published in 1856, William Ferguson's America by River
and Rail, or Notes by the Way on the New World and its People is a
diary of his impressions of his travels along the East Coast, out
to the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, and through
Montreal and Quebec. While his stated attempt is to provide a
record of facts and opinions, to add to the "mosaic" of knowledge
about America without entering himself into the discussion,
Ferguson, nonetheless, shows us two sides of America. The first is
the "noisiest" class, that of the politicians and "money-getters"
from whom many previous writers take their impressions of
America--much to the negative of her image. Ferguson, however,
wants to display more richly that second class he encountered, the
quieter, moral backbone of America, those upon whom, he hopes,
America will build her future. He finds a society burgeoning with
vast natural and human resources, and remarks upon the rapidity of
growth in America, especially in the mid-western states. Full of
rich detail, Ferguson's work provides insight into the culture and
concerns of antebellum American life.
