Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge County Geographies were designed to provide a series of concise guides to British regions. Aimed at the general reader, they combined a comprehensive approach to various aspects of physical and human geography with an emphasis on clarity. This guide to Ross and Cromarty by William J. Watson was first published in 1924. The text is interspersed with numerous illustrative figures and also contains a list of the chief towns and villages within the area.

William Coleman thought he was on the way to success as a bank clerk in Chester, S.C., in the spring of 1861. Then his employer sent him a petticoat to shame him into joining the militia and fighting the Yankees. He did, sure "the silliness" would end once everyone calmed down. He was wrong. Really, really wrong. This is the story of a man who had to change to survive. It's the story of the Confederate soldier. It's the story of the sister who saw the war from home and the brother who fought it. It's the four-year story of the Sixth South Carolina, a regiment covered in glory, drenched in blood and filled by men who did their duty as they saw it and didn't think they were special. It's the real story of the South, unvarnished. History bonus: This edition features illustrations, photos and a postscript from descendants of William Coleman's family.

Whaler's Island is located off the coast of Cape Cod and to the east of the island of Nantucket. Whaler's Island is a vacationer's paradise and the summer home to many famous people. When a category three hurricane threatens the island, the locals take steps to prepare for the massive storm. While preparations are underway, a fire breaks out in a popular restaurant in the downtown section of this historic whaling island. Will the fire chief, Charlie Williams, be able to rally his troops to save the town, or will the devastating headwinds of the hurricane be too much for this small fire department to overcome? Will the town burn to the ground before the rain from the hurricane arrives? Will the storm-surge of the hurricane nullify the fire department's efforts? Will all of Williams's firefighters make it out alive? Will the island be able to recover economically from such a devastating ordeal, or will it need to be abandoned and left as a memory of the past? The clock is running and there's not much time to act..
