| Polk's Folly, An American Family History by William R. Polk
[Hard-Cover, 512 pgs with numerous family photographs] - Price:
$15.95
In 1680, a Scots- Irish mercenary named Robert Pollok
fled war-torn Ireland with his family. When he arrived in Maryland
[now known as Polk], the only land available was a wretched piece of
swampfront the locals derisively dubbed "Polk's Folly." From this
desperate and hardscrabble beginning, the Polk clan would flourish, and
generate some of the most fascinating and colorful characters in
American History. Descendants include James K. Polk, the 11th
President of the U.S. [1845-1849]; and Leonidas Polk who was a 3rd
cousin of President Polk. Leonidas Polk was the Episcopal Bishop
of Louisiana and also a Civil War General who was dubbed "the fighting
Bishop." He was killed in battle on June 14, 1864. In 1945,
his remains and those of his wife and were re-interred at Christ
Church Cathedral in New Orleans. |

The Day The World Came To Town, 911 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim Defede [hardcover with dust jacket] - Price: $8.95
On September 11, 2001, 38 jetliners bound for the United States were forced to land in Gander, Newfoundland. This book is the story of the passengers and of every man, woman and child in Gander and surrounding smaller towns who stopped what they were doing so they could help. They placed their lives on hold for a group of strangers and asked for nothing in return. They affirmed the basic goodness of man at a time when it was easy to doubt such humanity still existed. |
