This book gives us a real flavor of life in Kirtland during the years the Latter-day Saints lived there. The author lets the people of that time speak to us through their personal journals, newspapers, and books. While the author does provide a brief introduction in order to give us context for each vignette, he let's us learn about the events and times directly from those who lived them. Mr. Anderson also provides us with illustrations, tables, and the inside covers have a map of the city from those times. There are also endnotes and a helpful index.

This book takes the reader on a journey down memory lane from 1826, when St. Joseph was founded by Joseph Robidoux to the 1960’s. A vivid picture is painted of what life was like in St. Joseph in the early 1900’s to the 1960’s with personal stories and photos by those who grew up in St. Joseph. Not only is the book illustrated with numerous pictures of this period, there are also excerpts from other historical writings that give the reader a better understanding of St. Joseph’s long history. The “Illustrated London News” account in 1861 describes the people of St. Joe by claiming, “There is a wild look about the people of St. Joe. Nearly everybody carries a rifle...” In addition to the personal stories and photographs, there are chapters describing notable events, notable people and special timelines to assist the reader in keeping St. Joe’s history in perspective. The personal stories are not only educational but also entertaining and sometimes humorous. This collection of stories, from those who lived it, will help the reader reminiscence a bit and will also be enjoyed by future generations wishing to discover more about their ancestors and what life was like in St. Joe in earlier times.

Impressed by the discoveries of Captain Cook, and conscious that Russia was lagging behind other countries in terms of navigation and exploration, Catherine the Great commissioned an expedition in 1785 to chart the coastline in the far north-east of her empire. Born in Middlesex, Joseph Billings (1758-1806) had sailed under Cook but entered Russian service in 1783. He was chosen to lead the expedition, which would last for nine years. Written up by Martin Sauer, secretary and translator to the expedition, this illustrated account was first published in English in 1802, documenting the sheer scale of the task and the range of scientific activities carried out. Notable for producing the first accurate maps of the shoreline and islands of east Siberia, the expedition also contributed to the ethnographic and zoological knowledge of this most inhospitable of environments.

For thirty years Mary Barnes was a schizophrenic. This is the story of her resurrection. In 1966, Mary Barnes was a hopeless schizophrenic, and Joseph Berke was a young doctor rebelling against the restrictions of American psychiatry. This is the story of Barnes's resurrection, Berke's devotion, and the remarkable friendship that blossomed between them. With love and courage, they recount a tale of mutual dedication to healing without the use of psychoactive medication, chronicling how Barnes emerges from the turmoil of madness as a renowned painter. Her artistic development is beautifully illustrated in this volume as a visual analogy for the revolutionary psychic work in which she and Berke were engaged. Told by Barnes and Berke together, the story overflows with poignancy, insight, and sensitivity. The power of this dual-voiced narrative becomes clear as the story progresses: from Barnes, we hear reflections on the subjective experience of madness and on the often arduous process of healing. From Berke, we see Barnes from the vantage point of a dedicated clinician—the voice who, when Barnes risked becoming engulfed by her feelings of disorientation, would say "Squeeze out your badness into me." The richness afforded by this double perspective is what makes Mary Barnes's story as compelling and enthralling as it is. Now back in print with the addition of new epilogues by both Barnes and Berke, this edition is truly complete."Fragmentary, onrushing, claustrophobic...A travelogue through a psychic Walpurgis Night [that] combines a personal drama of redemption from 'madness' with a profound, revolutionary statement on how a free community of souls can interact for the good of its individuals."-Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

1997 MJF(Fine Communications) hardcover, Joseph Epes Brown (Editor). Black Elk of the Sioux has been recognized as one of the truly remarkable men of his time in the matter of religious belief and practice. Shortly before his death in August, 1950, when he was the "keeper of the sacred pipe," he said, "It is my prayer that, through our sacred pipe, and through this book in which I shall explain what our pipe really is, peace may come to those peoples who can understand, and understanding which must be of the heart and not of the head alone. Then they will realize that we Indians know the One true God, and that we pray to Him continually." - Amazon

Opening the Heavens gathers in one place the key historical collections documenting divine manifestations from 1820 to 1844. Gathered here are the historical documents concerning the First Vision, the translation of the Book of Mormon, the restoration of the priesthood, the many visions of Joseph Smith, the outpouring of keys at the Kirtland Temple, and the mantle of Joseph Smith passing to Brigham Young.

This is a classically-shaped travel story: a very long river voyage into the far interior of a tropical jungle towards an unexplored mountain range. A journey inspired by Joseph Conrad, it is framed by a knowledge of the great Borneo naturalists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Hose and William McDougall, Robert Shelford. It includes a changing portrait of the greatest English poet of his generation, James Fenton, a jungle in himself. Sponsored by the Sunday Times, advised and equipped by 22 SAS, and setting out with the blessing of the University of Oxford, the British Museum (Natural History) and the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology, the two-man expedition, with three Sea Dyak trackers, reached, much to their surprise, the Tiban massif in the very centre of Borneo, an area unvisited since Mjoberg's expedition (and then only from the Indonesian side) in 1926. Redmond O'Hanlon writes with wit, and wears his learning lightly.

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette ( 1757 - 1834), often known as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat and military officer. He was a general in the American Revolution, serving under George Washington, and a leader of the Garde nationale during the French Revolution. Because he was so active in the American Revolution, cities and monuments across the United States bear his name. Lafayette is buried in Paris, under soil from Washington's grave at Mount Vernon. As a tribute to his valour, in 1824, President James Monroe invited Lafayette to the United States as the "nation's guest". He visited all twenty-four states, and this is an account of his reception.
