  American politician Daniel Webster delivered this speech in 1820 on the 200th anniversary of the landing on Plymouth Rock. In it, he honors the memory of the men and women who laid the groundwork for American civilization. He also challenges the crowd to consider how current political issues, such as slavery, will affect their legacy two-hundred years in the future. “Let [slavery] cease to be of New England,” he urges them in this historic speech, “and let civilized man henceforth have no communion with it.”

  ***WINNER! 2024 SOVAS Award for Outstanding Audiobook Narration, Faith-Based!*** When a wagon train of Black pioneers rescues the seven orphaned Dalton cousins from the side of the trail, it seems like an answer to their prayers. As they roll west toward Kansas, fourteen-year-old Levi Dalton is dazzled by the beautiful Mrs. Mallone. She's a healer, and her knowledge of medicines and herbs inspires Levi to want to become a doctor. Maybe then he can stop people from dying of fevers and illnesses like his folks did.  But Mrs. Mallone's stepdaughter, Hopeful, warns Levi not to become too attached to the healer. Levi dismisses her warnings and his own misgivings until the day he sees something dreadful. Levi knows he needs to tell someone what he’s seen before it’s too late. But will anyone believe the story of a fourteen-year-old orphan? Will anyone stand up to evil, no matter how beautifully it’s packaged?

  Fur Trade in North America The:...

  Though the importance of hats is easy to overlook, it was deadly serious in more ways than one, impacting the beavers and birds used to make fashionable hats, the environment of the region, and the people fighting over the resources. Beaver hats put the Dutch, British, and French in conflict, and later the Americans and Canadians. Plumed women’s hats were considerably less important historically, but they had a huge ecological impact. The beaver is a crucial species that once had an immense impact on the environment around it, while the short era concerning the plume trade for women’s hats drove a number of bird species to near-extinction. Indeed, several species have never recovered their numbers. The end product was fashionable men’s and women’s hats, sold primarily in Europe and the United States, but from raw materials to finished products, these hats linked tribal peoples, traders, hunters, trappers, merchants, and soldiers. Whether it crossed their minds or not, countless men and women in London and Paris were linked to the North American wilderness and all the violence it entailed. 
  The fur trade had its tensions, but for many years, traders and natives worked out their own systems, times, and traditions, allowing many different groups to interact and even compete without issues that led to war. Though native groups sometimes found themselves in conflicts based on long-standing rivalries or relations with the Europeans, most of the fur traders, the trappers, the Indians, and Hudson’s Bay Company officials lived peaceably. The great amount of distance from one another in this land of millions of miles likely helped to alleviate tensions. When a new vision for the Hudson’s Bay Company came about, one where settlers, not itinerants, would be responsible for the colony, the rules changed.

  The Great Reset - Conversations...

  You did not stumble upon this book by accident. I promise you that — take my word for it. This is not a meditation manual, but rather a powerful realization of who you are, intended to trigger your spiritual awakening. 
  Whatever algorithm surfaced it, whatever recommendation led you here, whatever impulse made you press play — that impulse did not come from nowhere. Something in you recognized the title before your mind could explain why. Something in you has been waiting for this, possibly for a very long time. 
  What you have found is an unpolished diamond buried in a catalogue of millions — not because it was deliberately hidden, but because what it contains does not fit neatly into any category the marketplace knows how to sell. It is not religion. It is not science fiction. And it is not the usual spiritual fluff about chakras, raised vibrations, and decorative enlightenment. 
  It is a first-person account of what happens when an ordinary modern man enters a transcendental state, sees behind the walls of ordinary reality, and comes back to tell you what he found there. 
  My name is Marcus Riauka. And across nine episodes, I am going to dismantle everything you thought you knew about who you are, what this place is, and why you are here. Not gently. 
     I am going to tell you that the character you have been playing your entire life — the one with your name, your face, your history — is a role you never auditioned for. That the ancient depictions of allegorical gods and metaphoric deities were never primitive superstition — they were engineering disguised as devotion. And that creation itself, when seen from the other side, reveals itself as mathematical computation operating at an unimaginable scale of complexity.

  The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time. The content therefore, while based on real events and people, is not a factual historical record but just the creation of the author. The year is 1926 and chat show host Tom Mulcahy is interviewing Countess (or Madame) Markievicz about her extraordinary life.
