  Death in Briar Bottom - The True...

  Timothy Silver

  On July 3, 1972, twenty-four hippies from Clearwater, Florida, set up tents and settled in for the night at Briar Bottom, a public US Forest Service campground in western North Carolina. The impromptu campout was a pit stop for the group on their way to a Rolling Stones concert in Charlotte. Early that evening, they drank beer, smoked marijuana, and listened to rock music as they anticipated the good times that lay ahead. Near midnight, the county sheriff showed up with six deputies, allegedly responding to a noise complaint. They were armed with pistols and five sawed-off 12-gauge shotguns, one of which discharged, killing a young man named Stanley Altland. To this day, no one has been held responsible for the tragic incident, though it happened in front of over a dozen eyewitnesses. 
   
   
   
  Timothy Silver writes the true story of Altland's death and its aftermath, using archival research, interviews with surviving Clearwater campers, and newly unearthed FBI files. A mix of true crime, southern history, and personal storytelling, this book shows how, in the dark of night at a remote mountain campsite, the killing of an innocent man epitomized the suspicion of young people and violence toward the counterculture that gripped the nation in the early 1970s.

  Welcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. 
   
   
   
  May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. 
   
   
   
  So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.

  'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously.
