In G.A. Henty's historical novel 'In Freedom's Cause', readers are transported back to 14th century Scotland during the time of William Wallace's struggle for independence. Henty's detailed descriptions of battles, political intrigues, and the hardships faced by the Scottish people paint a vivid picture of this tumultuous period in history. Written in a straightforward and engaging style, the book offers an insightful look into the fight for freedom and the sacrifices made by those involved. Henty's attention to historical accuracy and his ability to bring characters to life make this novel a compelling read for anyone interested in Scottish history or the struggles of oppressed peoples. G.A. Henty, known for his adventurous tales set in various historical periods, was inspired to write 'In Freedom's Cause' by his own fascination with history and his desire to educate young readers about the past. His extensive research and passion for storytelling shine through in this gripping narrative that captures the spirit of the Scottish resistance. Through his writing, Henty encourages readers to explore the complexities of historical events and to appreciate the courage of those who fought for freedom.

    Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg (1833–1917) was one of the ablest and most successful commanders of cavalry in any Civil War army. Pennsylvania-born, West Point–educated, and deeply experienced in cavalry operations prior to the conflict, his career personified that of the typical cavalry officer in the mid-nineteenth-century American army. Gregg achieved distinction on many battlefields, ultimately gaining the rank of brevet major general as leader of the Second Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac. 
     
     
     
    The highlight of his service occurred on July 3, 1863, the climactic third day at Gettysburg, when he led his own command as well as the brigade of Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer in repulsing an attempt by thousands of Confederate cavalries under the legendary J. E. B. Stuart in attacking the right flank and rear of the Union Army while Pickett's charge struck its front and center. 
     
     
     
    Historians credit Gregg with helping preserve the security of his army at a critical point, making Union victory inevitable. Unlike glory-hunters such as Custer and Stuart, Gregg was a quietly competent veteran who never promoted himself or sought personal recognition for his service. Rarely has a military commander of such distinction been denied a biographer's tribute. Gregg's time is long overdue.

    You can't avoid it, because it's everywhere. In the looks Black kids get in certain spaces, the manner in which some people speak to them, the stuff that goes over their heads. Stuff that makes them cry even when they don't know why. How do you bring up your kids to be kind and happy when there is so much out there trying to break them down? 
     
    Bringing Up Race is an important book, for all families whatever their race or ethnicity. It's for everyone who wants to instill a sense of open-minded inclusivity in their kids, and those who want to discuss difference instead of shying away from tough questions. Uju Asika draws on often shocking personal stories of prejudice along with opinions of experts, influencers, and fellow parents to give advice in this guide. 
     
    Bringing Up Race explores: when children start noticing ethnic differences; what to do if your child says something racist; how to have open, honest, age-appropriate conversations; how children and parents can handle racial bullying; and how to recognize and challenge everyday racism. 
     
    Bringing Up Race is a call to arms for all parents as our society works to combat white supremacy and dismantle systemic racism.

    In his book, Rasmus Rasmussen provides a full account of the Viking's [1893] journey from Norway to Chicago from a crew-member's point of view. The trip was not without peril and hardship. Their accommodations were crude. The weather, at times, threatened their very lives. Most cities rolled out the red carpet to meet them, but one rolled out the paddy wagon. All together, an informative journal and a delightful read, and one that compels reflection and awe of the exploits of our Viking ancestors. - Paul A. Anderson, Honorary Norwegian Consul General 
    Rasmussen's diary recounts the historic journey made by twelve courageous seamen aboard Viking and includes his personal experiences during and after the Fair [1893 Chicago World's Fair]. Viking is the first Viking ship to sail in nearly 1,000 years, showing the world that Leif Erikson could have reached the New World almost 500 years before Columbus. 
    The Addendum continues the story of Viking and brings the reader up to date on the most recent preservation accomplishments. - Friends of the Viking Ship, NFP
