Sinossi

With this informative and easy-to-use guide, the streets of Salem come alive with history at every turn.   When most people think of Salem, they think of witchcraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Samuel McIntire. But there is far more to this coastal city’s rich history. Echoes of lesser-known tales linger along its lanes and avenues, from the mysteries of Chestnut Street to the founding Quakers of Buffum Street.   Local historian Jeanne Stella recounts the stories behind some of Salem’s oldest street names and reveals the hidden histories that reside within. With her colorful and fascinating tales, you can step back in time as you walk down Daniels Street, learn the many firsts that happened on Broad Street, and discover the varied uses of Salem Common.

    My book is a teaching book for Christians that aren't exposed to manifestations of the Spirit and things like deliverance. It is filled with personal stories, so it is not scholarly at all. I don't want it to sound stuffy. I want it to sound like a shepherd teaching his flock. I want people to be filled with hope and to believe that my tools will help them succeed in their Christian walk and that they will grow as they interact with all three persons of the Trinity. If I have all caps I want a forceful voice like the prayer chapter. Prayer can be like telling your children to turn their music down. You have to raise the volume of your voice and be forceful. For the study questions, I would like a nice flowing pondering tone. My book is about the tools that I was given by God to succeed in having a passionate and fulfilling Christian walk. I hope people will be interactive and take an active part with interacting with God.

    All aboard for the history of one of the most audacious and innovative railroad engineering feats in history from the celebrated Floridian author.   Although several people had considered constructing a railroad to Key West beginning in the early 1800s, it took a bold industrialist with unparalleled vision to make it happen. In 1902, Henry Flagler made the decision to extend the Florida East Coast Railway to “the nearest deepwater American port.” In this book, renowned Florida historian Seth H. Bramson reveals how the Key West Extension of the Flagler-owned FEC became the greatest railroad engineering and construction feat in United States, and possibly world, history, an accomplishment that would cement Flagler’s fame and legend for all time. Join Bramson as he recounts the years of operation of this great railroad, what it did for the Florida Keys and what it meant to the resident conchs.   Includes photos
