    Through the Valley is the captivating memoir of the last US Army soldier taken prisoner during the Vietnam War. 
     
     
     
    In 1971 William Reeder was a senior captain on his second tour in Vietnam. He had flown armed, fixed-wing OV-1 Mohawks on secret missions deep into enemy territory in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam, on his first tour. He returned as a helicopter pilot eager to experience a whole new perspective as a Cobra gunship pilot. Believing that Nixon's Vietnamization would soon end the war, Reeder was anxious to see combat action. To him, it appeared that the Americans had prevailed, beaten the Viet Cong, and were passing everything over to the South Vietnamese Army so that Americans could leave. 
     
     
     
    Less than a year later, while providing support to forces at the besieged base of Ben Het, Reeder's chopper went down in a flaming corkscrew. Though Reeder survived the crash, he was captured after evading the enemy for three days. He was held for weeks in jungle cages before enduring a grueling forced march on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, costing the lives of seven of his group of twenty-seven POWs. Imprisoned in the notorious prisons of Hanoi, Reeder's tenacity in the face of unimaginable hardship is not only a captivating story, but serves as an inspiration to all.

    A revised and expanded history of Pennsylvania’s role in the Underground Railroad, featuring escape route maps and eyewitness accounts.

The system was extremely active in Pennsylvania, with routes running through cities and towns in all parts of the state.  This revised second edition of Underground Railroad in Pennsylvania retraces the routes with detailed maps, discusses the large city networks, identifies the houses and sites where escapees found refuge, and records the names of the people who risked their lives to support the operation.

    Education is often considered the most important tool for personal success and societal progress, promising to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of life. It is believed to be the key to opportunity, growth, and empowerment. Yet, when we take a closer look at the state of modern education, we find a different reality—a system that is increasingly failing to meet the needs of today’s learners and society as a whole. Behind the promise of a well-rounded, enriching education lies a structure that often stifles creativity, disregards individuality, and fails to prepare students for the rapidly changing world around them. 
      
    At its core, the modern education system is built on an outdated framework that prioritizes uniformity and standardization over adaptability and critical thinking. The methods used to educate students today were designed in the industrial era, when the focus was on producing workers for factories rather than nurturing creative thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers. While the world has evolved in countless ways since then—especially with the rise of technology and globalization—the classroom has remained largely unchanged. The result is a system that no longer serves the needs of diverse learners and, in many cases, actively hinders their potential. 
      
    This book aims to explore the hidden truths about modern education, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues that have long been overlooked or ignored. From the rise of standardized testing to the growing influence of corporate interests, we will examine how these forces have reshaped education into something that prioritizes compliance and efficiency over genuine learning and personal growth.
