Sinossi

Originally published in 1861, Warren Wildwood’s Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers is a fun and fascinating foray into the tribulations of some of America’s most beloved folk heroes, as well as ordinary men and women who showed bravery in the face of Indians, wild animals, and criminals. These inspirational and entertaining escapades depict true tales of exceptional men like Daniel Boone and David Crockett, along with storied groups like the Texan Rangers and the Patriot Army of 1776. From colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum times, and spanning across America, these spirited tales have something for everyone. Short enough for a bedtime story, and plentiful enough to read again and again, Thrilling Adventures is perfect for adventure-loving men and boys of all ages.
 
Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to preserve Warren Wildwood, Esq.’s Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers as a classic piece of American literature to be enjoyed by a new generation and many more to come.  
 
“Probably the most restless people in the world are the Americans, and for this reason, they make the most troublesome prisoners. They will not settle down to inactivity under any wrong or oppression; they will not bear any burden meekly or tamely; nurtured in the lap of freedom, they chafe fearfully under any restraint; their liberty they will seek at any hazard—they pant for it as for the air they breathe; show them the remotest possibility of accomplishing their purpose, and no danger, no thousand dangers, will deter them from the attempt; destroyed they may be, but not subdued.”

Progressive Muscle Relaxation...

Sophie Grace Meditations

Do you want to introduce your children to body awareness and relaxation to make it easier for them to manage stress and relax both in their childhood and as they are growing up? In Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Children, the kids explore the difference between tense and relaxed muscles by first tensing a particular muscle group and then letting go of the tension. Once the children have worked their way from the feet to the head and relaxed all the muscles, there will be a couple of minutes to rest or listen to the background music before the narrator rounds off the exercise.
The audiobook contains an 8-minute-version with background music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke and a 10-minute-version with alternate background music by DreamTunes. The longer alternate version is good when the children have gained some experience working with the exercise or prefer to work their way through the muscles at a slower pace. The relaxation exercise is precisely the same in both versions; the only things that differ, besides the music, are the slightly longer pauses when moving through the steps and the longer time to rest at the end before rounding off. The two versions make up two different audiobook chapters, thereby making it easy to choose which one to listen to using the audio player's chapter selection feature. When bought as an MP3, the two versions will be two separate audio files.
The relaxation exercise has been narrated by the author.
Tips: When it comes to smaller children, it might be a good idea to turn down the volume as they reach the "resting section" if they start to get restless. Adults who want to introduce the relaxation exercise to their children are recommended to consider it an exercise in body awareness rather than a moment of rest. Tell the children what tensing their muscles means before trying the relaxation for the first time.
