Deep Family chronicles several generations of an interesting and well-known Southern family. The title comes from a servant who had been with the family so long that he had become part of the family. When he presided over a post-funeral family dinner, he remarked that "all de deep family be here." The three "deep families"--the Craiks, Baldwins, and Reads--in this book go back to pre-Revolutionary times. Dr. James Craik was Revolutionary War Surgeon General and was George Washington's "best" friend; Dr. William O. Baldwin was a close friend of William Lowndes Yancey; the first Nicholas Cabell Read escaped execution in Mexico after the fall of Maxmilian by beating it "for the States, with his parrot on his shoulder and some gold pieces in his pocket"; to cite just a few examples. The family included revolutionaries, Confederates, Communists, diplomats, journalists, artists, grande dames, and eccentrics. This book will combine history, gossip, and personal lore in a ripping good read.

Why does his writing remain so popular? As an Oxford scholar, Christian apologist, and author of the Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis wrote prolifically in many genres, covering a wide spectrum of topics. His soaring imagination is anchored in a unifying concept of who God is, who we are as God's fallen creatures, the destiny of humankind, and the need for redemption and perfection in Christ. There is nothing in literature which does not, in some degree, percolate into life. - C. S. Lewis, "The Allegory of Love

Your English Ancestry: A Guide for North Americans was the first book to provide a logical research routine for family historians based in North America. Since the first edition of Your English Ancestry was published in 1993, genealogy has become even more popular, the Internet has become an important tool for many researchers, and there have been significant changes in local government and in the storage of major records in England.These changes are reflected in this new edition of Your English Ancestry. It contains additional detail on many records, a new chapter introducing early English research (before 1730), and a greatly expanded bibliography.For every type of record -- civil registration, census, church records, probate, occupation, and local administration -- there are clear explanations of availability and access. Each chapter concludes with a step-by-step summary

A mention of flatulence might conjure up images of bratty high school boys or lowbrow comics. But one of the most eloquent--and least expected--commentators on the subject is Benjamin Franklin. The writings in "Fart Proudly" reveal the rogue who lived peaceably within the philosopher and statesman. Included are "The Letter to a Royal Academy"; "On Choosing a Mistress"; "Rules on Making Oneself Disagreeable"; and other jibes. Franklin's irrepressible wit found an outlet in perpetrating hoaxes, attacking marriage and other sacred cows, and skewering the English Parliament. Reminding us of the humorous, irreverent side of this American icon, these essays endure as both hilarious satire and a timely reminder of the importance of a free press.

Copied out by hand as a young man aspiring to the status of Gentleman, George Washington's 110 rules were based on a set of rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595. The first English edition of these rules was available in Francis Hawkins' Youths Behavior, or Decency in Conversation Amongst Men, which appeared in 1640, and it is from work that Washington seems to have copied. The rules as Washington wrote them out are a simplified version of this text. However much he may have simplified them, these precepts had a strong influence on Washington, who aimed to always live by them. The rules focus on self-respect and respect for others through details of etiquette. The rules offer pointers on such issues as how to dress, walk, eat in public, and address one's superiors.
