Описание:
Author Dwayne W. Pickett details the life of William Hilton, his exploration of the Carolina coast and the founding of an iconic island.
Behind the pristine beaches and world renown of Hilton Head Island lies a history that dates back to the early exploration of the nation. In 1663, William Hilton, a mariner born in England, was hired by a group in Barbados to find new lands for them to settle. Hilton led an exploration of the Port Royal Sound area, where he named a high bluff of land Hiltons Head as a navigational marker for future sailors. The island began as a sparsely populated area on the fringe of English settlement in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when it was called Trench's Island on some maps.
The Battle of Gettysburg, in early July, 1863, began promisingly for Lee and his Confederate forces, but as the fighting progressed it became clear that in a pounding match where Meade's Union force remained nailed defensively to high ground it would take a master stroke on Lee's part for the Confederates to prevail. Attacks to turn the Union flank had failed leading to a decision to launch a concerted direct assault of converging regiments on the centre of the Union line, which was commanded by Hancock. The initiative seemed born of desperation and the Confederate general, Longstreet had little faith in its success. The attacking Confederates were compelled to march for over a mile across a wide expanse of open ground, under the most punishing enemy fire, before they could reach Union lines. Nevertheless, upon the order, the ranks of grey and butternut stepped bravely forward, under the commands of Pickett, Trimble and Pettigrew, and despite suffering fearful losses, some of them actually broke into the lines of the soldiers in blue. There they were killed, captured or faltered and fell back in retreat. 'Pickett's Charge', as this valiant debacle came to be known, was set upon a task almost certain to fail. Only the courage of those who charged is beyond question, for this attack has been the subject of intensive debate and much controversy. This Leonaur book on this pivotal action contains several essential perspectives by different authors and includes many maps and illustrations.

Описание:
Rome and several of his buddies had a dilemma. This was one of the hottest summers in Cleveland, Ohio that they could remember. With the heat and summer jobs lacking for a fifteen-year-old even, the once generous neighbors who created some work from time to time had dried up. Money was tight for everyone that they knew. They hoped that the one bud that had parents with good jobs would come through but it didn't happen. He left them high and dry. It was time to do what a young boy did not like to do: beg. They thought that maybe the proprietor of the corner store just might feel their pain. As they tried to figure out who would do the asking, they heard a female voice asking questions about what they were up to. Rome looked around and saw this lady at the bus stop. Rome answered her questions and they a had an enjoyable conversation when she motioned for him to come to her. She reached out and put something into his hand Rome had no idea what she said to him because he was concentrating on what was in his hand. It was paper and, when he ran in the store, it was just what they needed. When school started, all of the gang ended up in the same English class. Being assigned to write an essay about the most exciting thing that happened to them, Rome knew exactly what he would write about: The Woman at the Bus Stop. Intrigued about the lady at the bus stop, the English class began a project to find this woman and see if she touched the lives of any others. Following letters about the lady, and with a new-found passion for writing, Rome was on a search to find this lady and found that it really was a small world.
