Keeping the Faiths is a view into the daily lives of people in the late 19th century. It is first a collection of Sermons and Lectures 1875-1885 of William, Alpheus, and Benson Freed, three brothers who were Called to preach the Gospel at Methodist Camp Meetings. Transcribed from the original hand-written text, edited and with extensive footnotes to help the modern reader understand the context of the times and the references to local issues and events.
Keeping the Faiths includes an introduction describing the major events surrounding these men-the aftermath of the Civil War, a major depression, the building of the West. William and Alpheus made their way West from Pennsylvania to Kansas. William went all the way to California, then returned to the east coast on a sailing ship around the Horn, detailed in one of his talks.
Keeping the Faiths includes genealogical information linking these Freeds to their ancestors back to the 1600's in Switzerland, the expulsion of these Mennonite families from Switzerland to Germany, and their subsequent migration to the New Land in Pennsylvania. It details the genealogy, and the challenges encountered in connecting back 400 years to Switzerland. The Sampler depicted on the cover was one of the keys to completing the story.

Описание: In this pitch-perfect middle grade adventure, twelve-year-old Dagmar must endure a summer living off-the-grid with her family in a tiny home. The last thing twelve-year-old Dagmar wants is to spend her summer vacation squished into a tiny house with her dad, her stepmom, and her annoying five-year-old half brother. But after a sudden financial setback, her family is evicted from their Oakland apartment, and that's just where they end up, parked among the towering redwoods of Northern California. As Dagmar explores the forest around their new and (hopefully) temporary home, she discovers they are living next door to an eccentric tech billionaire and his very unusual extended family. There's his brother, a woodsman who sets dangerous booby traps all over the place, and his sister, a New Age animal lover who meditates to whale songs in an isolation tank. And then there's the billionaire's son, Blake, who has everything he could ever wish for--except maybe a friend. But when a wildfire engulfs the forest, everyone--rich and poor, kid and adult--will have to work together to escape. And with both families at risk of losing everything, it turns out it's not the size of the home but the people you share it with that matters.
