Elizabeth Newman, Co-Chair of the 2017 Anniversary Committee asked Bill Millar to write the third century history of the First Parish Church. He said he would. Mildred Jones delivered a box of calendars, programs, transcribed interviews, a binder with many clipped articles and generally historical "stuff" along with Ashby's history of the church. After reviewing this box of information, Millar then raided the archives, file folder by file folder, for more. The book that you have in your hands is a product of a committee of three: William K. Millar Jr., the author with Liz Newman and Mildred Jones, the editors. With a century of information, dozens of photos and a complete index-this book is a necessary addition to any Brunswick history buff's collection.

This little book tells many important tribal stories for today and for future generations. These historic vignettes of the Omaha Nation and its leaders are shared so personally by author Fannie Reed Giffen and her collaborators, Susette and Susan La Flesche. It has been a treasure of mine for 25 years and I hope it becomes one of yours.The re-publication of the original comes on the 125-year anniversary of the 1898 Omaha Trans-Mississippi Exposition and Indian Congress. Its arrival is timely as many of its stories and people are vital to our nation's history. A sculpture of Omaha Chief Big Elk will stand proudly on the banks of the Missouri as the city of Omaha celebrates its namesake this summer! Susette La Flesche Tibbles is known today for her role in the Trial of Ponca Chief Standing Bear. She is recognized as an activist for Indian rights along with her sister Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American Physician. Their stories were not part of my childhood, yet today these amazing women inspire me.The stories of America's first people are essential to an understanding of our country. More and more, books like this are shining a light on people we need to know. I want to thank Zea Books for making this little jewel of American history accessible for more of us to appreciate and enjoy.

From the mid-1980s through the 1990s, the elements that would define Portland as a magical city were coming together. Known for its local restaurants and craft beer as well as its national prominence in advertising and athletic wear, Portland invited and embraced creativity in all its forms. In Portland Renaissance, you can revisit a time when Portland became Sneakertown, Beervana, a foodie city, an urban living exemplar, a creative oasis, and a place where anything seemed possible.

Today, German-Americans number 26% of the population of Maryland, thereby making them the largest ethnic group in the state. The foundations of this large German-American population were laid in the colonial times when large numbers of Germans from Pennsylvania migrated to Maryland. Originally published in 1913, Nead's history, The Pennsylvania-German in the Settlement of Maryland, has become a standard text on the history of the Maryland Germans before 1800. Focusing on the role of the Pennsylvania Germans in founding the German element in Maryland, this book demonstrates how inextricably the German heritage of Pennsylvania and Maryland are interrelated. The book is well illustrated with sketches, maps and facsimiles and has chapters devoted to home-making, religion, migration, education and industry. There are also chapters exploring the Maryland German involvement in the French and Indian, and Revolutionary Wars complete with lists of participating soldiers. In addition, Dr. Tolzmann has provided a historical introduction to the work along with bibliographical references for further study and research. An index to subject, full names, and places is provided. From Maryland, Germans would later move further into Virginia, and then onwards into the Ohio Valley. Anyone interested in the history of early German immigration and settlement in Maryland and surrounding states will find this book highly informative.
