FREE -- Irish Christmas, An [Kindle Edition]
FREE -- The Underground Railroad A Record of Facts, Authentic Narratives, Letters, &c., Narrating the Hardships, Hair-Breadth Escapes and Death Struggles of the ... and Others, or Witnessed by the Author. [Kindle Edition]
This book about the underground railroad is a compilation of many
stories. Each story is a harrowing tale of slaves who tried to escape
brutality, starvation and hardship, and the kind people who helped them
to freedom. Sometimes the people who helped suffered terribly at the
hands of the local lawmen and the bounty hunters who sought to punish
them for helping the suffering slaves along the trail to freedom and a
better life.

FREE -- The Narrative of Sojourner Truth [Kindle Edition]
Truth's narrative is a powerful rendering of bondage, denial, and loss
transcended by genius, family, and a spiritual base. It juxtaposes
spirituality with moral turpitude. Truth was a freethinker who lived
within a family of wretched circumstances in New York's Ulster County;
she was a wife whose runaway husband had been beated into submission; a
mother who reclaimed her only son from a brutal Georgia slaver; a person
of principles who was duped by slavers and false prophets; and,
finally, at 46, an orator, abolitionist, and member of the Northampton
utopian community. As a companion to Truth's narrative, Washington
presents a cogent, well-crafted introduction full of historical
information that sketches a framework for understanding slavery as it
was practiced in the Northeast. This slender book belongs in all
literature and history collections.

FREE -- Harriet Tubman - The Moses of Her People [Illustrated] [Kindle Edition]
Harriet Tubman was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and
Union spy during the U.S. Civil War. After escaping from captivity, she
made thirteen missions to rescue over seventy slaves using the network
of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground
Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on
Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era struggled for women's suffrage.
Born
into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland, Tubman was beaten and
whipped by her various owners as a child. Early in her life, she
suffered a traumatic head wound when an irate slave owner threw a heavy
metal weight at her, intending to hit another slave. The injury caused
disabling seizures, headaches, and powerful visionary and dream
activity, and spells of hypersomnia which occurred throughout her entire
life. A devout Christian, she ascribed her visions and vivid dreams to
premonitions from God.
In 1849, Tubman escaped to Philadelphia,
then immediately returned to Maryland to rescue her family. Slowly, one
group at a time, she brought relatives with her out of the state, and
eventually guided dozens of other slaves to freedom. Traveling by night
and in extreme secrecy, Tubman (or "Moses", as she was called) "never
lost a passenger". Heavy rewards were offered for many of the people she
helped bring away, but no one ever knew it was Harriet Tubman who was
helping them. When a far-reaching United States Fugitive Slave Law was
passed in 1850, she helped guide fugitives further north into Canada,
and helped newly-freed slaves find work.

FREE -- The Incredible Tito: Man of the Hour [Kindle Edition]
The world was mired in the Second World War when Howard Fast wrote The Incredible Tito.
Upon the book’s publication in 1944, there was still no united
Yugoslavia, the Axis controlled most of Europe, and D-Day was only in
the planning stages. In the Balkans, Tito was a beacon of hope against
the advancing Nazis. He led a force of resistance fighters that
bedeviled the occupying German army throughout Slavic regions and
empowered people’s committees to act as local government in all
liberated areas. For observers on the political left, Tito seemed
uniquely poised to unite the East and West against fascism—once and for
all.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.

her parents have divorced, and her father is staying in their cabin with
his new family. The only place available is a three-story house that
belonged to Mr. Coffinfinder, a recluse who recently died. Due to a
belief it’s haunted, the house is for sale, cheap, and Kati’s mom wants
to turn it into a bed and breakfast. Fifteen-year-old Kati doesn’t want
to live at Piney Lake year around, and she’s sure she’ll be a social
outcast living in “weird Coffy’s house.”
Kati doesn’t believe in
ghosts but strange things happen, and for some reason, they’re stranger
for her than other people. When a crystal falls from the chandelier,
others hear a ping and Kati hears a crash, and when a black cat and an
old-fashioned doll talk to her and she can converse with them, she
thinks she’s going crazy. However, when Zack, a super-cute boy who’s
interested in the occult, moves into the B&B with his dad, he tells

circumstances.

ways. In addition, there's instructions for preserving eggs, and
general egg facts.

FREE -- A Plain Cookery Book for the Working Classes [Kindle Edition]
There are 241 Recipes in this book. They are basic good solid food
recipes and assume that the reader can boil water without instructions.
These are not extremely detailed how-to recipes on how to construct a
salad, or tear lettuce, or fry eggs. They detail basic ingredients and
give ways to combine them without fuss. Mostly for women or family
cooks who had so many things to do that they couldn't spend a great deal
of time watching the pot boil. They had to put on the soup and let it
simmer for a few hours stirring occasionally. I especially liked the
simple split-pea soup recipe, the onion soups, and some of the rice
pudding recipe ideas. There are more complex recipes should one desire
to try them.
