Port Henry, NY: The MCS Magazine Club, 1973. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 20 pages (including covers). Illustrations (photographs and drawings). Port Henry is in a tract of land set aside by the British Crown for veterans of the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War). Although a mill was built in 1765, no other European-American settlers arrived until 1785, after the American Revolutionary War. The Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk and Oswegatchie, members of the Seven Nations of Canada, were still living in the town until after 1800. In the early years, timber harvesting was a major industry and 20 mills were located in the area. The first dock was built on Lake Champlain by 1820 for shipping lumber to other ports. Early settlers discovered iron ore a few miles inland. Its extraction and processing became an important industry in the township for about one hundred and fifty years. A blast furnace constructed in 1822 in Port Henry was one of the first in the United States, and Republic Steel established major operations in the county. The village residents used Lake Champlain and the Hudson River to transport its ore and products to major markets such as Albany and New York City. Later a railroad connected the village to markets.

n.p. Cynthia Baldwin Avery, 2020. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. ix, [1], 318, [8] pages. Illustrations (including diagrams/maps). Footnotes. Short ink notation inside the front cover. Minor wear and soiling. Cindy Avery was born and raised in the small village of Aurora, New York, where her family had settled in 1795. She grew up knowing her father had been a World War II B-24 pilot who had been shot down over Germany, captured, and held as a German P.O.W. for a year. For the nearly twenty years after her father shared more details of his story, she dreamed of writing a book that filled in the gaps of his journey. After a long career in teaching and institutional fundraising, she retired to devote time to his extraordinary story. She says, “Writing My Father’s Journey was a roller coaster ride. It was fun-filled and heart-wrenching. It was, at times, hard to write and even harder to read. I went on some educational side trips when Dad casually referenced something that piqued my curiosity. I learned even more about him as well as the history of that time and the other men and women who represented ‘the Greatest Generation.’”. More

When the family of Lillian Leyb is destroyed in a Russian pogrom, Lillian comes to America alone, determined to make her way in a new land.

All of the qualities readers love in Amy Bloom's work--her humor and wit, her elegant and irreverent language, her unflinching understanding of passion and the human heart--come together in the embrace of this brilliant novel, which is at once heartbreaking, romantic, and completely unforgettable.
