Description:
A really entertaining telling of the history of the Allan clan and early Vermont. Many outside of the state do not know Vermont is the 14th state because it refused to join the other 13 and was an independent nation for awhile after the Revolution. Nor that both New York and New Hampshire (and Canada) at various times wanted to absorb it into their states. Ethan and his brothers (notably Ira) were the main reason behind keeping Vermont independent, masterfully playing the rough game of colonial politics as amusingly recounted in this book. It does fade at the end, mainly because (spolier!) Ethan, the most outrageous of the bunch, dies, and Ira's last years took place outside of Vermont and thus were hastily told. Overall though a very enjoyable read. The Stephen Green Press, First Edition, #s' line 1-76. Very Good, solid, clean text, no writing, light soiling at head and fore-front. DJ Very Good, three small closed tears. Front flap clipped. A Very interesting read.

Bruce Gold, a middle-aged, Jewish professor of English literature, finds himself on the brink of a golden career in politics -- and not a moment too soon, as Gold yearns for an opportunity to transform a less-than-picture-perfect life: His children think little of him, his intimidating father endlessly bullies him, and his wife is so oblivious that she doesn't even notice he's left her.

Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two...Heritage Club Edition, copyright 1956-1984 Heritage Press.
