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.

Description:
The first-ever collection from the archives of the legendary Chairman of the Board, filled with never-before-seen photos, letters, mementos, and more. What is a legend? A legend is a man who, more than 65 years after stepping on stage for the first time, is still larger than life. A man who changed the way we wear our hats. A man possessed not of a voice, but The Voice. Frank Sinatra is a legend. Created in conjunction with the Frank Sinatra Estate, THE SINATRA TREASURES tells the story of Sinatra's life with rare and never-before-published quotes from those he loved and those he worked with--and from the Chairman of the Board himself. More than 200 black-and-white and full-color images from several Sinatra archives, as well as 30 removable facsimile reproductions of items, such as a script from one of his radio shows and a Sinatra family photo album, provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Sinatra's world and talent. Also included is a new compilation CD of rare interviews, early radio appearances,…
