Pella history
This fictionalized history of the settlement of the Dutch in Pella, Iowa is definitely worth reading. It's an inspiring story of the faith and trials of the Dutch people escaping persecution in the Netherlands and establishing their colony in the Pella where they relish their freedom to worship without the interference of the government. Gives a new appreciation for religious freedom that we ...

The Presidencies of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore (American Presidency Series)

Two maligned presidents receive the credit due them
Of all the presidents, Millard Fillmore may have the worst public perception. There is even a group spoofing him as the most forgettable president in history. I first learned of this group when Johnny Carson mentioned it during a monologue on an episode of the Tonight Show. It is of course absolutely false; Fillmore was a strong president with deeply held beliefs who acted in the best interests ...

scholarly but accessible feminist look at Austen et al.
I was anxious to read this book because I've always enjoyed 18th and 19th century literature, and believed that the humor found in the works of Austen and Burney were overlooked and undermentioned. Author Bilger examines the works of Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen, and posits that the humor they used was subversive -- laughter at the expense of the overbearing patriarchal ...

Polk: The Man Who Transformed The Presidency
Polk The Man Who Transformed the Presidency and America By Walter R. Borneman If asked to name those who have served as President of the United States, few average Americans would be able to offer more than a handful of names. Among those least likely to be named is that of James Knox Polk our eleventh president. Yet, in a 1948 poll of leading historians conducted by the late Arthur ...

University Press of Kansas, 1987

Polk's Presidency Story Told Well
There are too few treatments of one of America's most significant presidencies, that of James Knox Polk. A friend asked "what was the deal about Polk" while I was reading the book. The answer is: "well, do you like the American Southwest and Washington state?" Polk was responsible for both being gained for our country in their present forms. Bergeron's book is a good academic telling of ...
