Ship Ablaze : The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum52 reviews
Edward T. O'Donnell, 2003

Hidden From History
This disaster has been hidden from historical references better than anything I've ever come across. Over 1,000 people die horribly, mostly women and children, and the following has occurred: The 2004 Microsoft Encarta DVD Encyclopedia makes absolutely no reference to this event. The book "New York Times Page One" does not show this as one of it's important front page dates. The book ...

William Wells and Maconaquah: White Rose of the Miamis2 reviews
Julia M. Gilman

Jewel Pub, 1985

This is a Fantastic and Unique Historical Novel You'll Enjoy
I read this book the first time in 1985, eighteen years ago. The book is a historical fictional novel. The people and events that took place actually occured. The author filled in some of what may have been said, although she researched the book thoroughly on location and refered to some diaries and letters for dialogue. The reseach took place over many years. I spent many long days at the ...

Nancy E. Marchand-Martella, Timothy A. Slocum, ...

Allyn & Bacon, 2003

Great book full of resources
This is a wonderful introduction to Direct Instruction - one of the most effective methods of teaching ever created. I used Direct Instruction in a 6th grade classroom where half of the students couldn't read 3 and 4 letter words. By the end of the year, my students were reading like 5th graders, 120 words a minute. This book gives a teacher or parent the tools to apply Direct Instruction to ...

Capt. Joshua Slocum: The Life and Voyages of the America's Best Known Sailor1 review
Victor Slocum

Sheridan House, 1993

A welcome prefeace to Joshua Slocum's 'lone' journey
Having read SAILING ALONE AR0UND THE WORLD, I found Victor's book enlighening. He is not the writer his father was, but his recollections fill out the years of preparation leading eventually to his father's 'sailing alone around the world.' If it lacks the poetic style of his father, it does refer to his mother and ships owned and sailed by his father which lends romance(both senses)and ...
