The Quest of Silverush by Carl Bilharz Pdf

Gwen, priestess of Sath Abbath, had been kidnapped. Her husband, Tarn Silverush, was determined to find her, however, he was passive in nature and it was contrary to his beliefs to fight or use weapons. A vision prompted him to set out for the elf lands. Unnatural storms raged in southern Andren while drought threatened the northlands. The enchantments of the Elvin forest dwindled and strange beasts roamed the outskirts. Brennik Fernswallow, elf lord and crown prince, led a small party of adventurers through peril to seek out an ancient dragon of legend in hopes of finding an answer. Meanwhile in another territory, a mysterious old man and a downfallen knight sought a talisman held by the Witch of Southern Felden. A talisman that could make or break the success of the elves. The dark wizard Arkon would destroy anyone who would interfere with his plans to dominate and rule over the realm of Andren. Just two things are needed; one pure in the faith of Sath Abbath and the Vilbor talisman, then the world would be his!

The Quest for “Just and Pure Law” by John Paul Enyeart Pdf

Focusing on the political culture forged by Rocky Mountain workers from the 1870s through the 1920s, this book shows how the unique working-class politics of the region led to remarkable successes in securing progressive labor legislation. These successes--especially in improving workers' hours, wages, and safety--in turn played a central role in transforming the nation's attitudes toward workers' rights. Examining political culture in the everyday lives of workers (from shop floors to union halls to recreation), the author uncovers a labor movement based as much on pragmatism as on ideology, and he traces how its members productively focused their efforts on political action at the local and state levels. In the process, they developed a genuinely social-democratic political culture.

The Enchanted Quest of Dana and Ginger Lamb by HuffmanKlinkowitz, Julie,Jerome Klinkowitz Pdf

Bestselling authors, sensational lecturers, documentary filmmakers, amateur archaeologists, spies for FDR--Dana and Ginger Lamb led the life of Indiana Jones long before the movie icon was ever scripted. "We blaze the trail," Ginger said, "and the scientists follow." The Enchanted Quest of Dana and Ginger Lamb is the first biography of this captivating, entrepreneurial couple. In southern California, they started married life in 1933 by building a canoe. With only $4.10 in their pockets, they paddled to Central America and through the Panama Canal. Three years later they returned triumphant, bearing a photographic record of the amazing trek that made them famous. After releasing their bestselling book, Enchanted Vagabonds, the two became exactly that. They relentlessly lectured for the public and mooned for the media until they were able to fund more exotic voyages to remote jungles and rivers. So convincing were they on the circuit that their most powerful fan, President Franklin Roosevelt, coerced J. Edgar Hoover into hiring the Lambs as spies in Mexico. After World War II, they launched their Quest for the Lost City, which yielded another book and documentary. Drawing on historical records, the Lambs' books and letters, and recently declassified espionage documents, biographers Julie Huffman-klinkowitz and Jerome Klinkowitz show how the Lambs succeeded in marketing their conquests and films to armchair explorers around the world and how they became, in popular imagination, the quintessential American adventurers.

Introduction by Jack Zipes • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read “Matthew had taken the scrawny little hand awkwardly in his; then and there he decided what to do.

But first she must convince the Cuthberts to let her stay, even though she isn’t the boy they’d hoped for. The loquacious Anne quickly finds her way into their hearts, as she has with generations of readers, and her charming, ingenious adventures in Avonlea, filled with colorful characters and tender escapades, linger forever in our memories. This Modern Library edition of the first of L. M. Montgomery’s beloved and immensely popular Avonlea novels features the restored original text.
