Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Beecher Preachers by Jean Fritz What could a housewife with six children do about slavery? Harriet Beecher Stowe grew up in a family in which her seven brothers were expected to be successful preachers and the four girls were never to speak in public. But slavery made Harriet so angry she couldn't keep quiet. Although she used a pen rather then her voice to convince people of the evils of slavery, she became more famous than any of her brothers. She firmly believed that words can make change, and by writing Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe hastened the Civil War and changed the course of American history. $5.99 soft cover |

Billy Boy The Sunday Soldier of the 17th Maine by Jean Mary Flahive Twenty-year-old Billy Laird can’t read or write, and as his Pa says, “his mind just don’t work the way most folks’ do.” But Billy has a heart of gold and good friends in his hometown of Berwick, Maine, and when they rush to enlist in the Union Army, he knows he has to go with them. He is ill prepared for the training and fighting that follows, but he gets by with the help of his friends. Soon, however, he is sent alone to a different unit. Lonely and unsure of what to do on his own, Billy runs off and meets up with a runaway slave, Elijah. Together, the two make their way north to their fates. Inspired by a true event, this tale of friendship, loyalty, and compassion will enthrall readers of all ages. $15.95 soft cover |

The Wilding House Mystery by Barbara Schestopol Craig An old possible haunted house on a hill, two teenagers alone, and a stormy night with a creepy hunched over intruder knocking at the door sets the scene for intrigue and trepidation. After leaving their mother, friends, and Boston for the summer, Rachel and Scott are somewhat reluctant to help run a country inn with their dad and stepmother in quiet, quaint, Maine. As the plot moves along the two teenagers are confronted with strange happenings at the inn. Antiques are suddenly missing, the family boat is untied, strange guests are checking in and the entire atmosphere begins to feel spooky. Could it be because back in the 1860’s, Civil War days, the house was part of an Underground Railroad System for run-away slaves? Was someone murdered? Or could it all be a hoax? But why does the mystery keep growing as new characters register for a stay at the house on the hill? Pieces to the puzzle begin to fit as Rachel’s sleuthing pays off and her feelings toward her stepmother and Maine drastically change. “The impact of family separation upon the young – hits home!” $12.95 soft cover | |

Their second child, Edward Baker, died at the age of four, and is not pictured here. Included are 5 dolls and 32 authentic costumes, carefully researched and rendered with extraordinary skill and attention to every nuance of fabric and style. Among the costumes presented: President Lincoln: a white frock coat with white straw hat, worn during the Lincoln-Douglas debates; a formal cutaway jacket with claw-hammer tails, white tie and vest, and familiar stovepipe hat; the suit Lincoln wore when he gave the Gettysburg Address, including the legendary fringed shawl over his shoulders, and more. Mary Todd Lincoln: an evening gown of gold silk, trimmed in gold lace, satin bows and braid; a walking ensemble of red, gold, and turquoise brocaded silk with a black velvet vest and shawl; a military-style cape with gold bouclé epaulettes atop a navy silk traveling dress, and others. Robert, Willie and Tad Lincoln: Among the outfits worn by the three boys: Tad sports a canvas coat with a knitted-wool lining and a black bearskin hat; one of Robert's costumes is a Chesterfield-style coat with a velvet collar and checked woolen trousers; Willie is resplendent in a formal jacket of wine velvet with a gold closure in the front, black wool trousers with a gold stripe, and a soft velour wide-brimmed hat. These and many other colorful ensembles recall the clothing and style of the first family in the 1860s.
