Arcadia is a story of undying love set during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War. Two children, Gabriel and Lorena found a very special, mystical place near their homes in the Appalachian hills of southern Ohio and claimed it as their own. They named it Arcadia and at this place, they grew up, fell in love and promised each other that they would be together for eternity. The Civil War separated the two for a while, a long while, but Lorena knew in her heart that someday Gabriel would return and they would once again be as happy as the first day they laid eyes on Arcadia. Some say that Arcadia was a special place that God created and preserved for these two individuals. Some say it is a fluke of nature. The story of Gabriel, Lorena and Arcadia became a family story that was passed down generation to generation along with a warning not to interfere with the happenings there. An old man, a descendant who experienced some of these strange happenings, decides to pass the story on to his family.

Was the “Shot heard round the World” at Lexington actually an echo from the gently rolling hills around the confluence of the Great Kanawha and Ohio Rivers? Was the Battle of Point Pleasant actually the first battle of the American Revolution? At the beginning of the 20th century, through the tireless efforts of Mrs. Livia Nye Simpson Poffenbarger, the battle site, the monuments and the recognition by congress that this was a ”battle of the Revolution” were secured. If it was indeed a battle of the Revolution, then it was the first as it occurred six months before the fight at Lexington. Her adversary was Virgil Anson Lewis, noted Historian and Archivist for the State of West Virginia. Both he and Livia wrote books on this controversial subject and these books are both presented complete in this volume. This book has some very interesting, thought provoking facts and speculations for you to consider as you ponder the works of these two historians and form your own opinion.

“Smashmouth Football”That term came from the way the game of American Football was coached and played at the end of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th century. Coach Daly compared the game of football to war and that’s how he played and coached the game. Almost all of the well known, best coaches of the time used basically the same principles in training and game planning as Coach Daly describes in this book.“The defensive line man may take a low position inside his opponent and make a straight charge with one hand on the throat and the other on the face, thus moving the opponent by steering his head. Or he may, in charging, step to the outside, striking a blow on the side of the opponent''s head.” Charles Dudley Daly

In the year 1787, George Washington was President of the newly formed Government of the United States of America. The vast area west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River was acquired from Great Britain by the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The British had forbidden white settlement there to appease the Indians. At the end of the American Revolution, the United States now claimed this territory by “Right of Conquest” over Great Britain and with the creation of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 opened it up for white settlement against the protests of the Indians who still considered it their land. The first permanent American settlement northwest of the Ohio River was Marietta in the year 1788. It was not an easy life for these early pioneers. This book chronicles the events from the earliest explorations of the territory, the purchase of lands by The Ohio Company, the early settlements and the trying times of the early pioneers who settled and tamed this original Northwest Territory.

This book was created from the original title” American Slavery as it is in 1839-Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses” written by Theodore Weld. It was the book that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to pen her novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and along with that book, helped ignite the flames of the American Civil War. The first hand, eyewitness accounts in this book both shocked and infuriated many people in the northern free states who knew that slavery was bad...but had no idea just how bad it really was. The Abolitionist movement took off and began to grow with increased pressure being put on our government to end this abomination. The southern slave states bitterly opposed any new laws to remove this blight from our country and the end result was Civil War.

This book which was originally written in 1838, contains the true life stories of four of the greatest pioneers and frontiersmen who ever lived and participated in the early settlement of the territory northwest of the Ohio River which was opened for settlement by the Ordinance of 1787. In those days the old growth forest spread her canopy over the land and in her shadows lurked dangers of every kind. Many unwary pioneers and settlers lost their lives in wresting this land from the Indians who claimed it for their own and were willing to fight and die to keep it. The author, John McDonald not only knew these men personally, he also shared in many of the same adventures right along with them. His first hand knowledge and experience of the events shows itself in his writing.
