Molly Proust is the type of character I would like to meet. Having taught British Literature for years, I'm always interested in characters who reflect the ones I am most fond of from the novels I've read in the past. Molly Proust not only resembles the famous Moll Flanders (as well as some others from Brit Lit), but she shines on her own. The voice in this electronically published work is exceptionally strong, wry, irreverent, and totally British. Jeanne Lake is (dare I say it?) extremely close to being the contemporary version of James Joyce, a writer I dearly love, and that is the highest compliment I can pay her. Can't wait to read her next work!

The book has a very interesting approach to a wide range of topics in maths. Uses lots of anecdotes and historical facts to motivate the reader. I haven't really sat down to the exercises, but I love the stories and pointers.. sure shall get at the sources mentioned, sometime.

This is a wonderful book filled with delicious recipes. They use common ingredients & most are fairly easy to make. Recipes include French toast, pancakes, cereals, fruits, beverages, desserts, muffins, & baked goods.

Egg, meat & cheese dishes including soufflés, quiches, & casseroles are here as well. Each recipe has a description of the B&B it is from along with contact information An index also lists the inns by city.

Some of my favorite recipes include the peach coffee cake, morning pizza, & broccoli bake. I also enjoyed the carrot cookies. My overnight guest loved the surprise French toast made with cream cheese & pecans.

I really love the section in the back filled with household hints. I found these very useful as they really do help save time & money. They have also helped make guests at my at home feel more welcome.

Thomas Lacy has done an excellent job of building a sense of place for the Priest Lake area in this book. He has done this by keeping alive the human histories of the common, unsung inhabitants of a wild and beautiful region; people whose lives and everyday living were shaped by the rugged environment. In these times of a mobile busy society it is good to take of book like Kaniksu and look back to the days and places where human history and the natural environment moved down parallel trails.

If you enjoy reading factual historical narratives about the Great Lakes you will find this book hard to put down. I liked the mixture of stories about ships, lifesavers, and lighthouses and am looking forward to reading more books by Wes Oleszewski.

Modern "keepers of valor" are the US Coast Guard, other organizations, and sometimes ordinary people who risk their lives to rush to the aid of those in peril on the seas. So who were the "keepers of valor" in the late 1800's?

Keepers of Valor- Lakes of Vengeance is a collection of 25 short stories about lakeboats, lifesavers, and lighthouses during the last quarter of 1800's. The Preface includes a short history of the United States Lifesaving Service and the establishment of Lifesaving Stations around the Great Lakes in 1876. Many, but not all of the stories, are about the heroic deeds of the early lifesavers who braved savage winds and waves to rescue mariners from their stranded or sinking vessels using specially designed double ended oar propelled surf boats.

These stories are the result of the author's research of news accounts, official government records, personal interviews and site visits. Most stories have never been told before. All are written in an entertaining and inspirational style. Each is presented in a unique way making me want to learn more about the event or visit the places described.

I learned what it was like to be a Station Keeper or Surfman constantly drilling for lifesaving duty while keeping a watchful eye for vessels in distress. I enjoyed riding with the lifeboat crews as they rowed through the surf and out beyond sight of land to perform actions of courage that often defied explanation. Photographs and maps included with each story helped me visualize what it must have been like to have been there.

Most of the shipwrecks described resulted when overloaded, under-powered, poorly maintained vessels encountered extremely violent storms. Some occur on Lake Michigan, some on Lake Huron and others on Lake Erie. With no organized weather forecasting, Captains often started a voyage in good weather only to encounter very different weather during the trip. Taking refuge in port or behind protecting land often but not always saved their lives. While researching for some of his stories, the author has actually located wrecks, which were previously not identified.

I had a report to do on Knightsville, and I visited all of the local libraries, but I couldn't find anything good. Anything I could find, didn't help me to peice together the history. Anyway, I went to Borders and found this! It saved my life!

I've been buying these books since the 80's. They contain Names, Sizes, & other details about any ship on the Great Lakes. Also some great photos.
