Elizabeth the Hero (Sweet Valley Twins and Friends, No 74)
Published in Paperback by Bantam Skylark (November, 1993)
Average review score:
You're a hero, Lizzie!I found this book so nice. It tells how Elizabeth Wakefield is a real kind-hearted girl. I think it is just coincidence how she was able to save Denny Jacobson several times. But I'm glad they came up with such brilliant idea to get rid of Denny-and Janet Howell at the same time. Wakefield siblings are incredibly clever!

From the Place in the Valley Deep in the Forest: Stories
Published in Paperback by Dufour Editions (January, 2002)
Average review score:
small moments on a big planetAn excellent collection, with exceptionally vivid characters. Not all of the stories struck me with the same weight, but the ones that did--"Voice Of The Sun," "Wormwood," "Viv's Bidding," "Totem"--are among the best short fiction I've read in a long while. Lesser pieces like "Sifting Through" and the title story are still better than most, though they seemed somewhat brisk in their presentation. A minor qualm, and one that may have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the quality, length, and richness of the other stories. A highly recommended debut of short fiction.
Around the world in 8 storiesAn incredibly written, insightful, flat-out great collection of stories. Loved the shift of regions and locales, but it's the strong characters that move these stories along. The ending story about the Alaskan boy just concluded the whole thing beautifully. 2002 has just begun, but this one will probably remain high up on my list.
The Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, 1701-1936
Published in Unknown Binding by Detroit Soc Genealogical Res (1976)
Average review score:
French Families of the Detroit River RegionI have used this book by Father Denissen many times over the last 28 years. I find it very useful and most accurate. I have used Father Dennision's information as a spring board to finding and verifing birth, marriage and death information on my ancestors. I marvel at the task he accomplished without computers. He has given me complete generations on many of my lines. If you have French families in this area of the country I advise you to start with these books you will not regret the time you spend searching through these two volumns.
French Families of the Detroit River RegionWonderful reference books with very accurate information, has been loads of help with my research.
In Search of Ghosts: Haunted Places in the Delaware Valley
Published in Paperback by Camino Books (October, 1992)
Average review score:
Get ready for goosebumps!I enjoyed this book. It was fun to read the stories behind some familiar places. There were even a few I was not aware of their haunted history. It was alittle unsettling reading about the General Wayne Inn especially after the recent murder which by the way was not mentioned.Judging from the publishing date the event had not happened yet. This would be a great book to read outloud around the campfire!
What Great StoriesThese true stories of haunted houses in the Delaware Valley are going to raise your level of curiosity. If you live there read it!
Indian Summer : A True Account of Traditional Life Among the Choinumne Indians of California's San Joaquin Valley
Published in Paperback by Heyday Books (November, 1993)
Average review score:
An Inside Look at the Indians of the San Joaquin ValleyThomas Jefferson Mayfield was only six years old when his family first laid eyes on the grand beauty of the primal San Joaquin Valley in Central California. The year was 1850 and California had just been admitted to the Union as a free state. The Mayfield family settled near Sycamore Creek, east of what is now Bakersfield. The Choinume Yocuts Indians inhabited the region and Thomas Jefferson Mayfield later recalled that the Indians were kind and compassionate to these visitors in their land. On many occasions they showed great care for their welfare.
The Indians provided meat and food stuff during desperate times, without ever being asked. After the brief illness and death of his mother, the Indian women asked Mr. Mayfield if they could watch over little Thomas during his many absences. He knew his son would be in better company with them than the white settlers and gladly agreed to the arrangement. For ten years he grew up knowing security and peace with the Choinumne Indians. He learned their ways and their language, their games and hunting techniques.
Conflict was in store for this peaceful tribe; the Monache Indians of the upper foothills and the settlers became overtly hostile. The Yocuts were the ones caught in the middle. Not only did Thomas Jefferson watch the landscape change, but he also watched his beloved guardians decimated by civilization.
This is Thomas Jefferson Mayfield's spoken testimony to historian Frank Latta of those precious ten years. The book is pleasantly laid out in a sequence that is easy to follow. The large print also makes this publication a joy to read.
RARE HISTORICAL COMMENTARYAs a fifth generation native of California, I had never heard of such a case where a white child lived with any of the local tribes prior to decimation and influence of outside influences. The true nature of these early natives is thus revealed with great credibility. This remarkable experience of the young Mayfield was almost lost when he revealed his story in 1928 for the first time just prior to his death at age 85. Still, it was not until 1993 that this story was published in it's pure and beautiful essence for the modern reader to enjoy and appreciate.
Into the Valley: The Settlers
Published in Hardcover by Forge (April, 2003)
Average review score:
powerful trek to 1780 in the Ohio ValleyIn 1780, the American Colonies close to the ocean are embroiled in hostilities with the English military. Further inland in places along the Ohio River, the locals barely feel the war. Most residents are neutrally ambivalent or lean towards loyalty to the crown with few freedom fighters. In Willow Creek, like most of the Ohio Valley settlements, the Revolution takes a back stage to farming and family. Luke Wilde works the land whether he is an English subject or an American citizen. However, his brother Jeremiah has wandered the wilderness and thus has a wider perspective so he desires freedom at any cost.
After being away for three years, Jeremiah returns to Willow Creek on the eve of his sibling's marriage to Annie Barnes. Jeremiah loves Annie, but knows she is better off with his brother, which is why he left in the first place. His arrival brings the British army to previously peaceful Willow Creek forcing the two brothers to join in arms against the oppressor while Annie remains wild about both men.
THE SETTLERS is an exciting historical tale that looks closely at a segment of American Revolutionary War society often ignored by textbooks. The vivid story line brings to the forefront the varying feelings including internal conflict towards the war and the crown. This leads to deep characterizations, at least on the colonial side. The English come across as caricatures because they appear as abusive brutes rather than concerned individual with some doubts about fighting their Anglo brothers. Fans of strong Americana novels will appreciate Roseanne Bittner's powerful trek to 1780 in the Ohio Valley.
Harriet Klausner
No surpriseI loved this book ( no surprise). Rosanne never disappoints. The only thing about this book that could have been different was there could have been more with Jesse, Noah and the boys as they were growing up. Can't wait for the next book.
