Revelations From the Dead: Chronicles of the Night Waster
Fischer, Max Willi
Welcome to the ghoulish side of American history
In an era where the void of science is filled with superstition, some believe the “Night Waster” preys upon the blood of the living to keep the dead alive. Thomas Sullivan, a cabinetmaker’s apprentice in northeastern Connecticut, helps the Shaffer family confront the ravages of the Night Waster while dealing with his own father’s rejection. The lung disease, consumption, and the economic Panic of 1837 are making life a trial for his master’s family as well as stirring the town’s paranoia. The mystery deepens when a family Bible reveals two Spanish doubloons. With a murder and covert interlopers probing for answers, suspicion in a local legend renews—the village pariah knows of the lost treasure of Benedict Arnold’s ill-fated Quebec raid. Thomas asserts himself and teams with the region’s newest minister to uncover the truth behind the legend of Arnold’s treasure. Together, they must solve the murder and come face to face with the Night Waster.

HOLD AT ALL HAZARDS: BIGELOW'S BATTERY AT GETTYSBURG, JULY 2, 1863
Jones, David H
The true story of the American Civil War
Hold At All Hazards not only tells a thrilling story of the bravery and devotion to duty of Bigelow’s Battery… it also reveals crucial moments of the great battle that may not be fully understood by many interested Americans. This is not surprising as most writings by historians are tightly focused on the actions of the infantry and generally ignore the often significant and at times decisive impact of artillery when victory or defeat hangs in the balance.
Among the exceptional actions that brought victory to the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg was the courageous stand by Bigelow’s Battery that enabled Major McGilvery’s hastily assembled Plum Run Line of artillery to plug a major gap in the main Union line in the evening hours of July 2, 1863.
The story of Bigelow’s Battery is one that simply must be told. Moments described in the novel reveal the transformation of the battery prior to the battle and the extraordinary competence and courage of the batterymen at Gettysburg.
