Without a doubt, this book is one of the best information sources on Charles Town in the 18th Century available. As a living history interpreter, I am constantly on the lookout for books which fill in minute details for my character. This book provided some of the best base information I've found to date on day to day life and events in the port city.

This work in the words of Professor Besserman "interprets the significance of the pervasive biblical diction, imagery and themes in Chaucer's works in relation to the literary, social and political contexts of late medieval biblical poetics."
It enriches our knowledge not only of Chaucer but of the Medieval mindset. It also shows how a great literary artist makes use of his sources.
A true scholarly delight.

Author and museum director Duane King presents The Cherokee Trail of Tears, a close examination of the true story behind the catastrophe that the American government inflicted on the Cherokee people. In 1838, fifteen thousand Cherokees were imprisoned in preparation for forced transport to Indian Territory in Oklahoma. Fifteen hundred died before the long, hard march started. The Cherokee Trail of Tears draws heavily upon historical records ranging from eyewitness diaries to newspaper accounts, nineteenth-century maps, oral traditions and more to recreate the painful journey. Illustrated with inset sections of full-color photographic plates taken by award-winning photographer David G. Fitzgerald, The Cherokee Trail of Tears is an indispensable addition to high school, college, and public library Native American history shelves.
