Step into the rich tapestry of Alaskan Native traditions with this captivating collection of ancient myths, heroic legends, and spiritual tales. Carefully gathered and edited by Katharine Berry Judson, Myths and Legends of Alaska preserves the voices and stories of the indigenous peoples of the region—from the Tlingit to the Eskimo. Through tales of creation, nature spirits, animal guides, and legendary heroes, readers gain a deeper understanding of the values, beliefs, and cultural heritage that have shaped Alaska for centuries. This timeless volume is both a cultural treasure and a mesmerizing read for lovers of folklore, history, and the enduring power of storytelling.
Masters of Deceit is J. Edgar Hoover’s stark and revealing exposé of the Communist threat in mid-20th century America. Written by the long-serving director of the FBI, this book delves into the strategies, operations, and ideology of the Communist Party USA, aiming to educate citizens on how infiltration and subversion could endanger national security. Part manual, part warning, Masters of Deceit reflects Hoover’s unyielding stance on countering Communism and offers insight into the anxieties of the Cold War era.
In the borderlands where empires have clashed and vineyards grow from the soil of memory, Edith O’Shaughnessy weaves a luminous portrait of Alsace—a region suspended between past and present, between the fading embers of war and the quiet resilience of its people.
With the keen eye of a diplomat’s wife and the soul of a poet, O’Shaughnessy captures the textures of life in postwar Alsace: rusted iron gates flanked by golden leaves, shuttered homes that whisper in two tongues, and a landscape forever touched by the weight of history.
Part travelogue, part meditation, and part love letter to a haunted corner of France, Alsace in Rust and Gold is a lyrical exploration of identity, loss, and the quiet beauty that lingers in the aftermath of conflict.
In times of war, amidst the thunder of artillery and the long silences of waiting, U.S. soldiers often turned to the written word to stay connected to home. This collection of personal letters—sent during World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict—offers a deeply human perspective on some of the most pivotal moments in modern history. Written to mothers and fathers, wives and sweethearts, children, and friends, these letters reveal the courage, longing, humor, and resilience of those who served far from home.
These letters came to us unexpectedly, part of a large stamp collection we purchased with the intent of breaking it down and reselling it. But as we began reading, we realized their true value lay not in individual stamps or envelopes, but in the voices captured within. Rather than let them be scattered or forgotten, we felt it was only right to preserve and share them with the world.
We will be posting the letters gradually on our website over the course of several months, as time allows for scanning, transcribing, and providing historical footnotes. These notes will offer context, identify people and places where possible, and help modern readers better understand the times in which these letters were written.
We also warmly welcome comments, corrections, and any additional information readers may have. Each letter is a small part of a larger story, and we invite you to help us tell it more fully—with care, curiosity, and respect.
