Viking Juvenile. New in New dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0670842958 . New book and dust jacket. No marks. The first-time author recalls a special Christmas when his  doubts about Santa Claus's existence were dispelled by a gift--  the exact bicycle he'd requested. Though Miles's remembrance is  just that, without any special force or drive, it evokes  universal childhood worries in clear, heartfelt language. Awake  the night before Christmas, Calvin is concerned that he won't get  his bike but is even more disturbed by the idea that he might  disappoint his parents with his reaction to more modest gifts. In  Johnson's realistic paintings, the African-American family is  warmly portrayed, crafting the holiday from simple pleasures like  popcorn strings and brightly painted pine cones for the tree. The  people, glowing in the light of a kerosene lantern, seem sculpted  from the page. Genuine sentiments, sweetly… Read More

Northeastern. New. 1998. Paperback. 1555533450 . New book. No marks. Very slight scuff on cover edge. ; 0.57 x 9.34 x 6.2 Inches; During the nineteenth century, Methodist camp meetings--woodland revivals lasting several days--flourished throughout the United States. These tented villages often evolved into permanent communities with unique campground cottages and distinctive spatial configurations. The Wesleyan Grove camp meeting, founded on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, in 1835, is the premier example of this distinctive American design. Anonymous planners and builders at the site innovated the richly decorated miniature cottages and maze-like layouts that were replicated at dozens of late Victorian campgrounds across the country. In 1867, Oak Bluffs, a planned resort that mimicked the eccentric architecture of Wesleyan Grove, was laid out next to the already famous camp meeting. Together, these two extraordinary communities generated a sense of otherworldliness, a magical… Read More

Dust jacket has a couple of small scratches on front and a soft crease on the back. Connecticut in the American Civil War offers readers a remarkable window into the state's involvement in a conflict that challenged and defined the unity of a nation. The arc of the war is traced through the many facets and stories of battlefield, home front, and factory. Matthew Warshauer masterfully reveals the varied attitudes toward slavery and race before, during, and after the war; Connecticut's reaction to the firing on Fort Sumter; the dissent in the state over whether or not the sword and musket should be raised against the South; the raising of troops; the sacrifice of those who served on the front and at home; and the need for closure after the war. This book is a concise, amazing account of a complex and troubling war. No one interested… Read More
