This book consists of forty-three individual stories of true hunting, fishing, or related events, experienced by the author, his relatives and friends, over a period of sixty-five years.

The sprinkling of names from her background in India gives some of the poems a pleasing intonation, and her penchant for the "English" spelling is...

A man of shameless ambition and ruthless vindictiveness, Long orchestrated elections, hired and fired thousands at will, and deployed the state militia as his personal police force. And yet, paradoxically, as governor and later as senator, Long did more good for the ...

Die henochischen Schlüssel oder Rufe sind Beschwörungen in der Henochischen Sprache, die auch die Sprache der Engel genannt wird.
