The Legend of the Dysartsville Plymouth


Book Description

This book is about the times of growing up in the fifties as a baby boomer, living on a farm, and then moving to town, becoming a teenager, witnessing the growing pains of post-WWII America, and the turbulence of the Vietnam War and its consequences on American society. This book has romance and adventure, from cruising around town to actual accounts of the things that happened during that era that have diminished over time-sock hops, car hops, the county fair, the beginning of Rock N Roll from Elvis to the British Invasion, to men landing on the moon, to Americas march to the new drumbeat for freedom and equality for all, and the street drag racing scene of teenage America. This book puts the spotlight on the late sixties, which were the times that I call magical.

On Plymouth Rock (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

How much this story transcends all others was lately emphasized by the high honors paid to the ancient manuscript history of Plymouth Colony, written by Governor Bradford, upon its return to its rightful owners, in this country. Nobody can read it without being deeply moved. It takes us back, along the deep-flowing river of time, to the very fountain-head of our national life. It is a story to be proud of. Not to' the book alone, but to the grand heroism it tells us of, the sterling character it reveals, were these high honors paid. To the faint-hearted there is a strengthening power in its pages. To the strong it is a splendid example of serene fortitude, of high resolve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
