The drive for assimilation in millions of US immigrants has buried many of our origins and the hobby of Genealogy has only recently gained widespread interest. Pioneers is a look at one immigrant family, the Kearneys, whose journey through a new land culminated in a stint in the Whitehouse. This is the incredible story of how the nation's first African-American President is also a direct descendent of post-famine Irish immigrants. Barack Obama has referred to his mother, Ann Dunham, as 'the dominant figure i

"Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Cool Water" are only a couple of the hundreds of songs created by the Sons of the Pioneers, the most famous singing group in the history of Western music. Charter members Roy Rogers (Len Slye), Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer, and brothers Hugh and Karl Farr (two gifted instrumentalists from Texas) developed a unique style of vocal control and harmony that became the group's trademark. During the 1930s and 1940s, the prolific Nolan, along with other members of the Pioneers, composed hundreds of new songs, primarily for film appearances. Although Roy Rogers left the group for movie stardom, the Pioneers appeared with the King of the Cowboys in forty-two films. There were one hundred movie appearances in all, including Rio Grande and The Searchers with John Wayne. Alumni... Less

Cookbooks & DVDs - My name is Ree.Some folks know me as The Pioneer Woman.After years of living in Los Angeles, I made a pit stop in my hometown in Oklahoma on the way to a new, exciting life in Chicago. It was during my stay at home that I met Marlboro Man, a mysterious cowboy with steely blue eyes and a muscular, work-honed body. A strict vegetarian, I fell hard and fast, and before I knew it we were married and living on his ranch in the middle of nowhere, taking care of animals, and managing a brood of four young children. I had no idea how I'd wound up there, but I knew it was exactly where I belonged. "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined my experience in the country. I share many of the delicious... Less

The Inlet is a rich historical document of a wild and beautiful part of BC's west coast and a gripping tale of one family's struggles to navigate a modern-day pioneer existence in a place called Loughborough. The author/artist Helen Piddington and her husband Dane Campbell settled there in 1975 with their two-year-old daughter Arabella. Their reasons for moving were different. For Dane, a professional photographer wanting to write, the place offered safe moorage for his beloved sailboat Native Girl. For Helen, an artist at the height of her career, it meant the possibility of more time for printmaking and that the family would be together year round. But, captivated by problems ashore, they found little time for extras. Inlet life is not easy. Everything depends on you: your effort, wit... Less

Each year for a decade, A.A. writer and historian Dick B. has given a seminar at Bill Wilson's birthplace (called The Wilson House) on the history of early A.A.'s spiritual roots and successes. This particular title points up the declaration by A.A. co-founder Bill Wilson and by A.A. Number Three Bill Dotson that the Lord had cured each of what he termed this terrible disease, and that each just wanted to keep telling others about it. Dotson called this phraseology The Golden Text of A.A. And A.A. published that golden text at page 191 of its basic text Alcoholics Anonymous (See Big Book, page 191). I'd estimate that not one in five hundred AAs has ever seen or discussed or understood this golden text. Most are told just to read the first 164 pages of the Big Book. And the words Lord and...

Following the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Steve Lerner spent four years searching out people he came to call "eco-pioneers"—the modern pathfinders who are working in the American pragmatic tradition to reduce the pace of environmental degradation. In this book, Lerner puts a human face on Earth Summit rhetoric, finding out what sustainable development actually looks like in the United States. He provides case studies of eco-pioneers who are inventing sustainable ways to log forests, grow food, save plant species, run cattle, build houses, clean up cities, redesign rural communities, generate power, conserve water, protect rivers and wildlife, treat hazardous waste, reuse materials, and reduce both consumption and waste. Together they are creating ways of living and working that... Less

In this book, Dr. O'Brien extends his thesis, begun in A Hidden Phase of American History, that numerous Irishmen participated in the American Revolution, by demonstrating that the Irish were represented in the American colonies from the beginning of the colonial period. The author has combed through passenger lists, tax lists, marriage records, church records, and military records, as well as secondary sources such as James Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, to unearth a plethora of references to persons of Irish birth or descent among the colonists of New England. Thus in one instance the author has located Cormac Annis from Enniskillen, Ireland in Newbury, Massachusetts in 1666; in another it is Charles McCarthy, one of the founders of East Greenwich, Rhode...
