Into the Garden at Pleasant Grove With Meriwether and Jeremiah (Excerpt from ENEMY OF THE KING)

1780 South Carolina

Stone lions the size of wolfhounds sat on either side of the imposing front door as if to devour unwanted guests. Perhaps Jeremiah enjoyed their significance. He seldom entertained and seemed happier seated astride a horse than in the company of most ladies and gentlemen. He turned the marble knob and led Meriwether out onto the crescent-shaped balcony. He leaned momentarily on the iron railing. “Feel that… Continue

THE TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN EMOTIONAL LIFE?

I would like someone at BMN to explain to me the psychological, emotional and literary significance of "Twilight," described as a young adult vampire novel. I think it's perverted, and demonstrates the degeneracy of American youth. Ted

Gold Fever!

To my Ning friends,

There is an excellent article entitled Gold Fever! in the January/February 2008 issue of The History Channel Magazine. This article details the lust for riches in the Klondike area of Alaska at the turn of the 20th century.

The article by Mike Coppock notes that the gold fortunes from the Klondike funded Mack Trucks, Gruman's Chinese Theater, Madison Square Gardens, the Brown Derby restaurant, real-estate holdings and even an ice-cream empire. Old west… Continue
