Bøker av Harry Newman

This volume contains the genealogical history of seven colonial adventurers from four families: Cockey, Harwood, Ridgely (Robert Ridgely, Henry Ridgely, and William Ridgely), and Todd (Thomas Todd, shipwright, and Captain Thomas Todd)."My interest has not only been in studying the social and genealogical background of the Maryland pioneers, but during my frequent trips to Britain endless hours were spent in an attempt to bridge the gape [sic] between Maryland and the other side." - Harry Wright Newman.Each family section opens with a brief narrative. Individual genealogical sketches vary considerably in length, from multiple pages to a single paragraph, and provide a wealth of names (spouse(s), children, relatives and others) and dates (birth, marriage, death, etc.). Sketches may also provide any combination of the following: residence(s); information from estate inventories, deeds, wills, court documents, tombstone inscriptions, and other sources; occupation, military service, and/or civil/judicial/political service. Sources are listed at the end of each genealogy. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.

Wake Up, I love you is a story of adventure, suspense and romance. Obadiah Grant, born in 1870, finds himself in Central Park, in New York City in 2000. His discovery of a new life, personal relationships and modern conveniences is both astounding and terrifying. Obie's ability to sketch everything he sees fascinates everyone, especially Anne, the 21st century look-alike of his 19th century sweetheart. Wake Up, I Love You is a page turner, that will leave you feeling warm and happy, as you follow Obie's adventures. Renee Beach Halliburton, senior editor at Prentiss Hall School Division; formerly with Simon and Shuster, writes: There is an easy flow to your narrative, that is wonderful. The character development is good. We certainly see your young protagonist grow. I do like the way you tell a story - it's like listening to a good storyteller. It's even easy to follow, and you have a nice way with dialogue, I notice the emphasis on certain values - self growth, caring, friendship - and of course there is a love story. Nice job.
