No parent is ever ready for a terminal diagnosis of their child. No mother should see the day where turning off your son's ventilator is the only option to end his pain. And no grandfather should see the day when your grandchild is scheduled to die in his mother's arms. But on September 10, 2005, this was the harsh reality facing our family, and this was the day we''d never forget. I am no pastor; nor a preacher. I am no miracle worker, nor a missionary. I am a struggling husband, a decent father, a survivor of brutal child abuse, and from the miraculous survival and extraordinary life of a Progeria child, I am a believer saved by the Grace of God through Jesus Christ. In A Short Season: Faith, Family, and a Boy's Love for Baseball, Dave Bohner, the story''s narrator and Grandfather to Josiah, and Jake Gronsky, former professional baseball player with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, tell the powerful story of Josiah Viera''s fight for life that not only sparked a family's journey towards healing but inspired a generation of baseball players from one of the most historic organizations in Major League Baseball. A Short Season is a story of hope; a story of acceptance; and a story of faith based on the idea that sometimes a person''s only journey to peace is first trekked through pain. A Short Season is a family''s journey through sorrow and joy, it is a baseball team''s inspiration, and it is the story of one exceptional child''s ray of hope that changed all of their lives forever.

George Croghan, (c. 1720-1782), was an American colonial trader who won the confidence of Indian tribes and negotiated numerous treaties of friendship with them on behalf of the British government. He served as deputy superintendent of northern Indian affairs for 16 years (1756-72).Migrating from Ireland in 1741, Croghan settled on the western frontier near Carlisle, Pa., and won early success in trade with the Indians. His rapport with the Indians was helped by his early mastery of their customs and languages, and he quickly expanded his trading enterprises throughout the adjacent Ohio Territory. Appointed as Indian agent for Pennsylvania in the 1740s, he wrested the allegiance of the area Indians from the French and negotiated the Treaty of Lancaster (1748) with the Miami and the Treaty of Logstown (1752) with the Delaware, Shawnee, Iroquois, and Wyandot.After the outbreak of the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) of 1754-63, Croghan's far-flung trading business collapsed, and he accepted an appointment as chief deputy to Sir William Johnson, the British superintendent of northern Indian affairs. In this capacity, he conducted extensive negotiations for more than a decade with tribes that complained of abuses in the fur trade and encroachments of white settlers upon their land. Croghan undertook to negotiate an end to Pontiac's War (1763-64) and succeeded in concluding a settlement with the rebellious Ottawa chief in 1765.This book is a revised second edition of the 1926 release with additional pictures and maps. This book is also indexed.

First published in 1806, the Memoirs of Dr. Joseph Priestley was written in three parts, the first two by Priestley and the third by his son after Priestley's death in 1804. By 1787, when Priestley completed the first part, he had become a contented, successful man in his early 50s. He was a minister of a large congregation, a member of the intellectual Lunar Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He had won recognition for a scientific paper describing a process to make carbonated water and for his observation "that plants, instead of affecting the air in the same manner with animal respiration, reverse the effects of breathing." He had also discovered oxygen. The second section, which Priestley wrote in 1795 during a self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, describes his life as one of England's most controversial Dissenters. It details the rioters who in 1791 burned his residence in Birmingham, England, thereby "demolishing my library, apparatus, and, far as they could, everything belonging to me." The third and final segment was written after Priestley died in Northumberland, Pa. His son, Joseph Priestley Jr., drew heavily on a 1794 sermon in which his father documented the persecution that the Priestley family suffered following the riot and during the years before they sailed to America. In the book's early chapters, Priestley comes across as a happy, grateful man. "Providence," he noted, "... always took more care of me than I ever took of myself." By the book's end, the great man-who never returned to England after leaving in 1794-had become older and wiser, but not bitter. As his final days approached, he was pleased, he said, to be dying quietly, at home, without pain, and with his family.

The Indian Chiefs of Pennsylvania is a factual account of the indigenous history of North America's Eastern Frontier and the contributions made by many outstanding chiefs in shaping it. Originally published in 1927, this 570-page book is one of the classics of Eastern Frontier Indian history. From the formation of the Iroquois confederation in 1570 through Cornplanter's death in 1836, Sipe discusses the tribes that inhabited Pennsylvania and how their forced migration westward across the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania into the Ohio country lit the fires that would keep the western frontier ablaze for the next forty years. As you read Indian Chiefs, you begin to know and understand the motivation the natives had in trying to hold onto their native land and the conflicts that would result. Pennsylvania was the gateway to the west through which all the major players of the Indian wars would pass: Indian traders, frontiersmen, and pioneer families. The final 100 pages detail Indian events of Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary War complete with a chronological table of leading events in the indigenous history of Pennsylvania.¿

Teedyuscung (c. 1700-1763) was known as "King of the Delawares." He worked to establish a permanent Lenape (Delaware) home in eastern Pennsylvania in the Lehigh, Susquehanna, and Delaware River valleys. Teedyuscung participated in the Treaty of Easton, which resulted in the surrender of Lenape claims to all lands in Pennsylvania. Following the treaty, the Lenape were forced to live under the control of the Iroquois in the Wyoming Valley near modern-day Wilkes-Barre. Teedyuscung was murdered by arsonists on the night of April 19, 1763. This marked the beginning of the end of the Lenape presence in Pennsylvania. This biography of Teedyuscing was Anthony Wallace's first book, published in 1949.

William Gould "W.G." Raymond was a staunch abolitionist and Union officer. A preacher. Under Lincoln's authority, he raised hundreds of Black Union soldiers on the wild streets of D.C., eager to fight for their freedom. Many would go on to battle in perhaps the most important victory of Black troops in the Civil War. The War Department did not support the fledgling 1st District of Columbia Colored Volunteers (later the 1st U.S.C.T.). W.G. was forced to pay for troop provisions and training out of his own pocket, never to be repaid. His challenges were just beginning.

At the risk of a 5-year prison term, Francesco Da Vinci struggles with his Virginia draft board to be recognized as a sincere conscientious objector to the Vietnam war. While his CO case is on appeal, Da Vinci forms a peace group in San Diego called Nonviolent Action. The peace group becomes a national movement, and its campaign to help end the war reaches the halls of Congress with the help of Senator George McGovern.  For his stand as a CO and activist, Francesco becomes a target for hateful intolerance that spills over to his family and fianc├⌐e. A special feature of Francesco''s memoir is the photography that supplements the text. The captivating images taken by the author document civil rights & peace marches and include portraits of individuals iconic to the 1960s. You might ask, "Why now for a ''60s memoir?"The issues raised in I Refuse to Kill are today''s top issues-social justice, police brutality, government surveillance, persecution of nonviolent activists, and war versus the nonviolent resolution of conflict. The contributions of conscientious objectors and ''60s activists have been largely omitted from our history or flagrantly distorted for political reasons. I Refuse to Kill sets the record straight.
