Based on the true story of the Donelson Party: The river journey was supposed to take four weeks. Instead, more than four months after they left, a ragtag group of settlers limped into Fort Nashborough with a chilling tale. Their river journey to the west had led them through Chickamauga Indian Territory at the height of the Chickamauga Indian War. They faced constant attacks, near starvation, frostbite, disease and deadly whirlpools. Some were captured... some were killed... and some lived to tell the tale... 2010 Winner, Best Drama Award

The 1970s heralded the universal arrival of the dedicated roll-on roll-off freight ferry, or the ro-ro as it became more economically known. During the early years of the ro-ro several owners continued to carry a limited number of passengers in the same style and comfort as expected aboard their former conventional 'short-sea' freighters. 'By Ro-Ro to the Baltic' takes the reader aboard a bygone class-leading vessel for a 'fly on the wall' look at its operation on an intriguing near three-thousand mile voyage of several decades past.

A recent study at Harvard University concluded that the proverbial midlife crisis is largely a myth. The proponents of the study acknowledged, however, that the time of midlife is a period rich with possibility for growth. In Crossing The Soul's River, William Roberts not only suggests but outlines a rite of passage for men who find themselves at this threshold of both danger and opportunity.More than a few calls have been issued for a male rite of passage. For example, James Hollis has noted, As Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell, and other observers ... have suggested, our culture has lost the mythic road map which helps locate a person in a larger context. Intertwining theology, psychology, and his own harrowing journey through midlife, Roberts addresses the importance of traversing the soul's river in search of personal growth and the need for guidance through this passage. He then constructs a series of soul tasks to facilitate the rite of passage toward reconciliation with the self.

The Columbia River is the dominant river system of the Northwest United States. It is a river of many uses--hydropower, fisheries, and irrigation--and was known by many names--Columbia's River, the Big River, and even River in the Chickadee Territory. It is the fourth-largest river by volume in North America, draining parts of seven states and the province of British Columbia. Because of its unique location close to the ocean, its tall mountain ranges, its steep drop from headwaters to the ocean, its deep and solid canyon, and its huge volume of clear, cold water, the Columbia River evolved as one of the great salmon and hydropower rivers of the world. And therein lies the chief paradox of the Columbia--the conflict of its natural history with its human history. Today, the river is an "organic machine," in the words of historian Richard White, part nature, part machine. This book briefly explores the natural and human histories of the river through photographs from historical archives, government agencies, and personal collections.
