Supplementing its 'standard' genealogical data with narrative text, this book documents the family and descendants of Richard Shute, an English mariner who arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime prior to 1659 and began a New World family line full of ambition, daring, and initiative. The book focuses on Richard and his progeny, but also investigates the descendants of Richard's brother, William, himself a mariner of Boston. It covers twelve generations of Richard's line (to the time of original publication in 1995) and five generations of William's (to the early 19th century). Basic facts such as birth dates, death dates, and marriage dates, and names of associated people and places are included, as well as tidbits and anecdotes gleaned from wills, diaries, and public records. Over 1,000 descendants of Richard and William are supplied; families mentioned include Belcher, Boardman, Buckley, Coffin, Cushing, Dudley, Emerson, French, Greenland, Grover, Hitchings, Jewett, Knower, Mountfort, Nichols, Pearson, Pillsbury, Rainsford, Rust, Sargeant, Soley, Sprague, Waite, Watts, and Wiggins. Chapters include: Descendants of Richard and Elizabeth Shute, Index to Descendants of Richard Shute, Descendants of William and Hopestill Shute, and Index to Descendants of William Shute. Appendices include: The Will of Richard Shute, Sr. (1631-1703); The Will of Richard Shute, Jr. (1666-c1742/43); The Will of Michael Shute (1707-1784); and, The Will of Benjamin Shute (1759-1847). A bibliography adds to the value of this work.

This book closely examines the pedagogical possibilities of integrating the arts into history curriculum at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Students encounter expressions of history every day in the form of fiction, paintings, and commemorative art, as well as other art forms. Research demonstrates it is often these more informal encounters with history that define students’ knowledge and understandings rather than the official accounts present in school curricula. This volume will provide educators with tools to bring together these parallel tracks of history education to help enrich students’ understandings and as a mechanism for students to present their own emerging historical perspectives.

A compelling study of the military career of five-star general Omar Bradley details his rise to command of the U.S. 12th Army Group in the European theater of World War II, gifts as as a tactician, service as a mentor for younger officers, transformation of the VA into a model government agency, and key legacy for modern military service. 50,000 first printing.
George S. Patton embodied contradiction: a cavalryman steeped in romantic military tradition, he nevertheless pulled a reluctant American military into the most advanced realms of highly mobile armored warfare. An autocratic snob, Patton created unparalleled rapport and loyalty with the lowliest private in his command; an outspoken racist, he led the only racially integrated U.S. military unit in World War II; an exuberantly profane man, he prayed daily and believed God had destined him for military greatness; a profoundly insecure individual, he made his Third Army the most self-confident and consistently victorious fighting force in the European theater. From Patton's boyhood battling dyslexia and becoming an avid reader, to his leadership strategies that modernized the U.S. army, Alan Axelrod delivers a fascinating account of Patton's life and legacy.
