Jonathan Carver's Travels through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767, and 1768 became a bestseller in London in the 1780s, and arguments over its author's accuracy and honesty have raged ever since. This book published for the first time the well-known explorer's original account of his expedition.Editor John Parker compares and interweaves the four manuscript versions of Carver's journals discovered in the twentieth century in the British Museum to form the text of this book. Also included are the hitherto unpublished journal of veteran fur trader James Stanley Goddard, who accompanied Carver; related correspondence; a Dakota dictionary; commissions and other records; and a bibliography of major editions of the Travels.In this volume John Parker explains the alleged plagiarism, examines Carver's early life, and offers new information on the land swindle in the Midwest known as the "Carver grant."Editor John Parker was curator of the James Ford Bell Library at the University of Minnesota, a collection specializing in early travel and exploration.
RUBBERS and YANKS 3 DETROIT 0 TOP OF THE SEVENTH: "...they were undeniably funny... RUBBERS has a young woman member of the Assembly desperately trying to get a bill through that would require pharmacists to place contraceptives on public display. The response this receives from her fellow members is immediate, explosive and often very amusing. Mr Reynolds offers some whimsical caricatures of Assemblymen... In the second play, Mr Reynolds does keep rather closer to the real world, with an aging, fading baseball pitcher who is on his way out and frantically knows it. With his ethnic jokes and crass materialism there is nothing very attractive about Emil (Duke) Bronkowski paranoidly facing high noon on the mound. And yet seeing him assailed by the opposing team--all markedly younger and mocking men--his own catcher (he has the only catcher in the major leagues who wants his pitcher to call him "Mister ") and his coach...one has to feel some basic sympathy." Clive Barnes, The New York TimesFIGHTING INTERNATIONAL FAT: "Jonathan Reynolds is a playwright with what may be a quixotic goal. He proposes to appeal to intelligent theatergoers the old-fashioned way, by providing an experience that expands the audience's vision instead of reaffirming what it already knows.... In FIGHTING INTERNATIONAL FAT, two women--leading diet promoters--are locked in a titanic struggle for the opportunity to proselytize their respective positions on a leading television talk show, presided over by the man who happens to be the sex object of every red-blooded American woman'. Both women will stop at nothing to win over the talk show host, who is under pressure to provide his voracious viewers with revelations five days a week." Gaby Rogers, The New York TimesSTONEWALL JACKSON'S HOUSE: "The gloves come off early in STONEWALL JACKSON'S HOUSE, Jonathan Reynolds' caustic comic tirade against political orthodoxy. A woebegone black guide leading a group through the haphazardly restored home of the Confederate general suddenly stops the tour to ask a well-to-do white couple from Ohio if she can come home with them, as their slave. It's a provocative moment: where is this playwright, who so deliciously savaged film making fifteen years ago in GENIUSES, headed with this tasteless conceit? Mercifully, not to a scene depicting modern slavery. The revolving panels of the play's simple set are eventually pushed aside to reveal the rehearsal room of a small theater company whose self-righteous administrators, interviewing playwrights for the new season, denounce the play the audience has just sampled. With that, Mr Reynolds climbs on his soapbox for an ambling, funny, cranky and highly entertaining diatribe against all the agenda-laden forces and high-minded programs (especially of the liberal stripe) that he believes have conspired to wring common sense out of American political and cultural life. Affirmative action, political correctness, nontraditional casting, the welfare state, black studies, ethnocentrism, multiculturalism: Mr Reynolds pushes so many buttons he could have staged the play in an elevator.... You don't have to agree with Mr Reynolds' inexhaustible supply of opinions to get a kick out of this.... The plot of STONEWALL JACKSON'S HOUSE takes several outrageous turns, culminating in a hilariously radical restaging of the tour-guide scene along lines more politically palatable to the theater company's old guard.... But maybe a little more unvarnished spleen-venting is just what the theater needs." Peter Marks, The New York Times

Many don't know of the Knights Templar. Others say they were dissolved and faded into the sunset in the Fourteenth Century. They did not. Jonathan Knight, a former CIA agent is a member of the Knights Templar. Tasked with stopping the senseless slaughter of millions and the implementation of Sharia Law into Western nations, Jonathan and his team of intelligence agents are going to need divine intervention and nerves of steel to carry out their mission. Julie is a popular social media blogger whom Jonathan Knight has contacted to share important information to her millions of followers--information that will expose a plot involving world leaders. There's one problem--Julie has been kidnapped.
The Dan the Fish Series of children's books is a collaborative effort of many people who dealt with learning and physical issues in school. The books are divided into three parts. The first is a story about an animal that has a problem similar to those that children with disabilities face every day. The second part is a reflection from a child's perspective. The third part is a brief introduction of the adult who helped inspire the story. The purpose of the books is to inspire all children to be who they are. Presented in a creative manner, the Dan the Fish Series hopes to show kids that there are others like them, who felt like they do, and that they too can overcome their challenges and difficulties. These books can also be used as discussion starters in the classroom, for those in teaching programs and anyone working with people with disabilities. Our hope is that this series will bring understanding, encourage compassion, and help to end bullying of all children.
Have you ever been in the toilet and so desperate to have something to read that you acquainted yourself with the ingredients of shampoo or tooth paste? The bathroom rule is a simple one, and will be understood immediately by everyone who likes to take with them something to read while they conduct their toilet: the best articles and stories are the ones one can finish in the time it takes to eliminate one's stool. Some of you are all business: a classic haiku is too long for you. Some of you will stay until you finish "war and peace". For most of us, though, a nice, relaxing movement of ten to twelve minutes seems about right. (I should admit, in the spirit of candour, that I occasionally disappear into the loo with the nytimes Sunday crossword, and can get rather caught up in the "war and peace" of things.) I may be a bit of a unicorn for the theatre community: I enjoy writing plays, but only as an exercise in dialogue; I enjoy acting immensely, but loathe sitting in the audience; I enjoy a good character arc, but eschew melodrama in my real life; I enjoy directing, but dislike giving orders. It's a conundrum. If you meet a theatre person, the very first thing they'll inevitably do is credential themselves with all their roles and stages, plays & playwrights, and, very occasionally, their awards. I won't presume to do that here-it's tedious. What I will due, however, is invite you to use what follows: ten short plays of no particular significance. All of these are under twelve minutes, meaning you can read one in the time it takes to use the loo. All of them have been read somewhere; some of them have been performed, and a few of them staged. Maybe you'll find something that suits you. Can't get off book? Try frank n. steinmonster in the commencement speaker. Wanna spoof your abrasive director? Try the audition. Try anything you like, and if you feel so inclined, let me know how it went: I love post mortems.

Jonathan Sturges: Merchant of Old New York is a fascinating story of a pioneering American merchant, art patron, banker, railroad entrepreneur, philanthropist and civic activist, who took part in many of the transformational political and business events of the mid-nineteenth century.Striking out from his home in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1822, Sturges obtained a clerk position in a merchant firm in New York City and rose to become the lead partner of the largest coffee and tea trading house in New York. For five decades he rode the American wave of growth and ingenuity from the opening of the Erie Canal, through the Civil War, to the dawning of the Gilded Age--when robber barons such as his son-in-law, J.P. Morgan, were taking main stage. His intimate circle of friends and associates were a who's who of national politicians, generals, business and the arts. This meticulously researched book is a quintessential American success story. Open the book and you'll open the door into the extraordinary life and times of Jonathan Sturges.
