Mrs. Captain Jack contributed to the myth of the West by crowning herself as the 'Mining Queen of the Rockies' as she entertained tourists at her roadhouse near Colorado Springs. Author Jane Bardal offers a captivating biography of a pioneering woman who fashioned a legacy through true tenacity and maybe even a few tall tales.

Belle dutifully took the book to Boston - and broke all the rules in a most delightful fashion." "In this manner Belle Stewart of New York became Mrs. Jack Gardner of Boston and began a career that kept nineteenth-century Boston agog and made her a legend even in her lifetime. A Midwestern lady came East "to see Mrs. Jack Gardner and the Atlantic Ocean" - and was disappointed in neither. It was said that Mrs. Jack climbed out of a convenient window to elope with Jack, that she received her guests perched on the branches of a ceiling-high potted mimosa tree, that she kept lions in her Venetian palace basement." "Louise Hall Tharp lifts the veil from the legend of Mrs. Jack and reveals the face of a sensitive, complex woman who was not only a daring fashion-setter, a great American show-off and a charmer, but a woman of genuine aesthetic sensibility in an era when "culture" was a social duty; a coquette easily flirted with, easily hurt; a woman warm and maternal but eventually to be childless." "Though the society pages filled their columns with sly innuendo and misinformation about Mrs. Jack, and spitefully inclined Boston hostesses spurned her, her husband always stood solemnly beside her, she was always surrounded by an entourage of young proteges, and she enjoyed friendships with the leading men of her day - with Henry Adams and Henry James, John Singer Sargent and Whistler, Henry Lee Higginson and Charles Eliot Norton, F. Marion Crawford and the young Bernard Berenson."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Dead End in Norvelt is the winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal for the year's best contribution to children's literature and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction! Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, Dead End in Norvelt is a novel about an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, whose plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is "grounded for life" by his feuding parents, and whose nose spews bad blood at every little shock he gets. But plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack's way once his mom loans him out to help a fiesty old neighbor with a most unusual chore—typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his utopian town. As one obituary leads to another, Jack is launced on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hells Angels . . . and possibly murder. Endlessly surprising, this sly, sharp-edged narrative is the author at his very best, making readers laugh out loud at the most unexpected things in a dead-funny depiction of growing up in a slightly off-kilter place where the past is present, the present is confusing, and the future is completely up in the air.
