The author, Ginny, keeps your attention by ending every chapter with a peaked desire to get on to reading the next one. Learning more about the reality of civilization in American in the nineteenth century and reading about the courage and hope that the individual characters in the book had to have to move forward is encouragement for us today to never stop working for change and equality. Nothing is new under the sun as even today in the 21st century there is still so much that calls for change. There is a need to value life and to acknowledge that all men and women are created equal in God and in His image. This book is an encouragement to continue the fight for equality, respect for each other and a need to acknowledge that irregardless of gender or color every individual was created in the image of God and are called to reflect that as we live in our respective communities. Keep up the great work Ginny, your work and your writing is appreciated very much. I look forward to "Shifted by the Winds". Review: This has to be the best book in the Bregdan series. I learned so much about what happened in this country in 1866. I appreciate the time and effort the author spent in studying the overall political situation in the southern states and President Johnson's refusal to intervene. The riots initiated by the police against the blacks in Memphis and New Orleans were horrifying. Yet I never felt like I was reading a history book due to the personal involvement of all the dear people that I have come to love throughout this series of books. Can't wait for the next one, Ginny Dye.

Horace G. Danner’s A Thesaurus of English Word Roots is a compendium of the most-used word roots of the English language. As Timothy B. Noone notes in his foreword: “Dr. Danner’s book allows you not only to build up your passive English vocabulary, resulting in word recognition knowledge, but also gives you the rudiments for developing your active English vocabulary, making it possible to infer the meaning of words with which you are not yet acquainted. Your knowledge can now expand and will do so exponentially as your awareness of the roots in English words and your corresponding ability to decode unfamiliar words grows apace. This is the beginning of a fine mental linguistic library: so enjoy!” In A Thesaurus of English Word Roots, all word roots are listed alphabetically, along with the Greek or Latin words from which they derive, together with the roots’ original meanings. If the current meaning of an individual root differs from the original meaning, that is listed in a separate column. In the examples column, the words which contain the root are then listed, starting with their prefixes, for example, dysacousia, hyperacousia. These root-starting terms then are followed by terms where the root falls behind the word, e.g., acouesthesia and acoumeter. These words are followed by words where the root falls in the middle or the end, as in such terms as bradyacusia and odynacusis.. In this manner, A Thesaurus of English Word Roots places the word in as many word families as there are elements in the word. This work will interest linguists and philologists and anyone interested in the etymological aspects of English language.
