The Last American Frontier
In "The Last American Frontier," Frederic L. Paxson delves into the transformative period of American history from the late 19th century into the early 20th century, a time marked by the closing of the frontier and its profound implications on national identity. Paxson employs a narrative style rich with historical detail, encapsulating the tales of pioneers, settlers, and the indigenous populations whose lives were irrevocably altered during this era. His work synthesizes varied sources and perspectives, positioning the frontier as not merely a geographical boundary but a complex cultural landscape that shaped American values and ideals.

Medieval Fantasy as Performance
In this book, Michael Cramer views the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an organization that studies and recreates the middle ages, as a case study for a growing fascination with medieval fantasy in popular culture.

Early Western Augusta Pioneers
From its establishment in 1745, Augusta County, Virginia served as a haven for Scotch-Irish, German, and, to a lesser extent, English immigrants who failed to find economic opportunity or religious freedom in the colonial settlements along the Middle Atlantic coastline. This little known but important work contains detailed genealogies of the twenty families mentioned in the title of the work, who settled in that region of "old western Augusta" that today encompasses Bath and Highland counties, Virginia. In addition to the family histories, the compiler has provided introductory chapters on the history of German and Scotch-Irish settlement to the region; a table of family members who fought in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil Wars, and a full name index with approximately 10,000 entries.
