Excerpt from The Umberger Tragedy: With a Criminal History of Somerset County, Pa This little hook has been written and published with a purpose to supply what was believed to be a general and increasing demand for a convenient, concise and reliable account of the now famous Umberger homicide in Jenner township, and other high crimes committed within the borders of Somerset county in the year 1889 - a year that must remain long memorable in our county's annals for its unusual record of sanguinary deeds. That this belief was well founded has been already abundantly proved. The numerous subscriptions following the announcement of the book's preparation induced the publisher to enlarge considerably upon the original scope of the work, so that the completed book contains additional matter pertaining to the criminal history of Somerset county that is believed will be of general interest to the people of the county and regions contiguous thereto. It has been the aim of the writer to avoid sensational coloring bf facts which would class the book among the already too numerous mass of objectionable publications and detract immeasurably from its historical value. The book may be disappointing in a double sense. It will probably encounter the criticisms of a mawkish sentimentality on the one hand; and it may fail to satisfy the views of the extremely rancorous who have awaited the administration of the law with manifest impatience. If, however, it shall be instrumental in dispelling the mistaken impression that Somerset county is a favorite field for criminals, in which to ply their vocation, its mission will be amply fulfilled. The success of the enterprise has been largely due to the efforts of John W. Patton, Esq., who has covered the business field in a manner unusually thorough and effective, in advance of publication.

A cross-section of the American experience on D-Day Unique perspective from the regimental level that also integrates strategic and tactical considerations Stories of largely forgotten acts of valor G. H. Bennett collects oral histories from the soldiers of three American regiments and weaves them into an intimate account of the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. Widely scattered during its drop into Normandy, the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (82nd Airborne Division) stopped the advance of an SS division. The untested 116th Infantry Regiment (29th Infantry Division) landed on bloody Omaha Beach, where it suffered more casualties than any other regiment that day. Meanwhile, the 22nd Infantry Regiment (4th Infantry Division) easily waded ashore on Utah Beach but faced savage fighting as it moved inland.

This fascinating reassessment of America's most popular and famous poet reveals a more complex and enigmatic man than many readers might expect. Jay Parini spent over twenty years interviewing friends of Robert Frost and working in the poet's archives at Dartmouth, Amherst, and elsewhere to produce this definitive and insightful biography of both the public and private man. While he depicts the various stages of Frost's colorful life, Parini also sensitively explores the poet's psyche, showing how he dealt with adversity, family tragedy, and depression. By taking the reader into the poetry itself, which he reads closely and brilliantly, Parini offers an insightful road map to Frost's remarkable world.
