THE MULBERRY ROAD
This book could be described by the old standby, “a sweeping epic.” It could also be described as America’s 400-year effort to create the world’s finest material. From the introduction of European sericulture to Mexico by Cortés in 1523, to the insistence of King James I that his colonists produce silk despite their struggles to merely survive, we follow the Mulberry Road through the original colonies, to California, Kansas, and back again to the Northeast, where undreamed-of success was finally achieved in the industrial age employing thousands of people…and then faded away.
THE BOOK OF WEDGES
Inspired by one man’s genius approach to settling an argument by citing a fictitious authority, this book weaves a combination of stories of a picturesque beachfront community and one of the most common of man-made objects…the wedge. Told through the use of fifty original illustrations.
