Having witnessed a number of unlawful deeds for which, either because of political constraints or shear ineptitude, proper justice is denied, "The Colonel" engages in his own methods of retribution. Over time and with a much wider sympathy with his motives than he might have presupposed, he is instrumental in establishing a covert organization that increasingly permeates society at large. That is, until a certain turn of events leads to his own arrest and imprisonment. The events that prompt this highly decorated and very courageous military officer to take the law into his own hands provide a

1895. Annie Fellows Johnston was a celebrated author of children’s and juvenile fiction. She is best known for the Little Colonel series, a semi- biographical opus of 13 novels dealing with the aristocracy of old Kentucky, particularly the story of a young girl, who came to be known as the little Colonel because of her bully mannerisms at the age of 5 which seemed to echo the military traits of her grandfather, a former confederate colonel. Johnston planned to complete the series several times, once after The Little Colonel’s House Party, again after The Little Colonel’s Knig

1930. Volume 2 of 2. The history of the Medici is a deeply interesting story; while, besides its intrinsic interest, it helps us to acquire much knowledge about the rebirth of Learning and Art, about the history of Europe in perhaps its most important period, about the birth of Science,and about the great collections of Art possessed by Florence. For without referring largely to all these subjects no true picture of the Medici can be given. My aim has been to write of them as a family-their rise, their course upon the mountain tops of power, and their decline and end-and to keep the parts alwa
