Ever reliable and responsible, Otis Halstead is a father, a husband (one half of a “well-dressed couple of substance”), and the CEO of Kansas Central Fire and Casualty. He has never done anything out of the ordinary. Until now. The change in Otis starts with the acquisition of an antique toy fire truck, the exact model he had pined for at age ten but never received. Next comes a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun. But Otis’s real coup is the purchase of his one true childhood passion: a red 1952 Cushman Pacemaker motor scooter. For his baffled wife, Sally, this is the final straw. She insists that h

In Australia’s folk memory, one event will forever stand as the great example of courage and resistance to authority: the Eureka Stockade. Here is the only full-length eyewitness account of the Stockade, published a year after the uprising, written by an Italian revolutionary who wrote the book to ’set the record straight’. This edition is introduced by Tom Keneally - writer, republican and upholder of human rights. To him, the events were ’a practical assertion of fair-goism which, at the cost of some anguish and death, produced good results’ for the Australian p

Early in the morning of 3 December 1854, colonial troopers attacked a group of civilian gold diggers who had thrown up a stockade in defiance and defense. In the years that followed, the truth of what occurred that morning has been obscured by partisans on both sides. John Molony’s Eureka vividly recreates the story of Eureka and unravels the myths that have come to surround it. Eureka was first published in 1984 by Viking. A Penguin paperback edition appeared in 1989, but the book has been out of print for several years. The story of Australia’s first and only armed rebellion for

For hundreds of years, Osage and Cherokee Indians knew of the healing waters that sprang from the rocks in the dark reaches of the Ozark Mountains. Around 1828, pioneers from Tennessee pushed west and began to settle in the area that would eventually be named Eureka Springs. Captured here in almost 200 vintage images are the growth and development of this tiny town and the story of a closely held secret that cured the ill. Dr. Alvah Jackson discovered the healing power of the spring’s water when his application of the waters surging from the ground cured his son’s chronic eye probl
