$16.95
Quantity in Basket: none
| This is the story of a secret army that endeavored to
rescue slaves prior to the Civil War. The Army of Right
or the A. O. R. was a group that operated with military
like precision to liberate as many slaves as possible.
Using advanced weapons and tactics to accomplish their
missions, the daring men placed their lives on the line
in pursuit of liberty for all Americans.
Meet John Adkins and his Uncle George Monroe – a
traveling minister, and a Colonel in the war of 1812. He
invites John to accompany him on a revival campaign in
the South. John does not know the revivals are a cover
for his Uncle’s A. O. R. activities. When young John
(age 16) observes a secret code being passed between his
Uncle and three mysterious men, he begs his Uncle to let
him join. Reluctantly his Uncle agrees and the two
embark on some spine tingling adventures, where they
rescue dozens of oppressed slaves. John learns that the
runaways are no different than him, as he sets out to
teach them to read. He finds that he has close feelings
for the former slaves, and does not want to part ways.
Thus a great dilemma develops; also a great experiment.
John sees no color or distinction between himself and
the runaways he has rescued. Can he teach them that they
have value and worth just like any other human being?

A Chance for Glory By: Elizabeth Haswell Price:
$31.95
Quantity in Basket: none
| From the author of Green Eyes
It is 1939. Three young men from the same small Canadian
town, eager to be part of the history of their time, go
off to war. Johnny Henderson, to escape his father’s
wrath, sails to England, determined to become a pilot in
the R.A.F.. Gordon Cooper, a young lawyer with a
promising career, joins the Royal Regiment of Toronto
and heads overseas, where, after being involved in
espionage for the British, he takes part in the Dieppe
Raid. Keith Reid’s destiny takes him to Hong Kong, to a
fierce but hopeless battle against the Japanese,
followed by a lengthy term as a Prisoner of War.
This is a flesh and blood story of deep emotions, of
pain and joy, of love between men and women, between
parents and their children. Colleen Mitchell is a nurse,
who travels overseas to work in Canadian field
hospitals. Frances Easton, an American feminist, finds
herself trapped in conservative values she has
previously scorned. Gillian Crosswell represents the
thousands of English women with whom Canadian and
American men formed passionate alliances. Audrey Gage
joins the Red Cross Women’s Corp in order to pursue her
unfaithful husband and becomes acquainted with an
entirely different person within herself.
This book has been ten years in the making. It is based
on years of research and personal interviews with
veterans in every branch of military service, and with
former P.O.W.s. Research into previously unopened files
of the Tokyo War Crime Trials, of correspondence between
Mountbatten and Hughes-Hallett, of numerous private
diaries and letters home form its basis.
The truth that is foremost in A Chance for Glory, is
what hovers in the hearts and brains of those who go off
to war, - the intensity of love they have known, the
desire to die if they must, as soldiers before them have
died, bravely and honourably. It is a story which will
appeal to every generation- to those in their wild and
fiery youth, and to parents, who are helpless to do
anything but be spectators of a tragedy they are able to
predict.
