    A surprising journey through the history and growth of this large city neighboring New Orleans. While New Orleans is recognized the world over for the French Quarter and Mardi Gras, Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, is not as well known. But Metairie has a rich history all its own. What was described two centuries ago as “a tongue of land to lend pasturage” has become the second largest unincorporated city in the nation.  The explorer La Salle noticed the river bend that is now Metairie when he descended and ascended the Mississippi River in the spring of 1682. Almost simultaneously with the founding of New Orleans in 1718, John Law’s Company of the West began granting land to European investors and to a handful of Canadians struggling to survive along the Gulf Coast. The settlers helped feed the city, provided it with critical building materials, and enhanced its value as a port.  As with many colonial frontiers throughout the history of the world, missionaries stood in the vanguard of Metairie’s evolution. French and Spanish friars, then European priests, and finally native clergy provided leadership and stability as a progressive community began to emerge from the marsh and swamp. This book tells the story of this oft-overlooked Louisiana city.

    The riveting true story of decadence, deception, and murder among British aristocrats in colonial KenyaIn 1941, with London burning in the Blitz, a group of hedonistic English nobles partied shamelessly in Kenya. Far removed from falling bombs, the wealthy elites of “Happy Valley” indulged in morphine, alcohol, and unrestricted sex, often with their friends’ spouses. But the party turned sinister in the early hours of a January morning for Josslyn Hay, Lord Erroll, who had been enjoying the favors of the beautiful young wife of a middle-aged neighbor. Hay was found dead, a bullet in his brain. The murder shocked the close-knit community of wealthy expatriates in Nairobi and shined a harsh light on their louche lifestyle.Three decades later, author James Fox researched the slaying of Lord Erroll, an unsolved crime still sheathed in a thick cloud of rumor and innuendo. What he discovered was both unsettling and luridly compelling. White Mischief is a spellbinding true-crime classic, a tale of privileged excess and the wages of sin, and an account of one writer’s determined effort to crack a cold and craven killing.

    Explore the Captivating History of the French Revolution
    Few historical events are as greatly revered and entirely misunderstood as the French Revolution that began in 1789. The memory of this complicated and lengthy political, violent uprising has been generally painted in broad—and oversimplified—strokes.
    
    While the French Revolution was certainly centered around two lavish monarchs and an enlightened common class, there was so much more going on behind the scenes. Even after the abolition of the French monarchy, France struggled to find a balance between public self-governance and European stability. A fragile government, merely a shell of its former self following the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, was no match for the military and political prowess of Napoleon I.
    
    In The French Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Ten-Year Revolution in France and the Impact Made by Napoleon Bonaparte, you will discover topics such as:
    
    -  A Brief History of the French Monarchy 
    -  Philosophies of the Times 
    -  France in the 18th Century 
    -  Marie Antoinette, Madame Deficit 
    -  Taxes, Famine, and the Enlightenment 
    -  Sieyes' "What is the Third Estate?" 
    -  The National Assembly 
    -  Death of the Dauphin 
    -  Bastille Day 
    -  The First Mayor of Paris 
    -  Declaration of the Rights of Man…and The Women's March 
    -  France at War 
    -  The Flight to Varennes 
    -  Storming the Tuileries 
    -  The Monarchy is Outlawed
