"Funny and fearful true stories of witches, innocent victims and their accusers in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Curses that seemingly worked their magic and cures by healers that begot them the gallows. Emphasis is on Salem Village in 1692, where 20 accused of witchcraft were executed."

New England's Marvelous Monsters

"The Doryman rowed hundreds of miles in a blizzard until his hands froze off; a ship smashes against the rocky coast of Maine and the crew begins eating the cook; a captain ships a rock-hard cargo to the tropics where it begins to disappear and no one will touch it because it burns their skin - what is it? These and many more strange sea stories of fact, including Flotsam and Jetsam and an ongoing curse on submarines."

New England's Strange Sea Sagas

Robert Ellis Cahill

Lost and found ships along the coast.

Finding New England's Shipwrecks and Treasures

Engineering & Transportation

Transportation

"The first U.F.O. was seen at Boston in 1639, and Gloucester was attacked by visitors from outer space in 1692 -- both incidents are well documented -- and in the next century, the Colonials were plagued by the Flying Black Giant. Flying objects in the form of saucers, steam-irons and cigars were prominent in the 1800s and early 1900s. And of course, each New England state has had its fair share of recent sightings - many by law enforcement personnel. All are described mostly in first-person interviews - and the author spends a night with the famed Betty Hill at a secret U.F.O. airfield in New Hampshire."

"Our Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers could be brutal, and this book presents their many methods of torture and unusual laws, which all had to abide by. Chapters include: ""Drunk and Disorderly,"" ""Never On Sunday,"" and their wars with witches and Quakers. A description of dungeon tortures will send chills up your spine."

Horrors of Salem's Witch Dungeon: And Other New England Crimes and Punishment (Collectible Classics Series : No 9)

How did America with no Navy and no weapons defeat the greatest naval power in the world? This book tells you how, and also tells who the real heroes were in the Revolutionary War. George Washington started his own navy with Marblehead fishermen -- most of whom George didn't like at all -- and the first ship of the navy turned out to be a dud - the crew mutinied, the commander was fired, and the ship ended up on a sandbar.

Naughty Navy (New England's Collectible Classics)

"An award-winning book about the travels and battles of the Vikings in North America, taken from ancient Norwegian writings. Evidence is presented on how and why the Vikings' ""Vinland"" was actually Cape Cod, and could not have been anywhere else. Indian histories also reveal Viking landings here, as do recently discovered artifacts. This book traces Vikings and Indians in battle up through King Philip's War."

New England's Viking and Indian Wars (New England's Collectible Classics)

"George Twelvetrees Hewes wasn't a midget, but he was close. After his funny exploits during the American Revolution, he wrote a journal, and the author uses this journal to weave his tantalizing true story of those great and little known characters who won our independence from England. People like Revere, John Adams and Hancock were not considered heroes by their co-patriots, whereas the eccentric Otis and the crafty Warren were the real leaders, their names are almost forgotten now. A real insight into the courage, humor and day-to-day lives of our revolutionaries."
