What Matters Most : A Story of Human Potential

Darron Terry Smith and Susan Evans McCloud

Ancestral roots in the Irish potato famine and a keen interest in California history led Author Harry Casey to create the story of two brothers who escape the starvation and British domination of Ireland for America in 1847. Jeremiah Cleary, responsible, hard-working, too often his brother's keeper, and Matthew Cleary, happy-go-lucky, womanizer, drinker and dreamer, suffer the prejudice and rough docks of Boston before heading west. Jeremiah's dream is to own his own land, but Matthew's ambition is to get rich quick in the California gold fields. This is also the story of Jeremiah's young Irish bride, who copes with a new life in a wild, lonesome valley far from the green fields of County Cork, and of her rebel sister who defies the British oppressors in Ireland, but finds her strength of character sorely tested in California. This novel covers fifty years and weaves a tale of two great loves, of droughts and floods, a Civil War battle, Irish land evictions, renegade banditos, squatters and steely-eyed bankers threatening Jeremiah's ranch. Casey, a horseman and cattleman as well as a journalist, writes realistically about this part of the early west. Readers sit with the driver in the seat of a freight wagon, smell the dust of a cattle drive, hear the calves bawling at the brandings, dance at the fiestas, and feel the excitement of a raw, new land. However, this is not a western in the traditional sense, but rather a family saga set in the early west. It was meticulously researched in Ireland as well as California, its historical setting comes alive, and the characters make their way into the hearts of the readers.

Land of the Eagle

Casey, Harry

This sequel to Land of the Eagle continues the saga of the dynamic Cleary family as it is joined by the pioneer newspaper family of a small California town. Millie Godfrey, daughter of the struggling country editor, and Spud Cleary, son the popular, wealthy rancher, fall in love and set in motion events that combine for an exciting, robust combination of pioneer journalism and ranch life. This is a novel that mixes the smell of printer's ink with the dust of a cattle drive. It covers forty years, taking members of the two families from the gold fields of the Yukon to the streets of San Francisco during the 1906 earthquake, from a battlefield in France to an influenza hospital of 1919, from the Irish civil war to the civic struggles of a pioneer town. Casey writes with the authenticity of a newspaper editor for 43 years and a horseman and cattleman whose own roots reach deeply into the town, the hills and valleys in which this story is set. Woven through the pages is the love story of Millie and Spud, suddenly challenged by powerful forces. As the feisty editor struggles to save his weekly newspaper and his editorial integrity, and as the fight for Irish freedom reaches all the way into a small California valley, the Cleary family is beset by a tragedy that serves as a catalyst to bring this novel to an unforgettable climax.

Pen and Plow

Centennial Edition is the third novel in this historical saga rooted in the Salinas Valley of California. The first, Land of the Eagle, traces Jeremiah. Cleary from Ireland's potato famine to a new life in the American west. The second, Pen and Plow, introduces the pioneer newspaper family which plays a vital role in the development of the area. This final book of the trilogy adds a rich mixture of families and traditions - descendants of the early Californians, Basque sheepherders, hardy Swiss dairymen, refugees from the Dust Bowl and Mexican field workers. Their lives are recorded on the pages of The King City Settler as they cope with the Great Depression, World War II and the horrors of Vietnam. Then huge demographic changes send the Salinas Valley reeling into racial tension, labor turmoil and social reform. The conclusion is one of hope, as Editor and Publisher, Tim Cleary writes it, Someday we will all be one people - Americans!

Frances Burney was born on June 13th, 1752 in Lynn Regis (now King's Lynn). By the age of 8 Frances had still not learned the alphabet and couldn't read. She now began a period of self-education, which included devouring the family library and to begin her own 'scribblings', these journal writings would document her life and cover the next 72 years. Her journal writing was accepted but writing novels was frowned upon by her family and friends. Feeling that she had been improper, she burnt her first manuscript, The History of Caroline Evelyn, which she had written in secret. It was only in 1778 with the anonymous publication of Evelina that her talents were available to the wider world. She was now a published and admired author. Despite this success and that of her second novel, Cecilia, in 1785, Frances travelled to the court of King George III and Queen Charlotte and was offered the post of "Keeper of the Robes." Frances hesitated. She had no wish to be separated from her family, nor to anything that would restrict her time in writing. But, unmarried at 34, she felt obliged to accept and thought that improved social status and income might allow her greater freedom to write. The years at Court were fruitful but took a toll on her health, writing and relationships and in 1790 she prevailed upon her father to request her release from service. He was successful. The ideals of the French Revolution had brought support from many English literates for the ideals of equality and social justice. Frances quickly became attached to General Alexandre D'Arblay, an artillery officer who had fled to England. In spite of the objections of her father they were married on July 28th, 1793. On December 18th, 1794, Frances gave birth to their only child, a son, Alexander. Frances's third novel, Camilla, in 1796 earned her 2000 and was enough for them to build a house in Westhumble; Camilla Cottage. In 1801 D'Arblay was offered service with the government of Napoleon in France, and in 1802 Frances and her son followed him to Paris, where they expected to remain for a year. The outbreak of the war between France and England meant their stay extended for ten years. In August 1810 Frances developed breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy performed by "7 men in black." Frances was later able to write about the operation in detail, being conscious through most of it, anesthetics not yet being in use. With the death of D'Arblay, in 1818, of cancer, Frances moved to London to be near her son. Tragically he died in 1837. Frances, in her last years, was by now retired but entertained many visits from younger members of the Burney family, who gathered to listen to her fascinating accounts and her talents for imitating the people she described. Frances Burney died on January 6th, 1840.
