This is volume III, which covers the war in the South. Although dated, it gives good information on historical sites in the states from Virginia to Georgia, including historical background, maps and charts.

Ernie Pyle was perhaps the most famous of the imbedded correspondents covering US troop movements during WWII. He lost his life in 1945 in the Pacific. This is an excellent primary source, complete with a listing of the men he talked to and about in the back. Someone's grandfather might very well be listed in this book which pays wonderful tribute to The Greatest Generation.

Writen by English author DE Stevenson and first published in 1940, The English Air deals with the experiences of a young man, half German and half English, who comes to Britain in the days leading up to WWII, convinced of the justice of the German cause. Only as he sees the essential goodness and kindness of his English relatives and their friends and realizes just how horribly he has been deceived by Hitler's propaganda machine does he change his mind, joining a German underground movement and risking his life to try to tell his fellow Germans the truth about Hitler's vaunting ambitions.

A textbook for elementary education students, not a children's workbook, but the text includes a number of suggested math-related activities which might be helpful to the homeschool parent.

Ever wondered what the floorplan of Kinsey Millhone's garage apartment looks like? Want to see a photograph of the Santa Teresa Police Department building, or find out why Kinsey likes peanut butter and pickle sandwiches? It's all in there, though it only goes through "M is for Malice" . A good resource for Millhone fans.

This is history, but it is told in a conversational style, almost like a historical novel. The reading level is HS to adult.
