“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.”

• Edward McCrady, Jr. (1833-1903) graduated College of Charleston, 1853 • prominent lawyer, state representative, historian & prolific author • his father, Edward McCrady Sr. (1802-1892) was Yale alum, opposed States Rights in the Nullification Crisis of 1832 • by 1850, no longer a unionist, McCrady Sr. resigned his District Attorney post & signed the Ordinance of Secession, 1861
• McCrady Jr. entered Confederate service as captain of Irish Volunteers • rose to rank of lieutenant colonel • wounded at Second Manassas in VA & again at Fredericksburg
“It was the consummation of the grand debate between Massachusetts and South Carolina. Webster and Calhoun had exhausted the argument in the Senate chamber, and now the soldiers of the two states were fighting it out eye to eye, hand to hand, man to man. If the debates in the Senate chamber were able and eloquent, the struggle on that knoll at Manassas was brave and glorious.” – Major Edward McCrady, 1st South Carolina (CSA)
• reflecting on causes of the Civil War in a speech at 1882 reunion of his regiment, McCrady contended that "it was not for slavery for which we fought, but... for the sovereignty of our State and for the supremacy of our race."
• as a conservative member of SC General Assembly, McCrady proposed legislation to impose a poll tax & literacy test (to prove ability to read candidates' names) on both black & white citizens' right to vote • to opponents who argued that this would disenfranchise thousands of white voters, he replied, "We care not if it does... To them, too, we say the schools are open."

Day of the Dragon - (WarCraft #1)
by Richard A. Knaak (Goodreads Author)
In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind. Mysterious Elves and hardy Dwarves walked among tribes of man in relative peace and harmony -- until the arrival of the demonic army known as Burning Legion shattered the world's tranquility forever. Now Orcs, Dragons, Goblins, and Trolls all vie for supremacy over the scattered, warring kingdoms -- part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of WarCraft.
A terrifying upheaval among the highest ranks of the world's Wizards sends the maverick Mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the Orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan. What Rhonin uncovers is a vast, far-reaching conspiracy, darker than anything he ever imagined -- a threat that will force him into a dangerous alliance with ancient creatures of air and re if the world of Azeroth is to see another dawn.

Miranda wanted to dress as Ook from The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future for World Book Day, but her school didn't do World Book Day dressing up this year. For Red Nose Day they asked for "superheroes, or your mum/dad in the 70s/80s" so she figured it would fit. I'm not sure whether to hope they know she's a superhero or to hope they think I spent my childhood in fake leopard skin velour.
I was planning on safety-pinning this together in the 5 minutes before we left the house, then the safety-pin tin vanished and I had to do super fast sewing. A bit of a panic but it worked out!

The west front of the east wing, containing the chapel, erected in 1628-32 at the instigation of Matthew Wren, Master of Peterhouse from 1625-34. The architecture reflects the High Anglican ideals of Charles I - which is interesting, because it was during this time that the college accommodated and nurtured several scholars who would later become eminent Puritans, among them Colonel John Hutchinson, who became Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1658. He was also one of the 59 signatories of King Charles I's death warrant.
Hutchinson's wife and biographer, Lucy, tells us that he was admitted to the college at the age of twelve in 1627 "...under the tuition of one Mr Norwich, an admirable scholar who by his civil demeanour to him won so much upon his good nature, that he loved and reverenced him as a father, and betook himself with such delight to his studies that he attained to a great height of learning, and performed public exercises in the college with much applause, and upon their importunity took a degree in the university, whereof he was at that time the grace, there not being any gentleman in the town that lived with such regularity in himself, and such general love and good esteem of all persons as he did. He kept not company with any of the vain young persons, but with the graver men, and those by whose conversation he might gain improvement. He never missed the chapel, where he began to take notice of their stretching superstition to idolatry; and was courted much into a more solemn practice of it than he could admit, though yet he considered not the emptiness and carnality, to say no more, of that public service which was then in use. For his exercise he practised tennis, and played admirable well at it; for his diversion, he chose music, and got a very good hand, which afterwards he improved to a great mastery on the viol. There were masters that taught to dance and vault, whom he practised with, being very agile and apt for all such becoming exercises. His father stinted not his expense, which the bounty of his mind made pretty large, for he was very liberal to his tutors and servitors and to the meaner offices of the house. He was enticed to bow to their great idol, learning, and had a higher veneration for it a long time than can strictly be allowed; yet he then looked upon it as a handmaid to devotion, and as the great improver of natural reason. His tutor and the masters that governed the College while he was there, were of Arminian principles, and that College was noted above all the town for Popish superstitious practices; yet through the mercy of God, notwithstanding the mutual kindness the whole household had for him and he for them, he came away after five years' study there, untainted with those principles or practices, though not yet enlightened to discern the spring of them in the rites and usages of the English church."
Reference: Hutchinson, Lucy. (2000) Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson, ed. N. H. Keeble (pp42-43). London: Phoenix Press. Revised edition of text by Rev Julius Hutchinson in 1806. Originally written in 1671.

Took me a bit to realize this was a book containing two stories. At first I thought someone had written a mashup of some sort.

During the summer of 1968, Shenandoah Carmody's mother disappeared. Her twin sister, Woody, stopped speaking, and her once-loving father slipped into a mean drunkenness unbefitting a superior court judge. Since then, Shenny-named for the Shenandoah valley-has struggled to hold her world together, taking care of herself and her sister the best she can. Shenny feels certain that Woody knows something about the night their mother vanished, but her attempts to communicate with her mute twin leave her as confused as their father's efforts to confine the girls to the family's renowned virginia estate.
As the first anniversary of their mother's disappearance nears, her father's threat to send Woody away and his hints at an impending remarriage spur a desperate Shenny to find her mother before it's too late. She is ultimately swept up in a series of heartbreaking events that force her to come to terms with the painful truth about herself and her family.
Told with the wisdom, sensitivity, and humor for which Lesley Kagen has become known, Tomorrow River is a stellar hardcover debut.

My Review - Lesley Kagen is one of my favorite authors. This was such a wonderful story that was told quite well.
