Count Casimir Pulaski: From Poland to America, a Hero's Fight for Liberty - Annmarie Francis Kajencki "Know that as I could not submit to stoop before the sovereigns of Europe, so I came to hazard all for the freedom of America."

The Arizona Kid - Ron Koertge From the moment sixteen-year-old Billy steps off the train in Tuscon, he knows this will be a summer unlike any he's seen in small-town Bradleyville, Missouri. For starters, he's staying with his cool gay uncle, who has managed to get his nephew a job at the racetrack, caring for horses. Still, Billy doesn't expect the horse racing world to be quite as rough and tumble as this - toiling side by side with a macho survivalist and falling hard for the feisty, romance-shy "exercise girl" Cara Mae. With his trademark fast-paced dialogue filled with wit and compassion, Ron Koertge tells the tale of an insecure teen who discovers that gaining stature involves more than Stetsons and boots - and that lessons on love and manhood can come from places you least expect.
