'Always You' is a true story about the dreams and love a Black man has for his wife through the music in his mind. As a child of the sixties and seventies, I grew up under the influence of the 'make love not war' era. It was generational music that transformed America. It played a major role in stopping wars, putting a face on racism, unmasking sexism, and creating an awareness of caring about mother nature. The genre of music, tempo, or beat, didn't matter because the message was always the same. Stories about love, heartbreak, peace, and happiness. These heart-felt stories manifested inside my childhood dreams and transformed me. They became my reality. Over the years, this music began to constantly play in my head, guiding me through difficult times. Life and death decisions were made with a song playing in my mind. Each song correlating with all my life adventures. It somehow created an immune system within me to stave off dolefulness, fear, and uncertainty. This allowed judicious decisions to be made. I believe God spoke to me through this music ... guiding me, leading me, and loving me. At 67 years of age, maybe it was time to take complete personal ownership of my life. Maybe it was time to grow up and stop living in a world of endless dreams. Maybe it was time to turn the music off.

A Mohawk Memoir from the War of 1812 presents the story of John Norton, or Teyoninhokarawen, an important war chief and political figure among the Grand River Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois) in Upper Canada. Norton saw more action during the conflict than almost anyone else, being present at the fall of Detroit; the capture of Fort Niagara; the battles of Queenston Heights, Fort George, Stoney Creek, Chippawa, and Lundy’s Lane; the blockades of Fort George and Fort Erie; and a large number of skirmishes and front-line patrols. His memoir describes the fighting, the stresses suffered by indigenous peoples, and the complex relationships between the Haudenosaunee and both their British allies and other First Nations communities. Norton’s account, written in 1815 and 1816, provides nearly one-third of the book’s content, with the remainder consisting of Carl Benn’s introductions and annotations, which enable readers to understand Norton’s fascinating autobiography within its historical contexts. With the assistance of modern scholarship, A Mohawk Memoir presents an exceptional opportunity to explore the War of 1812 and native-newcomer issues not only through Teyoninhokarawen’s Mohawk perspective but in his own words.

Excerpt from A Book of German Lyrics: Selected and Edited With Notes and Vocabulary Some of my readers will undoubtedly be surprised at finding only two poems Of Schiller included in the collee tion. May I point to the length of these two poems, 270 lines? Even to Goethe I have given only 362 lines. Why did I choose these two poems? The lighter lyric verse of Schiller is not representative of the poet nor would it have enriched the Anthology with a new note.
