Lafcadio Hearn's La Cuisine Creole is the first Creole cookbook, one of the great rare classics of the culture. Among its recipes, collected "from leading chefs and noted Creole housewives," are gumbos with oysters, okra, and shrimp; "grenouilles frites" or fried frogs; plum, sweet potato, and gingerbread pudding; and a number of beverages, several of which use absinthe as the main ingredient.Lafcadio Hearn spent close to a dozen years in New Orleans, starting in 1877. During that time, his writings significantly shaped the impressions, myths, and symbols of the Crescent City, many of which live on to this day.  Although Hearn was born in Greece in 1850, he chronicled Creole culture and the natural and domestic worlds of New Orleans-most notably its language and cuisine-as if he were born and raised there. Later in life, he became a citizen of Japan and is considered by the Japanese to be one of the greatest Japanese writers of his time.

"I'd like to see any man do better than we did on this trip." - Alice BurkeIn 1916, Alice Burke and Nell Richardson embarked on a daring and unprecedented cross-country journey advocating for women's suffrage. Before the nineteenth amendment enshrined American women's right to vote in 1920, it was legal only in a few states. So trailblazing suffragists Alice and Nell loaded a Saxon automobile and embarked on a state-by-state campaign for women's voting rights. Long before the modern highway system streamlined car travel, Alice and Nell drove a grueling 10,700 miles over twenty-six weeks, traversing some of the roughest roads in America. Backed by the Saxon Motor Car Company--one of the original Detroit automakers--and fueled by their own unwavering spirits, Alice and Nell advocated for women's suffrage in every town along the way. Author Jeryl R. Schriever shares the remarkable story of the first women to ever drive across the country and back, paving the way for generations of women to follow.

Excerpt from Indian Battles: With Incidents in the Early History of New England IT has been the growing conviction of the author of these pages, that there is much in the early his tory of New England suited to effect the happiest results that it contains numerous incidents highly, adapted to exhibit God in a most glorious and de lightful view; to give us admiring thoughts of his wisdom, benevolence, and faithfulness; to inflame the love, strengthen the faith, and awaken the gratitude of his people; to interest and instruct the mind, and to promote morality and religion in the community. With this impression, it seemed exceedingly de sirable that these incidents should be extensively r.ead But hitherto they have been confined to a few rare works, so that, to most persons, they have been inaccessible, and to a great degree unknown. The design of this volume is, to embody these incidents, and present them to the reader in one view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
