Paperback. Zustand: Good. Aggie's world is defined by the length and breadth of Tripoli Circle, with its sturdy houses and solid families who have willingly given their sons to one war and then another and then another. Aggie's father, Daniel, is a hero. Five years after coming home from World War I, he is still drowning in its memories. The more fragile he becomes, the more Sara, Aggie's mother, is desperate to create a safe haven for their four children. To distract them from Daniel's bizarre behavior, Sara weaves such comical, outlandish tales that the children are hard-pressed to distinguish the real from the imagined. When the body of a neighbor is discovered in the house across the street, it is like unearthing the end of a string they are powerless to refrain from pulling until little by little it is impossible for any of them-Sara, Daniel, Aggie, the whole of Tripoli Circle-to ignore the shattering truth. A tale of war's aftermath and the toll it takes -as relevant today as it was those many years ago.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In 1803, when the United States purchased Louisiana from France, the great expanse of this new American territory was a blank - not only on the map but in our knowledge. President Thomas Jefferson keenly understood that the course of the nation's destiny lay westward and that a national Voyage of Discovery must be mounted to determine the nature and accessibility of the frontier. He commissioned his young secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to lead an intelligence-gathering expedition from the Missouri River to the northern Pacific coast and back. From 1804 to 1806, Lewis, accompanied by co-captain William Clark, the Shoshone guide Sacajawea, and thirty-two men, made the first trek across the Louisiana Purchase, mapping the rivers as he went, tracing the principal waterways to the sea, and establishing the American claim to the territories of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Together the captains kept a journal, a richly detailed record of the flora and fauna they sighted, the Indian tribes they encountered, and the awe-inspiring landscape they traversed, from their base camp near present-day St. Louis to the mouth of the Columbia River. In keeping this record they made an incomparable contribution to the literature of exploration and the writing of natural history.…
