I Had Jelly on My Nose and A Hole in My Breeches:The Memoir of A Boy on His Dangerous Journey
Robert McNally
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
This is the memoir of a modern day Huckleberry Finn who delighted in youthful romances and wild adventures. My earliest memories are about living on top of a hill next to a crematory and across the street from a cemetery during the Great Depression. The only people I saw in the immediate area were the members of my family and Mrs. Wagner, who lived in the only other house on the hill. A few times a day I saw and spoke with the crematory workers, as well as the bereaved who attended their loved ones’ funerals. Occasionally I witnessed the wanderings of Gypsies, beggars and hobos. Down from the hill was my only playmate, Rosemary.
For a two and three year old, the hill was a fun-filled place to explore during the daylight hours, but the evenings were different. When my father went out to bar hop, it became so quiet that all we could hear were automobiles driving by. Some cars slowed to a stop. My mother would say, “Someone is out there snooping around.” It was a time when the cemetery held its dead while we held each other. Although the nights were often frightening, I loved the place and my girlfriend, Mary.

On a Sea So Cold & Still: The Titanic-A Centennial Reader
Daniel Elton Harmon
Genre: Professional & Technical | History
FREE for a limited time
This centennial reader recounts the timeless story of the Titanic tragedy—with an emphasis on aspects of the saga that may be unfamiliar to many 21st-Century readers. Coincidences and lengthening postscripts abound, and countless questions linger:
* Why were the lookouts in the crow’s nest not equipped with binoculars?
* Was there a smoldering fire in one of the coal bunkers, and if so, did it impact events before and after the iceberg collision?
* What if, instead of ordering a veer to port, First Officer William Murdoch had responded to the alarm by letting the ship hit the iceberg head-on? Would damage have been lessened?
* How culpable were J. Bruce Ismay, director of the shipping company, who curiously managed to find a place aboard a lifeboat? Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon, who not only took places and cast off in a third-full lifeboat but apparently discouraged the boat crew from returning to the scene to save others? Capt. Stanley Lord of the nearby steamship Californian, accused of failing to respond to the Titanic’s summonses for help?
* Was there a “third ship” besides the Californian in the area, potentially capable of executing an early rescue operation?
* What were Capt. Edward J. Smith’s final moments?
* What was on the mind of wireless operator Jack Phillips when, during the final minutes at his post, he transmitted the enigmatic signal “V”—and repeated it?
The Titanic, Daniel Elton Harmon’s volume in Chelsea House’ “Great Disasters: Reforms and Ramifications” series, was published in 2000. It focused on the aftermath of the great calamity that occurred on 14-15 April 1912. Expanding his research, Harmon has completed his sequel, On a Sea So Cold & Still. It sheds insights into the people involved and the sequence of events leading up to the catastrophic night.
Harmon is the author of more than 80 books including biographies of North American, South Pacific and polar explorers and an historic profile of the Hudson River. Nautical history is his passion.
