The Valley of the Moon

A road novel fifty years before Kerouac, The Valley of the Moon traces the odyssey of Billy and Saxon Roberts from the labor strife of Oakland at the turn of the century through Central and Northern California in search of land they can farm independently—a journey that echoes Jack London's own escape from urban poverty. As London lost hope in the prospects of the socialist party and organized labor, he began researching a scientific and environmentally sound approach to farming. In his novel, it is Saxon, London's most fully realized heroine, who embodies these concerns. The Valley of the Moon is London's paean to his second wife Charmian and to the pastoral life and his ranch in Glen Ellen, the Valley of the Moon.

Yet two thriving towns were in Walnut Grove, one Chinese, one Japanese. Most
of the land was owned by Americans, who lived away from it and were
continually selling it to the foreigners. A riot, or a merry-making — they could not
tell which — was taking place in the Japanese town, as Saxon and Billy steamed
out on the Apache, bound for Sacramento. "We're settin' on the stoop," Billy railed
. "Pretty soon they'll crowd us off of that." "There won't be any stoop in the valley of

speakable memoir possible. His message is a must-read. To lose a family is to
lose yourself.

In the Valley of the Bioroids

The Vortex Conspiracy

The blast radius encompassed the entire valley, shaking the surrounding area
like an earthquake, sending out very powerful shock waves that stretched three
quarters of a mile in the valley. The ground that the complex stood upon cracked
into large fissures where flames erupted from explosions of their underground
power plant. The base was designed to be self-sustaining by a fusion reactor that
transformed the magma from the Earth's core into energy that would power up

Returning to the southern end of the valley, we again struck the Muddy, and
followed it up to where it forks, amid the hills forming the “ divide” from Ogden's
Hole. The eastern fork makes an impassable cafion, but we followed up the west
fork about four miles, whence we crossed the Wahsatch range, and descended
into a beautiful, level, circular valley, about a mile in diameter, hemmed in by an
amphitheatre of lofty and steep mountains. Several fine springs head in this

The shadows danced in the underbrush and the smell of the season was all
around us. The deer crossed our trail in this land of plenty but all I could think of
was getting back before they came across the mountain. I paused for just a
second to take in the beauty of the valley and to get my bearings. Oneska had
called it something like Eolia, I think. It meant the Valley of the Winds. I also
remember passing by a large waterfall that must have been seventy feet tall and

The Scouts of the Valley

Purchase one of 1st World Library's Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - A light canoe of bark, containing a single human figure, moved swiftly up one of the twin streams that form the Ohio. The water, clear and deep, coming through rocky soil, babbled gently at the edges, where it lapped the land, but in the center the full current flowed steadily and without noise. The thin shadows of early dusk were falling, casting a pallid tint over the world, a tint touched here and there with living fire from the sun, which was gone, though leaving burning embers behind. One glowing shaft, piercing straight through the heavy forest that clothed either bank, fell directly upon the figure in the boat, as a hidden light illuminates a great picture, while the rest is left in shadow. It was no common forest runner who sat in the middle of the red beam. Yet a boy, in nothing but years, he swung the great paddle with an ease and vigor that the strongest man in the West might have envied. His rifle, with the stock carved beautifully, and the long, slender blue barrel of the border, lay by his side. He could bring the paddle into the boat, grasp the rifle, and carry it to his shoulder with a single, continuous movement.

Their minds always turned to Timmendiquas as the highest and finest of Indian
types. While they were at Fort Penn two other parties came, in a fearful state of
exhaustion, and also having paid the usual toll of death on the way. Other groups
reached the Moravian towns, where they were received with all kindness by the
German settlers. The five were able to give some help to several of these parties,
but the beautiful Wyoming Valley lay utterly in ruins. The ruthless fury of the

Grady Mccracken and the Valley of the Chiefs

A Novel

In a fallen world, where bad things happen to good people, Grady McCracken is chosen to set things right... The Hankotchetejas nation has been under the power of a foul smelling, mind-numbing potion and enslaved by Charon, their evil chief, since the loss of the sacred seeds many years ago. The Great Father has promised the restoration of justice, peace, and the righting of all evils with the return of his good son, Anomon. But before good Chief Anomon can come to power and depose his evil brother, the sacred seeds must be recovered and the people in the Valley of the Chiefs must be liberated from the evil power that binds them. A mild mannered and gentle schoolteacher, Grady McCracken, is chosen by a miniature Indian chief to travel with him into the mountains of Colorado to find the seeds, free the captives, and restore the Valley of the Chiefs to its rightful owners. In their quest for the seeds, Grady McCracken and the Chief face constant perils from the Farmundos, Charon's dangerous army. In addition, Grady's quest leads him on a path of self-discovery and spiritual evolution that will forever leave him changed.

be a valley of darkness. It will come back to life. The ground will produce for your
