Off the coast of Cape Cod lies a small windswept island called Penikese. Alone on the island is a school for juvenile delinquents, the Penikese Island School, where Daniel Robb lived and worked as a teacher, not far from the mainland town where he grew up. By turns harsh, desolate, and starkly beautiful, the island offers its temporary residents respire from lives filled with abuse, violence, and chaos. But as Robb discovers, peace, solitude, and a structured lifestyle can go only so far toward healing the anger and hurt he finds not only in his students but within himself - feelings left over from the broken home of his childhood. Lyrical and heartfelt, Crossing the Water is the memoir of his first eighteen months on Penikese, and a poignant meditation on the many ways that young men can become lost.Ranging in age from fourteen to seventeen and numbering up to eight at a time, some of Robb's students at Penikese have been convicted of crimes including arson, assault, and armed robbery. They are tough, troubled kids who are sentenced to the school by courts in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. During their time at Penikese, they live in a house together with the staff of four and share the responsibilities of living on the island - chopping wood, cooking meals, maintaining and repairing the buildings, caring for the farm animals, and doing other chores. For many of the students, it's the first time they've experienced such a combination of discipline and freedom, or the kind of trust extended to them by the staff. And despite their resistance and sometime wildness, Robb soon finds that they have the capacity not only to confound but to surprise him, both with their insight and their vulnerability. In Crossing the Water, he renders the boys' voices and his life with them - the confrontations, the rare epiphanies, the flashes of humor - with great vividness.

Excerpt from The Diary of Captain Daniel Roe, an Officer of the French and Indian War and of the Revolution: Brookhaven, Long Island, During Portions of 1806-7-8The children of this wort'hy couple, in order. Were Daniel, Joseph Brew ster, Deborah, john, Joanna, Charlotte, Ruth, Mary, Hannah, Rebecca and Hulda'h (twins), and Austin, of which list the last four were born while the family was in exile, i. E., while living in Connecticut during the Revolution. Vv'hile the temptation to dwell on the merits of each respective member of this family is great, the limits of the article forbid more than the barest detail, though this must be said, that each one was a Puritan of the strictest type, worthy descendants of people who had left their British homes for conscience sake. The regularity of the advent of children to this household from the first in 1762 to the last in 1782, with an interval of two years in every case, is worthy the study of sociologists; evidently, Nature had her own way to the letter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What makes people give up their life of comfort to travel thousands of miles across the sea to an uncharted land? This is what many have wondered about the settlers who made their way from England to the Virginia Colony in the early 1600s. From their arrival in 1607, the settlers of Jamestown faced many difficult challenges including starvation, Indian aggression, deaths by disease, or even unwanted governance. Through it all, the small band of survivors fought to keep their dream alive-and a band of Native Americans fought to keep their home from being destroyed. New Beginnings is a story of determination, defeat, and finally the triumph of the settlers. The endeavors of these brave pioneers brought other settlers to our shores. Jamestown and the rest of the Virginia Colony gave birth to a way of life that shaped our American culture forever. Like the others in the series, New Beginnings is illustrated with period photographs, paintings, and drawings. Also included are a glossary and an index.
