In 1360 AD, King Magnus Eirikson rules over a united Sweden and Norway—a Christian Scandinavia. Dark rumor has reached the king that the colonies in Greenland have fallen back into pagan ritual, along with an alarming report that the inhabitants of the Western Settlement have mysteriously disappeared, with farmsteads and churches left deserted. Magnus entrusts Paul Knutson with a ship and forty strong men to make contact with Greenland and to verify the truth of these stories. Among these men are Olav Sigurdsson—a young man sailing to prove his bravery to the king and to reclaim his father’s lost honor—and Eirik the Laplander, deeply loyal to Olav’s family, but a pagan viewed with suspicion by the other Christian Scandinavians. Upon confirming the disappearance of a whole settlement, Paul and his party follow a sparse trail of clues south across the seas toward “Vinland”—convinced that some of the colonists may still be alive. As the valiant band perseveres in the pursuit of answers for its king, going ever deeper south and westward into an unknown continent, Olav’s desire for justice for his father finally merges with the desire for success in their difficult quest. The Door to the North is another stirring example of Elizabeth Coatsworth’s authentic and captivating historical storytelling. Illustrated by Frederick T. ChapmanDoor to the North

During the Depression, thousands lived on the brink of starvation. In 1935 President Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration which was designed to get people back on their feet. One of its most innovative programs was the Pack Horse Library Project of Eastern Kentucky. Thoroughly researched and illustrated with period photographs, this is the story of one of the WPA’s greatest successes. People from all over contributed books, magazines and newspapers, but it was the librarians themselves—determined young women earning just $28 a month—who brought the hope of a wider world to the people in the hollows of Kentucky’s Cumberland Mountains.Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky

In 1750, Dr. Thomas Walker strode into the wilderness. He was looking for land on which to build a settlement, and he wanted that land to be on the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But first he had to get there. He’d heard of the pass that the Native Americans used, but no one had yet marked it on any maps. Dr. Walker intended to change that. His explorations ultimately disappointed him, but importantly, he had recorded the Cumberland Gap for all who followed.Dr. Thomas Walker Maps the Cumberland Gap

Through vivid characterizations of people and place, Joyce West’s storytelling draws her reader into the richly-textured, rural setting of New Zealand in the mid-20th century. In this first book, young Gabrielle Allan (called Gay) is living contentedly on Drovers Road, her Uncle Dunsany’s sheep station in the hill country a hundred miles from Gisborne. Besides her young bachelor uncle there are her three orphaned cousins—Eve, Hugh and Merry—and their Great-Aunt Belle. Taken in by Dunsany years before, after her parents’ divorce, Gay now scarcely remembers any other life. There are lessons at the local school, taught by pretty, sensible Susan Leigh, regular chores, plenty of horse riding and jumping, and pranks with Merry. Amid unforgettable characters, careless actions and scary consequences, young Gabrielle learns and grows, ever thankful for the shared ups and downs of the unconventional, caring family she has been given. This is the first book in the Drovers Road Collection. The second book in the series is Cape Lost. The third book in the series is The Golden Country.Drover’s Road
