An epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy originally published as Voyna i mir in 1865-69. This panoramic study of early 19th-century Russian society noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families -- particularly the Bezukhovs the Bolkonskys and the Rostovs -- the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon 1805-14. The theme of war however is subordinate to the story of family existence which involves Tolstoy's optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The heroine Natasha Rostova for example reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and her motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism. Simon and Schuster hardcover books

The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. <br /> <br /> <p>He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth.
