For more than a decade she was the editor in chief of "Book World" the book review section of The Washington Post during which time she instituted the partnership of The Washington Post with First Lady Laura Bush and the Librarian of Congress James H. Billington in hosting the annual National Book Festival on the Washington Mall. Arana claimed to be the only Hispanic division head of the newspaper at this time. She for many years directed all programming for the National Book Festival among numerous other programs at the Library. Arana is a Writer at Large for The Washington Post. Arana 's memoir about a bicultural childhood American Chica: Two Worlds One Childhood finalist for the 2001 National Book Award as well as the Martha PEN/Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir and the author of Cellophane a satirical novel which was a finalist for the John Sargent Prize. From her father's genteel Peruvian family Marie Arana was taught to be a proper lady yet from her mother's American family she learned to shoot a gun break a horse and snap a chicken's neck for dinner. Arana shuttled easily between these deeply separate cultures for years. But only when she immigrated with her family to the United States did she come to understand that she was a hybrid American an individual whose cultural identity was split in half. Coming to terms with this split is at the heart of this graceful beautifully realized portrait of a child who "was a north-south collision a New World fusion. An American Chica." Through Arana's eyes the reader will discover not only the diverse earthquake-prone terrain of Peru charged with ghosts of history and mythology but also the vast prairie lands of Wyoming "grave-slab flat" and hemmed by mountains. In these landscapes resides a fierce and colorful cast of family members who bring her history vividly to life among them Arana's proud paternal grandfather Victor Manuel Arana Sobrevilla who one day simply stopped coming down the stairs; her dazzling maternal grandmother Rosa Cisneros y Cisneros "clicking through the house as if she were making her way onstage"; Grandpa Doc her maternal grandfather who by example taught her about the constancy of love. But most important are Arana's parents Jorge and Marie. He a brilliant engineer she a talented musician. For more than half a century these two passionate strong-willed people struggled to overcome the bicultural tensions in their marriage and finally to prevail. The Dial Press hardcover

Alfred Beckley May 26 1802 – May 26 1888 was a public official who founded Beckley West Virginia and a brigadier general in the Virginia militia during the American Civil War. He named the city of Beckley in honor of his father John James Beckleyab who was the first librarian of the United States Congress. Beckley was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point nominated for West Point by William Henry Harrison and President James Monroe; he entered on September 25 1819 and graduated on July 1 1823 ninth in a graduating class of 35. This class started with 86 cadets in 1819. He was in the army for 13 years serving the entire time as an artillery officer in Pennsylvania Florida Virginia and New York. In 1834–1835 after legal disputes Beckley received the title to 56679 acres his father had owned in western Virginia. In order to manage his inherited estates Beckley resigned his officer's commission on October 24 1836. He then settled in Fayette County now Raleigh County West Virginia which was then part of Virginia finding it a "perfect wilderness". His home named Wildwood was built in 1835–1836 expanded in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Beckley returned to military service as a brigadier general in the Virginia Militia from 1849 to 1861; serving out of loyalty to his state even though he strongly opposed its secession from the Union. By summer 1861 Beckley was in charge of the 12th Brigade of Virginia militia against Union troops at Cotton Hill West Virginia in the Kanawha Valley. This region was largely pro-Union and his militia was not highly motivated so Wise condemned Beckley's unit in August 1861. Thus it only served until October 1861 contributing little to the Confederate cause. He officially resigned his commission on February 8 1862. Returning to Union-occupied Beckley he surrendered to the Union officer in charge Rutherford B. Hayes on March 16–17 1862. He was then arrested by the Union army on April 3 1862 and sent first to the Atheneum prison camp near Wheeling West Virginia and then to Camp Chase near Columbus Ohio as a prisoner of war. He claimed that he was really pro-Union but had simply been loyal to Virginia and had severed all ties with the Confederacy. He was released on June 18 1862 and arrived back in Raleigh County on June 26 1862. Cecil DeGrotte Eby Jr. was a retired professor of English He was born in Charles Town West Virginia.

1891018104Newtonville Mass.: By the Author: 1891. First published in 1890 this book is the second edition from 1891. "Illustrated with ten hand colored plates in which are given at least two hand-colored figures for each species. In preparing a second edition of this book I have not considered it advisable to make any changes in either the text or plates that appeared in the first edition. The present volume however contains an Appendix in which are given descriptions of one hundred and five species and sub-species of Butterflies that occur in North America east of the Mississippi River. These descriptions are mainly comparative and the text is accompanied by two hand colored plates on whcih are figured some of the species described. It has been my endeavor in this work to present recognizable figures and intelligeble descriptions of the Butterflies whihc occur in new England. The drawings and descriptions of the perfect insects are original but I have been obliged to compile descriptions of the larva and pupa from works of various authors who have written upon the subject."
