Book excerpt: Prairie Hamlet: Rivers Edge, is the second book in the five book Prairie Hamlet saga, continuing the story begun in Mollys Place where we met Molly Hartnett and the many faces that fill her rooming house. Set in the fictional community of Canalport, near Chicagos downtown, The Prairie Hamlet series is a character driven and historically accurate storyline of Irish migrs who meet as strangers and become extended family as they confront the obstacles of the period. Prairie Hamlet: Rivers Edge takes us deeper into the lives of the characters we met in Mollys Place. While demonstrating the meaning of friendship, trust and respect the 'family' created in the first book of the series continues to struggle with and celebrate life in 1868 Chicago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of family stories, of pioneers who immigrated to central Illinois from a variety of locations in Germany. They dared to leave the Old World and seek their fortune in the New World and strove every day of their lives to improve the quality of life for their children and descendants. They left a part of Europe, Germany, comprising a radius of about a hundred miles, and settled in America, in central Illinois, within a radius of about twenty-five miles. Between 1845 and 1869, some came as families, some as individuals , but they all chose to inhabit the villages of Danvers, Minier, Petersburg, or the surrounding farmland. Of the pioneer generation, there were sixteen people whose stories are like little jewels embroidered onto the warp and woof of the historical tapestry of their time. The second-, third-, and fourth-generation folks are likewise described within the context of their times and always leading in a straight line of lineage to Mary and Bill Oehler, the authors parents. Every life has a story. It has been a pleasure to delineate these thirty-one lives.

It also covers the Marine Corps participation in the advisory effort, the operations of the two Special Landing Forces of the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, and the services of Marines with the staff of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. There are additional chapters on supporting arms and logistics, and a discussion of the Marine role in Vietnam in relation to the overall American effort.
