THE COMPLETE LINE OF THE AKRO AGATE CO. Manufacturer of Akro Agate Marbles, Juvenile Glass Tea Sets- by Roger and Claudia Hardy,  is not only a collectors catalogue but a history of the Akro Agate Company of Clarksburg, WV.  The company was formed in Akron, Ohio by Dr. George T. Rankin, Gilbert C. Marsh and Horace C. Hill.  On March 23, 1911 they applied for the “Akro Agate” trademark which was registered in August of the same year.  After a couple of years showing success, they decided to purchase a larger building and expand their operation.  In late 1914 the company moved to Clarksburg, WV.  Much of the success of “Akro Agate” can be attributed to their ability to capitalize on automation and the changing world markets between the two world wars.  The original patent enabled “Akro” to mass produce glass marbles cheap enough to corner the world market.  “Akro” continued to produce marbles, ashtrays and small containers, children’s dishes, and powder jars until 1946 when cheap plastics and metal toy dishes became cheaper to produce than glass. By 1949 they decided to close and stop production.  On April 24, 1951 they had a final auction sale and sold everything. Roger and Claudia Hardy are avid collectors and historians of  “Akro Agate”.

THE STORIES OF A WEST VIRGINIA DOCTOR - In 1997 Dr. Harold Almond published a collection of 55 short stories about his experiences as a small town doctor in Central West Virginia Dr. Almond was born in 1915 to a large, close-knit family in New Jersey.  Through the wise counsel of his Scout Master, Harold developed a love of the woods and spent many years helping blaze the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail in Vermont.  Coming to the mountains and forests of West Virginia to attend West Virginia Wesleyan College, Harold began a never-ending love affair with this wondrous place.  It was here he met his wife of 51 years, Lois Flanagan.  Even during the years at Northwestern Medical School in Chicago and his stint in the Army Air Force in occupied Japan, his heart was in the hills.  He and Lois returned to Upshur County, WV in 1949. Together they raised five children and opened their home to numerous international students, devoted hours to planting their gardens and strawberry patches, were actively involved in their community, and above all, tended to the lives of his patients.  Until his death in 1999, Dr. Almond and his collie dog, McBrier, lived in the family home of 40 years on a hill overlooking the town of Buckhannon.  He enjoyed writing, telling stories to his friends and seven grandchildren, and voraciously reading detective stores.

The Sycamore’s Seedlings: A Genealogy of Samuel Pringle - by Jerry Pringle.  Samuel Pringle was the first settler near present day Buckhannon, WV.  His home was the cavity of a Sycamore tree at the mouth of Turkey Run.  This Sycamore, the first truly prefab, was about 11 feet across and on Indian land where white men had never tread.  Taking care so Indian hunting parties would not notice his presence, he lived off the land without the benefits settlements or condiments offer.  Living about 200 miles from any community, his brother, rifle, and forest animals were his only companions to lessen the loneliness of those isolated years. The tree is a third generation Sycamore; named the “Pringle Tree” it is a historical monument.  This book follows Samuel’s descendents as they grow and build their families. The author has advanced degrees in Management and Human Relations.  Trained as an investigator and analyst, he has many years of experience putting together cases from information obtained through interview and found in documents.  He is an eighth generation grandson who, after retirement, decided to apply those skills to the genealogy of Samuel Pringle.

WE ARE WHOOOO WE ARE - by Melinda Chambers. Illustrated by Sue Ann Spiker. Chambers states that nature provides us with numerous lessons if we are willing to listen and observe.  This is a story about the wonders in the forest as seen through the eyes of an owlet.  The wise father owl explains to his son in a light-hearted way that he can’t be something he’s not, because he is whoooo he is. Throughout the day the two owls observe various birds in the forest and the wise owl proceeds to explain whoooo they are.  The crows are the morning wake-up call in the forest, the robins are great nurturers, the mockingbirds are the forest gossips, the sparrows have beautiful songs to share, the vultures provide order to the forest, the bluebirds bring a slice of happiness, the blue jays can be destructive, and the mourning doves bring peace in the forest.  The owlet is content to accept that all birds have a purpose and are whoooo they are until he sees a young boy walking in the forest.  The surprise ending reminds the reader that we have the ability to choose whoooo we want to be.
