To Have and to Hold by Mary Johnston
Summary: To Have and to Hold is historical fiction, portraying the lives of the first settlers at Jamestown, and it is one of my favorite books.? I’m so thrilled it is now available so we can offer it to you on My Audio School!
Full of exciting twists and turns, the language is so well-rendered that it is truly a pleasure to read. There were many times I found myself repeating certain phrases which seemed almost musical to my ear.
More than that, however, the book gives us heroes and heroines, as well as villains, to consider. To Have and to Hold, as its title would suggest, portrays a beautiful picture of the sanctity of marriage and of the nobility of a wife who embraces her husband’s vision, as well as a husband who cherishes his wife, even as he valiantly fights for her against all odds. You’ll gain a greater understanding of–and appreciation for–what the forefathers of our nation went through to forge the heritage we now enjoy. (Summary by Molly Evert)

The Path of Praise was a special Thanksgiving broadcast on Cavalcade of America in 1951. Full of excellent Thanksgiving music, this inspiring history of the American Thanksgiving holiday traces the Thanksgiving celebration from the days of the Pilgrims through George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation and Abraham Lincoln’s declaration which made Thanksgiving a national holiday.
To listen to these Thanksgiving songs, go to Kiddie Records Weekly 2009. Page down to February, week 8 and click on the link for Little Johnny Pilgrim. Below the record album covers (there are 4) you’ll see a prompt to Download the audio files or launch the audio stream.
There is no way to download just the Johnny Pilgrim and Guffy Gobbler tracks, but you can launch the stream in Windows Media Player and then select the track you want to listen to (in this case track 2).
Little Johnny Pilgrim is a song about the history of Thanksgiving. Guffy the Goofy Gobbler is a silly song about a turkey. Both songs are performed by Gene Autry.
