Zustand: FINE. First printing, a trade paperback original. Although Knickerbocker is an American name (there are no Knickerbockers in The Netherlands), the author grew up with her family history drummed into her by her elders. Raised during the Great Depression, she found her adult life profoundly influenced by her family's history. The first part of this book is a memoir of growing up during the Great Depression. "She and her parents were crammed into the top floor of Grandma Knickerbocker's home. Childhood was spent dealing with a feisty housekeeper, and an unrepentant grandmother who needed her son's help, but resented his young family's intrusion into her life." Part II recounts the history of the Walloons in the Belgic lowlands, and Part III is an early history of the two families - the Vincents and the Knickerbakkers and the founding of New York City. Illustrated with photographs. SIGNED on the title page and very personally INSCRIBED and signed on the half title page. Bibliography, index. xiv, 287 pp. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Knickerbocker, Barbara (illustrator). Neuware - And you thought history was boring Imagine being jailed, or your home burned to the ground, your family killed, your property destroyed-just because you believed in a different religion. Imagine having to hide any evidence of your true beliefs-or perish. History does repeat itself. Flax to Freedom is a glimpse of the life and times of French Huguenots living in France at the height of religious oppression in the 1600s. This is a fictionalized account based on historical facts that surround Charles Germaine, a distant ancestor of the author. He was a Huguenot who was captured and held in La Tremblade Prison in France because of his Protestant beliefs. He escaped and fled to America. This is a story of how his escape may have been orchestrated. Flax to Freedom is a fascinating story for readers of all ages. It will be of special interest to adults who trace their ancestry back to the French Huguenots who settled in New Paltz and other locations along the Hudson River in the 1600s.
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Knickerbocker is an American name. There are no Knickerbockers in The Netherlands. There never were. This famous American family name began as a tongue-in-cheek signature based on an age-old Dutch game. The Vincent family were Belgic Walloons who fled their homeland at the time of the Reformation to escape religious persecution. Flax farmers, they brought their sought-after talents to the nascent settlement of New Amsterdam (now New York City). Barbara Knickerbocker is a direct descent of both families. She grew up with her family history drummed into her by her elders. Raised during the Great Depression, she found her adult life profoundly influenced by her family's history. While researching the Vincent family during the Reformation, she discovered fascinating historic parallels between the experiences of the Belgic Walloons and the Sephardic Jews both in Europe and more surprisingly, in the early days of New Amsterdam. Powder Keg is written in three parts. The first is a memoir of growing up during the Great Depression. She and her parents were crammed into the top floor of Grandma Knickerbocker's home. Childhood was spent dealing with a feisty housekeeper, and an unrepentant grandmother who needed her son's help, but resented his young family's intrusion into her life. Part II is a 'museum' of Walloon and Knickerbocker-Dutch historical artifacts. Part III is an early history of the two families and the founding of New York City.
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Touches of Life in Time and Space is the personal journal through art and poetry. As Book 2 in Barbara Knickerbocker's Windows on History, following Powder Keg, Knickerbocker uniquely matches her artwork to her poetry as she tells family stories of growing up, as well as presents her family history over 400 years.
