Gregor wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever..

Uncharted Course
Anthony Drexel Duke was born into three prominent American families--the Dukes of North Carolina and the Drexels and Biddles of Philadelphia-- but from his birth on July 28, 1918, he has charted his own course. It has been an eventful and often surprising journey--a nearly epic tale of world war and high adventure, grandeur and poverty, personal struggle and unflagging good will. In Uncharted Course, Tony tells the stories of his life: Growing up in the wake of his father's accidental drowning when he was five; being part of a colorful family surrounded with the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Mayor Jimmy Walker, Irving Berlin, Gene Tunney, and the future President John F. Kennedy; his six-year Navy career during which he commanded, at age twenty-five, an amphibious ship--his beloved USS LST 530--that landed thousands of men on the beaches of Normandy and Okinawa; his four marriages that produced eleven children; and, of course, the complete history of his life's work: Boys & Girls Harbor, the highly lauded educational institution that began with Tony at age 19 setting up a camp for half a dozen disadvantaged boys in Southampton, Long Island, in 1937. Seventy years later, The Harbor is an East Harlem and East Hampton institution that has touched the lives of literally tens of thousands of young people and has been hailed as a great American success story. In this thoughtful, candid, and highly entertaining memoir, Tony Duke regales us with the voyage of his life--so far..

San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point (Images of America)
It’s hard to imagine cows walking up Third Street or sheep on Innes Avenue, yet a large portion of the area known today as Bayview Hunters Point was once extremely rural. Called Butchertown by locals, the neighborhood was a source of much of San Francisco’s food. Over the years, it evolved into an interesting combination of residences, businesses, and industries. The area was home to slaughterhouses, tanneries, tallow works, a saddle shop, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, numerous boat yards including the legendary Allemand Brothers Boat Repair, and the U.S. Naval operations at Hunters Point Shipyard. Alongside these entities lived thousands of residents with unique stories and lifestyles. .
