Worthy of your consideration is supporting Weldon Publications, publisher of educational books such as March Into The Endless Mountains

Perhaps your heart and emotions will respond to books of this type because of your desire to better our educational system. Books of this nature give us greater knowledge of our place in history; Weldon books give students new dimension as to the generations that went before them, and honors those who put their lives at risk in creating and preserving this nation. These expansions of knowledge may be in your predisposition to support. If so, we of Weldon– who are so dedicated – and you as our benefactor are as one in purpose. In the final paragraph of this appeal you will understand Weldon’s concern about loss of our history. Terrible happenings are being caused by irresponsible office holders needful of public censure. This book, as were the writings of Thomas Paine, arouses public virtue.

Wanting knowledge of our struggle for Independence breeds little appreciation of battle sites and lack of feeling toward the flag itself other than as a symbol. There are local officials who do not know what the National Colors truly represent. It is a weakness within our society which we must strengthen. Wrapped into that flag is our belief that we are a Nation under God with concern for freedom at home and for all people, the benefits there from equally to be shared here, and abroad. Let us rediscover ourselves. Let us march again under our original flag of 13 stars as we turn the pages of March Into The Endless Mountains.

Weldon Publications presents itself as an IRS designated 501(C)(3) corporation rendering a public service. It needs public support. Donors can derive tax benefits from financial contributions and gifts of value. Weldon produces five-star rated books as attested by reviewers. Of dramatic content, these works are unlike dull readings offered as text books, devoid of exciting adventure. Weldon’s books contain the magic found in phrases which capture images, which put you in the moccasins of an Indian warrior, lets you perceive the steady-on gaze of a frontiersman espying from above the river far below. People of the past come alive. Herein you will find an ignored chapter which depicts the beginnings of war along the western frontier of America, then the Susquehanna. Author Colonel Ray Ward does what no ‘celebrity writer’ can do. He puts you into the action, makes you ‘feel’ the dedication and the emotions of the people who represent two cultures in clash, in the year 1778. We think you will appreciate his even handed treatment. The Seneca accorded Ward a high honor, adoption. He schooled himself in their expressive phraseology, to be authentic. It is this type of writing which you as a donor help Weldon preserve through publication of meritorious works, such as this lost chapter.

Here are reactions.

PBS William Jakes reviewing his copy prior to date of broadcast: Your book gives us both the complexity of actions and alliances from the Revolutionary War period and the personal relationships that can be lost in the sweep of history.----I’m sure there will be much interest in the aboriginal societies, the Six Nations and the important figures in the military and political action of the time. ----We never seem to hear much in our history classes about the alliances, diplomacy, espionage and opportunism that prevailed among the many parties during the period of the American Revolution ---important information missed in school.

John Burroughs in Reviewer’s Bookwatch gave it a ‘Highly Recommended’ rating, stating history comes alive as Ward deals with a pivotal moment of history.

Independent Publishers accorded honors to the book for superior levels of creativity, originality and high standards of design and production quality. In summary their comment was “BUY THIS BOOK.”

From the New York State Historical Association – We would very much like to review your book as it is apparently an important contribution to the historiography of the State. We’re particularly interested in your intimate knowledge of the understanding of events in the Revolution on the part of the Native American groups whose ancestors were involved.

You can help Weldon obtain significant savings, were it capable of reducing printing costs by placement of large orders, in turn those savings applied to promoting product visibility.

In urging your support Weldon Publications already is awakening minds to the importance of Newtown Battlefield. Were that battle lost, British led Indian forces would have captured the Susquehanna waterway, cutting the States apart, ending the great dream. This said, a local legislature by contract has made the site the dumping ground for garbage gathered from Northeastern States. Within are three known groups of burials of Continental Army dead, British soldiers and Indian warriors. With 6,000 contenders there well could be more. Equally unbelievable, these cancer carrying loads are being deposited on the lip of the Chemung which floods and feeds into the nearby Susquehanna. River pollution is inevitable. By survey, the National Parks Commission evaluated a number of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 locations, classifying six battlefields as most endangered, rating Newtown Battlefield as #1. The dumping has to be stopped. To rally public opinion by distributing books for free, with insert letter about this horrifying situation, requires dollars. Help if you can.
