Title: A Pickle for the Knowing Ones (Unabridged)

Author: Timothy Dexter

Narrator: Melissa Marie

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes

Release date: August 25, 2023

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A Pickle for the Knowing Ones by Timothy Dexter - is an 1802 autobiographical book written by American businessman Timothy Dexter. The book uses unorthodox spelling and grammar conventions, and contains almost no punctuation. Dexter was a rich businessman and eccentric, known for gaining his wealth through lucky investments like sending coals to Newcastle at the time of a miners' strike. The book includes complaints about things such as politicians and the clergy, while Dexter praises his own glory and even says that he should be the emperor of the United States. The second edition is noted for containing pages of punctuation in the appendix. Background Dexter was born in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1743, and began working as a tanner at 16. He moved to Newburyport, Massachusetts, when he was 21 and married a wealthy widow, Elizabeth Frothingham, obtaining a sizable fortune with the marriage. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Dexter purchased a large sum of Continental currency that was worthless at the time. Several years later it had regained its value from prior to the war, making Dexter extremely wealthy. With it, he purchased ships and began a trading company. Dexter began selling bed warmers to the West Indies, a move that proved to be a good idea when the captain sold them as ladles in molasses production. In another instance, Dexter bought a large amount of coal and sent it to Newcastle, an idea given to him by opponents as a trick, but it happened that Dexter sent the coal during a miners' strike in the town. Dexter's luck in the trading business soon made him one of the richest men in Massachusetts, causing much contempt from other businessmen in the area. Dexter had published letters in a number of newspapers that, in the words of Dexter, 'amused the public with the comical ebullitions of Lord Dexter's genius.' Dexter wrote A Pickle for the Knowing Ones and distributed it to the public free. Legacy 19th-century poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. wrote in The Atlantic in 1890, 'I am afraid that Mr. Emerson and Mr. Whitman must yield the claim of declaring American literary independence to Lord Timothy Dexter, who not only taught his countrymen that they need not go to the Heralds' College to authenticate their titles of nobility, but also that they were at perfect liberty to spell just as they liked, and to write without troubling themselves about stops of any kind.' The book was also covered by The New York Times in 1925. The author drew a comparison to Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack and detailed its usefulness in teaching typing, writing 'for the student cannot allow his eyes to stray from the text to the keys and make a successful copy.' Additionally, Dexter and A Pickle for the Knowing Ones were written on by author W. H. Blumenthal in 1932.

Title: The Widow of Ballarat

Author: Darry Fraser

Narrator: Rebecca Macauley

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 5 minutes

Release date: November 16, 2018

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A compulsively readable story of passion, adventure and a woman's quest for independence set against the colourful backdrop of 19th century Bendigo and the goldfields of Ballarat. 1854, Ballarat, Victoria When Nell Amberton's husband is shot dead by a bushranger, there are few who grieve his passing, and Nell least of all. How could she miss the monster who had abused her from the day they wed – the man who had already killed his innocent first wife? But his death triggers a chain of events that seem to revolve around the handsome bushranger who murdered him – a man to whom Nell, against her better judgement, is drawn. But Nell has far more than a mysterious stranger to worry about. With a mess of complications around her late husband's will, a vicious scoundrel of a father trying to sell her off in matrimony, and angry relatives pursuing her for her husband's gold, she is more concerned with trying to ensure her safety and that of her friend, goldfields laundry woman Flora, than dealing with the kind of feelings that led her astray so catastrophically before. After the violence on the goldfields, Nell's fate also hangs in the balance. It seems that, after all, she might need to do the one thing she has avoided at all costs … ask for the help of a man.
