Описание: Do not mistake this book as just another rehash of old news. What is presented within these pages is much shocking new information in the form of court records and many 1875 period photographs. It is the first fact-based, carefully researched account of how the James-Younger Gang actually operated and escaped capture by "looking for themselves" in a bona fide posse composed of KGC lawmen. This book was written by a descendant of the participants.

Автор: Morgan-Owens Jesse Название: Girl in Black and White: The Story of Mary Mildred Williams and the Abolition Movement ISBN: 168441881X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781684418817 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 27580.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: When a decades-long court battle resulted in her family's freedom in 1855, seven-year-old Mary Mildred Williams unexpectedly became the face of American slavery. Famous abolitionists Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry David Thoreau, and John Albion Andrew would help Mary and her family in freedom, but Senator Charles Sumner saw a monumental political opportunity. Due to generations of sexual violence, Mary's skin was so light that she "passed" as white, and this fact would make her the key to his white audience's sympathy. During his sold-out abolitionist lecture series, Sumner paraded Mary in front of rapt audiences as evidence that slavery was not bounded by race. Drawing upon long-overlooked primary sources, Jessie Morgan-Owens investigates tangled generations of sexual enslavement and the fraught politics that led Mary to Sumner. She follows Mary's story through the lives of her determined mother and grandmother to her own adulthood, parallel to the story of the antislavery movement and the eventual signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Girl in Black and White restores Mary to her rightful place in history and uncovers a dramatic narrative of travels along the Underground Railroad, relationships tested by oppression, and the struggles of life after emancipation.
