Durham, Philip and Everett L. Jones The Negro Cowboys
New York, NY, U.S.A. Dodd, Mead & Company 1965 Eighth Printing Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
Beige cloth on boards. Jacket is price clipped. Illustrations, and Maps. "Cowboys of the Negro race played an integral part in the building of the American West. Riders, ropers, and wranglers, they followed the long trails - the Chisholm, Western and Goodnight-Loving - driving millions of cattle before them. Some died in stampedes, some froze to death, some drowned. Some were too slow with guns, some too fast. Many of them drove on to the farthest reaches of the Northern range, to the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana. They hunted wild horses and wolves and some of them hunted men. When history became myth and legend, when the cowboys became folk heros, the Negros were forgotten. But they had helped to forge the new land and that story is their own."

Red paper on boards, blue cloth on spine. Volume has a bumped rear top corner, light wear to edges. Jacket is worn on the edges, tear at the spine front fold, and chips. Slightly soiled and rubbed. Now in clear cover. "This is the 'Handbbook of Patriotism' that is the publishing sensation of the year in France, where it has been passionately acclaimed and furiously denounced. A comparison between the France of 1914, which had the spunk and imagination to taxi its reinforcements of -poilis- to the Marne battlefields to save the country's life, and the France of June 1940 when 'the Generals were stupid, the soldiers did not want to die' and France was lost. The Taxis of the Marne is also the dramatic personal story of one of the most brilliant and interesting men in France today. Jean Dutourd was twenty years old when he went to war in 1940. He twice escaped from the Germans. He fought with the Resistance. An author, columnist, broadcaster, and editor, it is in this book, which seeks to discover why patriotism died for an entire generation, that M. Dutourd has evoked the deepest response - by giving voice to the angers and the aspirations of a people and an era."

Grey paper on board, black treated paper on spine. Now in clear cover. "The story of the cult murderer Jeffrey Don Lundgren - a husband, a father, a preacher, and a killer - mesmerized the American Middle West for more than a year. It is a tale of unspeakable evil, of hidden lusts, sexual slavery, of friend turned against friend, husband against wife against child, of demonic, homicidal urges played out within the white clapboard walls of a rural church. Based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interview material and trail transcripts, Prophet of Death reaches behind the well-reported headlines in this case to reveal the shocking innermost secrets of Jeffery Don Lundgren, his immediate family and followers, and the cult from which he sprang."

Eckhardt, Celia Morris Fanny Wright: Rebel in America
Cambridge, Mass Harvard University Press 1984 0-674-29435-1 First Edition Hard Cover Good Good
Orange cloth on boards. Volume is slightly cocked. Jacket is worn, with chips and a small tear. Now in clear cover. "Frances Wright dared to take Thomas Jefferson seriously when he wrote, ' All men are created equal,' and to assume that 'men' meant 'women' as well. Born in Scotland in 1795, she came to the United States in 1818, and spent half her adult life here, she died in Ohio in 1852, ending a lifetime devoted to promoting equality among the races and the sexes. The Marquis de Lafayette called her his adored Fanny and paid court so openly that he scandalized even his own family. The first woman to act publicly to oppose slavery. The pampered daughter of a highly stratified class society, she cast her lot with the working people, risking her health, her fortune, and her good name to realize the promise of the Declaration of Independence. With a boldness rare in women of her day, she attacked in print and in lecture halls throughout the country an economic system that allowed not only black slavery in the South but what she called wage slavery in the North. With the exception perhaps of Walt Whitman, she wrote more powerfully of sexual experience than any other American the nineteenth century."

"This book is about women and poetry, in particular about some of the women who tried to write poetry in the century of Donne, Milton, and Dryden. We have aimed to show who the women were who tried to storm the highest bastion of the cultural establishment, the citadel of 'sacred poetry'. They were all guerrilleras, untrained, ill-equipped, isolated and vulnerable. We have done our best to let them speak in their own voices; our commentary upon their performance reveals more about the English literary culture of which we are victims than it does about women's creativity."

Red cloth on boards. Volume has minor edgewear. Now in clear cover. "There are many gaps in the career of the anthropomorphic Prince of Evil as he appears here, but the full story would be a virtual history of mankind. In this anthology of the appearances of the Devil in the literature of the Western world, the editors have been guided by two major considerstions: readability in terms of the current taste and a sociological rather than a theological view of the Devil. The intention has been to include stories which are representative of the Devil in various cultures, briefly tracing at least some of the threads and symbols which have been woven into a hellish pattern."

The minority of natives has not failed to catch the mood of its enviroment, and this mood is expressed in not a little of the included material. Though it is related in form to all inheritance, and cannot be differentiated therefrom by concrete defination; nevertheless, like an intangible overtone, it gives new color and feeling to an older melody, and will become increasingly perceptible as it gains in conciousness, and as ears become attuned to its timbre."

Jefferson strove diligently throughout his life to free men from bondage of whatever class or character. Different forms of harmful vested interests today oppose the welfare of the people and it is against those interests that this book is directed.

Egan, Timothy Breaking Blue
New York, New York, USA Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. 1992 0-394-58819-3 Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine Geoff Spear, Jacket Photograph
Grey paper on boards, gold cloth on spine. Now in clear cover. "On the night of September 14, 1935, George Conniff, a town marshal in Pend Oreille County in the state of Washington, was shot to death. A lawman had been killed, yet there seemed to be no uproar, no major investigation. No suspect was brought to trial. More than fifty years later, the current sheriff of Pend Oreille County, Tony Bamonte, in pursuit of both justice and a master's degree in history, dug into the files of the Conniff case - by then the oldest open murder case in the United States. Gradually, what started out as an intellectual exercise became an obsession, as Bamonte asked questions that unfolded layer upon layer of unsavory detail. The closer Bamonte got to the man he is convinced was the killer, an ex-cop, he found himself more and more isolated. Shut out by retired members of the force, and facing tight lipped hostility he was made dramatically aware of the fraternal sin he was committing, breaking the blue code. Breaking Blue is a gripping story of cop against cop. But it also describes a collision between two generations of lawmen and two very different moments in our nation's history."

Eggington, Joyce Circle of Fire : Murder and Betrayal in the "Swiss Nanny Case"
New York, NY, U.S.A. William Morrow and Company, Inc. 1994 0-688-10564-5 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine B/W Photographs
Black paper on boards, black cloth on spine. Now in clear cover. "On a gray December afternoon three mysterious fires broke out in the Westchester home of William and Denise Fischer. The only occupants of the house at that time were the Fischer's baby daughter Kristie, and the twenty-year-old- Swiss au pair, Olivia Riner who was looking after her. The police determined that this was arson, and that the baby's death was murder. Olivia was arrested that night and charged with both crimes. Seven months later, at the end of a highly publicized trail, she was acquitted. Officially, the murder remains unsolved. In Circle of Fire, author Joyce Egginton takes a new and searching look at the "Swiss nanny" case, and uncovers a very different story. As the result of a an extraordinary piece of research, she suggests a motive - one not even known about, let alone considered, at the time of the trial. This is a riveting account of the manipulation of the media and the perversion of justice; of how a skillful defense attorney changed the public image of Olivia Riner from a probable murderer to innocent victim - and did it so effectively that most of the suspicion fell instead upon a friend of the Fischer family. As the only writer to be given access to the Fischer relatives, Joyce Egginton also presents a detailed and profoundly moving study of an American family thrust into the headlines by a bizarre and devastating crime, who saw the truths of their lives perverted, and who continue to believe that the murderer of their baby was not someone who was never caught, but someone who got away."

Charles Lindbergh was mad too - and Thor Heyerdahl and Edmund Hillary and every man who ever fell in love with a wild idea the rest of the sober world thought impossible.' So begins the wonderful story of one of the wildest adventures of recent time. It is the story of the journey across the Atlantic [Ocean] of four Britishers, three men and woman - halfway by the free balloon The Small World, and halfway by sea when they were forced down by a violent storm.They were in for fine perilous times - and finally, triumph. They came ashore in the Barbadoes, to be celebrated by the world."

Elliott, Kate (pseudonym of Alis A. Ramussen) The Burning Stone : Volume Three of Crown of Stars
New York, NY, U.S.A. DAW Books, Inc 1999 0-88677-813-1 First Printing Hard Cover Good Good Jody A. Lee, Jacket Painting
Black paper on boards. DAW Book Collectors No. 1114 Volume has a stretched front hinge, all edges worn. Crown of Stars is a series of epic fantasy novels by American author Alis A. Ramussen, under the pen-name Kate Elliott. The series consists of seven novels. King's Dragon, Prince of Dogs, The Burning Stone, Child of Flame, The Gathering Storm, In the Ruins, Crown of Stars. Set in Novaria, a continent heavily inspired by medieval Europe. Over the course of the novels it is revealed that 2,700 years prior to the present a war erupted between humanity and a race of elf-like beings called the Ashioi. Human sorcerers were able to banish the Ashioi homeland to another plane of existence, but in doing so unleashed a vast cataclysm upon the world that devastated much of humankind. Humanity recovered, initially under the rule of the mighty Dariyan Empire, and later under its successor states, guided by the wisdom of the Daisanite Church (which is heavily influenced by Christianity).The third volume in Kate Elliott's "Crown of Stars," The Burning Stone finds familiar characters discovering hidden strengths that will see them through the pain and fear of intimate betrayals and unfulfilled loyalties. Liath and Sanglant, forbidden to marry by King Henry but unable to deny their almost obsessive love, slip away from the king's court to begin a life together. Liath's buried sorcerous abilities drive her to find someone -- anyone but the hated Frater Hugh -- who can help her control and develop her unharnessed talent. Sanglant, the King's bastard son by an otherworldly Aoi woman, refutes his father's attempts to make him heir to the throne of Wendar and Varre. He chooses to accompany Liath, the memory of whom kept him sane during his year of captivity under the inhuman Eika at war-torn Gent."

Fredi & Shirl & the Kids tells of middle-class Jewish home. It is the story of a boy who is as incomprehensible to his parents as they are to him. With verve and dead level honesty Richard Elman has told his own story."

Elon, Amos Herzl
New York, New York, USA Holt, Rinehart and Winston 1975 0-03-013126-X First Edition Hard Cover Good Good B/W Photographs
Orange & black designed paper on boards, oragne cloth on spine. Separate review laid in. Volume has light wear, slightly cocked. Jacket is worn with slight chipping, rubbed. Now in clear cover. "In the second half of the nineteenth century a handful of statesmen, empire-builders, adventurers, and visionaries appeared on the stage of European history and proceeded to reshape the world in their own image. Perhaps the most colorful and unusual of these visionaries - but in the light of history, certainly not the least consequential - was Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism. A moderately successful playwright, and newspaper correspondent, he was an assimilated nineteenth-century Jew. Then the Dreyfus Affair awakened him to the dangers of anti-Semitism. He wrote a pamphlet that was to affect the lives of literally millions of people, The Jewish State: An Attempt at a Modern Solution of the Jewish Question. More importantly he set afoot the plans that led to the modern state of Israel. Herzl devoted the last nine years of his life to his vision of creating an independent, sovereign Jewish state. In this colorful biography Amos Elon tells the incredible story of Theodor Herzel with all the drama and panache of Israel's 'founding father'."

White with design printer wrapper. Volume has a vague spot on the bottom front cover, and is faintly beginning to yellow. Now in protective cover. A volume in the Portable Stanford Series. "We wish to share with the reader some of our observations about Japanese institutions and history: how these two Pacific nations, the United States and Japan, began their relationship, how that relationship was damaged by war and rebuilt during the occupation and its aftermath, and how Japan emerged in the 1960's and beyond as the chief challenger to American worldwide economic dominance. In spite of their marked contrasts - value systems, deep cultural differences, and differing attitudes about the role each should assume in this dangerous world - these two great nations have been able to forge an alliance that has netted a degree of both peace and prosperity that is the envy of friend and foe."

Empress Hermine An Empress in Exile : My Days in Doorn
New York, NY, U.S.A. J.H. Sears & Company, Inc., Publishers 1928 Hard Cover Good No Jacket B/W Photographs
Maroon cloth on boards. Owners name and date of the front fep. Volume has fraying at the spine, and the spine ends, moreso at the head of the spine. From Wikipedia: "Princess Hermine Reuss of Greiz, was the second wife of William II, German Emperor, and as such used the titles of German Empress and Queen of Prussia. In January 1922, a son of Princess Hermine sent birthday wishes to the German Emperor William, who then invited the boy and his mother to Doorn. William found Hermine very attractive, and greatly enjoyed her company. The two had much in common, both being recently widowed. Hermine just over a year and a half before, and William just 9 months prior. By early 1922, William was determined to marry Hermine. Despite grumblings from William's monarchist supporters and the objections of his children, 63 year old William and 34 year old Hermine married on 9 November 1922 in Doorn. By all accounts it was a happy marriage. In 1927 Hermine wrote An Empress in Exile: My Days in Doorn, an account of her life up to that time. Hermine remained a constant companion to the aging emperor until his death in 1941. They had no children. Hermine returned to Germany, to her first husband's estate in Silesia after the emperor's death, though she lived for only 6 more years, dying at the age of 59. Since 1945 she was held in house arrest in Frankfurt an der Oder in the Soviet Zone of Germany."

New York, New York, USA St. Martin's Press 1993 0-312-09924-X First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine B/W Photographs
Black paper on boards. Now in clear cover. "In 1991, in a French village, the police came to arrest Elizabeth Sharp, a mysterious expatriot with a sad demeanor and a Texas accent. Within hours of her arrest Mrs. Sharp slashed her wrists in a failed suicide attempt. It turned out that Mrs. Sharp was Joy Aylor, estranged wife of wealthy Dallas contractor Larry Aylor. Aylor's mistress Rozanne Gailiunas had been murdered eight years before; bound to her bed, strangled and shot. The only witness to the murder was Peter, her four-year-old son. Investigators followed a lethal trail of sexual intrigue, jealousy, and blood money. They encountered a sinister cast of bizarre characters and an array of tantalizing questions. Was little Peter really alone in the house as his mother lay dying? Why was a pot of flowers, later such an important clue, overlooked for five years? What was the drug Thorazine doing in the corpse? Written by a master of true crime, To Hatred Turned is an unforgettable tale of betrayal and justice, Texas style."

English, T. J. Born to Kill : America's Most Notorious Vietnamese Gang, and the Changing Face of Organized Crime
New York, New York, USA William Morrow and Company, Inc. 1995 0-688-12238--8 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good B/W Photographs
Black paper on boards, black cloth on spine. Jacket is rubbed. Now in clear cover. "Throughout the late 1980s and early 90s. a gang of young Vietnamese refugees cut a bloody swath through America's Asian underworld. They were the lost children of the Vietnam War, severed from their families by violence and cast adrift in a strange land. They took their name from a slogan they had seen on helicopters and helmets of U.S. soldiers, and it perfectly reflected their dark, nihilistic worldview: Born to Kill. This book Born to kill is an examination of the changing face of organized crime; a vast multicultural marketplace that has begun to take shape in America. Born to Kill lays bare aspects of this budding underworld in dramatic, human terms, through the eyes of those caught in a daily terrifying quest for their own unique version of the American Dream."
