Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edward Ball and Some of His Descendants The importance of preserving family records in print is now universally admitted by intelligent people, and family histories are constantly appearing. In the pages that follow, an elaborate genealogy is not attempted, hut simply a modest effort to gather a few threads that might otherwise be lost. It was hoped that Edward Hall might have been traced to his English home, hut as was usually the case with the first comers to New England, no record is found to assist the investigator, nor is Edward's name found in any ship list as a passenger. At least half a dozen Halls of his generation, or the generation before, are found as settlers in various parts of New England, hut they are not any of them known to he connected with the subject of our sketch, though one of them, John Hall, early of the Isle of Shoals, was there engaged in prosecuting the fisheries, which was in part the avocation also of Edward Hall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years after its hardcover debut, the FSG Classics reissue of the celebrated work of narrative nonfiction that won the National Book Award and changed the American conversation about race, with a new preface by the author The Ball family hails from South Carolina—Charleston and thereabouts. Their plantations were among the oldest and longest-standing plantations in the South. Between 1698 and 1865, close to four thousand black people were born into slavery under the Balls or were bought by them. In Slaves in the Family, Edward Ball recounts his efforts to track down and meet the descendants of his family's slaves. Part historical narrative, part oral history, part personal story of investigation and catharsis, Slaves in the Family is, in the words of Pat Conroy, "a work of breathtaking generosity and courage, a magnificent study of the complexity and strangeness and beauty of the word ‘family.'"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A haunting tapestry of interwoven stories that inform us not just about our past but about the resentment-bred demons that are all too present in our society today . . . The interconnected strands of race and history give Ball’s entrancing stories a Faulknerian resonance." —Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review A 2020 NPR staff pick | One of The New York Times' thirteen books to watch for in August | One of The Washington Post's ten books to read in August | A Literary Hub best book of the summer| One of Kirkus Reviews' sixteen best books to read in August The life and times of a militant white supremacist, written by one of his offspring, National Book Award–winner Edward Ball Life of a Klansman tells the story of a warrior in the Ku Klux Klan, a carpenter in Louisiana who took up the cause of fanatical racism during the years after the Civil War. Edward Ball, a descendant of the Klansman, paints a portrait of his family’s anti-black militant that is part history, part memoir rich in personal detail. Sifting through family lore about “our Klansman” as well as public and private records, Ball reconstructs the story of his great-great grandfather, Constant Lecorgne. A white French Creole, father of five, and working class ship carpenter, Lecorgne had a career in white terror of notable and bloody completeness: massacres, night riding, masked marches, street rampages—all part of a tireless effort that he and other Klansmen made to restore white power when it was threatened by the emancipation of four million enslaved African Americans. To offer a non-white view of the Ku-klux, Ball seeks out descendants of African Americans who were once victimized by “our Klansman” and his comrades, and shares their stories. For whites, to have a Klansman in the family tree is no rare thing: Demographic estimates suggest that fifty percent of whites in the United States have at least one ancestor who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan at some point in its history. That is, one-half of white Americans could write a Klan family memoir, if they wished. In an era when racist ideology and violence are again loose in the public square, Life of a Klansman offers a personal origin story of white supremacy. Ball’s family memoir traces the vines that have grown from militant roots in the Old South into the bitter fruit of the present, when whiteness is again a cause that can veer into hate and domestic terror.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Ball Family: Genealogy of the New Haven Branch, Allen Ball and Some of His Descendants, 1638-1864 Leonard Abraham Bradley was a descendant of Allen Ball through Mary Ball (daughter of Deacon Stephen Ball), who married Abraham Bradley, his grandfather. Abram Bradley, as he was generally known, was born in New Haven, Connecticut, March 14th, 1833, and graduated at Yale College in the Class of 1855, of which he was the Vice-Secretary for many years. After studying for a few months at the Union Theological Seminary of New York, he decided to follow the law as his profession. He graduated at the Yale Law School, '55-56, and was admitted to the Bar Association of New York in 1858, and to the Connecticut Bar in 1870. He resided in New York for thirty years and was for a long time in the office of Strong & Cadwalader, whose Senior partner, Mr. Charles E.Strong, was his cousin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Chicago Tribune Noteworthy Book of the Year Nearly 140 years ago, in frontier California, photographer Eadweard Muybridge captured time with his camera and played it back on a flickering screen, inventing the breakthrough technology of moving pictures. Yet the visionary inventor Muybridge was also a murderer who killed coolly and meticulously, and his trial became a national sensation. Despite Muybridge’s crime, the artist’s patron, railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University, hired the photographer to answer the question of whether the four hooves of a running horse ever left the ground all at once—and together these two unlikely men launched the age of visual media. Written with style and passion by National Book Award-winner Edward Ball, this riveting true-crime tale of the partnership between the murderer who invented the movies and the robber baron who built the railroads puts on display the virtues and vices of the great American West.
