The era saw courts filled with defendants who spanned the socioeconomic gamut--farmers, merchants and politicians. In 1811, John B. Haynes tore apart William Badger's house with his bare hands. Rodah Barnett ran a series of ill-reputed brothels in the early 1820s. In 1818, Rebecca Layman "accidentally" gave her husband sulfuric acid instead of rum. There is even a case of assault with frozen corn. Author John O'Brien relays these and more stories of the shady side of North Alabama during the antebellum period.

Download or read book Into Siberia written by Gregory J. Wallance and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Wallance’s bracing narrative, Kennan emerges as a cheerful, deeply decent companion, an uncompromising observer whose greatest strength was his ability to change his mind. He’s a welcome change from the callous imperialists who people most Victorian travelogues, and his humanity allows Into Siberia to delve into horror without succumbing to despair." — The New York Times Book Review In a book that ranks with the greatest adventure stories, Gregory Wallance’s Into Siberia is a thrilling work of history about one man’s harrowing journey and the light it shone on some of history’s most heinous human rights abuses. In the late nineteenth century, close diplomatic relations existed between the United States and Russia. All that changed when George Kennan went to Siberia in 1885 to investigate the exile system and his eyes were opened to the brutality Russia was wielding to suppress dissent. Over ten months Kennan traveled eight thousand miles, mostly in horse-drawn carriages, sleighs or on horseback. He endured suffocating sandstorms in the summer and blizzards in the winter. His interviews with convicts and political exiles revealed how Russia ran on the fuel of inflicted pain and fear. Prisoners in the mines were chained day and night to their wheelbarrows as punishment. Babies in exile parties froze to death in their mothers’ arms. Kennan came to call the exiles’ experience in Siberia a “perfect hell of misery.” After returning to the United States, Kennan set out to generate public outrage over the plight of the exiles, writing the renowned Siberia and the Exile System. He then went on a nine-year lecture tour to describe the suffering of the Siberian exiles, intensifying the newly emerging diplomatic conflicts between the two countries which last to this day.

Book excerpt: A black man’s entanglement with a white family leads to trouble in this historical novel set in Depression Era Mississippi. To everyone in the small town of Linville, Mississippi, Jubal Jefferson is known simply as Dummy. A large black man who almost never speaks, he is forever pulling his mother’s laundry wagon around town. Little else is known about him—apart from the fact that his father disappeared after the flood of 1927. For as long as anybody can remember, the Dunaway family have been hard-working, decent people. They are a perfect white family in a town sharply divided along racial lines. But appearances can be deceiving, and lines are meant to be crossed. When the family’s good fortune is nearly destroyed, the children find an unlikely friend in Jubal. After fire engulfs the Dunaway family home, Jubal risks his life to save the children. But his act of heroism comes into question when the mother is found dead. Now Jubal faces his greatest fear—coming under suspicion in a community that offers no second chances to people like him.
