Download or read book Creighton s Crossroads written by Betty Larosa and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would wealthy Philip Creighton leave his bride of only seven months to join the Union army at the outset of the Civil War--with the hope of being killed? That is the question at the heart of Creighton’s Crossroads, Betty Larosa’s novel of love, war, betrayal and retribution. Creighton‘s Crossroads is the first book in a four-part family saga. Philip Creighton, jarred from the privileged existence he’s always known, is forced to re-assess his view of life after sharing war-time experiences with a cross-section of soldiers from different states. These experiences take him from fashionable Washington soirees to the bloody trenches of Petersburg, Virginia, but his emotional journey is even longer and more difficult. Larosa, who lives in Bridgeport, West Virginia, near the heart of Civil War country, with her husband Gene, felt inspired to write about the human wreckage left in the wake of that war. During her research, she visited many of the battlefields and all the locations mentioned in the four books.

Download or read book The Penalty is Death written by Marlin Shipman and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1872 Susan Eberhart was convicted of murder for helping her lover to kill his wife. The Atlanta Constitution ran a story about her hanging in Georgia that covered slightly more than four full columns of text. In an editorial sermon about her, the Constitution said that Miss Eberhart not only committed murder, but also committed adultery and "violated the sanctity of marriage." An 1890 article in the Elko Independent said of Elizabeth Potts, who was hanged for murder, "To her we look for everything that is gentle and kind and tender; and we can scarcely conceive her capable of committing the highest crime known to the law." Indeed, at the time, this attitude was also applied to women in general. By 1998 the press's and society's attitudes had changed dramatically. A columnist from Texas wrote that convicted murderess Karla Faye Tucker should not be spared just because she was a woman. The author went on to say that women could be just as violent and aggressive as men; the idea that women are defenseless and need men's protection "is probably the last vestige of institutionalized sexism that needs to be rubbed out."
