Author: Lorri Glover (and Daniel Blake Smith)
A well-researched account of England’s rocky early beginnings in America (that) effectively pieces together a largely untold and essential story about how close the British came to failure in the New World. In the end, Glover and Smith argue, it was the fate of a seemingly lost ship that finally turned the tide.
Author: Tom Chaffin
In a tour-de-force of document-sleuthing and insights gleaned from the excavation of this remarkable vessel, distinguished Civil War-era historian Tom Chaffin presents the most thorough telling of the H. L. Hunleys creation and demise.
Author: Stephen V. Ash
Recounts the events of March 1863, when 900 black Union soldiers — led by white officers — invaded Florida and seized the town of Jacksonville. Although ordered to withdraw after three weeks, their collaboration with white Union forces persuaded President Abraham Lincoln to begin full-scale recruitment of black troops, a momentous decision that helped turned the tide of the Civil War.
Author: Ernest Freeberg
Tells the story of Eugene V. Debs, a five-time Socialist Party of America candidate for President. In 1918 Debs was sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act for questioning America’s entry into World War I.
