Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. pp347-365, illustrated with a portrait of Rutherford Harrison Rowntree, salvaged from a damaged issue of THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY, Vol 69, No. 4, October, 1995. VG in report covers. A very interesting article about a stagecoach robbery in 1880 involving a case of mistaken identity and the inadequacy, or unwillingness, of the lawful authorities in Kentucky in those days, in hunting down criminals and bringing them to trial. In this case, a former school teacher was misidentified as one of the robbers, and went through quite an ordeal before finally being set free. The watch that had been stolen from Rutherford Harrison Rowntree during the robbery, was found in the pocket of Jesse James almost two years later, when he was shot by Bob Ford. One mitigating circumstance in the law's favor, was the fact that the former school teacher, Thomas J. Hunt, had a "remarkable resemblance" to Jesse James.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding and its historical relationship with Jesuit universities in the United StatesThe Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, is renowned for the quality of the order's impact on higher education. Less well known, however, is the relationship between Jesuit higher education and slavery. For more than two hundred years, Jesuit colleges and seminaries in the United States supported themselves on the labor of the enslaved. "Let Us Go Free" tells the complex stories of the free and enslaved people associated with these Catholic institutions. Walker Gollar shows that, in spite of their Catholic faith, Jesuits were in most respects very typical slaveholders. At times, they may have been concerned with the spiritual and physical well-being of the enslaved, but mostly they were concerned with the finances of their plantations and farms. Gollar traces the legacies of the Jesuits' participation in the slaveholding economy, portrays the experiences of those enslaved by the Jesuits, and shares the Jesuits' attempts to come to terms with their history.Deeply based on original research in Jesuit archives, "Let Us Go Free" provides a vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding for the general reader interested in the historical relationship between slavery and universities in the United States.…
