Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When an ambitious young journalist is sent to interview a hundred-year-old ex-slave, he discovers the amazing story of the life of Samuel Timmons. At first, Jonathan Newcastle isn't happy with the assignment. He'd rather cover the war brewing in Europe, or the World's Fair on the horizon, not be sent to the backwoods of rural Appalachia to track down Samuel. Jonathan expects to write a fluffy human-interest profile about a man celebrating his hundredth year, but instead he encounters a sharp centenarian who isn't afraid to speak his mind. After living through the Civil War and finding his freedom with the Cherokee people, Samuel has developed an inherent interest in others. He sees something special in Jonathan and encourages the journalist to explore the world beyond his comfort zone. As Jonathan begins to bond with the old man, Samuel opens his eyes to a new way of looking at things. The two argue about slavery, racism, civil rights, war, and other pressing social issues. Samuel's points about peace and purpose combine his own insight with Cherokee wisdom. As the conversations continue, Jonathan realizes that this old man's story could be the most important one he's ever reported.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, "Samuel Adams was the man." With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history. Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams's improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. I pity Mr. Sam Adams, his cousin John Adams wrote to his wife, for he was born a Rebel. At virtually every juncture of the American Revolution, from the Boston Massacre and Tea Party to Lexington and Concord and the ratification of the Constitution, Samuel Adams played a forceful role. With his fiery rhetoric and religious fervor, he was in many respects the moral conscience of the new nation. The love of liberty, he thundered, is interwoven in the soul of man, and can never be totally extinguished. And yet history has neglected him; today Samuel Adams is best known as a brand of beer. As relations with Great Britain healed in the nineteenth century, historians were all too willing to dismiss him as a zealot; Adams's distrust of secularism (he envisioned America as a Christian Sparta) has not endeared him to many contemporary scholars, either. Ira Stoll's fascinating biography not only restores this figure to his rightful place in history but portrays him as a man of God whose skepticism of a powerful central government, uncompromising support for freedom of the press, concern about the influence of money on elections, voluble love of liberty, and selfless endurance in a war for freedom has enormous relevance to Americans today.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. For a decade, beginning in 1660, an ambitious young London civil servant kept an astonishingly candid account of his life during one of the most defining periods in British history. In Samuel Pepys, Claire Tomalin offers us a fully realized and richly nuanced portrait of this man, whose inadvertent masterpiece would establish him as the greatest diarist in the English language. Against the backdrop of plague, civil war, and regicide, with John Milton composing diplomatic correspondence for Oliver Cromwell, Christopher Wren drawing up plans to rebuild London, and Isaac Newton advancing the empirical study of the world around us, Tomalin weaves a breathtaking account of a figure who has passed on to us much of what we know about seventeenth-century London. We witness Pepys's early life and education, see him advising King Charles I before running to watch the great fire consume London, learn about the great events of the day as well as the most intimate personal details that Pepys encrypted in the Diary, follow him through his later years as a powerful naval administrator, and come to appreciate how Pepys's singular literary enterprise would in many ways prefigure our modern selves. With exquisite insight and compassion, Samuel Pepys captures the uniquely fascinating figure whose legacy lives on more than three hundred years after his death.…
