Описание: Arranged for easy use and compiled with obvious attention to detail, this book presents gravestone inscriptions from each of the twelve cemeteries in this region of Connecticut. The author's preface is a succinct, humble summary of the book's valuable contents: "This book is a collection of the inscriptions on gravestones and monuments in all the cemeteries of that area comprising what was Litchfield Town before 1859...The inscriptions contained here are believed to be complete to the year 1900, and a number have been added from tombs and monuments erected since that date. "Before each list of inscriptions found in the several graveyards I have inserted something of their history; and nowhere is the quaintness of old New England life better shown than in these dealings of man concerning his dead." Most dates fall between the mid-18th and late-19th centuries. Fourteen photograph illustrations and an every-name index are also included. (1905, 1996), 2015, 51/2x81/2, paper, index, 332 pp

Описание: No other book about the civil rights movement captures the drama and impact of the black struggle for equality better than Debating the Civil Rights Movement, 1945-1968. Two of the most respected scholars of African-American history, Steven F. Lawson and Charles M. Payne, examine the individuals who made the movement a success, both at the highest level of government and in the grassroots trenches. Designed specifically for college and university courses in American history, this is the best introduction available to the glory and agony of these turbulent times. Carefully chosen primary documents augment each essay giving students the opportunity to interpret the historical record themselves and engage in meaningful discussion. In this revised and updated edition, Lawson and Payne have included additional analysis on the legacy of Martin Luther King and added important new documents.
