Hardin Hammond was just an infant in his mother's arms when the family was thrown out of their home by Federal soldiers in August of 1862, the beginning of the Civil War. Hardin's parents, John Robert and Mary Owen Hammond, moved their family deeper into the Missouri countryside to escape the war. By following his father's sage advice, Hardin grew to be a hardworking and honest man. He faced many challenges in his forty-six years of life. He outwitted would-be thieves and murderers at age fifteen while traveling alone to attend business school in Quincy, Illinois. He mourned the loss of nine of his thirteen siblings and that of his beloved wife, Lillie, when she was only thirty-eight-years-old. Because of his vow to "do the right thing," Hardin experienced many successes. His ranch, Pleasant Valley Stock Farm, flourished, and he was recognized in his community for his service to humanity and his upright moral and ethical values. Based upon the Hammond family history preserved throughout the years, Hardin's Legacy is one man's story of success, compassion, love, and tragedy. His values and philosophy were embodied in his life's motto, "endeavor to do right."

I've sorted jumbled piles of fragments, restored them, and pieced them together in a way that reveals the speakers' world. --Richard Lawrence Miller, from the preface Quoting from eyewitness accounts, Richard Lawrence Miller allows Lincoln and his contemporaries to tell the story of this monumental American and bring a fascinating era of American history to life. The book covers Lincoln's birth through his first election to the Illinois legislature in 1834. Subsequent volumes will deal with Lincoln's life up to the White House years.
Public choice, an important subdiscipline in the field of political theory, seeks to understand how people and societies make decisions affecting their collective lives. Relying heavily on theoretical models of decision making, public choice postulates that people act in their individual interests in making collective decisions. As it happens, however, reality does not mirror theory, and people often act contrary to what the principal public choice models suggest. In this book, Russell Hardin looks beyond the models to find out why people choose to act together in situations that the models find quite hopeless. He uses three constructs of modern political economy--public goods, the Prisoner'...
