Refugitta of Richmond
In the expansive canon of Civil War memoirs, relatively few accounts from women exist. Among the most engaging and informative of these rare female perspectives is Constance Cary Harrison’s Recollections Grave and Gay, a lively, first-person account of the collapse of the Confederacy by the wife of President Jefferson Davis’s private secretary. Although equal in literary merit to the well-known and widely available diaries of Mary Boykin Chesnut and Eliza Frances Andrews, Harrison’s memoir failed to remain in print after its original publication in 1916 and, as a result, has been lost to all but the most diligent researcher. In Refugitta of Richmond, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr. and S....

Law at the Movies
This book asks "How can legal doctrine be turned into filmic art?" By "legal doctrine" Stanley Fish does not mean the sonorous abstractions that usually accompany the self-presentation of law—Justice, Equity, Equality, Liberty, Autonomy, and the like. Rather he has in mind the specific rules and procedures invoked and analyzed by courts on the way to declaring a decision—lawyer/client confidentiality, the distinction between interdicted violence and the violence performed by the legal system, the interplay of positive law and laws rooted in morality, the difference between civilian law and military law, the death penalty, the admissibility of different forms of evidence. In the movies he...

Only You
A noise sounded—footsteps on the deck. A muffled grunt. She hustled behind the truck and ducked down, held her breath. Okay, maybe this was a bad idea. The steps came closer. She felt on the ground around her and found a decent-sized stick. Wrapped her hands around it. Yep, epically stupid. It was exactly this sort of behavior that got her in over her head. But she wasn’t going to run now—not with the perp just feet away from her. She stilled, not even breathing. Heavy steps crunched through the loam and dirt around the back of the truck, and, oh— “Stop!” She leaped to her feet, holding her stick up. “Don’t come any closer!” He was a big man. Tall, wide-shouldered, wearing ...
