Under the Flags of Freedom
During the wars for independence in Spanish South America (1808-1826), thousands of slaves enlisted under the promise of personal freedom and, in some cases, freedom for other family members.

The Streets of Louth: An A–Z History
The Streets of Louth offers an A-Z history of virtually every road within the town, from ancient streets such as Upgate and Mercer Row through to modern residential developments such as Anthony Crescent. Designed for the general reader and anyone who has ever wondered how the streets of Louth have changed and developed over time, it not only looks at the archaeology, buildings and businesses of each of the individual streets, but also the people who used to live on them, from brewers and fish fryers through to jewellers and prostitutes. The book also makes use of local court reports from the nineteenth century to bring the Victorian history of the streets of Louth alive, with crimes and accidents recorded that range from the mundane to the truly shocking!
Magnolias Don't Cry
EMO TALMIDGE's birth should never have happened. He was born to white trash and is diagnosed as a special needs child. The story begins in 1965 in the small Cajun town of Frampton, Louisiana, and destiny becomes distorted. As a young teen, Emo finds his solace away from adversity on the banks of the Yorkley Bayou and there he meets TYLER MONROE. It matters not that Tyler is black and that racial tension is rampant. Emo finds the friendship natural and beneficial, as does Tyler, and from that relationship comes the convoluted and tragic story revealed in Magnolias Don't Cry. It's a tale weaving together an assortment of disjointed personalities, political intrigue and the soul of New Orleans' famed French Quarter. Two women of divergent ways, one a prostitute and the other a social worker, struggle towards healing the deeply etched wounds of these two boys who have become fused together by the ravages of hate and revenge. But the women's efforts fail, as Louisiana politics interferes and in the end malevolence persists and its consequence shatters the lives of all.
