Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a lot of fun with radios. I started with a crystal set that I bought at the store, and I used to listen to it at night in bed while I was going to sleep, through a pair of earphones. One night my mother and father came home from a night out and very, very quietly took the earphones off me. The radio blew a fuse, and the bell went off with a helluva racket. #2 I built an amplifier for a photo cell that could make a bell ring when I put my hand in front of it. I bought radios at rummage sales. I didn’t have any money, but it wasn’t expensive. I would fix them and then sell them. #3 When a person has been negative to you, and then you do something like that, they’re usually a hundred percent the other way, to compensate. They’ll usually tell everyone how great you are, and how you fixed the radio by thinking. #4 I have a puzzle drive that explains my desire to decipher Mayan hieroglyphics, or open safes. I was always known for solving puzzles in high school, and I continued doing so at MIT.

On February 15, 1851, Shadrach Minkins was serving breakfast at a coffeehouse in Boston when history caught up with him. The first runaway to be arrested in New England under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, this illiterate Black man from Virginia found himself the catalyst of one of the most dramatic episodes of rebellion and legal wrangling before the Civil War. In a remarkable effort of historical sleuthing, Gary Collison has recovered the true story of Shadrach Minkins’ life and times and perilous flight. His book restores an extraordinary chapter to our collective history and at the same time offers a rare and engrossing picture of the life of an ordinary Black man in nineteenth-century N...
This long out-of-print collection of the oldest recorded Lancaster County marriage bonds furnishes, in each instance, the name of the groom, the maiden name of the bride, and the name of the surety (often a relative). The nearly 2,000 bonds are arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the groom, and a bride's index at the back of the volume makes for even greater convenience.
