A Black Odyssey
This book focuses on the career of a single individual—an ambitious, resourceful black American—and his efforts to realize personal fulfillment in a racist world. No black American was more determined to realize the promise of American life following the Civil War, nor more frustrated by his inability to do so than John Lewis Waller. Waller, whose first twelve years were spent in slavery, overcame his humble beginnings to become a politician, lawyer, journalist, and diplomat. Nevertheless, his life provides a case study of a middle class black caught between a desire to work within the existing political and economic framework and a need to reject a milieu that was becoming increasingly ...
The Invention of the Model
"This study of the artist's model in Paris between 1830 and 1870 incorporates three histories: a social history of professional models, a cultural history of models as social types, and an art history of representations of the model in elite and popular visual culture. It takes as its starting point the artist-model transaction: demonstrating that stereotypes of 'the model' that figured in the public imagination were framed both by gender and ethnicity, the book develops a nuanced typology of different types of models. Interwoven with the analysis of the constructed identities of models are accounts of the lives of particular models and the histories of the urban population groups from which they emerged. The Invention of the Model: Artists and Models in Paris, 1830-1870 is an adept exploration of a major issue in nineteenth-century art which will be of interest not only to art historians, but also to social and French cultural historians."--BOOK JACKET.
VINEGAR GANG LYNCHING - SIS VINEGAR'S STORY (BASED ON TRUE EVENTS)
On June 2, 1882 at about 9:30 p.m., David Bausman met death at the Kaw River while engaging in sexual intercourse with 14 year-old Sis Vinegar. Bausman was set upon by George Robinson, Sis’ boyfriend, and his friend Isaac King. On June 10, 1882 at about 1:00 a.m., a mob broke into the Douglas County Jail, removed Robinson, King, and Pete Vinegar, Sis’ father, and dragged them to the Kaw River Bridge and lynched them, one by one. Sis was spared the rope. The coroner’s inquest determined that Bausman, an upstanding, well-to-do, white citizen of Lawrence and former soldier in the Civil War, was lured to the Kaw River bottoms by Sis Vinegar, a Negro prostitute. Bausman was robbed, beaten t...

The Pearls of the Stone Man
A Promise made. A Love that will Last Forever. If you've ever loved someone to the depth of your being, someone who for one reason or other needed to move on, you know the power of a parting wish. The story of Joseph and Anne, his wife of fifty-three years, is the story of just such a wish—one that only true love could try to achieve. And for Joseph the strength to build the stone wall—a special reminder from Anne's childhood—will take him places he never expected and that you will never forget. The Pearls of the Stone Man takes us beyond generations and our own stone walls to the very humanity that unites us all—and shows us the incredible power of one couple's love to last beyond parting and forever change the lives of those they touched. "Mooney writes such a compelling story that it must be read word for word all the way to the end." —Antelope Valley Press "It's a very gentle tale, but it has an extraordinary power." —S.
