From the colonial period through the early nineteenth century, Father Thomas J. Murphy writes a compelling chronology and in depth analysis of Jesuit slaveholding in the state of Maryland.
Tom Murphy, and his family, lived in Buffalo NY. At various times he was employed as a landscaper, appliance salesman, insurance agent, real estate developer, and civil servant. He worked for, and with, some of Buffalo's most noted, and controversial business and political figures, including Joseph N Desmon, Harold Farber, Robert J Bradley, Philip B Schwab, Edward H Cottrell, as well as Frank Sedita, Stanley Makowski and Jimmy Griffin. Murphy loved each and every job, and yet he always found time to laugh and to play with friends and family.
During her long reign, Queen Victoria was the target of no fewer than eight assassination attempts. In seven of these cases her life was saved by poor marksmanship or misfiring weaponry, but one assailant managed to strike her with a finely wrought cane. Remarkably, all eight of her attackers lived to tell their tales, and were variously incarcerated in asylums, deported to Australia, or in a few cases eventually released into society again. Paul Thomas Murphy shows how these obscure would-be assassins effected a change in history. Their attacks on Victoria galvanised her to face them down by presenting a more public face than her forebears, thereby laying the groundwork for the monarchy as we know it today. SHOOTING VICTORIA opens up a new window onto Victorian England. In exploring contemporary attitudes to madness, crime and criminality, it reveals a wealth of little-known and often surprising aspects of 19th-century British society and monarchy.
