Troubled Ground
A Tale of Murder, Lynching, and Reckoning in the
New South
Claude A. Clegg III
Claude A. Clegg III revisits a violent episode in his
hometown’s history that made national headlines in the
early twentieth century but disappeared from public
consciousness over the decades.
Three black men were lynched in front of a crowd
of thousands in Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1906,
following the ax murder of a local white family for
whom the men had worked. One of the lynchers
was prosecuted for his role in the execution, the first
conviction of its kind in North Carolina and one of the
earliest in the country.
Yet Clegg, an academic historian who grew up in Salis-
bury, had never heard of the case until 2002 and could
not find anyone else familiar with the case. Mining
newspaper accounts and government records, Clegg
finds evidence to suggest a long and complex history of
lynching in the area while revealing the determination
of the city to rid its history of a shameful and shocking
chapter.

Freeing Charles
The Struggle to Free a Slave on the Eve of the
Civil War
Scott Christianson
Recounts the life and epic rescue of captured fugitive
slave Charles Nalle of Culpeper, Virginia, who was
forcibly liberated by Harriet Tubman and others in
Troy, New York, on April 27, 1860. This engaging
narrative represents the first in-depth historical study
of this crucial incident, one of the fiercest anti-slavery
riots after Harpers Ferry.
“In this magnificently conceived and subtly rendered
book, Christianson not only brings to life the men and
women of the Underground Railroad as they carry out
one of the most dramatic rescues of a fugitive slave
on record, he also guides us unflinchingly along the
heartbreaking fault line of racial relations that warped
life in America—in both the North and the South—in
the age of slavery.”—Fergus M. Bordewich, author of

Finding Women in the Sources
Edited by Nupur Chaudhuri, Sherry J.
Katz, and Mary Elizabeth Perry
Foreword by Antoinette Burton
Finding that women’s voices and their texts were often
obscured or lost altogether, the contributors of Contest-

weaving together many layers of information to reveal
complexities and working collectively to reconstruct
the lives of women in the past.

Radical Sisters
Second-Wave Feminism and Black Liberation in Washington, D.C.
Anne M. Valk
“Valk’s study of women’s political activism in Washington D.C., offers new
way to think about the various organizations that women formed in the 1960s and

the effort required to absorb its many insights.”—Journal of American History

ships among multiple social movements and the women who moved among them

Elizabeth Packard
A Noble Fight
Linda V. Carlisle
In 1860, Elizabeth Packard’s husband, a Calvinist minister, commit-
ted her to an Illinois insane asylum in an effort to protect their six
children and his church from her “heretical” religious ideas. Upon
her release three years later, Packard obtained a jury trial and was
declared sane. Before the trial ended, however, her husband sold their
home and left for Massachusetts with their children and her personal
property. His actions were legal. These experiences launched Packard
into a career as an advocate for the civil rights of married women
and the mentally ill. Packard’s laws were passed in state after state,
with lasting impact on commitment and care of the mentally ill in the
United States.

A Parisienne in Chicago
Impressions of the World’s Columbian Exposition
Madame Léon Grandin
Translated and with an Introduction by Mary Beth Raycraft, with an essay by
Arnold Lewis
“An excellent foreign traveler’s account of Chicago, the 1893 World’s
Columbian Exposition, New York City, and travel by ocean liner and
train. The book provides wonderful commentary on gender relations and
the contrast between Americans and the French.”—Perry Duis, author of
Challenging Chicago: Coping with Everyday Life, 1837–1920
This fascinating account of a French woman’s impressions of America
in the late nineteenth century reveals an unusual cross-cultural journey.
Traveling to Chicago in 1893 because of her husband’s collaboration on
the fountain sculpture for the World’s Columbian Exposition, Madame
Leon Grandin was impressed with the city’s fast pace, architectural
grandeur, and social and cultural customs.

Commemorating Hell
The Public Memory of Mittelbau-Dora
Gretchen Schafft and Gerhard Zeidler
Commemorating Hell is a study of the Nazi concentration camp of
Mittelbau-Dora, which held 60,000 prisoners, of whom 20,000 did
not survive the war. Prisoners at the camp worked on Werner von
Braun’s V-1 and V-2 rockets and were supervised by Arthur Ru-
dolph, who later oversaw the Saturn rocket project at NASA in the
United States. The book tells of events during the camp’s existence,
how the camp was memorialized under the German Democratic Re-
public and then the Federal Republic of Germany, and demonstrates
the camp’s relationship to the American space program.

Unruly Spirits
The Science of Psychic Phenomena in Modern France
M. Brady Brower
“M. Brady Brower clearly demonstrates the importance of the
French strain of psychical research and shows it to be a crucial
and unjustly neglected episode in the story of modern psychol-
ogy. What he has uncovered should provoke a searching revision
of the standard account of the resistance psychoanalysis faced in
fin-de-siècle and interwar France.”—John Warne Monroe, author
of Laboratories of Faith: Mesmerism, Spiritism, and Occultism in
Modern France
232 pp. 6 x 9. 6 B & W photos. 2010.

Written in Red
The Communist Memoir in Spain
Gina Herrmann
“A tour-de-force, impressive in its novel engagement with the
issue of the Spanish Communist Party’s influence on writing in the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Written in Red is the first book
dealing head on with party politics and commitment as an essential
dimension to the writing itself.”—Michael Ugarte, author of Shift-
ing Ground: Spanish Civil War Exile Literature
“Thoroughly researched and elegantly written, Written in Red
brings a sophisticated theoretical grounding and broad intellectual
and historical contextualization to the analysis of the autobiographi-
cal writings of six major Spanish writers and public figures of the
Civil War and postwar periods.”—Kathleen Vernon, editor of The
Spanish Civil War and the Visual Arts
