Underground Railroad in Ohio, The, Ohio, American Heritage, Paperback

Underground Railroad in Ohio, The, Ohio, American Heritage, Paperback Ohio was at the heart of it all. During a dark time in United States history, thousands of freedom seekers traveled the Underground Railroad through Ohio. The Buckeye State hosted about half of all fugitive slave traffic of the antebellum era. A mix of Northern and Southern settlers in the state added drama to a struggle that led to major benefits for the state and the country. Unfortunately, this epic past was obscured by silence and secrecy and then distorted with misinformation and folklore–until now. Author and native Ohioan Kathy Schulz accurately details the development and workings of Ohio’s Underground Railroad with true stories of Addison White, John Parker and others.

NEW The History Press Explorations in Charleston’s Jewish History, SC 9781596290

NEW The History Press Explorations in Charleston’s Jewish History, SC 9781596290 In its over three hundred years of history, Charleston, South Carolina, has been known for many things. One of the most intriguing aspects of its past–and present–is its dynamic Jewish community. Documented as part of the Lowcountry since the 1690s, Charleston Jews have contributed to the region, the nation and the world. In 1800, the city boasted the largest and wealthiest Jewish population in the country, and Charleston has been continually shaped by this significant group of men and women, both religious and secular, humble and heroic. Here are their stories–both old and new–all intermixed with tales of historic buildings, congregations, religious movements and cemeteries, wonderfully told by preeminent Charleston Jewish historian Solomon Breibart. Collected from a lifetime of work, these explorations offer the reader a wealth of material: essays of historic significance, biographies, lists and chronologies, and telling vignettes that together suggest the rich mosaic of Jewish life that has been part of Charleston and the Lowcountry. It’s a tale told nowhere else, and no one could tell it better, or in such a lively way, than Solomon Breibart.
