The Territory That Built Two States  

The Mississippi Territory existed as a political entity for nearly two decades. It stretched from the Tennessee border southward to the Gulf of Mexico and was bounded on the east by the state of Georgia and the west by the mighty Mississippi River. This enormous swath of America's southwestern frontier in 1817 was divided into the state of Mississippi and the Alabama Territory. Two years later, Alabama entered the Union as a state. Between 1798 and 1817, the territory transitioned from a sparsely inhabited backwoods frontier to a thriving and dynamic centerpiece in one of the fastest-developing regions of the country. Mike Bunn and Clay Williams chronicle that story in a richly illustrated introduction and guide to discovery of this pivotal era.

How Long Beach caused the death of John A. Lamb.

Immediately after his 1914 election as mayor of Long Beach, Louis Napoleon Whealton fired the chief of police and raided the city treasury. To replenish the funds, Mayor Whealton concocted a scheme to collect fines from any male "who made advances toward other men." Two special police officers entrapped and arrested thirty-one men, dragging them before a judge to pay up or risk a public trial. When one victim refused to play along, newspapers were quick to publish the names of everyone accused, including local pharmacist and popular churchman John A. Lamb. His suicide made headlines, but the city continued to target gay men well into this century.
Author and historian Gerrie Schipske uncovers the story of a tragic death with far-reaching consequences in Long Beach.

The Cannibal City
In the early days of the California Gold Rush, Sacramento City had several competing towns vying for the influx of newcomers. Many of its rivals not only had vibrant multicultural communities but also enjoyed superior geography for transportation and flood control. Even the initial land grant from Johann Sutter is considered controversial if not downright fiction, yet Sacramento thrived where others failed. Once-bustling Mormon Island was initially the proposed site of the railway that would end up bypassing it, and Brighton became a hotbed of agitation after the deadly "Squatters' Riot," leading to its decline. Hoboken, Prairie City and more were also wiped off the map.
The Special Collections of the Sacramento Public Library explores the history of these lost Sacramentos.

Thomas Jefferson and the Kentucky Constitution

A Major Influence in Kentucky Life
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson had a strong but little-known connection with the constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He had personal and politically motivated influence on the 1792 charter and secretly wrote some controversial state resolutions. Author Denis Fleming draws on firsthand accounts from Jefferson, John Breckinridge and the rarely used papers of George Nicholas, the brain behind Kentucky's first constitution, to uncover a huge influence from these men. He also demonstrates that modern reforms in job creation, education and the structure of government are rooted in parts of the document favored by Jefferson but dramatically interpreted by today's governors, legislators and judges.

The Milwaukee Crew and the Reno Redfield Heist

Six Extraordinary Society Hostesses Between the Wars

# data[].attributes.description
For fans of Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age, Queens of Society explores the lives of six remarkable women who made careers out of being society hostessesand in doing so, brought about a form of social revolution.

In the aristocratic circles of early twentieth-century London, the company was as starched as the tablecloths. But a revolution was on the horizon, in the form of six remarkable society hostesses who would change the political, social, and cultural landscape of Britain forever.

Some of these queens of society, like Lady Sibyl Colefax, were born into high society. Others, like Edinburgh-born Mrs. Ronnie Greville, clambered their way to the top by any means necessary. Lady Nancy Astor and Lady Edith Londonderry were political creatures, becoming, respectively, the first female MP ever elected and the head of the Womens Legion. Lady Emerald Cunard, meanwhile, cultivated artists and royals, playing a pivotal role in Edward VIIIs relationship with Wallis Simpson and igniting a scandal that would shake Britain. And American Laura Corrigan just liked a damned good partythe more extravagant, the better.

In an age when the place of women was uncertain, becoming a hostess was not a chore, but a career choice, and these six women presided over London from their dining tables and salonscharming, scheming, and mingling their way through two world wars, the Great Depression, an abdication, a coronation, and an upheaval in class structures that would bring their world to its knees. With a glittering cast of players from the Mitfords to the Mosleys, from millionaires to maharajahs, from film stars to royalty, Queens of Society is the witty, warm, and fascinating story of six women whose influence can still be felt today.
