Excerpt from The Broken Sword, or a Pictorial Page in Reconstruction In the enforcement of the policy of Reconstruo tion in the South, the evidences were from day to, day becoming so cumulative and decisive, that nothing but the discipline of an enraged party, . Coupled with the spoils principle, prevented the whole mass of the community from a universal expression of its desire to have it abandoned. Reasoning men everywhere felt that it must'con tinne to multiply its mischiefs. But, said its authors, treason must be made odious, and' the late insurrectionary States must feel that there is. A higher law than that promulgated by their ordi nances of secession. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"The Broken Sword; Or, A Pictorial Page in Reconstruction" by D. Worthington is a novel set in the particular period of American history from 1865 till 1877. The government of the South by carpet-baggers was essentially oppressive and inquisitorial. It was, in its practical operation, a pure and unadulterated despotism, superseding the protection guaranteed by the Federal Constitution to each and every State. It was under the dominion of organized anarchy, with legislatures and courts of justice, subordinated to a lawless assemblage of unprincipled men calling themselves the representatives and judges of the people. Among its necessarily implied powers was that of confiscation, and numbered in its enumeration of brutalities, was a nameless crime that shocked the moral sense of mankind. Reconstruction came upon the South with fearful impulse.

Excerpt from His Broken Sword Remes met in the marriage of Dr. And Mrs. Kennard; they met and united, although indignant relatives placed the Atlantic Ocean between them for a year before the union. The Doctor was a Maine man, a typical New Englander; Mrs. Kennard, though reared by relatives in Maryland, had early been left an orphan in her native city of New Orleans he had no fortune beyond the equipment furnished by char acter, intelligence, and education she had inherited beauty and wealth, with a background of ancestral luxury. But the Doctor established a prosperous medical prae tice in the picturesque Western town of Milwaukee, and ten years of wedded life had justified his Wife in the roman tic experiment oi marrying for love. On one of the heights commanding a View of Lake Michigan and the beautiful southeastern curve of Milwaukee Bay stood their home, a low, irregular stone building, modelled after the Southern home of Mrs. Kennard's girlhood.

Winner of the British Fantasy Award: The ancient legend of the Danish Viking king is retold in a tale of vengeance, battles, magic, and monsters. In the court of the Anglo-Saxon king, a visiting storyteller regales the assembled nobles with the enthralling tale of her faraway land’s most revered hero: the Viking Hrolf Kraki. Born of an incestuous union into a royal family with a history of violence, jealousy, usurpation, and murder, Hrolf assembled a loyal band of the mightiest champions in the realm and expanded his small kingdom through wisdom, courage, and conquest. Unbeaten on the battlefield, his great deeds and victories became legends throughout the North as he ushered in an era of peace and prosperity. But Hrolf’s desire for vengeance was ever the warrior-king’s driving force, as he sought the truth about his father’s murder. This obsession would threaten Hrolf’s life and his rule—and ultimately bring his great kingdom to ruin. Poul Anderson, one of the acknowledged giants of twentieth-century fantasy, employs his unparalleled storytelling talents to bring Denmark’s great Viking king to life. A saga that predates the stories of King Arthur and his knights and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, while echoing the Oedipus and Beowulf myths, the Norse legend of Hrolf Kraki takes on a new and breathtaking richness in this classic novel the Guardian described as “full of thrills.”

A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
