Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Experience the personal story of a man who changed the world. A melancholy poet weathers tragedy, abuse, and self-doubt to keep a sacred promise. Included in the Lincoln Collection of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Abraham Lincoln is inescapably human, reliving the gauntlet of tragedy and abuse that should have consumed him, exposing his private reasons for standing firm on the brink of war. Seven-year-old Abraham Lincoln's boyhood dies when his father drags their family from the relative comfort of Kentucky into an unforgiving Indiana wilderness. While suffering rebuke for teaching himself to read and write, Abraham endures rumors of illegitimate birth, escapes death a half-dozen times, labors to repay his father's debts, and grieves the deaths of his infant brother, angel mother, precious sister, and beloved sweetheart. By his early thirties, he casts off his parents' religion, becomes estranged from his closest friend, and loses faith in his own character when he breaks an engagement to marry a woman he doesn't love. He spirals into life-threatening depression. In the prime of life, unable to keep a pledge made to his dying mother to become someone special, he wrestles with self-doubt, abandons politics, and resigns himself to a life of mediocrity. But when his long-time rival opens the door for slavery's expansion across half the globe, Lincoln faces the greatest challenge of his life-his beloved country is being ripped apart. Grounded in historical record, the story is enriched by insights gleaned from the works of prominent Lincoln biographers. Praise for Lincoln Raw: This is story-telling of a high order. -Chris Robinson, author of The Black Gun Impeccably written . rock solid scholarship . the humanity of this most humane of men touches my heart and uplifts my soul.-Kathleen Kelly Garlock, author of Gone for a Soldier . a monumental undertaking . great success. -John Phillip, author of Lady on the Cliff. A masterful piece of writing. -Darius Stransky, author of The King's Jew . an extremely well written insight into the personality of Lincoln - turning him into a living breathing person, rather than just a historical figure. -Kate Murdoch, author of Stone Circle Many speculate about the causes of Lincoln's melancholy but Fowler makes the reader feel them. -John C.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the 1890s, Spanish entrepreneurs spearheaded the emergence of C rdoba, Veracruz, as Mexico's largest commercial center for coffee preparation and export to the Atlantic community. Seasonal women workers quickly became the major part of the agroindustry's labor force. As they grew in numbers and influence in the first half of the twentieth century, these women shaped the workplace culture and contested gender norms through labor union activism and strong leadership. Their fight for workers' rights was supported by the revolutionary state and negotiated within its industrial-labor institutions until they were replaced by machines in the 1960s. Heather Fowler-Salamini's Working Women, Entrepreneurs, and the Mexican Revolution analyzes the interrelationships between the region's immigrant entrepreneurs, workforce, labor movement, gender relations, and culture on the one hand, and social revolution, modernization, and the Atlantic community on the other between the 1890s and the 1960s. Using extensive archival research and oral-history interviews, Fowler-Salamini illustrates the ways in which the immigrant and women's work cultures transformed C rdoba's regional coffee economy and in turn influenced the development of the nation's coffee agro-export industry and its labor force. Heather Fowler-Salamini is a professor emerita of Latin American history at Bradley University. She is the author of Agrarian Radicalism in Veracruz, 1920-1938 (Nebraska, 1978) and the editor (with Mary Kay Vaughan) of Women of the Mexican Countryside, 1850-1990: Creating Spaces, Shaping Transition.…
