Paperback. Zustand: Good. Thirty six years have elapsed since the original publication of Corbitt. Ted Corbitt died in Houston, Texas on December 12, 2007 at the age of 88. Until the very end, he was still competing in marathons, and ultra-marathons He finished well over two hundred of them. I say well over because as age crept up, he lost the enthusiasm to run them, so he raced-walked through his competitions, and often failed to write the results down. Yet, age-group records and new accolades kept coming. At the end of this book, immediately following the Complete Marathon Record of Ted Corbitt to May l978, there is a brief addition of some of his major ultra-marathon races to the end of his life. There is also a listing of his athletic and professional awards. I wrote this book about Ted Corbitt as a tribute and a thank-you to a man who was much more than someone who was a great athlete and who brought me into the running game, and gave me a life-long passion for this sport. I wrote this book because Ted Corbitt was my mentor and spiritual father who, without directly advising me, led me to a productive life by following his example.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - THIS BOOK TELLS THE SHOCKING STORY of this long forgotten chapter in American history-the story of THE UNION LEAGUE, WASHINGTON'S KKK.The 'official' version of Southern Reconstruction is that there was a reign of terror - a systematic murder and intimidation by the 'white Southern ruling class' who were determined to keep free people of colour in a virtual state of slavery. The real picture is a good deal more complicated.One can find plenty of material about conflict, intimidation, and killing in America during the period 1865-1877; but the Marxist class conflict formulary of history - also known as Political Correctness-takes for granted as fact what is clearly partisan propaganda of the time. They never ask the essential factual and moral question: Who initiated violence John Chodes shows that the violence was begun by the Republicans through the establishment of the Union League.The Union League was a Northern organisation with the mission of maintaining the illegal and undemocratic control of the Republican Party in the South. Its mobs of Black 'militia' led by Carpetbaggers engaged in intimidation, theft, harassment of the innocent, and murder. They deliberately provoked violent response. Their coercion was directed not only at whites, but towards the freedmen who refused to support the Republican regime. In other words, the Union League used the methods of the Ku Klux Klan before the Klan came into existence - the Klan before the Klan!\*\*\* This title is enrolled in Kindle MatchBook.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - MOST PEOPLE KNOW something of Jim Crow and the segregated South - even if only from melodramatic television and cinematic depictions. Few, however, know how it came into being. The antebellum South was not racially segregated. It was a race-conscious society to be sure, but it was not segregated. How did this post-war social arrangement come into being Was it a spontaneous codification of Southern racism or can its origins be found elsewhere In SEGREGATION, New York playwright and historian John Chodes makes the case that segregation was imported from and imposed on the South by the conquering North before it was adopted and institutionalised by the South. If Chodes is correct, there is much more to the segregation story than the 'virtuous North' against the 'recalcitrant South' narrative that is at the root of the ongoing demonization of Dixie and the war on her flags and monuments. Such insight could go a long way in providing new avenues of discussion to better diagnose and treat the social ills we continue to confront in contemporary America.…
