Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book celebrates the people who sang Sacred Harp songs in the Deep South in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and brings to light their vanished worlds. Rich in lively anecdotes and period photographs, the narrative, through treasured heirloom stories, guides our gaze to Alabama abolitionists, forgotten ballads, drone singing, shoutin' happy singers, swept yards, red-eye gravy, and Baptist biscuits. And the author delights in telling his own early journeys into Sacred Harp singing.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Captain James Moore of the Princeton, New Jersey, militia was a hero of the Revolutionary War Battle of Princeton. A four-decade genealogy search for the unknown original owner of a rare Revolutionary War silver-hilted sword discovers that the sword was his. This unique patriot sword, displaying anti-British iconography, reveals the lives and politics of the leaders and everyday people of Princeton in the Revolutionary War. The search for the story of the sword reveals its eighteenth-century context-its social meanings, its craftsmanship by a young New Jersey silversmith, the symbolism of its designs, and its celebration in ceremonies, art, song, and popular literature. This history is not only about a military artifact but about the dramatic Revolutionary War events in New Jersey that the sword witnessed. If you love American history, rare decorative antique objects, and a mystery, you won't put this book down until the last page is read. This story opens up a lost world of the struggle for American independence in the decisive time of the Revolutionary War.
