Book Description
July 24, 1883. Deputy John Willford Simms wrests the bloodied star from his murdered father's chest and pins it on, "My father's star makes me sheriff." The mayor protests, "You'll be a fugitive sheriff." They both know John Willford has a bounty on his head because he took a second wife at the Mormon bishop's bidding fourteen years before. It matters little. Across the high mountains of Summit County, Utah Territory, Sheriff Simms hunts his father's killer for four years, while a U.S. marshal, leading his fallen-away Mormon deputies, hunts the sheriff. When the marshal finally captures Simms, will the community rally around the sheriff to engineer his escape?

The Black Laws in the Old Northwest
Author: Stephen MiddletonPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313064490
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
The Northwest Territory (now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin), under the Ordinance of 1787, was a free jurisdiction. Yet, all of the states of the territory, except Wisconsin, adopted Black Laws, legislation designed to subjugate African Americans. For the first time, this book brings together the Black Laws of the Old Northwest. The documents in the volume include statutes, legislative reports and resolutions, and petitions and memorials produced by the state legislatures, government agencies, or concerned citizens. Together, the documents provide a history of racial discrimination in this free territory. After a brief prologue, Stephen Middleton organizes the documents by state. Within each state, the documents are arranged into sets on specific topics such as immigration laws, welfare and public education laws, and jury and testimony laws. Although in general the editor lets the documents speak for themselves, he introduces each set of documents with commentary pointing to the themes in the documents. The volume will be a valuable resource for both students and scholars concerned with African-American history.
