Book Description
Their Place Inside the Body-Politic is a phrase Susan B. Anthony used to express her aspiration for something women had not achieved, but it also describes the woman suffrage movement’s transformation into a political body between 1887 and 1895. This fifth volume opens in February 1887, just after the U.S. Senate had rejected woman suffrage, and closes in November 1895 with Stanton’s grand birthday party at the Metropolitan Opera House. At the beginning, Stanton and Anthony focus their attention on organizing the International Council of Women in 1888. Late in 1887, Lucy Stone’s American Woman Suffrage Association announced its desire to merge with the national association led by Stanton and Anthony. Two years of fractious negotiations preceded the 1890 merger, and years of sharp disagreements followed. Stanton made her last trip to Washington in 1892 to deliver her famous speech “Solitude of Self.” Two states enfranchised women—Wyoming in 1890 and Colorado in 1893—but failures were numerous. Anthony returned to grueling fieldwork in South Dakota in 1890 and Kansas and New York in 1894. From the campaigns of 1894, Stanton emerged as an advocate of educated suffrage and staunchly defended her new position.

Book Description
Charlene Zornes Perry, author of three volumes of Haunted Henry County folklore, passed away April 30, 2013, while researching a fourth book. Haunted Henry County IV, ghostwritten by Perry's daughter, Lisa Perry Martin, is Perry's true legacy. Always fascinated by the mysterious 1913 disappearance of Catherine Winters from New Castle, Indiana, Perry devoted more than three decades to searching for clues about what happened to the little lost girl. Did the 9-year-old run away with her favorite aunt? Was she kidnapped for ransom by a limping degenerate? ...or was she murdered, her body hidden so well that it took a hundred years and the tenacity of a justice-driven retired nurse to find her? Entwined through the pages of Perry's final goodbye lies the answer.
