Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee Appointed by the Common Council of the City of New York: To Make Arrangements for the Reception of Gov; Louis Kossuth, the Distinguished Hungarian Patriot Here, after being removed from place to place, he found a resting spot in the village of Kutayah, until the joint exertions of the representatives of England and of the United States, induced the young and generous hearted Sultan to allow him and his followers, against the remonstrances of the Russian and Austrian Ambassadors, to leave the country and their temporary imprisonment therein. The struggle of the Hungarians, under the lead of Kossuth, had been anxiously watched, and the result of it pained the hearts of our whole people; and enlisted the sympathy of our national representatives, and hearing of the intention of the noble minded Sultan, tenders to the illustrious exile, through the recommendation of the President, the United States steam-frigate Mississippi, for his conveyance from the shores of the Turkish dominion to the United States. The time, therefore, of the liberation of this distinguished man, being near at hand, and it being understood that the Mississippi would convey him directly to this port, where he would first plant his foot on the soil of America and of freedom, the following preamble and resolutions were introduced, on the 9th of September, 1851, into the Board of Aldermen, by Alderman Patrick Kelly, for the purpose of making arrangements to receive and welcome the illustrious patriot and exile and his comrades to the commercial metropolis of the Western World.

Book Description
Henkin explores the influential but little-noticed role reading played in New York City's public life between 1825 and 1865. The "ubiquitous urban texts"--from newspapers to paper money, from street signs to handbills--became both indispensable urban guides and apt symbols for a new kind of public life that emerged first in New York.

Book Description
"Major General William "Bull" Nelson played a formative role in the Union's success in Kentucky and the Western theater in the CIvil War... David C. Clark presents a long-overdue examination of an irascible officer, his numerous accomplishments, and his grim fate ... During September of 1862, in a crime that was never prosecuted, fellow Union general Jefferson C. Davis shot and killed Nelson after an argument. Clark explores this remarkable exception in military law, arguing that while the fact of the murder was indisputable, prosecution of the murder went by the wayside because a public angered by the arrogant behavior of Federal officers generally approved of Davis having dispatched an abusive tyrant ... This comprehensive study -- the first biography of Nelson -- eliminates previous misconceptions about a well-known yet misunderstood Civil War general"--Dust jacket.
