Taken from the 1859 biography entitled The Rev. J.W. Loguen as a Slave and as a Freeman, this work follows Loguen's life from when he first arrives in Syracuse in 1841 and becomes a preacher and underground railroad depot conductor to his participation in the famous Jerry Rescue in which a fellow fugitive slave was arrested and shackled by Federal marshals in 1851. An irate abolitionist mob later freed Jerry.

THE GREATEST GENERATION AT PLAY! 
In Stickball Stories, the author reveals the world of stickball in the 30s and 40s in New York City. After World War II, five young veterans from Corona (Queens) formed a stickball team that went on to defeat the best teams in the city that they could find. After a memorable final game in the Bronx, in which the stakes were $100-a-man, the team retired, and everybody went to college on the G.I. Bill. 
Meet the author, Harold Hofmann, who traded navigating B-25s and C-46s in Africa and the South Pacific, for a stickball bat, a spaldeen, and high-stakes gaming in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens.
