Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. On New Year's eve in 1843, Rhode Island textile manufacturer Amasa Sprague was shot and beaten to death. Within 2 days, 3 Irish immigrant brothers - Nicholas, John, and William Gordon - were arrested and charged with murder. All 3 were eventually brought to trial. This is a graphic reconstruction of the crime, its social and economic background, and the subsequent trials. The story reveals the antagonism between native-born Yankees, who commanded great power, and the growing number of Irish-Catholic immigrants, most of whom worked in the textile mills. Indeed, the economic, political, and religious dimensions of the conflict are all evident in the trials. The authors argue persuasively that the Gordons were victims of prejudice and circumstantial evidence, serving as convenient scapegoats to appease a community outraged over the murder of its wealthiest citizen. Although William was acquitted, John was hanged in 1845. Nicholas, who was never convicted, died the next year. In telling the story of this notorious case, the authors reveal the politics of prejudice in 19th century New England as played out in community and courtroom. The book also speculates that Sprague's brother, US Senator William Sprague, may have conspired to murder him in order to gain control of the family business. Illus., Appendix, Notes, Bibliog. and Index. 184pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Review copy with loosely inserted slip.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1823, Richard James Arnold, descendant of a Quaker family involved in the movement to abolish slavery in Rhode Island, married Louisa Gindrat of Bryan County, Georgia, and acquired a plantation called White Hall-thirteen hundred acres of rice and cotton land and sixty-eight slaves. Over the next fifty years, Arnold led two distinct, if never entirely separate lives, building through successive Georgia winters a profitable southern "paradise" rooted in human bondage, then returning each spring to his business interests and extended family in Rhode Island.Organized around a surviving plantation journal kept during two winters and one spring, North by South encompasses Arnold's career as a rice and cotton planter as it uncovers the increasingly difficult social and moral disguises that enabled him to move freely through two worlds.…
