Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gerrit Smith: The Story of a Noble Man's Life Smith were both at that time poor young men with their own fortunes to make. They started a little store and dealt in furs, which they procured direct from the Indian hunters of the North. In summer they would go to Albany, by sloop, thence on foot into the interior of the State, then almost a wilderness, and mostly inhabited by the savage tribes, and, climbing mountains, wading or swimming rivers, visited the Mohawks, the Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, and other tribes, who held till summer the Spoils of their winter's hunt which they were ready to exchange for cheap trinkets, beads, shells, bits of glass and other articles, costing little to the traders but dear to savage eyes. Astor and Smith so won the good will of these simple sons of the forest that they not only obtained furs of great value very cheaply, but secured the services of their Indian friends to transport the furs by canoe and on their backs to Albany, whence they were shipped down the Hudson to New York. Those who have read Irving's Astoria will remem ber the wonderful breadth of mind and general capacity for affairs and the management of men shown by Mr. Astor; and his partner, Peter Smith, also proved to be a very shrewd and successful man of business. Astoria, on the Pacific coast, as well as the Astor library in New York are monuments to Mr Astor, but the life, character and in uence of Gerrit Smith are more valuable reminders of Peter Smith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when slavery was spreading and the country was steeped in racism, two white men and two black men overcame social barriers and mistrust to form a unique alliance that sought nothing less than the end of all evil. Drawing on the largest extant bi-racial correspondence in the Civil War era, John Stauffer braids together these men's struggles to reconcile ideals of justice with the reality of slavery and oppression. Who could imagine that Gerrit Smith, one of the richest men in the country, would give away his wealth to the poor and ally himself with Frederick Douglass, an ex-slave? And why would James McCune Smith, the most educated black man in the country, link arms with John Brown, a bankrupt entrepreneur, along with the others? Distinguished by their interracial bonds, they shared a millennialist vision of a new world where everyone was free and equal. As the nation headed toward armed conflict, these men waged their own war by establishing model interracial communities, forming a new political party, and embracing violence. Their revolutionary ethos bridged the divide between the sacred and the profane, black and white, masculine and feminine, and civilization and savagery that had long girded western culture. In so doing, it embraced a malleable and "black-hearted" self that was capable of violent revolt against a slaveholding nation, in order to usher in a kingdom of God on earth. In tracing the rise and fall of their prophetic vision and alliance, Stauffer reveals how radical reform helped propel the nation toward war even as it strove to vanquish slavery and preserve the peace.

This six volumes edition covers the women's suffrage movement from 1848 to 1922. Originally envisioned as a modest publication that would take only four months to write, it evolved into a work of more than 5700 pages written over a period of 41 years and was completed in 1922, long after the deaths of its visionary authors and editors, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B.

As a sole owner, she published the books herself and donated many copies to libraries and people of influence.
