This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALPHEUS HARLAN'S CLASSIC TOME "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family in America" is not only a must-have keepsake for everybody with the last name or maiden-name of "Harlan," but is also an invaluable historical guide and documentation tool for ANYONE interested in genealogical research in North America. Hundreds of other surnames are listed and referenced in early Colonial America. This is an exact reprint of the original history, (Vol. 2 being the second half), begun in the Year of Our Lord 1625 - just 14 years after the first printing of the King James Bible - and retains all the archaic spelling and pronunciation of the Elizabethan English of the day. It documents in detail the three Harland Brothers who arrived in the New World with their fellow Puritan Pilgrims in a ship that set sail from England a few years after the Mayflower, landing in Delaware; how the famous Mason-Dixon Line is anchored on the Harlan Farm there; how their family helped establish Friends Meetinghouses across Pennsylvania; how they established Harlan County, Kentucky, and Harlan County, Nebraska, and dozens of other Harlan towns and sites across the Wild West; how their family was torn apart during the Civil War, fighting for both the U.S. Army and the Confederate Army - two Harlan soldiers from the North, and two from the South, all killed together at the Battle of Bull Run; how Harlan Quakers ran key Safe Houses for the Underground Railroad that Harriet Tubman's escapees stayed in; how the daughter of U.S. Senator James Harlan married the son of President Abraham Lincoln; why there are two U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshal Harlans; why there is an African American branch of the Harlan Family, and a Latin American branch, and a Native American branch (with Harlan cousins still living on the Omaha Indian Tribe Reservation), a British branch, and an Irish branch of the family - who built the most famous ship in the world, the Titanic! There was a Congressman Harlan, a Judge Harlan, a General Harlan, and a Major Harlan of the U.S. Army back in the Cowboy Days who was Court Martialed for being a horse thief! And of course the sweet young lady Harlan for whom the song "O Home on the Range" was written. All this and much more! VOLUME 2 (From Senator James Harlan to 20th Century) is edited by Reverend T.L. Harlan in a limited reprint for A Family of Friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of an American hero who stood against all the forces of Gilded Age America to help enshrine our civil rights and economic freedoms. Dissent. No one wielded this power more aggressively than John Marshall Harlan, a young union veteran from Kentucky who served on the US Supreme Court from the end of the Civil War through the Gilded Age. In the long test of time, this lone dissenter was proven right in case after case. They say history is written by the victors, but that is not Harlan's legacy: his views--not those of his fellow justices--ulitmately ended segregation and helped give us our civil rights and our economic freedoms. Derided by many as a loner and loser, he ended up being acclaimed as the nation's most courageous jurist, a man who saw the truth and justice that eluded his contemporaries. "Our Constitution is color blind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens," he wrote in his famous dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, one of many cases in which he lambasted his colleagues for denying the rights of African Americans. When the court struck down antitrust laws, Harlan called out the majority for favoring its own economic class. He did the same when the justices robbed states of their power to regulate the hours of workers and shielded the rich from the income tax. When other justices said the court was powerless to prevent racial violence, he took matters into his own hands: he made sure the Chattanooga officials who enabled a shocking lynching on a bridge over the Tennessee River were brought to justice. In this monumental biography, prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Peter S. Canellos chronicles the often tortuous and inspiring process through which Supreme Courts can make and remake the law across generations. But he also shows how the courage and outlook of one man can make all the difference. Why did Harlan see things differently? Because his life was different, He grew up alongside Robert Harlan, whom many believed to be his half brother. Born enslaved, Robert Harlan bought his freedom and became a horseracing pioneer and a force in the Republican Party. It was Robert who helped put John on the Supreme Court. At a time when many justices journey from the classroom to the bench with few stops in real life, the career of John Marshall Harlan is an illustration of the importance of personal experience in the law. And Harlan's story is also a testament to the vital necessity of dissent--and of how a flame lit in one era can light the world in another. --

Book excerpt: “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
