    von Harry M. Ward

    A kind of sub-society existed in Richmond, as in other urban areas, of tricksters, swindlers, confidence men and certain thieves. By looking at the lower sort of deception and crime, one can gauge a fringe society. The indefatigable crime reporters of Richmond's newspapers, always with a bit of humour or pathos, give glimpses of a wide variety of misbehavior.

  • - Banditti of the American Revolution
    von Harry M. Ward
    92,00 €

    The revolutionary war was not a "polite" conflict between orderly troops and gentlemanly officers. Civilians on the home front suffered considerably. This account depicts the ugly side of the War for Independence, where roving bands of robbers, known as banditti, plagued the countryside.

  • - Twenty-Eight Revolutionary War Soldiers from the Old Dominion
    von Harry M. Ward
    50,00 €

    The phrase "American Revolutionary War Hero" usually brings to mind George Washington, John Paul Jones and other famous officers. Heroes, however, existed throughout the ranks during the Revolution, and many made their marks without ever receiving proper recognition. These portraits of 28 Virginia Revolutionary soldiers expand the historical record of those who can be called a "hero." Whether as infantryman, cavalryman, marine, militiaman, spy, frontier fighter or staffer, all performed with distinction that contributed to victory. A strongman who performed superhuman feats during battle; a woman who fought as a soldier; a militiaman who sounded a fateful alarm--some gave their lives, others were terribly wounded, but all demonstrated heroism beyond the call of duty.

    von Harry M. Ward

    One of the biggest stains in Richmond's past was the spectacle of public executions. Thousands, including the old and the very young, reveled in a carnival-like atmosphere. This narrates the history of the executions that formed a large part of Richmond's entertainment picture. The history has a cast of unusual characters - the condemned, the crime victims, family members, the executioners, and not least an 182 pound 'gallows' dog.
