The Lost Photographs of Deejay Tommy Edwards
Christopher Kennedy
Foreword by Terry Stewart
A remarkable collection of photographs by one of rock’s early
champions
Between 1955 and 1960, popular Cleveland deejay Tommy Edwards photographed the parade of performers who passed through the WERE-AM
radio studio for on-air interviews, shooting more than 1,700 Ektachrome
slides. Following his death in 1981, most of the collection vanished and was
presumed lost. The few images that remained were often reprinted and
rarely credited to Edwards, labeled “photographer unknown.” Until now.
Discovered by musician Chris Kennedy in 2006, Tommy Edwards’s
candid photographs capture the birth of rock ’n’ roll at its flashpoint: Elvis
Presley while he was still dangerous; a raw and incomplete Chuck Berry
before his star ascended; and some beady-eyed, high-voiced kid named
Roy Orbison. It wasn’t just the architects of rock music whom Edwards had
in his viewfinder. There were also pop and country music’s biggest stars,
mysterious, unknown hopefuls, and vulnerable, deglamourized Hollywood
celebrities. Edwards’s passion for photography immortalized hundreds of
pioneers of rock ’n’ roll and pop culture in the radio studio, a setting that
was often unseen. His photos offer a rare look behind a closed door.
In 2009, Kennedy located the only surviving copy of the “T.E. Newsletter” collection, Tommy Edwards’s self-published weekly two-page
recap of Cleveland radio and record news for music business insiders,
spanning from 1953 through 1960. The wealth of information and dates
contained in the newsletters are the photo collection’s indispensable companion piece, and Edwards’s anecdotal quips are interspersed throughout
the text of the book.
1950s Radio in Color gives Tommy Edwards his due recognition as
the deejay responsible for perhaps the most important photographic
and written documentation of twentieth-century music ever produced.
Featuring over 200 color photographs, this book will transport readers
back in time, allowing them to step into Edwards’s shoes for a moment
and to feel the wonder and excitement he must have felt every day while
witnessing a cultural revolution.

Mike Olszewski and Richard Berg with Carlo Wolff
The story of one of Cleveland’s most popular and influential radio
stations
Before FM radio and the commanding album rock stations of the 1970s,
there was WIXY 1260, a tiny Northeast Ohio AM radio station that
became an entertainment powerhouse. Three visionaries assembled a
legendary staff of on-air personalities and, with savvy programming and
groundbreaking promotions, created WIXY 1260—a station that would
become synonymous with 1960s pop culture. A Midwest juggernaut,
WIXY aired everything from surf and Motown to country and the British
Invasion. Crossing cultural and generational lines in one of the hottest
radio markets in the country, it regularly took in more than fifty percent
of the Greater Cleveland audience.
Bob Weiss, Norman Wain, and Joe Zingale knew the kind of radio
Cleveland wanted to hear. They also knew how to market that sound to
make it a lifestyle. They bought a small station with a weak signal and
renamed it WIXY, and it wasn’t long before their competition fell by the
wayside. Mike Olszewski and Richard Berg spin a lively tale of popular
culture that will appeal to everyone from baby boomers to media scholars and cultural historians.
Mike Olszewski is a veteran radio and television personality, historian,
and educator. He is best known for his work at WMMS-FM and has written several books concerning the history of Northeast Ohio broadcasting. Along with many regional and national broadcasting awards, Mike
won a 2009 Emmy for his TV documentary Radio Daze: Cleveland’s FM
Air Wars. Along with his broadcasting career, he also teaches media and
communication courses at Kent State University, Notre Dame College,
and the University of Akron. Mike and his wife, Janice, live in Aurora,
Ohio. Richard Berg is a longtime media historian and is recognized as
one of the leading authorities on Northeast Ohio radio. Richard’s firsthand knowledge comes from close relationships he has established with
some of the biggest names in the industry. He’s currently working on
extensive projects concerning the history of Akron radio and Cleveland’s
KYW/WKYC-AM. Carlo Wolff, a journalist and pop culture historian
living in South Euclid, Ohio, is the author of Cleveland Rock & Roll
Memories: True and Tall Tales of the Glory Days, Told by Musicians, DJs,
Promoters, and Fans Who Made the Scene in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.

Animals of Ohio’s Ponds and
Vernal pools
David S. FitzSimmons
Photographs by Gary Meszaros
A fascinating and beautiful guide to Ohio’s extraordinary wetland wildlife
The Buckeye State’s many ponds and vernal pools are populated by a dizzying variety of wildlife. Animals of Ohio’s
Ponds and Vernal Pools takes a close-up look at unique
wetlands—from fascinating fish and amphibians to intriguing insects and birds—and examines pond and vernal pool
ecology, Ohio’s geologic history influencing wetland formation, and hydrology and energy cycles.
In prose that enlightens and entertains, author David S.
FitzSimmons uncovers both the rare and common life-forms
found in and around Ohio’s ponds and vernal pools. First he
discusses the Buckeye State’s variety of small lakes, covering
everything from managed farm ponds to glacially formed
basins. He then turns to vernal pools, temporary waters that
fill in the late winter or spring and dry up in the summer. He
describes specialized amphibian breeding habitats including a vivid account of rainy spring nights when hundreds
of mole salamanders slip into the filling waters while equal
numbers of wood frogs “clack” loudly in the dark. Accompanying these scientifically accurate and poetic descriptions are
Gary Meszaros’s extraordinary photographs, including closeups of multicolored dragonflies, underwater shots of fish, beautiful images
of birds, and idyllic vistas of Ohio’s serene ponds and secluded pools.
Animals of Ohio’s Ponds and Vernal Pools is a wonderful resource
about wetlands and wildlife that will inspire readers to learn about and
protect their own natural environments.
David S. FitzSimmons is a professor of English at Ashland University
in Ohio. A freelance writer and photographer, his work has appeared in
Ohio Magazine, Natural Ohio, Popular Photography & Imaging, Shutterbug, and other magazines, as well as in numerous newspapers and online
publications. Gary Meszaros, a retired schoolteacher, has been a dedicated nature photographer for more than twenty-five years. His photographs
have appeared in many publications, including Smithsonian, National
Wildlife, National Parks Magazine, Natural History, and Timeline.

How a gay newspaper columnist dominated a city’s nightlife from
the 1930s to the 1960s

Winsor French was a journalist with a singular voice. A self-described
“effeminate young man,” French occupied desks in city rooms drenched
with masculinity, enduring his colleagues’ homophobia and risking the
loss of his job by defending unconventional behavior. He ignored newspaper taboos by publishing the price of bootlegged liquor during Prohibition and by writing stories about “sepia” entertainers, Jewish socialites,
schoolchildren in wheelchairs, and men who found males more exciting
than females.
French’s reports of urban nightlife appeared in Parade, a magazine
he founded and edited, as well as in two Cleveland newspapers, the
News and the Press. His most illuminating observations were items in
an about-town column, a metropolitan newspaper format begun in the
1920s to publicize the local affairs of café society. French’s wanderlust,
however, led him to extend his geographical boundaries from downtown
Cleveland to the “smoke and music” haunts of Havana, Hollywood,
Manhattan, Paris, London, and Pago Pago. His sources were crooners,
deckhands, fan dancers, hoboes, gangsters, millionaires, redcaps, torch
singers, and several of the twentieth century’s most celebrated stage,
film, and literary artists, including Noël Coward, Marlene Dietrich, Cary
Grant, Somerset Maugham, and Cole Porter.
The four decades of French’s professional career are often described
as an era that forced homosexuals to be sexually vague and anonymous,
especially if they aspired to prominence in their local community. But
French’s life and career contradicted that assumption. He never hid his
sexuality yet achieved journalistic leadership and unchallenged influence
over Cleveland’s social life. Richly illustrated with contemporary news
photographs and editorial drawings, Out and About with Winsor French
documents the powerful role played by about-town columnists during a
raucous episode in the history of American newspapers.
James M. Wood is an award-winning journalist, former about-town
columnist for Cleveland Magazine, and author of four books on Cleveland social history: Halle’s: Memoirs of a Family Department Store, One
Hundred Twenty-Five, Helen’s Twentieth Century, and The Tavern.

queen victoria’s stalker
The Strange Case of the Boy Jones
Jan Bondeson
The unusual tale of one of history’s earliest celebrity stalkers
Following her coronation in 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was a very
frightened young woman. She was being relentlessly pursued by a
strange teenager, Edward “the Boy” Jones, who had an uncanny ability to
sneak into Buckingham Palace without being detected. Once, he entered
her bedroom and stole her underwear, and twice he sat on the throne.
“If he had come into my bedroom, how frightened I would have been,”
the Queen wrote in her journal after the Boy Jones had been hauled out
from underneath a sofa in her dressing room.
As a result of his multiple intrusions into Buckingham Palace, the Boy
Jones became a media celebrity. His exploits were the subject of popular
verse, songs, and prints and lewd newspaper speculation about what
he had really seen in the young Queen’s dressing room. Fearful that he
might injure or even assassinate the Queen, or kidnap the Princess Royal,
the government of Prime Minister Lord Melbourne wanted to get rid of
the Boy Jones at all costs.
But “simple trespass,” even into Buckingham Palace itself, was not a
criminal offense. However, the government was so fearful of what tales
the Boy Jones might tell about the various intimate details he had seen
when spying in the Queen’s private rooms that Jones was twice tried in
camera and sentenced to three months in prison by the Privy Council.
He remains the last person to have been given this dubious honor.
Since the Boy Jones kept stalking the Queen, Lord Melbourne’s government took the extreme step of kidnapping him on board a ship bound
for Brazil. When he returned, he was again kidnapped by government
agents and forced to serve as a sailor in the Royal Navy for more than
five years without charge or trial.
Queen Victoria’s Stalker is the first full-length account of the Boy
Jones’s persistent stalking of Queen Victoria and the journalism and
literature inspired by his intrusions. By comparing this case to other
instances of celebrity stalking and discussing various theories of stalking
mentality, Jan Bondeson offers a fresh analysis of this unique and unclassifiable case.
Jan Bondeson is the author of several critically acclaimed books, includ-
ing Cabinet of Medical Curiosities, The Feejee Mermaid, The Two-Headed
Boy, The London Monster, The Great Pretenders, and the best-selling
Buried Alive. He teaches at Cardiff University, Wales.
“An enlightening study of the
phenomenon of celebrity stalking.”

“Hollock’s total command of his

the character of his narrative from
a documentary-like recounting of
the events to a gripping evocation
of suspense worthy of a first-rate
novel.”
—from the Foreword

Stanley Barton Hoss was a burglar, thief, and local thug from the Pittsburgh area. In eight short months in 1969, however, he became a rapist,
prison escapee, murderer, and kidnapper; the subject of an intense
nationwide manhunt; and one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted.
In Born to Lose, author James G. Hollock traces Hoss from his earliest
misdemeanors at the age of fourteen to a daring rooftop escape from the
Allegheny Workhouse in Blawnox, Pennsylvania, where he was being
held on a rape charge, to his killing of police officer Joseph Zanella in
Oakmont, Pennsylvania, to his kidnapping near Cumberland, Maryland,
and ultimate murder of Linda Peugeot and her two-year-old daughter
Lori in the autumn of 1969. Their bodies have never been found.
Although indicted for the Peugeot kidnappings, these charges were
later dropped because it was determined his constitutional right to a
speedy trial was denied. Hoss was, however, convicted of the murder of
Officer Zanella and initially sentenced to death, and that sentence was
subsequently commuted to life in prison. But his killings didn’t end there.
In December 1973, while incarcerated at Western Penitentiary, Hoss conspired with two fellow white inmates in the savage murder of the popular
and well-respected corrections officer Lieutenant Walter Peterson, one of
the first African Americans hired by the Pennsylvania prison system. As
a result of this final homicide, Hoss was transferred to an isolation facility
in Philadelphia where in 1978 he hanged himself.
By consulting previously sealed state and federal archives and interviewing sixty individuals who witnessed or had significant knowledge of
Hoss’s series of felonies, James G. Hollock vividly re-creates the crimes,
police dispatches, and court proceedings in this gripping narrative. He
poignantly characterizes the players involved, especially those who suffered either directly or indirectly at the hands of Stanley B. Hoss.
James G. Hollock has 30 years of experience with the Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections, primarily at Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh. James Jessen Badal is the author of In the Wake of the Butcher:
Cleveland’s Torso Murders, Twilight of Innocence: The Disappearance of
Beverly Potts, and Though Murder Has No Tongue: The Lost Victim of
Cleveland’s Mad Butcher, all published by The Kent State University Press.
murder and martial justice
Spying and Retribution in World War II America
Meredith Lentz Adams
A remarkable story of how the U.S. military tortured German
POWs into confessing their guilt
During World War II, the United States maintained two secret interrogation camps in violation of the Geneva Convention—one just south
of Washington, D.C., and the other near San Francisco. German POWs
who passed through these camps briefed their fellow prisoners, warning
them of turncoats who were helping the enemy—the United States—
pry secrets from them. One of these turncoats, Werner Drechsler, was
betrayed and murdered by those he spied on.
U.S. military authorities reacted harshly to Drechsler’s death, even
though he was not the first captive to be assassinated by his fellow POWs.
How had military intelligence been compromised? Were fanatical Nazis
terrorizing their countrymen on American soil? Would Hitler take
reprisals against the GIs he held if the United States did not protect the
German POWs from violence and death while confined at the interrogation camps? At one of the secret camps, U.S. officials forced Drechsler’s
seven murderers to confess. The next problem faced by authorities was
how to court-martial them when their confessions were legally invalid.
Their secret trial was stage-managed to deliver death sentences while
apparently complying with U.S. and international law.
This presented U.S. authorities with further problems. The Geneva
Convention entitled the prisoners’ governments to the full facts about
their crimes, trials, and sentencing. Despite escalating German complaints, the War Department adopted a policy of giving as little information as possible about any of the several POW murder trials in order to
avoid releasing inconvenient facts about the Drechsler case. Unsurprisingly, the Reich began sentencing GIs to death. Gambling with American
lives, the War Department stalled every German attempt to trade these
men for the convicted German murderers until the war ended. Every
American was saved; every German but one was hanged.
The Drechsler case foreshadows current controversies: creative
circumvention of the Geneva Convention, secret interrogation centers,
torture, and the consequent problem of how to provide a fair trial to
prisoners coerced into self-incrimination. Author Meredith Lentz Adams
sees a familiar pattern of cover-ups, leading to difficulties with public and
international relations. In contrast to recent policies, she points out how
leaders during World War II felt constrained by their respect for Geneva
and by fear of retribution against their own soldiers.
Murder and Martial Justice is a fascinating and provocative book that
will appeal to those with an interest in World War II, POWs, international law, foreign policy, and true crime history.

Edited by Jonathan Goodman
With a new Preface by Albert Borowitz
Edited by Jonathan Goodman
With a new Preface by Albert Borowitz
A seasonal gift for connoisseurs of true crime
Sure to capture the imagination of devotees of
true crime and the occult
Here are ten murder cases of “the old-fashioned
sort”—evoking a nostalgia more obviously associated with fiction—that all took place during the
festive period from mid-December to Twelfth Night
between 1811 and 1933. The settings of these grisly
tales range from the Knickerbocker Athletic Club
in New York (where a gentleman named Molineux
provided a drastic cure for hangovers by putting
cyanide in a gift-wrapped bottle of Bromo Seltzer) to
an apartment in Glasgow (home of a wealthy Scotswoman whose demise seemed to have been satisfactorily explained by local constables, until Arthur
Conan Doyle assumed the role of Sherlock Holmes)
and from a builder’s workshop in North London (site
of a murder committed by a man called Furnace, who
suited his criminal action to his name) to the elegant
dwelling of a ménage à trois near the Thames (scene
of a puzzling poisoning that, years later, Raymond
Chandler tried, unofficially, to solve).
In The Christmas Murders, Jonathan Goodman
has collected stories as fascinating and compulsively
readable as one would expect from a writer described
by Jacques Barzun as “the
greatest living master of
true-crime literature” and by
Julian Symons as “the premier
investigator of crimes past.”

Jonathan Goodman, considered to have been Britain’s leading crime historian, died in January 2008.
After service in the RAF, he began his career in the theater, working first as a stage manager and then as a
producer. While with the theater in Liverpool, Goodman, who had already written a crime novel and the
entertaining Bloody Versicles (reprinted in the United States by The Kent State University Press, 1993), an
anthology of rhymes in crime, researched the celebrated case of William Wallace, who was convicted in
1931 of the murder of his wife Julia. The Killing of Julia Wallace (1969) was a great success, and Goodman’s
career took off. The Kent State University Press has published Goodman’s The Passing of Starr Faithfull
(1996), Tracks to Murder (2005), and Murder on Several Occasions (2007).

the collected stories of ray
bradbury: a critical edition
Volume 1, 1938–1943
Edited by William F. Touponce and Jonathan R. Eller
William F. Touponce, General Editor
Inaugurating a critical edition of one of America’s most popular
storytellers
In the past, collections of Bradbury’s works have juxtaposed stories with
no indication as to the different time periods in which they were written.
Even the mid- and late-career collections that Bradbury himself compiled contained stories that were written much earlier—a situation that
has given rise to misconceptions about the origins of the stories themselves. In this new edition, editors William F. Touponce and Jonathan R.
Eller present for the first time the stories of Ray Bradbury in the order in
which they were written. Moreover, they use texts that reflect Bradbury’s
earliest settled intention for each tale. By examining his relationships
with his agent, editor, and publisher, Touponce and Eller’s textual commentaries document the transformation of the stories—and Bradbury’s
creative understanding of genre fiction—from their original forms to the
versions known and loved today.
Volume 1 covers the years 1938 to 1943 and contains thirteen stories
that have never appeared in a Bradbury collection. For those that were
previously published, the original serial forms recovered in this volume
differ in significant ways from the versions that Bradbury popularized
over the ensuing years. By documenting the ways the stories evolved
over time, Touponce and Eller unveil significant new information about
Bradbury’s development as a master of short fiction.
Each volume in the proposed three-volume edition includes a general
introduction, chronology, summary of unpublished stories, textual
commentary for each story, textual apparatus, and chronological catalog.
The Collected Stories of Ray Bradbury is edited to the highest scholarly
standards by the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies and bears the Modern
Language Association’s seal of approval for scholarly editions.
General editor William F. Touponce is professor of English and adjunct
professor of American studies at the Institute for American Thought at
Indiana University–Purdue University, Indianapolis. He is the coauthor,
with Jonathan R. Eller, of Ray Bradbury: The Life of Fiction (The Kent
State University Press, 2004) and editor of The New Ray Bradbury Review,
an annual review of the life and works of Ray Bradbury published by The
Kent State University Press. Jonathan R. Eller is professor of English and
senior textual editor for the Institute for American Thought. He is the
cofounder of the Institute’s Center for Ray Bradbury Studies and is textual editor for the Writings of Charles S. Peirce and The Works of George
Santayana. He is also the coauthor, with William F. Touponce, of Ray

volumes of Bradbury’s fiction. Becoming Ray Bradbury, his extensive

“Beyond Ernest Hemingway, Ray
Bradbury has influenced more writers
than anyone else in the twentieth
century. Practically everyone has read
and loved his remarkable works.”
—William F. Nolan, coauthor of
Logan’s Run
“Ray Bradbury’s work makes the spirit
sing . . . an undeniable medicine for
melancholy which anyone who is ‘in’
on its magical properties has been
self-administering since they first
encountered it, be that exposure to a
novel or one of the hundreds of short
stories with which he has justifiably
made his reputation. Truly, those who
have grown tired of Ray Bradbury’s
gentle eloquence—by turns chilling
and uplifting—have grown tired
of the lyricism of language and the
wonder of words.”
—Peter Crowther, Editor,
PostScripts (UK)
“The early stories of Ray Bradbury
are among my very favorites. Highly
colored—frightening and exalting at
once—these stories helped launch
the young Ray Bradbury, over the
next ten years, into international
stardom.”
—Greg Bear, Hugo and Nebula
Award–winning author of
Blood Music and The Forge of God
“Ray Bradbury occupies a place all his
own in the history of the fantastic, in
his approach to life itself—passionate, vital, endlessly involved. All that
can be felt in these early stories, an
engagement with life and a promise
of things to come from a writer whose
life is as much a creation as the fiction
itself.” —James Gunn, Damon Knight

The son of an Irish ditch-digger, Jim Tully (1886–1947) left his hometown
of St. Marys, Ohio, in 1901, spending most of his teenage years in the
company of hoboes. Drifting across the country as a “road kid,” he spent
those years scrambling into boxcars, sleeping in hobo jungles, avoiding railroad cops, begging meals from back doors, and haunting public
libraries. After six years on the road, he jumped off a railroad car in Kent,
Ohio, with wild aspirations of becoming a writer. While chasing his
dream, Tully worked as a chain maker, boxer, newspaper reporter, and
tree surgeon. All the while he was crafting his memories of the road into
a dark and astonishing chronicle of the American underclass.
After moving to Hollywood and working for Charlie Chaplin, Tully
began to write a stream of critically acclaimed books mostly about his
road years, including Beggars of Life, Circus Parade, Blood on the Moon,
Shadows of Men, and Shanty Irish. He quickly established himself as a
major American author and used his status to launch a parallel career as
a Hollywood journalist. Much as his gritty books shocked the country,
his magazine articles on movies shocked Hollywood. Along the way,
he picked up such close friends as W. C. Fields, Jack Dempsey, Damon
Runyon, Lon Chaney, Frank Capra, and Erich von Stroheim. He also
memorably crossed paths with Jack London, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George
Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, and Langston Hughes.
Sure to be the definitive biography for decades to come, Jim Tully:
American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler compellingly describes
the hardscrabble life of an Irish American storyteller, from his immigrant
roots, rural upbringing, and life as a hobo riding the rails to the emergent
dream factory of early and Golden Age Hollywood and the fall of his
fortunes during the Great Depression.
Many saw the dark side of the American dream, but none wrote about
it like Jim Tully.

“feel the bonds that draw”
Images of the Civil War at the Western Reserve
Historical Society
Christine Dee
A Civil War sesquicentennial volume featuring the collection of
one of the nation’s leading historical societies
For a century and a half, images of the Civil
War have allowed millions of Americans to
experience, commemorate, and reinterpret the conflict. Photographs, engravings,
lithographs, and original artwork have
revealed heroic volunteers, mobilized regiments, battle preparations, and the war’s
grim aftermath.
“Feel the Bonds That Draw” presents
nearly 200 images from the extensive Civil
War photographic collections of Cleveland’s Western Reserve Historical Society,
complementing author Christine Dee’s
reflections on topics such as historical
memory, the war as economic engine, and
the impact of mobilization and combat on
civilians and the environment.
Included in the volume are stirring
images by Mathew Brady, preeminent Civil War photographer, and by
Henry Moore, who documented military fortifications and soldiers, particularly at Fort Pulaski on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia.
Moore photographed troops in traditional poses and groupings, and he
captured the likenesses of formerly enslaved African Americans. These
latter pictures played an important role in shaping public opinion in the
North in support of emancipation.
“Feel the Bonds That Draw” is a fine addition to the library of anyone
interested in the history of America’s cruelest conflict.

The Battle of Antietam, fought in Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17,
1862, was the bloodiest single day of the Civil War, with 23,000 casualties
on both sides. While the battle was tactically inconclusive, it resulted in
two significant milestones. First, because Robert E. Lee failed to carry
the war successfully into the North, Great Britain was dissuaded from
recognizing the Confederate States of America diplomatically. Second,
the battle gave President Abraham Lincoln the confidence to issue the
Emancipation Proclamation.
After the battle, two photographers sent by Mathew Brady—
Alexander Gardner and James Gibson—recorded the horror of war with
the first-ever images of dead American soldiers. Gardner’s and Gibson’s
legendary photos have been the subject of debate for decades. The lack of
information about locations, dates, and times in the thousands of photographs taken during the war has limited any thorough understanding of
the photographers’ work and led to much speculation.
In Shadows of Antietam, Robert J. Kalasky has painstakingly re-created
Gardner’s and Gibson’s output, retracing their footsteps by location, date,
and time to chronologically and sequentially place their images. With
the help of reenactors and black-and-white photography, Kalasky has
assembled a comprehensive study, based on sunlight and shadow, of the
74 known glass plates recorded by Gardner and Gibson at Antietam. Civil
War photography historians and buffs will appreciate this groundbreaking research for correcting previous errors and misjudgments made
about the photographers’ trek across the battlefield and for answering
150-year-old questions about their photographs.
Robert J. Kalasky attended Kent State University and graduated from
the Northeast Ohio School of Massotherapy. He is currently a practicing
massotherapist and is a lifelong resident of Youngstown, Ohio.

“they have left us here to die”
The Civil War Prison Diary of Sgt. Lyle G. Adair, 111th U.S.
Colored Infantry
Edited by Glenn Robins
The chronicle of a Union soldier’s seven months in captivity
Besides the risks of death or wounding in combat, the average Civil War
soldier faced the constant threat of being captured by the enemy. It is
estimated that one out of every seven soldiers was taken captive—more
than 194,000 of them from Union regiments—and held in prison camps
infamous for breeding disease and death.
Sgt. Lyle G. Adair of the 111th United States Colored Troops joined
the thousands of Union prisoners when part of his regiment tasked
with guarding the rail lines between Tennessee and northern Alabama
was captured by Confederate cavalrymen. Adair, who had first enlisted
in the 81st Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the age of seventeen and later
became a recruiting agent in the 111th, spent the remainder of the war
being shuffled from camp to camp as a prisoner of war. By the war’s end,
he had been incarcerated in five different Confederate camps: Cahaba,
Camp Lawton, Blackshear, Thomasville, and Andersonville.
“They Have Left Us Here to Die” is an edited and annotated version
of the diary Sergeant Adair kept of his seven months as a prisoner of
war. The diary provides vivid descriptions of each of the five camps as
well as insightful observations about the culture of captivity. Adair notes
with disdain the decision of some Union prisoners to take the oath of
allegiance to the Confederacy in exchange for their freedom and covers
the mock presidential election of 1864 held at Camp Lawton, where he
and his fellow inmates were forced to cast votes for either Lincoln or
McClellan. But most significantly, Adair reflects on the breakdown of the
prisoner exchange system between the North and South, especially the
roles played by the Lincoln administration and the Northern home front.
As a white soldier serving with African Americans, Adair also makes
revealing observations about the influence of race on the experience of
captivity.
Complete with numerous annotations comparing Adair’s accounts
with other diaries, memoirs, and official reports, “They Have Left Us Here
to Die” provides a platform for delving deeper into the culture of captivity
and the Civil War soldier experience.

The Story of a Thousand
Albion W. Tourgée

Forgotten Civil War testimony from a major American writer

biblio., index
This facsimile edition of Albion W. Tourgée’s regimental history of the
105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry was first published in 1896. Tourgée, a
lawyer and outspoken abolitionist from Williamsfield, Ohio, is best
known for his semi-fictional novels about the reconstruction of the
South following the Civil War, A Fool’s Errand and Bricks Without Straw.
Both critically acclaimed best sellers, the novels catapulted Tourgée and
his relentless efforts to secure equality for African Americans into the
national spotlight.
The Story of a Thousand also received a warm reception upon its
publication, although it never achieved the level of recognition of his other
works. Written at the behest of his former comrades in the 105th Ohio, The
Story of a Thousand draws on Tourgée’s own wartime papers, as well as
diaries, letters, and recollections of other veterans, to detail the remarkable
story of the regiment during its campaigns
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Sherman’s March to the Sea. Tourgée concentrates
on the lives and experiences of the enlisted
soldiers, describing the backgrounds of the
men and how they rallied around the Union
flag as citizen soldiers and also on discussions
about the role of slavery as the impetus of
the war. Tourgée’s concern for the common
soldier prefigures the scholarship of twentiethcentury historians, such as Bell Irvin Wiley,
who devoted attention to the men in the ranks
rather than the generals and politicians in
charge.
Historian Peter Luebke revives Albion W.
Tourgée’s lost testimony of the war in this
new edition of The Story of a Thousand. He
includes an index and a scholarly introduction
that draws on extensive research to describe
the writing, production, and reception of
the book. Luebke also places the work in the
context of recent Civil War scholarship. The
inclusion of famed illustrator Frederic Remington’s engravings, which
accompanied the book’s serialization in The Cosmopolitan magazine in
1894 and 1895, also enhances the text.
Scholars, students, and enthusiasts of the Civil War and Ohio history
are sure to enjoy this military account by one of Reconstruction’s harshest and most articulate critics.
Peter Luebke received a B.A. from the College of William & Mary and
an M.A. in history from the University of Virginia. He studies the American Civil War, with a focus on Northern soldiers.

Army Raiders
The Special Activities Group in Korea
Richard L. Kiper
Examines the role of American special operations during the
Korean War
Despite being an elite combat unit and
participating in highly classified and
dangerous missions in Korea, members of the Far East Command Raider
Company and its parent organization,
the Special Activities Group, have
received little attention from historians. Typically relegated to a paragraph
at most, but more often a footnote,
the Raider story usually begins and
ends on the night of September 12,
1950, with a raid near Kunsan. From
then until being inactivated on March
31, 1951, the Special Activities Group
simply disappears from Korean War
histories. Army Raiders corrects this
omission.
Primarily the history of one company and its headquarters, Army Raiders tells the story of ordinary human
beings who carried out extraordinary
missions. Boarding rubber boats in the Yellow Sea and paddling far
behind enemy lines, they landed at Inchon, sailed to the Wonsan area of
North Korea, and conducted counter-guerrilla operations until overwhelming Chinese intervention forced all Allied units to withdraw from
the North. Those critical missions continued into the difficult fighting of
early 1951.
Much of Army Raiders is based on the words of the participants themselves. Using little-known primary sources, oral histories, and official
records, author Richard L. Kiper tells this unit’s riveting tale. Where
possible, first-person accounts have been verified and supplemented with
official reports, maps, and documents. In reconciling personal memories
and official reports, Army Raiders fills a gap in the historiography of the
Korean War.

The Forgotten Weapons of Oceania and the Americas
Robert York and Gigi York
A fascinating examination of an overlooked weapon
For most of us, our knowledge of slings and slingstones begins and ends
with the biblical tale of David slaying Goliath. Scholars and archaeologists have told us that slings like the one David employed were common
in the Old World, used not just for shepherd boys to kill giants but for
protecting herds, hunting, and combat. However, few scholars have
addressed the function slings have occupied outside of Eurasian civilizations, especially their use in Oceania and the Americas.
In this astounding new archaeological survey, authors Robert York
and Gigi York examine the history of Oceania and the Americas to unveil
the significant role slings and slingstones played in developing societies.
They present new evidence that suggests that unlike David who plucked
rounded pebbles from a stream, inhabitants of the Pacific Islands deliberately fashioned sling missiles out of coral, stone, and clay into uniquely
deadly shapes. They also show that the use of slings in the Americas was
more pervasive and inclined to variability than previously recognized.
Well documented, bountifully illustrated, and thoroughly researched,
Slings and Slingstones is sure to engage readers interested in expanding
their knowledge of the past. It is an essential
reference for archaeologists, historians, and
students of the history of arms and weaponry.
Robert York and Gigi York are fellows of the
University of Wyoming’s Frison Institute of
Archaeology and Anthropology in Laramie. They
also hold research associate appointments at the Nevada
State Museum in Carson City and at the Commonwealth of

Green Suns and Faërie
Essays on J. R. R. Tolkien
Verlyn Flieger
A major contribution to the growing body of Tolkien scholarship
With the release of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the
Rings movie trilogy and forthcoming film version of
The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien’s popularity has never been
higher. In Green Suns and Faërie, author Verlyn Flieger,
one of world’s foremost Tolkien scholars, presents
a selection of her best articles—some never before
published—on a range of Tolkien topics.
The essays are divided into three distinct sections.
The first explores Tolkien’s ideas of sub-creation—the
making of a Secondary World and its relation to the
real world, the second looks at Tolkien’s reconfiguration of the medieval story tradition, and the third
places his work firmly within the context of the twentieth century and modernist literature. With discussions ranging from Tolkien’s concepts of the hero to
the much-misunderstood nature of Bilbo’s last riddle
in The Hobbit, Flieger reveals Tolkien as a man of both
medieval learning and modern sensibility—one who
is deeply engaged with the past and future, the regrets
and hopes, the triumphs and tragedies, and above all
the profound difficulties and dilemmas of his troubled
century.
Taken in their entirety, these essays track a major
scholar’s deepening understanding of the work of the
master of fantasy. Green Suns and Faërie is sure to
become a cornerstone of Tolkien scholarship.
Verlyn Flieger is professor of English at the University of Maryland
where she teaches courses on Tolkien, medieval and modern literature,
and comparative mythology. She has written three books on Tolkien:
Splintered Light, A Question of Time, and Interrupted Music (all published
by The Kent State University Press). She has also edited a critical edition
of Tolkien’s novella Smith of Wootton Major and an expanded edition

essay, “On Fairy-Stories.”

First book-length study of the novel that transformed Hemingway scholarship
When The Garden of Eden appeared in 1986, roughly twenty-five years
after Ernest Hemingway’s death, it was a watershed event that changed
readers’ and scholars’ perceptions of the famous American author. Following five months in the life of protagonist David Bourne, a rising
young writer of fiction, and his highly intelligent but artistically frustrated wife, Catherine, the novel is unique among Hemingway’s works.
Its exploration of gender roles and identities, unconventional sexual
practices, race, and artistic expression challenged the traditional notions
scholars and readers had of the iconic writer, and it sparked a debate that
has revolutionized Hemingway studies.
It was also the first of Hemingway’s posthumously published novels
to garner a storm of criticism regarding the editing of its text. Many
comparative studies have been done between the original manuscript,
which contains over 2,000 pages, and its heavily edited published version, which has little over 200 pages. Despite the whirlwind surrounding
The Garden of Eden, no book-length study of the novel has ever been
published—until now.
In Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden, editors Suzanne del Gizzo and
Frederic J. Svoboda have collected the best essays and reviews—pieces
that examine the novel’s themes, its composition and structure, and the
complex issue of editing a manuscript for posthumous publication—and
placed them in a single, cohesive volume. Among the included works
are E. L. Doctorow’s famous New York Times review “Braver Than We
Thought,” a new essay by Tom Jenks examining his editing process in
“Editing Hemingway: The Garden of Eden,” and Mark Spilka’s “Hemingway’s Barbershop Quintet: The Garden of Eden Manuscript,” a precursor
to his groundbreaking study of Hemingway’s concerns with sex and
gender roles, Hemingway’s Quarrel with Androgyny.
Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden is a must-read text for scholars,
students, and readers of Hemingway.
Suzanne del Gizzo is assistant professor of English at Chestnut Hill Col-
lege in Philadelphia. She received her Ph.D. in English literature from
Tulane University in 2003. Her articles and reviews on Hemingway have

HEMINGWAY, RACE, AND ART
Bloodlines and the Color Line
Marc Kevin Dudley
A social historical reading of Hemingway through the lens of race
William Faulkner has long been considered the great racial interrogator of the early-twentieth-century South. In Hemingway, Race, and Art,
author Marc Kevin Dudley suggests
that Ernest Hemingway not only
shared Faulkner’s racial concerns
but extended them beyond the
South to encompass the entire
nation. Though Hemingway wrote
extensively about Native Americans
and African Americans, always in
the back of his mind was Africa.
Dudley sees Hemingway’s fascination with, and eventual push toward,
the African continent as a grand
experiment meant to both placate
and comfort the white psyche, and
to challenge and unsettle it, too.
Twentieth-century white
America was plagued by guilt in
its dealings with Native Americans; simultaneously, it faced an
increasingly dissatisfied African American populace. Marc Kevin Dudley
demonstrates how Hemingway’s interest in race was closely aligned to
a national anxiety over a changing racial topography. Affected by his
American pedigree, his masculinity, and his whiteness, Hemingway’s
treatment of race is characteristically complex, at once both a perpetuation of type and a questioning of white self-identity.
Hemingway, Race, and Art expands our understanding of Hemingway
and his work and shows how race consciousness pervades the texts of
one of America’s most important and influential writers.

The Benét name immediately evokes Stephen Vincent and his older
brother William Rose, Pulitzer Prize–winning poets and novelists during the first half of the twentieth century. Less well remembered are the
remarkable women related to the Benét brothers, including Rosemary
Carr, Stephen’s wife; Laura, his sister; Elinor Wylie, William’s second
wife; and Kathleen Norris, the popular novelist who raised the children
of her brother-in-law William.
Darling Ro and the Benét Women presents a revealing glimpse of social
and literary life in New York and Paris during the 1920s. Using a recently
released collection of letters from the Benét Collection at Yale University,
author Evelyn Helmick Hively extracts captivating anecdotes and impressions about a talented group of writers and impressive feminist figures.
Written by Rosemary Carr Benét to her mother, Dr. Rachel Hickey Carr
(one of Chicago’s first women physicians), the compilation of letters and
short dispatches from Paris provides the focus of the book.
A gifted poet and journalist, Rosemary Carr was a prolific writer of
articles for the New York Herald-Tribune, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue; of
stories and poems for The New Yorker and other magazines; and hundreds of letters. She belonged to a remarkably skillful, social, and artistic
group of men and women who bonded early in life, and her letters paint
fascinating portraits of their lives, careers, and relationships.
Darling Ro and the Benét Women offers an insider’s perspective of a
well-known cosmopolitan American family.

Literature in Translation
Teaching Issues and Reading Practices
Edited by Carol Maier and Françoise Massardier-Kenney
New pedagogy for studying literature in translation
In the last several decades, literary works from around the world have
made their way onto the reading lists of American university and college
courses in an increasingly wide variety of disciplines. This is a cause for
rejoicing. Through works in translation, students in our mostly monolingual society are at last becoming acquainted with the multilingual and
multicultural world in which they will live and work. Many instructors
have expanded their reach to teach texts that originate from across the
globe. Unfortunately, literature in English translation is frequently taught
as if it had been written in English, and students are not made familiar
with the cultural, linguistic, and literary context in which that literature
was produced. As a result, they submit what they read to their own
cultural expectations; they do not read in translation and do not reap the
benefits of intercultural communication. Here a true challenge arises for an instructor. Books in translation
seldom contain introductory information about the mediation that translation implies or the stakes involved in the transfer of cultural information. Instructors are often left to find their own material about the author
or the culture of the source text. Lacking the appropriate pedagogical
tools, they struggle to provide information about either the original work
or about translation itself, and they might feel uneasy about teaching
material for which they lack adequate preparation. Consequently, they
restrict themselves to well-known works in translation or works from
other countries originally written in English.
Literature in Translation: Teaching Issues and Reading Practices squarely addresses this pedagogical lack. The book’s sixteen essays provide for
instructors a context in which to teach works from a variety of languages
and cultures in ways that highlight the effects of linguistic and cultural
transfers.

is affiliated with the Institute for Applied Linguistics. A recipient of

American Abolitionism and
Antislavery Series
John David Smith, Editor
American Abolitionism and Antislavery
is a new series that will present the best
scholarship on antislavery activism and
abolitionism in the eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century United States. The
series will include books by promising
young scholars as well as by established
leaders in the field. Volumes published
in the series will include biographies,
monographs, anthologies, and new editions of classic works on the antislavery
and abolitionist crusades.

On June 2, 1854, crowds lined the streets of Boston, hissing and shouting
at federal authorities as they escorted the fugitive slave Anthony Burns
to the ship that would return him to his slaveholders in Virginia. Days
earlier, handbills had littered the streets decrying Burns’s arrest, and abolitionists, intent on freeing Burns, had attacked with a battering ram the
courthouse in which he was detained, leaving one dead, several wounded,
and thirteen in custody. In the end it would take federal officials nearly
2,000 troops and $40,000 to send Burns back to Virginia. No fugitive
slave would be captured in Boston again.
Carried out under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which permitted
slaveholders to seize runaway slaves across state lines by merely testifying ownership, Burns’s arrest and Boston’s subsequent campaign to free
him is generally regarded by scholars as the impetus that spurred the
adoption of outright confrontational tactics by abolitionists across the
North—an impetus that led, ultimately, to war. Such interpretations,
however, gloss over the confusion and chaos many midcentury Bostonians felt over abolition.
In The Imperfect Revolution, author Gordon Barker challenges the
traditionally held notion that the rendition of Anthony Burns fueled an
antislavery groundswell in the North. He exposes the diverse beliefs—
many of which were less than noble—held by Bostonians struggling to
make sense of the racial, class, and ethnic conflicts arising in the city.
Drawing on newspaper accounts, cutting-edge scholarship, and Burns’s
own writings, Barker shows how antislavery sentiments competed with a
wide range of other opinions, including the desire to preserve the Union
as it was, concerns about preserving law and order, mistrust of whites by
their black neighbors, and outright racism.
A much-needed addition to the study of abolition and antislavery
activism, The Imperfect Revolution will be of value to historians and students.

The Age of Andrew Jackson
Edited by Brian D. McKnight and James S. Humphreys
The inaugural volume in a new historiography series
Historians possess the power to shape the view of history
for those who come after them. Their efforts to illuminate
significant events of the past often result in new interpretations, which frequently conflict with ideas proposed by earlier
historians. Invariably, this divergence of thoughts creates a
dissonance between historians about the causes and meanings
of prior events. The Kent State University Press’s new Interpreting American History Series aims to help readers learn how
truth emerges from the clash of interpretations present in the
study of history.
In the series’s first volume, Interpreting American History:
The Age of Andrew Jackson, experts on Jacksonian America
address the changing views of historians over the past century
on a watershed era in U.S. history. A two-term president of
the United States, Jackson was a powerful leader who widened
constitutional boundaries on the presidency, shaping policy
himself instead of deferring to the wishes of Congress.
The essayists in this volume review the most important issues
of the period—including the Corrupt Bargain, Nullification
Crisis, Indian Removal Act, and Jacksonian democracy, economics, and
reform—and discuss their interpretation over the last hundred years by
such historians as Frederick Jackson Turner, Richard Hofstadter, Arthur M.
Schlesinger Jr., Sean Wilentz, Robert V. Remini, Daniel Feller, and David
Walker Howe.
An insightful compilation of essays, Interpreting American History:
The Age of Andrew Jackson will acquaint readers with the nineteenthcentury world of Andrew Jackson and the ways in which historians have
interpreted his life and times.

New Studies in U.S. Foreign Relations
Series
Mary Ann Heiss, Editor
This series focuses on works that
expand the parameters of U.S. foreign
relations. Chronologically broad and
topically diverse, it is designed to further
the internationalization—indeed,
globalization—of the field by publishing a wide variety of innovative books,
including interdisciplinary studies, that
place the United States within a larger,
transnational context. Areas of focus
include, but are not limited to, identity
formation and projection, borderlands
studies, comparative history, and
cultural transfer.
The struggle to define U.S. national identity through a political
struggle in Spain
In 1938 the United States was embroiled in a vicious debate between
supporters of the two sides of the Spanish Civil War, who sought either
to lift or to retain the U.S. arms embargo on Spain. The embargo, which
favored Gen. Francisco Franco’s Nationalist regime over the ousted
Republican government of the Loyalists, received heavy criticism for
enabling a supposedly fascist-backed takeover during a time when the
Nazi party in Germany was threatening the annexation of countries
across Europe. Supporters of General Franco, however, saw the resistance
of the Loyalists as being spurred on by the Soviet Union, which sought to
establish a communist government abroad.
Since World War II, American historians have traditionally sided with
the Loyalist supporters, validating their arguments that the pro-Nationalists were un-American for backing an unpalatable dictator. In Arguing
Americanism, author Michael E. Chapman examines the long-overlooked
pro-Nationalist argument. Employing new archival sources, Chapman
documents a small yet effective network of lobbyists—including engineer
turned writer John Eoghan Kelly, publisher Ellery Sedgwick, homemaker Clare Dawes, muralist Hildreth Meière, and philanthropist Anne
Morgan—who fought to promote General Franco’s Nationalist Spain and
keep the embargo in place.
Arguing Americanism also goes beyond the embargo debate to examine the underlying issues that gripped 1930s America. Chapman posits
that the Spanish embargo argument was never really about Spain but
rather about the soul of Americanism, the definition of democracy, and
who should do the defining. Pro-Loyalists wanted the pure democracy of
the ballot box; pro-Nationalists favored the checks and balances of indirect democracy. By pointing to what was happening in Spain, each side
tried to defend its version of Americanism against the foreign forces that
threatened it. For Franco supporters, it was the spread of international
Marxism, toward which they felt Roosevelt and his New Deal were too
sympathetic. The pro-Nationalists intensified an argument that became
a precursor to a fundamental change in American national identity—a
change that would usher in the Cold War era.
Arguing Americanism will appeal to political scientists, cultural historians, and students of U.S. foreign relations.
Michael E. Chapman is associate professor of history at Peking University.
He has published several journal articles and books, including Lessons of
the War in Spain and Thesis Writer’s Guide. He divides his time between
Beijing and Boston, where he lives with his wife and two children.

Safe for Decolonization
The Eisenhower Administration, Britain, and Singapore
S. R. Joey Long
How America left its indelible footprint on the culture and politics
of Singapore
In the first decade after World War II, Singapore underwent radical
political and socioeconomic changes with the progressive retreat of
Great Britain from its Southeast Asian colonial empire. The United States,
under the Eisenhower administration, sought to fill the vacuum left by
the British retreat and launched into a campaign to shape the emerging
Singapore nation-state in accordance with its Cold War policies. Based
on a wide array of Chinese- and English-language archival sources from
Great Britain, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United States, Safe
for Decolonization examines in depth the initiatives—both covert and
public—undertaken by the United States in late-colonial Singapore.
Apart from simply analyzing the effect of American activities on the
politics of the island, author S. R. Joey Long also examines their impact
on the relationship between Great Britain and the United States, and how
the Anglo-American nuclear policy toward China and the establishment
of a regional security institution (the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) affected the security and decolonization of a strategic British base.
Long sketches a highly detailed and nuanced account of the relations
between the United States, Great Britain, and Singapore. He not only
describes the often clumsy attempts by covert American operatives to
sway top political leaders, infiltrate governments, influence labor unions,
and shape elections, but he also shows how Eisenhower’s public initiatives proved to have far-reaching positive results and demonstrates that
the Eisenhower administration’s policies toward Singapore, while not
always well advised, nonetheless helped to lay the foundation for friendly
Singapore–U.S. relations after 1960.
As the first multi-archival work on the U.S. intervention in Singapore,
Safe for Decolonization makes an important contribution to the literature
on Southeast Asia–U.S. relations. It will be of interest to specialists in
decolonization, diplomatic history, modern Southeast Asian history, and
the history of the early Cold War.

“Daniel Weimer’s Seeing Drugs

dealing with U.S. drug-control
policy during the period 1969–
1976 by examining it through the
lens of cultural diplomacy.”
—Mary Ann Heiss, Editor, New

“Essential reading for anyone
interested in both the history of
U.S. drug policy and the process
of modernization during the Cold

—William O. Walker III, author of
Drug Control in the Americas and
Opium and Foreign Policy
A timely historical analysis of a persistent global problem
Since its declaration in the early 1970s, the American drug war has
spanned the globe in a quest to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the
United States. Explaining the conceptual framework within which policymakers understood illegal opium production and trafficking, Seeing
Drugs examines the genesis of the war on drugs during the Nixon and
Ford administrations when the United States developed the policies that
set the parameters of subsequent American drug control abroad.
Faced with rising heroin use in the United States and the fear of
drug-addicted Vietnam veterans carrying their affliction home and
propelled by the belief that heroin addiction spreads like a contagious
disease, U.S. officials identified three Third World nations—Thailand,
Burma, and Mexico—as the primary sources of illegal narcotics servicing
the American drug market. Author Daniel Weimer demonstrates that
drug-control officials in these countries confronted a host of interlocking
factors shaping the illicit narcotics trade and that, in response to these
challenges, policymakers applied modernization and counterinsurgency
theory to devise strategies to assist the Thai, Burmese, and Mexican
governments in curbing drug trafficking. The Nixon and Ford administrations sincerely believed their policies could rein in the narcotics trade
and diminish addiction within the United States. In the end, however,
the drug war only guaranteed continued American intervention in the
Third World, where the majority of illegal drug crops grew.
Through interdisciplinary and comparative analysis, Seeing Drugs
examines the contours of the burgeoning drug war, the cultural significance of drugs and addiction, and their links to the formation of national
identity within the United States, Thailand, Burma, and Mexico. By
highlighting the prevalence of modernization and counterinsurgency
discourse within drug-control policy, Weimer reveals an unexplored and
important facet of the history of U.S–Third World interaction.
Daniel Weimer is assistant professor of history at Wheeling Jesuit University, where he teaches courses on contemporary America, international
relations, and environmentalism. His current research explores the
theme of the control of nature within American foreign relations.

Trilateralism and Beyond
Great Power Politics and the Korean Security Dilemma
during and after the Cold War
Edited by Robert A. Wampler
A new study that sheds light on the history of a critical Cold War
flashpoint
The fall of the Berlin Wall more than two decades ago brought an end to
the Cold War for most of the world. But the legacy of that era remains
unresolved on the divided Korean peninsula, which still presents a clear
danger for the United States and its allies. Two triangular alliances—one
comprised of the United States, South Korea, and Japan, and the other of
Russia, China, and North Korea—lie at the heart of the security challenge and all efforts to pursue a final peace treaty.
Trilateralism and Beyond brings together a collection of essays by
leading American, South Korean, and Japanese scholars that probe the
historical dynamics formed and driven by the Korean security dilemma.
Drawing on newly declassified documents secured by the National Security Archive’s Korea Project, along with new archival resources in China
and former Warsaw Pact countries, the contributors examine the critical
relationship between the United States and South Korea, exploring the
delicate balancing act of bolstering the security alliance and fostering
greater democracy in South Korea. The volume expands its focus to
include Japan and a look at the history and future challenges of trilateral
security cooperation on the peninsula; impending difficulties for security
cooperation between the United States, South Korea, and Japan; and
the trials that Russia and China have experienced in dealing with an
often demanding, unpredictable ally in North Korea. The authors move
beyond simple images of ideological support by the two great powers to
draw a more complex and nuanced picture.
Trilateralism and Beyond offers an essential historical perspective on
one of the most enduring challenges for U.S. foreign policy—ensuring
stability on the tumultuous Korean peninsula.

An Integrated Boyhood
Coming of Age in White Cleveland
Phillip M. Richards
The memoir of a bookish black youth in mid-twentieth century
Cleveland
When Phillip M. Richards graduated from Yale in 1972, he had fulfilled
his parents’ dreams. Like many other black Clevelanders of their generation, they had come up from the South in the late forties and moved
from neighborhood to neighborhood in search of better schools. As
they followed bourgeois African Americans’ circular migration from Mt.
Pleasant to Lee Harvard to South Taylor Road and finally to Forest Hills,
Richards’s parents provided him with all of what they called “the good
situations”—major work, classes at the Institute of Music, Boy Scouts,
and education at University School—which midcentury Cleveland could
offer its most ambitious new black residents.
In An Integrated Boyhood, Richards candidly describes how this
exemplary middle-class Cleveland sojourn left him hopelessly confused
and dislocated at the very moment of his parents’ triumph. His narrative
of success provides the background to a more private turmoil: Richards’s
struggle to read the shifting meanings of his privileged experience amid
the city’s shifting racial lines, the fringe on the Left, the tumult of rising
black consciousness, and the fears of nervous white suburban neighbors.
This coming-of-age story sings the undersong of an older generation’s
hard-won success. Like all black Clevelanders, Richards was forced to
struggle for his understanding of the city’s—and his own—endless racial
confusion in the midst of frightening historical change. It is this reality that recurs throughout Richards’s memoir: the early encounters of a
scared, bookish African American boy from Mt. Pleasant with what can
only be described as the real world.

Eric Mendelsohn’s Park Synagogue
Architecture and Community
Walter C. Leedy Jr.
Edited by Sara Jane Pearman
A thorough examination of an influential building and the architect behind its design
Eric Mendelsohn’s modernist building, The Park Synagogue in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is one of the most significant post–World War II
buildings in the United States. Notable for its magnificent dome and its
natural wooded setting, it also had an immense architectural influence
on other religious structures in the Midwest.
Erected during the late 1940s, the Synagogue was built in response to
a large majority of the downtown Cleveland Jewish population moving
to the eastern suburbs. In 1934, under the leadership of Rabbi Armond
Cohen, the struggling Anshe Emeth Beth Tefilo congregation bought the
twelve-acre property of the defunct Park School in Cleveland Heights
and later purchased an additional twenty-one acres of land adjacent to
the Park property owned by John D. Rockefeller. Plans were developed
for a new synagogue to be designed and built by the famous European
architect Eric Mendelsohn. Today The Park Synagogue, dedicated in 1950,
is home to one of the nation’s major Conservative congregations.
Eric Mendelsohn’s Park Synagogue tells the story of the construction of
The Park Synagogue and examines how Mendelsohn consciously sought
to express the ideals and traditions of the congregation and Judaism
in its architectural forms. From one of the world’s largest copper-clad
domes weighing 680 tons to the shape of the sanctuary and spectacular
bimah, Mendelsohn sought to incorporate the architecture into Jewish
ritual and worship. He favored dramatic curves of glass walls, circular
stairwells, and porthole windows, and he used the circle as a dominant
form throughout his career. The Park Synagogue is one of the few Mendelsohn buildings that remains virtually as it was built.
Author Walter C. Leedy Jr. discusses how the construction of The Park
Synagogue solidified the congregation, attracted new members, and set
the stage for expansion into the next century. Eric Mendelsohn’s Park
Synagogue brings unique insight into the development of the American
Jewish community during the post–World War II period and into the
evolution of Mendelsohn’s architecture.
Walter C. Leedy Jr. was an architectural historian and a professor at
Cleveland State University. He passed away in 2006, shortly before Eric
Mendelsohn’s Park Synagogue was finished. The book was completed by
his longtime personal friend, Sara Jane Pearman, who is now retired
from the Cleveland Museum of Art.

A Higher Contemplation
Sacred Meaning in the Christian Art of the Middle Ages
Stephen N. Fliegel
Understanding medieval Christian art

biblio., index
During the Middle Ages, religious art had a variety of functions and
was prevalent in churches, public spaces, and private homes. Sculptures
and paintings were used as altarpieces, movable images, choir screens,
piers or niches, and reliquaries. They were placed behind, above, or near
altars as well as on pulpits, lecterns, building exteriors, holy water fonts,
tombs, and roadside shrines. They were also used for private devotion in the home. In addition to the obvious didactic function of
religious images in medieval art, they filled other needs of both
the beholder and the church: veneration. Candles were lit and
censed before the sacred images; offerings were made in
the name of the figures who were honored and cherished
in a very direct way. Sacred images, an aid to meditation,
served to remind Christians of the pious and virtuous
lives of the saints and of their sacrifices. They embellished sacred spaces, giving them an otherworldly luster.
Sacred art was an important ingredient in the formative
power and energy of medieval piety.
Some of the most profound and enduring works of art
in Western civilization were produced for private devotion
and public worship. Indeed, many of the most significant
artists of the Middle Ages and Renaissance earned their
livelihoods producing religious art in the service of the
church. To access and understand this art today, we
must be aware of its context, its intended audience, and
its functions in the public or private space. In A Higher
Contemplation, author Stephen N. Fliegel introduces
medieval Christian iconography and its forms, meaning,
function, context, and symbolism to twenty-first-century
audiences. Serving as a guide to the subtleties, complexities, richness, range, and antiquity of medieval Christian
artistic traditions and the multiple levels in which they can
be understood, this book will aid the reader in a journey
of discovery and understanding of those sacred images.
Beautifully designed with full-color illustrations throughout, A Higher Contemplation will appeal to students, teachers, travelers, art lovers, and those with an interest in the
culture of the Middle Ages and the history of religion.
Stephen N. Fliegel is curator of medieval art at the
Cleveland Museum of Art. He has published numerous
scholarly articles, catalogs, and books on the subject of
medieval art and has organized several international
exhibitions on the subject. He lectures widely and is the
author of Resplendent Faith: Liturgical Treasuries of the
Middle Ages (The Kent State University Press, 2009).

c. 128 pp., 8½ x 11
Akron-based architect William P. Ginther (1858–1933) designed sixtythree Roman Catholic churches, primarily in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Dedication is the first book to document his architectural designs. By
combining historical images with twenty-first-century photographs,
author Anthony J. Valleriano presents the most comprehensive overview
of Ginther’s architectural career available today.
The son of German immigrants, Ginther demonstrated considerable
drawing skills at an early age. In grade school, he was known for illustrating pictures of the school building and grounds. As his skills advanced,
Ginther was encouraged to study architecture as a profession at Buchtel
College (now the University of Akron). Frank Wheary, a leading Akron
architect of the time, spotted Ginther’s drawing talents and promptly
put him to work. Under Wheary’s guidance, Ginther learned the craft of
architectural drafting and engineering and helped design and supervise
the construction of his first building, McKinley Church, in Canton, Ohio.
Ginther became one of the most influential ecclesiastical
architects in Ohio during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The designer of churches in Cleveland, Akron,
Columbus, Pittsburgh, Erie, and many other communities,
he defined the sense of sacred space for countless worshipers and enriched the aesthetic and religious lives of the
region’s residents.
Those interested in religious architecture or in Ohio
historical architecture will find Dedication a valuable addition to their libraries.

The Local World
Mira Rosenthal
Winner of the 2010 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize
Maggie Anderson, Judge
“Mira Rosenthal’s The Local World incorporates deeply lived experience
and mystery in a fluent shape-shifting that can take you anywhere—and
bring you back, changed. The poems are beautifully crafted narratives of
loss, travel, and salvage. There is a damaged family at the heart of these
poems, an abandoned farm, and many rooms, parks, and train cars in far
places. Yet, like all really good poems, Rosenthal’s language consistently
rises above its cries to wonder and beauty. What a joy to find this stunning first book to award the Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize.”

Tethering World
The Lonely-wilds
Jody Rambo
Elizabeth Breese
“Jody Rambo’s poems push and pull, travel and rest,
occupy and set free. Her ‘tether’ both holds her fast
to the facts and words that make up our world, but
at the same time it liberates her to roam and travel,
inclined as she says, ‘to wander off into the green
beyond recoverable limits.’ What I admire most
about this book is the way the wide arc of history
and narrative and the smallest gesture of image and
word come together—tethered—into something
wondrous and new.” —Jeffrey Thomson
“Jody Rambo’s first book of poetry, Tethering World,
is lyrical, tactile, and transcendent—in a word,
enthralling. The very texture embodies a personal
way of seeing and saying, as does the extraordinary
range of circumstances. There is a beguiling strangeness to the writing, and philosophical smarts to boot.
‘I am weatherly,’ says the speaker in Tethering World,
and she truly is, singularly so. This book is poetry
top to bottom.” —Marvin Bell
“Pitched between Emily Dickinson’s ‘Dare you see
a Soul at the White Heat?’ and William Blake’s ‘I
want! I want!,’ Jody Rambo’s Tethering World offers
an elegant, somatic pastoral, a ‘weatherly’ sensibility that forges the post-Lapsarian realm of loss and
desire into an alchemical mix of rue, awe, beauty,
and change—what John Keats called a ‘vale of soulmaking.’ Intelligent, prescient, eloquent, Rambo’s
tethering of poems compels us to inherit its manifold, exquisitely wrought linguistic ravishments, its
vision.” —Lisa Russ Spaar
Jody Rambo holds an M.F.A. from Colorado State
University. Her poems have appeared in Barrow
Street, Gulf Coast, Notre Dame Review, Quarterly
West, Verse, Virginia Quarterly Review, and other
publications. She is the recipient of two Individual
Excellence Awards from the Ohio Arts Council, as
well as a Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant.
She teaches creative writing at Wittenberg University

“Traveling from her pastoral America to Neruda’s
Chile and the Ireland of St. Kevin, Elizabeth
Breese sings the lonely-wild lyric of ditch flowers
and raw honey, tornados and radios, broken
birds and sailors lost at sea. Her ars poetica: ‘little
bee hand in pocket editions, the rough- / cut
paper combs, dancing for the things it loves.’”
—Harryette Mullen
“As with Dickinson and Stevens, to understand an
Elizabeth Breese poem is beside the point; one
apprehends it, the way one does a scent or strain
of music. Roving, impure, funny, brainy, and
passionate, hers is work I want to keep beside me
for the good company and generous pleasures it
offers line by gorgeous line.” —Kathy Fagan
Elizabeth Breese teaches composition at the
Columbus College of Art and Design. She

Essays on MobyDick
Edited by John

Bercaw Edwards, and
Timothy Marr
“By invoking the notion
of Melville’s ‘ungraspable
phantom of life,’ the editors of this volume want to suggest that the collection
as a whole acknowledges the multiplicity in Melville’s
novel. If Moby-Dick is ‘ungraspable,’ it is only because
it cannot be grasped through one approach only.
And the fact that the novel lends itself to multiple
approaches and numerous interpretations accounts
for both its appeal to some and repulsion for others.”

James Jessen Badal tells
a gripping tale of justice
gone wrong in this story
about Frank Dolezal, the
only man actually arrested for the infamous “Torso
Murders” in Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1930s. It is
also a modern story of forensic analysis as compelling as an episode of CSI. Using 1930s police reports,
inquest testimony, autopsy and archival photographs,
notes from primary investigators, and analyses from
top forensic anthropologists and medical examiners, Badal establishes the facts, dispels rumors, and
presents a thorough examination of the actual cause
of Frank Dolezal’s mysterious death and theorizes on
the identity of the real killer. Included are an analysis
of the likely killer and a chronology of his gruesome
spree by forensic psychiatrist Cathleen Cerny.

J. Bauer and Mark
Dawidziak
Jim Tully left his hometown of St. Marys, Ohio,
in 1901, spending most of
his teenage years in the
company of hoboes. Drifting across the country,
he scrambled into boxcars, slept in hobo jungles, begged meals from back
doors, and haunted public libraries. He crafted these
memories into a dark and astonishing chronicle of the
American underclass. Originally published in 1924,
this is the book that defined Tully’s hard-boiled style
and set the pattern for the books that followed over
the next two decades.

Foreword by Gerald
Early
When The Bruiser was first
published in 1936, almost
every reviewer praised
Jim Tully’s gritty boxing
novel for its authenticity—a hard-earned attribute.
“It’s a pip of a story because it is written by a man who
knows what he is writing about,” said sportswriter and
Guys and Dolls author Damon Runyon. “He has some
descriptions of ring fighting in it that literally smell of
whizzing leather. He has put bone and sinew into it,
and atmosphere and feeling.” More than just a riveting
picture of life in the ring, The Bruiser is a portrait of
an America that Jim Tully knew from the bottom up.

a “comic folklore festival

colony in Cleveland, Ohio, back in the 1920s when all
the land was a little slaphappy—and no one more so
than these transplanted countrymen of the Medicis,
Giuseppe Garibaldi, Christopher Columbus . . . and
others whose hearts have belonged to Italia.” More a
legend than a realistic or sociological novel, Fabrizze
is a celebration of the working class and a heroic tale
of an immigrant who succeeds by virtue of hard work
and honesty.

Foreword by Thomas

If the mood of The Coming

Each of DeCapite’s novels
is original in its own
way, perhaps inspired by
different moods. Orville
Prescott described A Lost King as “an apologia for
dreamers. A more mature book, it deals with a more
serious theme—the relationship of a father and son . . .
a pathetic and perhaps tragic conflict of personalities.”

The Antebellum
Crisis and America’s
First Bohemians
Mark A. Lause
Amid the social and
political tensions plaguing
the United States prior to
the Civil War, the North
experienced a boom of
cultural activity. Young
writers, artists, and musicians settled in northern
cities and called themselves
“bohemians.” Building on midcentury abolitionist,
socialist, and free labor sentiments, bohemian influence reached beyond the arts to political radicalism
and social revolution. Focusing on the overlapping
nature of culture and politics, historian Mark A. Lause
delves into the world of antebellum bohemians and
the newspapermen who surrounded them.
