Shadrach Minkins

From Fugitive Slave to Citizen

By: Gary Collison

Shadrach Minkins

From Fugitive Slave to Citizen

By: Gary Collison

On February 15, 1851, Shadrach Minkins was serving breakfast at a coffeehouse in Boston when history caught up with him. The first runaway to be arrested in New England under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, this illiterate Black man from Virginia found himself the catalyst of one of the most dramatic episodes of rebellion and legal wrangling before the Civil War. In a remarkable effort of historical sleuthing, Gary Collison has recovered the true story of Shadrach Minkins’ life and times and perilous flight. His book restores an extraordinary chapter to our collective history and at the same time offers a rare and engrossing picture of the life of an ordinary Black man in nineteenth-century North America. As Minkins’ journey from slavery to freedom unfolds, we see what day-to-day life was like for a slave in Norfolk, Virginia, for a fugitive in Boston, and for a free Black man in Montreal. Collison recreates the drama of Minkins’s arrest and his subsequent rescue by a band of Black Bostonians, who spirited the fugitive to freedom in Canada. He shows us Boston’s Black community, moved to panic and action by the Fugitive Slave Law, and the previously unknown community established in Montreal by Minkins and other refugee Blacks from the United States. And behind the scenes, orchestrating events from the disastrous Compromise of 1850 through the arrest of Minkins and the trial of his rescuers, is Daniel Webster, who through the exigencies of his dimming political career, took the role of villain. Webster is just one of the familiar figures in this tale of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. Others, such as Frederick Douglass, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Harriet Jacobs, and Harriet Beecher Stowe (who made use of Minkins’s Montreal community in Uncle Tom’s Cabin), also appear throughout the narrative. Minkins’ intriguing story stands as a fascinating commentary on the nation’s troubled times—on urban slavery and Boston abolitionism, on the Underground Railroad, and on one of the federal government’s last desperate attempts to hold the Union together.

Financial Audit

Office of Financial Stability (Troubled Asset Relief Program) Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Statements

By: Gary T. Engel

The Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to implement the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and established the Office of Financial Stability (OFS) within the Department of the Treasury to do so. EESA requires the annual preparation of financial statements for TARP, and further requires an audit of these statements. The audit of OFS¿s fiscal year 2009 financial statements for TARP determined whether, in all material respects: (1) the financial statements were fairly stated; and (2) OFS management maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. The auditor also tested OFS¿s compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations. Charts and tables.

The Wizard of Ozwald

The Wizard of Ozwald

What we know now that we didn't know then

By: Gary Hill

The Wizard of Ozwald: What We Know Now That We Didn' t Know Then takes readers deep into the web of conspiracy, espionage, and deception surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Drawing from newly released documents and firsthand accounts, the book explores the shadowy figures that manipulated Lee Harvey Oswald, casting him as a pawn in a broader Cold War plot.JFK's adversaries ranged from US military leaders to the CIA, Cuban exile groups, and organized crime — each driven by their fanatical anti-communist agenda. But behind it all was a paranoid mastermind pulling the strings: James Jesus Angleton, the CIA's counterintelligence chief, who controlled Oswald long before November 22, 1963.Author Gary Hill meticulously pieces together a complex narrative involving secret CIA operations, mafia involvement, and personal vendettas. With revelations from witnesses, including Paul Landis and the Parkland doctors, The Wizard of Ozwald uncovers connections to figures like George Joannides and the LICooky Project, revealing a chilling orchestration of events that led to the death of a president— and the framing of Oswald.Hill leads readers down the “ yellow brick road” of conspiracy, where, as David Ferry noted, “ the craziest things might make perfect sense.” “ Who is the Wizard of Ozwald? Gary Hill's ingenious new book pulls back the curtain to show the great and powerful forces behind Lee Harvey Oswald. It's a yellow brick road laden with Cold War intrigue and espionage...wildly ambitious.” — James Day, author of Mad Bishops.
