Potomac River Blues

A Work of Contemporary Political Fiction

By: Robert H. Dockery

A scheming fat-cat fund-raiser and a group of high-powered politicos join forces to set in motion a plan to deep-six term limits for presidents. As the plan proceeds, there's a bit of murder and mayhem, assorted sexual escapades, and the usual Washington brand of duplicity and double-dealing. Observe the nation's political mosh-pit in action. Now meet Rick Cutler, a seasoned Senate strategist, who's spent most of his adult life working the pit, but without losing his way. He keeps a close watch on his boss, Senator Brad Walker, and he worries about some of the others, like Congressman Eddy "The Iceman" Irvine and money-bags Chewy Upton, as well the White House bulls, Johnny The Car and Doug Dellinger. As Cutler knows, staying ahead of this crowd is no easy task. Cutler and the others will take you on a journey deep inside the belly of the beast as they navigate some of D.C.'s darkest streets.

Maverick Republican in the Old North State

A Political Biography of Daniel L. Russell

By: Jeffrey J. Crow,Robert F. Durden

Daniel Russell is a good example of what Carl Degler has termed “the other South.” The son of an aristocratic eastern North Carolina family of staunch Whig-Unionists, he entered politics when the Republican party first appeared in the state after the Civil War. For more than forty years thereafter he fought the solid South mentality of the Bourbon Democrats, first as a Radical Republican judge, then as a Greenbacker congressman, and finally as a Republican governor with Populist sympathies–the only chief executive of his party that North Carolina had between Reconstruction and the 1970s. The basic themes of Russell’s political life were racial and economic in nature. As a judge on the state superior court he ruled in the Wilmington opera house case of 1873 that blacks could not be denied accommodations on the account of their race. As a congressman he embraced the cause of currency reform and the regulation of corporate enterprise. Elected governor in 1896 by an uneasy coalition of Populists and Republicans—an alliance that Crow and Durden fully examine—he pushed reforms designed to bring nonresident corporations under stricter state supervision and challenged the ninety-nine-year lease of the state-owned North Carolina Railroad to J.P. Morgan’s Southern Railway Company. The Democrats’ triumphant white-supremacy campaigns of 1898 and 1900 and the resulting disfranchisement of black voters, however, crushed these progressive initiatives, and afterward the complex and sometimes irascible Russell kept a low profile until his tern ended in 1901. His final years were taken up by a famous interstate lawsuit that he initiated to force North Carolina to pay certain Reconstruction debts it had repudiated. The reasons for Russell’s political failure while southern Progressives of the period generally succeeded shed much new light on the reform movement in the South between 1890 and 1910. Although the reforms that he took up were no more radical than those called for by his contemporaries, Crow and Durden find in this first full account of his career that “in the last analysis, Russell’s unique blend of Old South paternalism toward blacks with New South radicalism concerning currency and railway reform challenged too many taboos of race, class, and party.”
