Secularists, Religion and Government in Nineteenth-Century America

By: Timothy Verhoeven

This book shows how, through a series of fierce battles over Sabbath laws, legislative chaplains, Bible-reading in public schools and other flashpoints, nineteenth-century secularists mounted a powerful case for a separation of religion and government. Among their diverse ranks were religious skeptics, liberal Protestants, members of minority faiths, labor reformers and defenders of slavery. Drawing on popular petitions to Congress, a neglected historical source, the book explores how this secularist mobilization gathered energy at the grassroots level. The nineteenth century is usually seen as the golden age of an informal Protestant establishment. Timothy Verhoeven demonstrates that, far from being crushed by an evangelical juggernaut, secularists harnessed a range of cultural forces—the legacy of the Revolutionary founders, hostility to Catholicism, a belief in national exceptionalism and more—to argue that the United States was not a Christian nation, branding their opponents as fanatics who threatened both democratic liberties as well as true religion.

Sinatra

Hollywood His Way

By: Timothy Knight

In the scores of posthumous tributes paid to Frank Sinatra after his death in 1998, most focused on his extraordinary reign as "The Voice" of twentieth-century pop music. But Sinatra was much more than a music icon. He was also one of the most popular movie stars of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s -- an Academy-Award winning actor with some sixty film credits to his name. He starred in some of the most iconic films of the twentieth century and with some of the biggest names of the day. There were his dancing days with Gene Kelly in Anchors Aweigh and On the Town; his acclaimed dramatic turns in From Here to Eternity and The Manchurian Candidate; and his signature Rat Pack movies such as Ocean's Eleven. Sinatra: Hollywood His Way is a complete, film by film exploration of this true Hollywood legend. His screen history is vividly brought to life through illuminating reviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and hundreds of rare color and black-and-white photographs, making this the ultimate guide to the films of Frank Sinatra and an essential in the library of any fan.

A Pickle for the Knowing Ones

By: Lord Timothy Dexter

Born in 1747. Lord Timothy Dexter was born in Malden in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. At eight years old, he left school to work on a farm as a laborer, then at 16, he took a trade as an apprentice to a leather crafter. Later in his life he married a 32 year old rich widow named Elizabeth Frothinghamin Newburyport, MA. He was somewhat looked down upon in the upper echelons of the society in which his new wife circled, and they labeled him unintelligent. Ultimately, he had the last laugh due to a brilliant business acumen that amassed him quite a bit of money throughout his life. (Some contest by luck alone.) Published in 1802, A Pickle for the Knowing Ones is largely an autobiography written by Lord Dexter to present himself as a philosopher, aggrandize his role as a political observationist. The whole book, from his opinions to his use of punctuation is a sort of satire, and contains within an unwitting comedic overtone.
