Thank you for accepting me as a friend, Nzingha. Your library is most interesting.
Thank You Nzingha!
Hi. I was wondering how I can get a copy of "Marks of a Lost Race" by Henry E. Bibins. A friend of mine told me this was a excellent history book. I've searched the Internet, but haven't had any luck. I'm impressed with your library content.
Yes, Nzingha, this is a Jefferson-Barlow translation! Jefferson did his translation anonymously since he was afraid the religious content in the book would be used against him. It wasn't until the 1920s that a French researcher (see Gilbert Chinard's book in my library) found letters between Volney & Jefferson that revealed the truth. The very first Jefferson-Barlow edition was published in Paris in 1802 by Levrault. As you mentioned, your edition is based on that edition. The first line of the Invocation also fits. So hang on to that baby! If my novel sells, there could be a resurgence in interest in Jefferson editions of Voley's Ruins...All Zee Best, TCW
Hello NZinga this is jpeirpont from cocoalounge. Just stopping by to say hi, I miss your presence.
I, too, thought it was WONDERFUL!...Sooooo glad you agree. Did you load it from seeing it on my TBR? I hope so...that always makes me smile. This year LT has led me to uncover some really talented male fiction writers.

Drop me a note when you finish Any Known Blood. I think you'll enjoy it as well!

Thanks for adding me.

As far as I know, only one of his schools has been damaged. (This is probably outdated news, however.) Because his schools are built by the villagers themselves, and not by some outside government organization or other entity, the villagers have a much more vested interest in the schools, and protect them more vehemently. That's not to say things are peaceful for the villagers -- just that there's a stronger sense of community surrounding the schools that are built by the people themselves, and thus greater protection for the buildings.
Thanks and sorry for the late....
Sorry for the late response!!!
Thanks for accepting me as your friend!!
How are you?
I enjoyed reading your library list. I added "Hubert Harrison" to my Amazon shopping cart after seeing it listed here.
I saw that you recently added A Mery. I'm hoping to get a few folks together to read and discuss over in the African-American lit group. If you're interested, stop by
Thanks! Some people hate that I tell a bit about the plot and characters, but I never think the back cover tells enough for me to know if I'll like it or not!!
Enjoy

Coo! I like your catalog.
Yes, I posted a message to her as well as we had talked about it before. Thanks for the reminder as I do sometimes rush.
Nzingha,

One thing I just noticed that I left off that was also a great help when I did not where some people might have gone, is a CD of all the African Americans listed in the 1870 census. It is in the form of a searchable database which means you can search by given name, surname, city, county, state, etc. It is wonderful if you are looking for unusual or usual names as it lists all of them in every state if you pick or one state if you pick that. It is called African-Americans in the 1870 U. S. Federal Census produced by Heritage Quest.
You and I share the only copies of The Savage Hits Back. I read this after picking it up at a used book sale some time ago. Very interesting read and one that many people are missing out on with a vantage point well worth considering. Your neighbor over in Tennessee.

Hi, Nzingha:

I discovered this book while watching PBS. It is called Slavery by Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon. 18 of 19 reviews on Amazon are five stars.
You're welcome. Your library displays a wealth of diversity and craft.
