Over a century ago a series of shocking mutilation murders took place in a squalid, overcrowded district of Victorian London. Five women fell victim to a man driven by rage and violent fantasy. The newspapers of the day gave him a chilling nickname, a name that evokes images of gas-lit foggy streets and a top-hatted sinister figure carrying a Gladstone bag. From the outset, the murderer attained almost mythical status merely by virtue of his name and his uncanny ability to avoid detection. The legend of Jack the Ripper was born. Peter Hodgson's detailed and entertaining overview of Ripper lore in fact, film and fiction analyses the fiend's awesome legacy. He explores the institutions and the individuals: the Jewish community and their rituals with meat, the scandal-prone royal family, the Victorian police and their simplistic methods of investigation, the streetwalkers and their trade. This book compares the fiction with the reality of those ghastly events, and clearly shows how the real killer has been transformed into a creature of the mind-the 'other' Jack the Ripper. Examination of the victims' mutilations reveals the true nature of 'Jack's' grotesque fantasies. This aspect-coupled with his elementary anatomical knowledge-is used in conjunction with the FBI's appraisal of the case to construct a unique psychological profile. From the long list of candidates the author reveals his prime suspect for the role of the world's most infamous serial killer.

George Q. Cannon was the most able defender of Mormonism in the nineteenth century. By the time he was thirty, Cannon had been a printer's devil, a religious refugee, an 1847 Utah pioneer, a member of the great trek of 1849 across the southern Great Basin to California, a gold miner, a Latter-day Saint missionary to the Hawaiian Islands, and finally, editor and publisher of the San Francisco Western Standard. In an unequal contest, the eloquent young believer was the sole Mormon combatant in a fiery newspaper war in a day when media meant print.The Contents: In a labor extending over several years, Roger Robin Ekins has collected Cannon's writings from the Western Standard and the editorials and articles of the opposition press, along with the young missionary's correspondence with Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Daniel H. Wells. Woven together with explanatory text, these documents paint a vivid picture of the heated debate that raged over the new religion as it approached one of its greatest crises, the Utah War of 1857-1858.An Essential Source Work: Cannon traded editorial attacks with the other California papers, debating and denouncing each other on events in the West, particularly as they applied to controversies raging over the fledgling theocracy on the shores of Great Salt Lake. As a contribution to the documentary record of frontier Mormonism, Defending Zion presents the most cogent arguments of the religion's best nineteenth-century champion. To understand the passions that surrounded this new religious movement, such a perspective is more than desirable: it is essential.Brigham Young: Young and Cannon exchanged letters regularly while the editor was in California. Reproduced in this volume, they illuminate a unique and highly personal relationship. Unlike other Mormon editors, officials, and propagandists, Cannon never advised Young to watch his words, and he handled the Mormon firebrand with a finesse and diplomacy that foretold the brilliance of his subsequent political career. Later appointed to the First Presidency by Young, he would go on to serve his church faithfully in the halls of Congress in the nation's capital.Sheds light on the history of the wider West: Roger Robin Ekins has done a yeoman's work in rescuing Cannon's early writings from obscurity. They paint a vivid picture of the 1850s, an often-forgotten period in California's colorful past, and again reveal how obscure Mormon sources shed light on the history of the wider West. The editorials, articles, and letters collected in this volume deal with frontier justice, vigilantism, politics, journalism, religion, violence, overland emigration, White Indians, Danites, and even sex. Polygamy inspired a host of scandalous tales of how the crafty elders of Salt Lake lured their young victims into sexual slavery.The Utah War: More importantly, these primary accounts chronicle the bitter controversies that eventually led President James Buchanan to send a military expedition to Utah so costly that it almost bankrupted the republic on the eve of the Civil War.The book is enhanced with notes, bibliography and index, portraits, illustrations. Printed on acid-free paper and bound in light blue linen cloth with two-color foil stamping on the spine and front cover to match other volumes in the series. Issued in a limited edition. Kingdom in the West Series, vol. 5.

For the first time in the two hundred years since Lewis and Clark led their expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific, we hear the other side of the story—as we listen to nine descendants of the Indians whose homelands were traversed. Among those who speak: Newspaper editor Mark Trahant writes of his childhood belief that he was descended from Clark and what his own research uncovers. Award-winning essayist and fiction writer Debra Magpie Earling describes the tribal ways that helped her nineteenth-century Salish ancestors survive, and that still work their magic today. Montana political figure Bill Yellowtail tells of the efficiency of Indian trade networks, explaining how axes that the expedition traded for food in the Mandan and Hidatsa villages of Kansas had already arrived in Nez Perce country by the time Lewis and Clark got there a few months and 1,000 miles later. Umatilla tribal leader Roberta Conner compares Lewis and Clark’s journal entries about her people with what was actually going on, wittily questioning Clark’s notion that the natives believed the white men “came from the clouds”—in other words, they were gods. Writer and artist N. Scott Momaday ends the book with a moving tribute to the “most difficult of journeys,” calling it, in the truest sense, for both the men who entered the unknown and those who watched, “a vision quest,” with the “visions gained being of profound consequence.”Some of the essays are based on family stories, some on tribal or American history, still others on the particular circumstances of a tribe today—but each reflects the expedition’s impact through the prism of the author’s own, or the tribe’s, point of view.Thoughtful, moving, provocative, Lewis and Clark Through Indian Eyes is an exploration of history—and a study of survival—that expands our knowledge of our country’s first inhabitants. It also provides a fascinating and invaluable new perspective on the Lewis and Clark expedition itself and its place in the long history of our continent.

Like many of his contemporaries serving in the bullpen of a daily newspaper, Frederick Richardson was required to be a jack of all trades. As a staff artist for the Chicago Daily News in the 1890s, Richardson might have been asked to provide an editorial cartoon one day, an illustration for a children’s story the next, and a full-page illustration for the features section the day after that. Many of these artists survived in such an environment by learning to “hack” the work out, keeping it simple and rote. After all, it would probably end up in the dust bin the next day anyway. But Richardson proved to be a cut above the typical ink slinger at a daily newspaper. Over a 15-year stint, Richardson’s work blossomed, becoming more complex and assured. Instead of cutting corners in his illustrations and cartoons, he somehow managed to find a way to absorb the popular artistic movements of his time, such as Europe’s burgeoning Art Nouveau, and marry them to his own increasingly detailed style. And the detail Richardson lavished on many of his newspaper illustrations was clearly beyond any reasonable expectation from publisher or subscriber. Newspapers of that time were not known for their printing quality: the high-volume presses and cheap, pulpy paper stock did no artists’ work any favors. But this didn’t deter Richardson from investing tremendous amounts of attention to his extravagant pen-and-ink drawings. The evidence shows that he was obviously out to please himself before all others, and his standards were indeed formidable. Although Richardson eventually left the newspaper grind in 1903 and moved to New York City to begin a new phase in his career as an illustrator of children’s books, this collection—the first of its kind in well over a century—brings together the best of Richardson’s work published in the mid- to late 1890s for the Chicago Daily News. Reproduced from an especially rare 1899 collection that was printed with a level of care and refinement on par with his work, The Lost Art of Frederick Richardson also includes a short biography by well-known scholar Martin Gardner and an introduction by prolific fiction writer Ruth Berman. Modern readers, after seeing these drawings, will be left wondering what today’s newspapers might be like if they aspired to this level of enchantment and artistry.

Mad Cow Disease - the very mention touched off newspaper headlines and sent a scare throughout Canada and the United States, effectively closing the longest undefended border in the world. In this careful examination of the science and fears that closed the U.S. border to Canadian beef, a Canadian scientist presents an unwavering condemnation of the politicians and special interest groups fighting to keep the border closed. Timely, and at times explosive, Dr. Wooding's cattle Crisis is a call for sanity in a trade dispute in which consumers are the ultimate losers on both sides of the Canada - U.S. border. Ironically, the author points out, while this border closure has kept American beef prices high, delighting the ranchers, these same high prices are hurting both consumers and meat packers alike, raising speculation as to how long this situation will be tolerated by the American public. With trade backlogs already closing U.S. slaughter and processing plants, Canada's cattle population growing to record levels, and our international beef trade stifled by nervousness surrounding a much misunderstood disease, losses in both countries are reaching into the hundreds of millions, in fact billions, of dollars. On top of these revelations, Dr. Wooding details how the sudden onset of this crisis exposed glaring weaknesses in the Canadian beef and meat packing industries, which have caused the government, the meat packers and the cattle lobby to scramble for solutions.

Johnny Healy's sparkling commentary about life on the Upper Missouri in the 1860s and 70s appeared as a series of Frontier Sketches in his newspaper, the Benton Record, northern Montana's first newspaper. Healy's Sketches are presented here for the first time in book form. John J. Healy, an Irish immigrant lived life on the edge. He blazed a wide swath across the Upper Missouri frontier as a miner, Indian trader and fighter, politician, merchant, and sheriff. He sought adventure first, fortune second, all the while recording his escapades with a unique blend of color and historical accuracy. Here is Johnny Healy, a master story-teller at his best! Born in Cork, Ireland in 1837, John Jerome Healy immigrated to the U.S. and joined the Army's Second Dragoons during the Mormon Campaign in 1858. Discharged from the Army in 1860 just before the Civil War, Healy joined an emigrant train en route Oregon. Fighting off native Indian raids, Healy gained gold fever and stampeded to the new Idaho gold fields. His party struck gold at Florence, yet Healy continued to seek adventure more than riches. For the next quarter century Johnny Healy centered his adventures on the Upper Missouri River. There he established a robe trading post at Sun River Crossing and began to acquire the money he needed to move across the Canadian border to challenge the mighty Hudson Bay Company. It was at Healy's Trading Post in 1867 that Acting Governor Thomas Francis Meagher spent his last days before riding on to his death at Fort Benton, falling, jumping or being pushed off a steamboat never to be seen again. By 1869, Healy had the money he needed to built a major trading post, Fort Whoop-Up, near today's Lethbridge, and with other Free Traders from Fort Benton began to dominate the robe trade, often using whisky to sweeten the pot for the native bison robe trade just as the Hudson Bay Company had used rum for the same purpose. In reaction, the Canadians formed the North West Mounted Police and move this new force into western Canada to shut down the American traders with Johnny Healy their premier target. By 1874 Healy withdrew from Canadian territory to relocate to Fort Benton where he operated as a government scout in the Nez Perce War and led General Alfred Terry across the Canadian border for a fateful meeting with the Sioux and Sitting Bull at Fort Walsh. Healy was named Sheriff of massive historic Choteau County which extended from the Rocky Mountain Front eastward to the Little Rockies and from the Judith Basin northward to the Canadian border. He served with distinction as Sheriff for most of the eight years. Throughout the Fort Benton years Healy joined a large contingent of Irish Fenians who kept life at the head of navigation lively at all times. Healy's Frontier Sketches record many of his lively adventures and those of his friends. He presents the most compete record of the violent years between Blackfoot and white settlers from 1865-70, culminating in the murder of legendary fur trader Malcolm Clarke and the retaliatory Marias Massacre. Healy records many of the conflicts initiated by the Sioux as they were forced westward into Montana Territory along the Missouri River. This book presents for the first time all fifty Frontier Sketches by Johnny Healy together with a series of important stories written by him about the Nez Perce War and other adventures. Throughout these stories Johnny Healy proves to be a master story-teller. His historically accurate tales are illustrated with many photographs and images together with introductory text and endnote documentation by the editor. History is best told through story telling, and few told the history of the early Northwest better than Johnny Healy. He walked, rode, scrapped, and fought, and wrote boldly as he blazed a trail across the region.

Multiculturalism. It has been the subject of cover stories in Time and Newsweek, as well as numerous articles in newspapers and magazines around America. It has sparked heated jeremiads by George Will, Dinesh D'Sousa, and Roger Kimball. It moved William F. Buckley to rail against Stanley Fish and Catherine Stimpson on Firing Line. It is arguably the most hotly debated topic in America today--and justly so. For whether one speaks of tensions between Hasidim and African-Americans in Crown Heights, or violent mass protests against Moscow in ethnic republics such as Armenia, or outright war between Serbs and Bosnians in the former Yugoslavia, it is clear that the clash of cultures is a worldwide problem, deeply felt, passionately expressed, always on the verge of violent explosion. Problems of this magnitude inevitably frame the discussion of multiculturalism and cultural diversity in the American classroom as well. In Loose Canons, one of America's leading literary and cultural critics, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., offers a broad, illuminating look at this highly contentious issue. Gates agrees that our world is deeply divided by nationalism, racism, and sexism, and argues that the only way to transcend these divisions--to forge a civic culture that respects both differences and similarities--is through education that respects both the diversity and commonalities of human culture. His is a plea for cultural and intercultural understanding. (You can't understand the world, he observes, if you exclude 90 percent of the world's cultural heritage.) We feel his ideas most strongly voiced in the concluding essay in the volume, Trading on the Margin. Avoiding the stridency of both the Right and the Left, Gates concludes that the society we have made simply won't survive without the values of tolerance, and cultural tolerance comes to nothing without cultural understanding. Henry Louis Gates is one of the most visible and outspoken figures on the academic scene, the subject of a cover story in The New York Times Sunday Magazine and a major profile in The Boston Globe, and a much sought-after commentator. And as one of America's foremost advocates of African-American Studies (he is head of the department at Harvard), he has reflected upon the varied meanings of multiculturalism throughout his professional career, long before it became a national controversy. What we find in these pages, then, is the fruit of years of reflection on culture, racism, and the American identity, and a deep commitment to broadening the literary and cultural horizons of all Americans.

Laurie Hertzel wasn't yet a teenager in Duluth, Minnesota, when she started her first newspaper, which she appropriately christened Newspaper. Complete with the most sensational headlines of the day-MARGO FLUEGEL HAS ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!-and with healthy competition from her little brothers and their rival publication, Magapaper (a magazine and a newspaper), this venture would become Hertzel's first step toward realizing what her heart was already set on: journalism as her future. News to Me is the adventurous story of Hertzel's journey into the bustling world of print journalism in the mid-1970s, a time when copy was still banged out on typewriters by chain-smoking men in fedoras and everybody read the paper. A coming-of-age tale in more ways than one, Hertzel's eighteen-year career at the Duluth News Tribune began when journalism was a predominantly male profession. And while the newspaper trade was booming, Duluth had fallen on difficult times as factories closed and more and more people moved away. Hertzel describes her climb up the ranks of the paper against the backdrop of a Midwestern city during a time of extraordinary change. She was there during major events like the Congdon murders, the establishment of the BWCA, and the rise of Indian treaty rights, and eventually follows the biggest story of her life to Soviet Russia-and completely blows her deadline. Written with the insight and humor of someone who makes a living telling stories, News to Me is the chronicle of a small-city newspaper on the cusp of transformation, an affectionate portrait of Duluth and its people, and the account of a talented, persistent journalist who witnessed it all and was changing right along with it-whether she wanted to or not. (Oh, Newspaper doggedly outlasted the full-color Magapaper).
