43 and 44

And God Was Watching

Local fellow, so very interesting.  I know people in this book, although I've never met the author.  My sister's sister-in-law is mentioned.  :)  Very upbeat, positive look at his life.

Beyond the River

Oh, my, I hardly know what to say about this book.  I had to keep putting it down to catch my breath.  I had no idea - beyond what I knew of John Brown and Harriet Tubman - what all went on during the time of the Underground Railroad and abolition.  Amazing stories, astonishing history.  Could people really have been so blind?  And have we really not progressed any at all in the past 150 years?
