Bringing down the Colonel : a sex scandal of the Gilded Age, and the "powerless" woman who took on Washington / by Miller, Patricia,1964-author.(CARDINAL)783561;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 341-348) and index.Gold to be made -- A bright and brainy woman -- A bastard catch'd -- The left-hand road -- The Wanton widow -- Not so easily handled -- What shall we do with our daughters? -- For the likes of me -- The needle, the school room, and the store -- A house of mercy -- Miss Pollard's ruin in Lexington -- Somebody's daughter -- A man of passion -- Hindered, not ruined -- The front parlor and the back gate -- The cavalier and the puritans -- Refusing to behave -- Redemption.Madeline Pollard and the married Colonel Breckinridge began their decade-long affair when she was just a teenager. After the death of his wife, Breckinridge asked for Pollard's hand-- then broke off the engagement to marry another woman. Pollard sued Breckinridge for breach of promise in a shockingly public trial. With premarital sex considered irredeemably ruinous for a woman, Pollard was asserting the unthinkable: that the sexual morality of men and women should be judged equally. Miller tells the story of one of the earliest women to publicly fight back-- and became an unlikely nineteenth-century women's rights crusader.

The Black regulars, 1866-1898 / by Dobak, William A.,1943-(CARDINAL)277020; Phillips, Thomas D.(CARDINAL)280939;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.1. "I much wrother souldier then to be any thing else" -- 2. "How would you like to command a colored regiment?" -- 3. "To the colored man the service offers a career" -- 4. "A minimum number, which should be of the best" -- 5. "So long a service in the wilderness" -- 6. "To promote the moral and intellectual welfare of the men" -- 7. "Not so varied and filled with pleasure" -- . 8. "Serious breaches of discipline and morality" -- 9.

"Some regular army prejudice to overcome" -- 13. "Just chored around and did whatever he could get to do.""Black soldiers first entered the regular army of the United States in the summer of 1866. While their segregated regiments served in the American West for the next three decades, the promise of the Reconstruction era gave way to the repressiveness of Jim Crow. But black men found a degree of equality in the service: the army treated them no worse than it did their white counterparts. Military imperatives, limited manpower, and tight budgets demanded that the army equip, feed, clothe, house, and pay black and white soldiers equally. Making up almost ten percent of the army's forces, the black regulars helped impose order in the West, from the lower Rio Grande to the northern Rockies. Largely ignored by the country at the time, these men nevertheless helped open a door for black Americans into the nation's public life." "The Black Regulars uses army correspondence, court martial transcripts, and pension applications to tell who these men were, often in their own words: how they were recruited and how their officers were selected; how the black regiments survived hostile Congressional hearings and stringent budget cuts; how enlisted men spent their time, both on and off duty; and how regimental chaplains tried to promote literacy through the army's schools."--BOOK JACKET.
