Books with author Thomas S. Jones

William Walker was an African American man who was sold again and again to different slave owners and had to flee to Canada to realise his dreams of freedom. But little did he know that his dreams were soon to be shattered and that too ironically after his emancipation. His search for job took him to the dreaded South and on an unfateful day his white neighbour's wife came running to his house to seek shelter from her abusive husband. What followed then was nothing less than a Hollywood film script! A must read for everyone who is interested in how Southern discriminatory laws buried African Americans behind prison walls to muffle their voices and protests…Thomas S. Gaines – nothing is known about this author but it is widely conjectured it is an assumed identity to expose the despicable state of Jackson State prison and bring back William Walker's tragic story from the oblivion.

Cody is a teenage boy who lives in Washington, D.C. His life is consumed by academics, so in other words, he's a nerd. His best friend is his mom. That is until she is kidnapped in the middle of the night by a notorious criminal called “The Taxidermist" who is known for stuffing his victims’ bodies and leaving them in random places all across the city. Years after the incident, Cody has a strange encounter with an even stranger man that he is convinced is the man who kidnapped his mother. Along with Antoine, his friend who owns a French market, Cody embarks on the journey of his life to save not only the whole town, but also his mother - if she is even alive.

Excerpt from J. Wilkes Booth: An Account of His Sojourn in Southern Maryland After the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, His Passage Across the Potomac, and His Death in VirginiaIn writing this little book, it is my intention to tell the reader of the part I performed in the great war between the States, and my connection with the flight of the criminal whose deed closed the bloodiest chapter in our country's history.No act ever committed has called forth such universal execration as the murder of that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln.To-day I speak of the murdered President as "great and good;" thirty years ago I regarded him only as the enemy of my country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
