Free Blacks in Antebellum Texas collects the essays of Harold R. Schoen and Andrew Forest Muir, early scholars who conducted the most complete studies on the topic, although neither published a book. Schoen published six articles on “The Free Negro in Republic of Texas” and Muir four articles on free blacks in Texas before the Civil War.Free black Texans experienced the dangers and risks of life on the frontier in Texas. Those experiences, and many others, required of them a strength and fortitude that evidenced the spirit and abilities of free blacks in antebellum Texas. Sometimes with support from a few whites, as well as their own efforts, they struggled and survived. Editors Bruce A. Glasrud and Milton S. Jordan include a thoughtful introduction and a wide-ranging bibliography.“Schoen and Muir were first-rate historians, and their pioneering work stands today as outstanding scholarship.”—Randolph B. Campbell, author of Gone to Texas and An Empire for Slavery

One additional paper represents a contemporaneous article the editors chose to include in lieu of the presidential address, which is no longer available. The Presidents Speak will serve as a call for the long-term systematic preservation and publication of ETHA presidential addresses as a means of bequeathing a more complete record of associational scholarship and leadership insights to future generations.

This new selected poems from noted historian Milton Jordan leads readers into the beautiful Idaho wilderness to Slate Creek where, '...the mountain casts its first shadow'. Jordan's poems infuse life with nature, with 'sluggish gray beginnings' and the 'sound of Linda Ronstadt' on a Saturday full of 'miles of silence'. These tender, graceful, and profound moments where 'the sound of billiards played without talent' lingers on the dust that settles high in Lodgepole pine. Jordan's verse is well-crafted, compact, expertly weaving truths and discoveries, across the Ohio countryside, a world shuttling between narrative and lyric. These are the poems of living, of what we carry with us, of what the rivers gather.
