Something New

[PaigeBooth]

A new book regarding slavery and the Civil War has recently hit the shelves! My grandfather told me about it weeks ago, however, it was not yet available- until now. It's titled The Scorpion's Sting, by author and Lincoln Prize winner James Oakes. Perhaps many of you have already heard about it or maybe even picked it up at the book store....but I thought I would let everyone know anyway. I just bought my copy today, and am looking forward to finding time to read it since I have been so very busy lately. The front cover states how Mr. Oakes explores many valid questions concerning antislavery and the coming of the Civil War.
