    New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, (2002). First edition - 2021 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction. Based on contemporary newspaper reports, diaries and letters, this tells the history of a brutal insurrection which was "the only violent overthrow of an elected government in American history. It halted gains made by blacks and restored racism as official government policy, cementing white rule for another 70 years. It was not a race riot as the events of November 1898 came to be known, but rather a racially-motivated rebellion launched by white supremacists." In 1898 Wilmington, North Carolina, was an "example of a mixed-race community - a bustling port city with a thriving African American middle class and a government made up of Republicans and Populists, including black aldermen, police officers, and magistrates. With a coordinated campaign of intimidation and violence, the Democrats sharply curtailed the black vote and stuffed ballot boxes to steal the 1898 mid-term election. Two days later, more than 2,000 heavily armed white nightriders known as Red Shirts swarmed through Wilmington, terrorizing women and children and shooting at least 60 black men dead in the streets while hundreds of local African Americans took refuge in nearby swamps and forests." It also follows the lives of some of the residents after the insurrection - some ending in despair, one becoming the first African American judge appointed to a federal court - but all with one thing in common: they never went back.

    Philadelphia & New York: Johnson Song Publisher / Jackson. nd (ca 1860s). The first of these sheets - "Nobody Knows What a Racket," to be sung to the tune of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I had" - is an example of the influence that Irish immigrants had on these sheets. One of the stereotypes of the Irish was that they never backed away from a fight, and this is a rollicking account of a barroom fight that wound up with the combatants (representing several ethnic groups) in prison for "setting fire to the house on St Patrick's Day." Plain sheet with the publisher's name above the lyrics and an advertisement for 2 books (published in 1859 and 1869) at the bottom. The second is a popular sentimental song by George Root, frequently printed but usually under the title of "Rosalie." This copy does not credit Root as the author. The lyrics are surrounded by a decorative border, the printer's name appears in a single line at the bottom. While neither of these are included in Wolf's American Song Sheets, a quote from the introduction gives a good sense of the popularity of these sheets: "A fad in American life produced a shower of song sheets, slip ballads and poetical broadsides. Although such sheets had been printed by enterprising publishers for centuries, it was not until about 1850 that it became big small-business. Then, to meet a growing popular demand sheets, which had once been printed by the score, appeared by the thousands. They were run off in large editions, sold wholesale to dealers and sold retail by hawkers and in stationery shops and book stores."
