town for the establishment of a library that forbids women-setting

story of the only person rescued from slavery by the Underground
Railroad four times. That time a man in the 1950s stole hundreds of

most of them the left shoe, were found dispersed randomly all over
town. If you're a fan of the Florida Man Challenge and books like
