On the 50th anniversary of America's deadliest prison riot comes a
prison-guard daughter's quest to uncover the truth about her
father's murder during the uprising a story of crossing racial
divides, befriending inmates and correctional officers alike, and
challenging the state to reveal and pay for its malfeasance. Deanne
Quinn Miller was five years old when her father-William "Billy"
Quinn-was murdered in the first minutes of the Attica Prison Riot,
the only corrections officer to die at the hands of inmates. But
how did he die? Who were the killers? Those questions haunted Dee
and wreaked havoc on her psyche for thirty years. Finally, when she
joined the Forgotten Victims of Attica, she began to find answers.
This began the process of bringing closure not only for herself but
for the other victims' families, the former prisoners she met, and
all of those who perished on September 13, 1971-the day of the
"retaking," when New York State troopers and corrections officers
at the Attica Correctional facility slaughtered twenty-nine rioting
prisoners and ten hostages in a hail of gunfire. In The Prison
Guard's Daughter, Dee brings readers in on her lifelong mission for
the truth and justice for the Attica survivors and the families of
the men who lost their lives. But the real win was the journey that
crossed racial and criminal-justice divides: befriending infamous
Attica prisoner Frank "Big Black" Smith, meeting Richard Clark and
other inmates who tried to carry her father to safety after his
beating, and learning what life was like for all of the people
prisoners and prison employees alike inside Attica. As Miller lays
bare the truth about her father's death, the world inside Attica,
and the state's reckless raid and coverup, she conveys a narrative
of compassionate humanity and a call for prison reform.

"The key-note of the fascination of pewter at its best is its
simplicity. It does not, like gold and silver plate, hint in any
way at large intrinsic values, nor has it their aggressive sparkle
and glitter clamouring decoratively for attention." First published
in 1913, Malcolm Bell's guide is a clear, concise and fascinating
introduction to the world of antique pewter. Reflecting the
changing aesthetic values of the 20th century, he praises the
understated design and solid craftsmanship of everyday objects
crafted using pewter alloy between the 15th and 17th centuries. He
starts with a guide to the composition and manufacture of pewter,
before surveying the history of its use and design in both domestic
and ecclesiastical settings and offering useful advice for
collectors.
Master of vast rice and cotton plantations in South Carolina and
Georgia, delegate to the Constitutional Convention, Major Pierce
Butler bequeathed his family and nation a legacy of slavery--an
inheritance of immense wealth sown with the seeds of Civil War. In
"Major Butler's Legacy," Malcolm Bell charts the unfolding of the
Butler patrimony, an epic story that reaches from the eve of the
Revolution to the first decades of this century and includes in its
course such figures as George Washington, Aaron Burr, Fanny Kemble,
William Tecumseh Sherman, Henry James, Theodore Roosevelt, and Owen
Wister.
