The Negro And American Liberty
by John MooreIt seems like a paradox to speak of the Negro as efficiently related to the cause of freedom in America.

by Milton LesserSomething buzzed in Tedor Barwan's right ear, driving the throbbing hum of the Eradrome momentarily away.

The Captives of the Wilderness
by Boynton BelknapCaptain Parks, a blunt, corpulent, middle-aged man, who had served and been wounded in the Revolutionary war, was toilsomely making his way along the banks of the Ohio, near the close of day, followed by his servant, a great fat negro, of about as much use as a common ox would have been.
