In 1987, John F. Schwartz transcribed a collection of letters from his great-grandfather, William Philip Schwartz, who took the first known war photographs in 1847. This remarkable correspondence covers his exile from wife and family in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, service in the US Army in the Indian Wars and the Mexican-American War, his court-martial and desertion, his adventures in the Gold Rush and the Pacific, his enlistment in the Marine Corps and service aboard the USS Constellation in the Mediterranean Sea. His vivid and highly detailed letters paint an unforgettable portrait of a life on the American frontier and at sea-a must-read for anyone interested in American history.

Rabbi Shuchat tells of the emergence of Shaar Hashomayim as a congregation separate from the Spanish and Portuguese fold, the generation-long tension between the two congregations, and the rebellion that produced the Temple Emanuel. He describes the role of the Canadian government in the ups and downs of Jewish immigration and details the effects of world-wide anti-Semitism on the local community, as well as the struggle for Jewish educational rights that ultimately produced a real public school system in the province of Quebec. The student protest that almost paralysed the Passover festival and the day school crisis that almost split the congregation are recounted in detail, and the Pavilion of Judaism at Expo '67 is described. Weaving together individual stories and the history of the Shaar, Rabbi Shuchat demonstrates how the turbulence of the nineteenth century produced a twentieth-century Shaar and Montreal Jewish community that are second to none in tolerance and creativity.

"Paul Avrich's latest book is an admirable blend of serious scholarship and appealing writing. His purpose is to tell the story of popular uprisings in Russia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular emphasis on those led by Bolotnikov, Razin, Bulavin, and Pugachev. To do so, he has made careful and intelligent use of a large body of published materials and from them has woven a lively and engrossing narrative. More than that, drawing on the previous work of Hobsbawm and others, he has offered perceptive explanations of the outbreak, course, and outcome of each revolt. Throughout the work, the author compares the principal revolts and searches, above all, for a general characterization of the tradition of mass revolt in premodern Russia." --Robert O. Crummey, Yale University in Journal of Modern History
