Not Without Honor: The Nazi POW Journal of Steve Carano

The University of Arkansas Press

“As a POW in Nazi Germany, life was not easy. Steve Carano’s journal documents his life as a POW and those that were with him. He looks at how men from other countries were treated, the day to day life and how the Red Cross helped them. The journal, which was given to the prisoners by the Red Cross, includes his artwork, addresses of the men that were with him and details about himself and other prisoners on the camp. A gripping true tale.”—Elizabeth Willoughby (AASL)


Sumler-Edmond, Janice L.

The Secret Trust of Aspasia Cruvellier Mirault: The Life and Trials of a Free Woman of Color in Antebellum Georgia

The University of Arkansas Press

“Fabulously documented biography of a 19th Century free black in Savannah, Georgia, Aspasia Cruvellier Mirault. Mirault’s secret agreement with a young white Georgian led to her family’s success and shows how through the efforts of all people, our American culture has prevailed and we have survived as a people.”—Sabrina Carnesi (AASL)
