Her works, including With Courage and Cloth: Winning the Fight for a Woman's Right to Vote and Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement, examine significant events from American history. Our Country's Presidents offers not only portraits of the men who served as leaders of the United States but also essays on the electoral college, presidential landmarks, First Ladies, the White House, and other topics. "Bausum gives a real sense of the person behind the office in every case," observed Booklist critic GraceAnne A. DeCandido, and Library Journal reviewer Karen Sutherland praised the work's "beautiful illustrations …, current information, and user-friendly layout." Bausum noted on her home page that she searches for new book ideas even before she finishes her current project. "I may not have written a single word yet," she acknowledged, "but my mind is brimming with ideas, images, facts, and visions for the form this new work will take. As much fun as the last phase—and the last book—have been, the unknown of what lies ahead is best of all." More

Boston, Massachusetts: A. Williams & Co., 1864. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. 112 pages. Footnote. Ex-library with the usual library markings. Cover worn. Some page soiling. Rare first edition. This book is divided into six chapters: Historical Sketch; The Direct Consequences resulting from the Act of Secession; Some Radical Views considered; The Effect of Contract between the seceded States returning, and the United States; The Emancipation Proclamation; Concluding Summary; and Postscript on the President's Plan of Reconstruction. Joel Prentiss Bishop (March 10, 1814 – November 4, 1901) was an American lawyer and legal treatise writer, referred to as "the foremost law writer of the age." Bishop wrote Commentaries on the Law of Marriage and Divorce (1852), which brought him "a constant succession of requests and advice to write other books." Bishop then resolved to abandon legal practice for a life of scholarship. Bishop wrote a book on jurisprudence and legal study and a succession of treatises on family law, criminal law and procedure, statutory interpretation, contract, and tort law, "many of which he shepherded through divers thoroughly revised editions." His commentaries on marriage and divorce and on criminal law and procedure were "highly original and thorough works that significantly influenced their fields." Bishop's books were well received, "judges adopted his views, and practitioners sought his advice." In 1884, the University of Berne awarded him an honorary degree. Because his views were at odds with a post-Darwinian world, Bishop and his works are virtually unknown in the 21st century except by specialists in the history of family law. More

New York: Random House, 1986. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm. xiv, 354 pages. Illustrations Editor's Note by Paul R. Baier. Appendix: The Opinions of Hugo Lafayette Black. Index. DJ soiled, DJ edges worn and small tears. Foreword by Justice William. J. Brennan. Inscribed by the co-author (Mrs. Black). Hugo Lafayette Black (February 27, 1886 – September 25, 1971) was an American lawyer, politician, and jurist who served as a U.S. Senator from 1927 to 1937 and as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1937 to 1971. A member of the Democratic Party and a devoted New Dealer, Black endorsed Franklin D. Roosevelt in both the 1932 and 1936 presidential elections. Having gained a reputation in the Senate as a reformer, Black was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63 to 16 (six Democratic Senators and 10 Republican Senators voted against him). The fifth longest-serving justice in Supreme Court history, Black was one of the most influential Supreme Court justices in the 20th century. He is noted for his advocacy of a textualist reading of the United States Constitution and of the position that the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights were imposed on the states ("incorporated") by the Fourteenth Amendment. Black wrote the majority opinion in Korematsu v. United States (1944), which upheld the Japanese-American internment that had taken place. Black opposed the doctrine of substantive due process and believed that there was no basis in the words of the Constitution for a right to privacy, voting against finding one in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). More
