- I notice that the Greenwood Publishing catalog has a new book titled
- _The Black Laws in the Old Northwest: A Documentary History_, by
- Stephen Middleton. The marketing hype says:
-
- This book brings together the Black Laws of the Old Northwest
- (now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin)
- for the first time, thereby providing a documentary history
- of racial discrimination in this free territory. The documents
- in the volume include statutes, legislative reports and
- resolutions, and petitions and memorials produced by the state
- legislatures, government agencies, or concerned citizens.
- After a brief prologue, the documents are organized by state.
- Within each state they are placed in sets of documents of
- specific topics such as immigration laws, welfare and public
- education laws, and jury and testimony laws.
-
- 0-313-28016-9, 448 pages, $55.00.
-
- When I called up to order it, they said it would be out in
- late January.

- Clayton E. Cramer {uunet,pyramid}!optilink!cramer My opinions, all mine!
- We could say that Congress spends money like drunken sailors. But that would
- be unfair -- to the sailors. They, at least, are spending their own money.
