Bøger af John Dow

John Dow has been a fighter all his life. It was a matter of pure survival. As the son of two impoverished teenagers, Dow didn't have many advantages growing up. His father, an abusive alcoholic, never tried to protect him from the harsh realities of the world. In fact, he contributed to the hardships of Dow's daily life. Dow thought things would get better when his mother finally kicked his father out of their home in Brooklyn, but instead, they became even harder for the small family. There was never enough money or time. Dow spent most of his childhood out on the streets of Brooklyn, among the slum lords, junkies, gangsters, dealers, and others who called the borough home. The only way to stay safe-and sane-was to fight. In this memoir, Dow recounts the many lessons he learned out on the street. The seventies were in full swing in New York City, and Dow would be there to witness the enormous changes they brought to the world around him. His story is one of violence, chaos, and brutality, but for him and his community, it's just another New York night.

The Trial of Alexander McLaren and Thomas Baird is a historical book that recounts the trial of two men who were accused of sedition before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh in March 1817. The author, John Dow, provides a detailed account of the proceedings, including the evidence presented by the prosecution and defence, the arguments made by both sides, and the verdict rendered by the court.The book sheds light on the political climate of Scotland during the early 19th century, a time of great social and economic change. McLaren and Baird were both members of a radical political group that advocated for social and political reform, and their trial was seen as a test case for the government's crackdown on dissent.Dow's writing is clear and concise, making the book accessible to readers of all backgrounds. He provides context for the trial, explaining the political and social issues at stake, and he also includes excerpts from the speeches made by the lawyers and witnesses, giving readers a sense of the drama and tension of the courtroom.Overall, The Trial of Alexander McLaren and Thomas Baird is an important historical document that provides insight into the legal and political history of Scotland during a pivotal moment in its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
