On a frosty day in February 1862, hundreds gathered to watch the execution of Nathaniel Gordon. Two years earlier, Gordon had taken Africans in chains from the Congo -- a hanging offense for more than forty years that no one had ever enforced. But with the country embroiled in a civil war and Abraham Lincoln at the helm, a sea change was taking place. Gordon, in the wrong place at the wrong time, got caught up in the wave.

For the first time, Hanging Captain Gordon chronicles the trial and execution of the only man in history to face conviction for slave trading -- exploring the many compelling issues and circumstances that led to one man paying the price for a crime committed by many. Filled with sharply drawn characters, Soodalter's vivid account sheds light on one of the more shameful aspects of our history and provides a link to similar crimes against humanity still practiced today.

Great Substitute for Dr. Jart Dis-A-Pore
I did a ton of research after my tried and true Dr. Jart's Dis-A-Pore was discontinued. There are rumors that it will return but I'm reluctant to believe that. This product was recommended as a substitute after much research and I thought it was worth a shot. This is the real deal. I was a light-medium with dr Jart and I am the lighter version of this product. I love how it feels on my skin, it's like a matte velvet. I am definitely acne prone even as I approach 30 and redness occurs often. I'm very pleased with how natural and yet polished this product makes me feel and look. My only complaint would be that $30 is pretty steep for 1 ounce of the product. However, it works and that's what is most important to me! Update: I've had this product for almost 6 months and wear it almost every day - I would say a little goes a long way and that $30 is totally reasonable considering how long it has lasted!

Great lotion for very dry skin
Style: Updated Formula
I had a laser done on my face and the products they gave me weren't working. This came highly recommended so I gave it a try. I'm very glad I did! It moisturized my face really well without appearing greasy. I used the rest when my face got dry from winter (in th midwest). Felt very rich and smooth. Medium thickness.
