G. W. Foote

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Flowers of Freethought (First Series)," G. W. Foote provides a compelling collection of essays that tackle the intersection of religion, philosophy, and the emerging rationalist movements of the late 19th century. Written in a provocative and accessible style, Foote'Äôs work draws on wit and incisive reasoning to dismantle dogmatic beliefs while promoting the principles of critical thought and secularism. The essays, rich in historical context, reflect the intellectual currents of their time and serve as a testament to the growing prominence of freethought as a counter to traditional religious ideologies. G. W. Foote, a prominent English freethinker, journalist, and activist, was deeply influenced by the skepticism of his era. His outspoken views on religion and advocacy for secularism were shaped by his own experiences with religious institutions and his commitment to social reform. Foote's background in journalism allowed him to engage with contemporary debates on morality, ethics, and belief, making his work significant in the landscape of freethought literature. "Flowers of Freethought" is essential reading for anyone interested in the historical development of secular thought and the critique of religious dogma. Foote's incisive analysis and eloquence invite readers to reflect on their own beliefs and the broader implications of faith in society. This collection not only serves as a crucial resource for scholars but also as an inspiring call to intellectual independence for all.

Murder & Mayhem in Mendon and...

Diane Ham, Lynne Menz

The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality.   The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name “Murderville.” As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region’s vicious history.   Includes photos!
