The book "" Byways in British Archaeology "" has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.

River of Dark Dreams places the Cotton Kingdom at the center of worldwide webs of exchange and exploitation that extended across oceans and drove an insatiable hunger for new lands. This bold reaccounting dramatically alters our understanding of American slavery and its role in U.S. expansionism, global capitalism, and the upcoming Civil War.

Taking us inside the New Orleans slave market, Walter Johnson transforms the statistics of this chilling trade into the human drama of traders, buyers, and slaves, negotiating sales that would alter the life of each. What emerges is not only the brutal economics of trading but the vast and surprising interdependencies among the actors involved.

Johnson's detailed and enthusiastically written 1912 history of Britain's churches and their churchyards emphasises the concept of 'folk memory', a diminishing means of recalling and understanding the past. The study looks at material archaeological discoveries whilst addressing the significance of place names, site orientation, folktales and pagan prehistory.
