    Tom,

    Thanks for taking on the anti-immigrant bigots and the lamenting Italian Americans on the H-ITAM list who can only feel their hurt. Bravo!

About me:

"In The Crescent City Lynchings, Tom Smith offers the best treatment yet produced of the controversial trial that precipitated that event" - New Orleans Times-Picayune ~ ~ ~ "Digs deep into the Big Easy's murky past to uncover the underlying connections between the compromised police force, the battling Italian dockworkers' syndicates and the city's corrupt political factions that made New Orleans' legal system ineffective in the simplest of cases. . . . Smith is able to bring a local and timely flavor to his otherwise straightforward account of Hennessy's life, the murder and its spiderweb of repercussions. The sensational nature of the case certainly lends itself to conspiracy theories, but Smith stays unbiased, allowing his readers to use the facts to come to their own conclusions" ~ Publishers Weekly

Who I'd like to meet:

Vernel Fournier, Mrs. Candy, Hungry Williams, Jackie Robinson, Mark Twain, Louis Armstrong, Marie Laveau, and L.M. Gottschalk, for starters
