Sinopsis

Originally published in 1865, "Popular Romances of the West of England" is a complete collection of English fairy tales by Robert Hunt, a famous British mineralogist, as well as an antiquarian, an amateur poet, and an early pioneer of photography.

Excerpt from the Introduction
"...Sending my box forward to Liskeard by a van, my wanderings commenced; my purpose being to visit each relic of Old Cornwall, and to gather up every existing tale of its ancient people. Ten months were delightfully spent in this way; and in that period a large number of the romances and superstitions which are published in these volumes were collected, with many more, which have been weeded out of the collection as worthless."

Meet the rebels, robbers, radicals, determined teenagers, and ordinary Americans who shaped our Constitutional rights.  
  
The first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution—known as the Bill of Rights—include the guarantee that no person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Yet this soaring vision of human rights was written by enslavers who deprived others of these rights. The struggle to resolve this paradox continues to the present day. 
  
From Teri Kanefield comes the story of the Bill of Rights, from the founding of America to the first sedition laws, slavery, women’s equality, the Civil War, Prohibition, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, the Civil Rights movement, gun control, and more. 
  
Using real court cases, Kanefield explains the meaning of each of the first ten amendments. The result is the story of Americans who have tested the limits of their rights or demanded that their rights be recognized. 
  
With thought-provoking text, Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals explores how our rights have evolved as the nation grew and changed. 
  
"A compelling exploration of the Bill of Rights that weaves together landmark cases, historical narratives, and reflections on the paradoxes of liberty … The clear prose guides readers through complex constitutional principles, making this work a useful educational resource … insightful, thought-provoking, and timely."—Kirkus Reviews
