In the bestselling tradition of In the Heart of the Sea, The Colony, "an impressively researched" (Rocky Mountain News) account of the history of America's only leper colony located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is "an utterly engrossing look at a heartbreaking chapter" (Booklist) in American history and a moving tale of the extraordinary people who endured it. Beginning in 1866 and continuing for over a century, more than eight thousand people suspected of having leprosy were forcibly exiled to the Hawaiian island of Molokai -- the longest and deadliest instance of medical segregation in American history. Torn from their homes and families, these men, women, and children were loaded into shipboard cattle stalls and abandoned in a lawless place where brutality held sway. Many did not have leprosy, and many who did were not contagious, yet all were ensnared in a shared nightmare. Here, for the first time, John Tayman reveals the complete history of the Molokai settlement and its unforgettable inhabitants. It's an epic of ruthless manhunts, thrilling escapes, bizarre medical experiments, and tragic, irreversible error. Carefully researched and masterfully told, The Colony is a searing tale of individual bravery and extraordinary survival, and stands as a testament to the power of faith, compassion, and the human spirit.Binding Type: Paperback

Desk Hub
Good device! I was able to mount it between 2 desks that are head to head, and we’re able to share the plugs very well. Plenty of space to mount on my 2” thick desk.

Great value and capacity for the real estate ratio is perfect.
It certainly takes up less real estate on my desk with a very high port capacity. It's solid and I like the fact that it can attached to a thicker surface. It was very easy to install and the plugs give good options as there's always some cord that can't be plugged in. The USBs are a bonus as I already have ports on a different device. But, I'm sure I'll end up using these USB ports eventually. The value is really good for the capacity you get. Having the strip further in to use the back plugs easier makes a lot of sense. Could be an issue for some who don't have table real estate as it does push the strip in a bit.

Useful and Stable!
This has earned a permanant spot on my desk or any desk I might get in the future. Very convenient for charging devices, including USB-C outputs that are popping up more and more. Very stable, I never have to adjust it.

Great quality
Easy to use, and design makes it functional to move and adjust as needed. Safe with children and the size is good for where I placed it on a small sliding table. Quality is pretty durable.
