On a frosty day in February 1862, hundreds gathered to watch the execution of Nathaniel Gordon. Two years earlier, Gordon had taken Africans in chains from the Congo -- a hanging offense for more than forty years that no one had ever enforced. But with the country embroiled in a civil war and Abraham Lincoln at the helm, a sea change was taking place. Gordon, in the wrong place at the wrong time, got caught up in the wave. For the first time, Hanging Captain Gordon chronicles the trial and execution of the only man in history to face conviction for slave trading -- exploring the many compelling issues and circumstances that led to one man paying the price for a crime committed by many. Filled with sharply drawn characters, Soodalter's vivid account sheds light on one of the more shameful aspects of our history and provides a link to similar crimes against humanity still practiced today.Binding Type: Paperback

Decent shelf
Color: Walnut, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack, Color: Walnut, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
They look great and come exactly as described. They were super easy to install and came with everything you need. Sizing is exactly as described. For the price they’re all around a great purchase. I bought these to mount under our tv for video game consoles and they are perfect.
However, they do not sit well on the wall. There’s only two mounting points when they should definitely have 3. We had to go get a shelf bracket from lowe’s to get it to sit right and not lean forward. So just beware if you want it to sit flush, you’re going to need something additional. Still worth it for the price!

Thanks to Amazon
Color: White, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
Well, one thing I have to say is we got one white shelf and one brown shelf and it did look like the box had been opened. But that being said Amazon was very wonderful and told us to keep it took it off my bill. They didn’t even charge me for it. The assembly was super easy. My husband said it was very easy to install. All he did was paint the brown and white and put it on the wall so we lucked out on that one thank you

Works well with new hardware.
Color: White, Size: 24W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
The product is good and strong if you install the bracket securely to the wall. Do not use the supplied fasteners for sheet rock. Buy new fasteners at Home Depot that clamp tightly to the sheet rock and everything will be fine.
