In 'The Entailed Hat or, Patty Cannon's Times', George Alfred Townsend offers a gripping and authentic portrayal of the illegal slave trade and murder ring led by Patty Cannon, co-leader of the Cannon-Johnson Gang. Set on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, where Townsend was born and raised, the novel unfolds slowly but surely, revealing the truth about the Reverse Underground Railroad. Despite being a man of his time, Townsend's vivid descriptions of locale, dialogue, and characters make for an engaging and believable read. Readers are transported to Princess Anne, an old seat of justice and gentle-minded town on the Eastern Shore, where eccentric citizens like Jack Wonnell and Meshach Milburn (or "Steeple-top") are identified by their hats. The first chapter alone sets the stage for a gripping tale of mystery, intrigue, and historical significance.

Daniel Cottom traces the vagabond word "bohemia" as it migrated across national borders over the course of the nineteenth century—from France to the United States, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany—and how it was transformed, contested, or rejected along the way.
