This New York Times bestselling memoir examines an NFL player's rise and fall from the Patriots to prison, recounting the first-degree murder conviction that led to his untimely death--and shocking posthumous CTE diagnosis. Aaron Hernandez was a college All-American who became the youngest player in the NFL and later reached the Super Bowl. His every move as a tight end with the New England Patriots played out the headlines, yet he led a secret life--one that ended in a maximum-security prison. What drove him to go so wrong, so fast? Between the summers of 2012 and 2013, not long after Hernandez made his first Pro Bowl, he was linked to a series of violent incidents culminating in the death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player who dated the sister of Hernandez's fianc e, Shayanna Jenkins. All-American Murder is the first book to investigate Aaron Hernandez's first-degree murder conviction and the mystery of his own shocking and untimely death.

The skipper and the skipped: Being the shore log of Cap'n Aaron Sproul follows a retired sea captain whose transition to life on land brings unexpected challenges, humor, and community entanglements. After years at sea, the captain settles into a position as tollkeeper, but his seafaring mindset and commanding presence clash with small-town routines and local power dynamics. The narrative begins with him tending to an elderly relative in the toll-house, revealing his blunt temperament and resistance to domestic confinement. As he adjusts to his new surroundings, he is quickly pulled into family tensions, civic squabbles, and personal rivalries, which test his patience and expose his struggle to redefine himself away from the ocean s authority. The story layers light comedy with deeper questions about belonging, personal pride, and the discomfort of change. The sharp dialogue and vivid characters anchor the tale in a recognizable world where leadership means more than titles and dignity must often be defended against the trivialities of everyday life.

Learn more about the men who inspired Hamilton: The Musical in this fascinating look at the historical friends turned revolutionary rivals In curiously parallel lives, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were both orphaned at an early age. Both were brilliant students who attended college--one at Princeton, the other at Columbia--and studied law. Both were young staff officers under General George Washington, and both became war heroes. Politics beckoned them, and each served in the newly formed government of the fledgling nation. Why, then, did these two face each other at dawn in a duel that ended with death for one and harsh criticism for the other? Judith St. George's lively biography, told in alternating chapters, brings to life two complex men who played major roles in the formation of the United States.

The Trial of Levi Weeks: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the First Recorded Murder Trial in Us History

The Trial of Levi Weeks: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the First Recorded Murder Trial in Us History

Estelle Fox Kleiger

Chicago Review Press
2025
nidottu
In January 1800, just weeks after the death of George Washington, the body of a young New York woman was recovered from the depths of Manhattan Well--so called because it had been dug by Aaron Burr's Manhattan Company. The woman was Gulielma "Elma" Sands, who on December 22 had left the boardinghouse where she lived, never to return. Suspicion immediately fell on another boarder, Levi Weeks, who according to Sands's cousin and landlady was to marry the victim the very night she disappeared. By the time Weeks went on trial for Sands's murder a few months later, the crime had become the talk of New York City. So many New Yorkers came to visit Sands's body before her funeral that her open coffin was displayed in the street, and crowds jammed the thoroughfares around the courthouse shouting for Weeks to be hanged. The fate of the accused lay in the hands of a defense team recruited by his brother, prominent builder Ezra Weeks, from the upper ranks of New York society. Weeks's team of star lawyers--which included both Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr--had to work together to defend a client whom all of New York seemed to have already decided was guilty. This book tells the full story of the trial of Levi Weeks and includes the entire transcript of the first American murder trial ever recorded. It is at once a riveting retelling of a true crime in which the voices of early New Yorkers come to us freshly from over two centuries in the past, and a riveting legal and social history of New York in the early years of the Republic.

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. He wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues and conflicts of his day. In 1867 Trollope left his position in the British Post Office to run for Parliament as a Liberal candidate in 1868. After he lost, he concentrated entirely on his literary career. While continuing to produce novels rapidly, he also edited the St Paul's Magazine, which published several of his novels in serial form. His first major success came with The Warden (1855) - the first of six novels set in the fictional county of Barsetshire. The comic masterpiece Barchester Towers (1857) has probably become the best-known of these.

Biography of the Rev. Henry Aaron Stern, D.D.

Biography of the Rev. Henry Aaron Stern, D.D.

Albert Augustus Isaacs

Cambridge University Press
2012
pokkari
Henry Aaron Stern (1820–85), of German Jewish birth, moved to London in 1839, converted to Christianity and became a lifelong missionary for the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. With his wife he preached in Palestine, Babylon, Constantinople, Baghdad, Persia, and to the Karaite Jews of the Crimea. Famously, in 1863, he was caught in a diplomatic dispute in Ethiopia that led to his imprisonment and eventual rescue, five years later, by a British military force. Stern was made a doctor of divinity in 1881. He wrote three memoirs, which were drawn on by Albert Augustus Isaacs (1826–1903), a vicar at Leicester who knew Stern personally. Isaacs's biography, first published in 1886, is hagiographic and written with religiosity. Nonetheless, it includes informative accounts of missionary work among Jewish communities, and remains a valuable source on the orientalism of Victorian Britain.
