Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso: A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence in AmericaShortly after a dismembered torso was discovered by a pond outside Philadelphia in 1887, investigators homed in on two suspects: Hannah Mary Tabbs, a married, working class, black woman, and George Wilson, a former neighbor whom Tabbs implicated after her arrest.

Shortly after a dismembered torso was discovered by a pond outside Philadelphia in 1887, investigators homed in on two suspects: Hannah Mary Tabbs, a married, working-class, black woman, and George Wilson, a former neighbor whom Tabbs implicated after her arrest. As details surrounding the shocking case emerged, both the crime and ensuing trial--which spanned several months--were featured in the national press. The trial brought otherwise taboo subjects such as illicit sex, adultery, and domestic violence in the black community to public attention. At the same time, the mixed race of the victim and one of his assailants exacerbated anxieties over the purity of whiteness in the post-Reconstruction era. In Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso, historian Kali Nicole Gross uses detectives' notes, trial and prison records, local newspapers, and other archival documents to reconstruct this ghastly whodunit crime in all its scandalous detail. In doing so, she gives the crime context by analyzing it against broader evidence of police treatment of black suspects and violence within the black community. A fascinating work of historical recreation, Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso is sure to captivate anyone interested in true crime, adulterous love triangles gone wrong, and the racially volatile world of post-Reconstruction Philadelphia.Binding Type: Paperback

A favorite for my small destroyers
Color: Monsieur Acorn - Large, Color: Monsieur Acorn - Large
My small destroyer dogs LOVE these toys and are always surprised to find another toy after the first and second violent de-stuffing. Definitely a supervision toy for safety, but my terriers love doing their thing when these come out and they last much longer than I had anticipated. Color, design and value all as described, however I literally do not remember if it did squeak because the squeaker would be the first thing gone

Doesn’t hold up at all.

Received this today, and it lasted less than an hour before it had to be taken away to prevent it being eaten.

My dogs love these toys which I would described more as plush bouncy balls.
Style: Small 2.6" (6 Pack)
My dogs usually like to chase small balls. However I thought they might like a change so I ordered a set of these. Boy my dogs love them! These toys are smaller and are more round and ball-like. When I throw them they are light weight and they bounce along on smooth flooring. They are made of a soft plush outer fabric and filled with soft stuffing. The squeaker doesn't work very well on any of them but it doesn't bother my dogs at all. I like the bright colors because they are easy to spot when they roll under a chair or table.
