The historic case of a black man's quest for freedom in 1850s California Part courtroom drama, part adventure story, Rudolph M. Lapp's Archy Lee captures the essence of the celebrated 1858 trial of an alleged fugitive slave in California. When Archy Lee is arrested in Sacramento for refusing to return to Mississippi with his ''master,'' his status in the free state of California becomes the focus of controversy. Lapp tells of the narrow escapes, disappearances, legal maneuvers, and tenacity involved in the black community's fight for civil rights, and the throngs of people--black and white--who took to the streets in celebration of Archy's eventual release. When it was first published in 1969, this deeply researched book was a pioneering study in nineteenth-century black western experience. It tells the little-known history of the organized civil rights movement of free blacks in post-gold rush California. Black organizations and their press, legal struggles, and mass mobilizations all come to life in the tale of Archy Lee--a thrilling and ultimately uplifting story of courage and defiance.

Archy is a cockroach with the soul of a free verse poet who, by headbutting the typewriter keys, writes these poems that chronicle the adventures of his friend Mehitabel, a cat with the soul of Cleopatra. Don Marquis' creations have been constantly in print since 1934.

A poet in a former life, Archy has been reincarnated as a cockroach who types by diving headfirst onto a typewriter (and is famously unable to operate the shift key to produce capital letters); his side-kick Mehitabel is an alley cat who claims to have once been Cleopatra. Archy's poems irresistibly evoke Jazz Age New York - as seen from the alley; funny, wise, tender and tough, they represent the very best of American humour. Including George Herriman's whimsical illustrations and a classic introduction by novelist E.B. White, this Pocket Poet selection will make a beautiful volume, perfectly sized for its tiny hero.

Playboy Geoffrey Williams is dead. But it's not a search for the killer that brings Archy McNally to the case; the lovely Melva Williams readily admits to the crime passionnel. After finding Geoff in a precarious position with an attractive young lady, she pulled the trigger on husband number two. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for McNally & Son's Department of Discreet Inquiries, until Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the press and paparazzi. Gallant Archy takes the case--and escorts grown-up and gorgeous Veronica home to the McNally manse. Rumors fly, and some of them may be true. But Veronica is no damsel in distress, and she's certainly not sorry her stepfather is in the grave. And when her story doesn't match Melva's, which doesn't match Geoff's, Archy realizes he does indeed have a dilemma on his hands. Someone's lying, and the one person who knows the truth--Geoff's perky playmate--got away. A delectable combination of high society and high jinks, and featuring some of the most eccentric characters ever to populate Florida's Gold Coast, McNally's Dilemma is as witty and charming as Archy McNally himself.

Archy basks in the sun and sin of Palm Beach--where the rich count their schemes before they're hatched."Lawrence Sanders has honed a voice for Archy McNally that is wonderfully infectious. You can't help falling for him!" --Washington Times

"Archy and his racy pal Mehitabel are timeless," noted E. B. White in his essay on Don Marquis and his famous creations, and the undimmed enthusiasm of several generations of fans -- who every year buy thousands of copies of Marquis' earlier collections -- testifies to their appeal. A whimsical and sophisticated sage, archy the cockroach entertained readers with iconoclastic observations on pretensions, politics, and our place in the cosmos during Marquis' career as a New York newspaper columnist in the 1920s and 30s.Allegedly tapping out stories at night by leaping from key to key on Marquis' typewriter, archy couldn't quite manage the shift key for capital letters. Although his tales appeared in lower case, his views achieved a level grand enough to solidify Marquis' reputation as an American humorist in the tradition of Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, and Ring Lardner. archyology brings together selected "lost" tales that were literally rescued from oblivion by Jeff Adams, who found them among papers stored in a steamer trunk since Marquis' death.And so archy emerges from his long silence. Whether reporting on characters like emmet the ghost, sailing to Paris to visit the insects of Europe, being trapped for days in a New York subway train, or hanging out in a Long Island orchard enjoying fermented cherries, archy is always both provocative and inimitable. With illustrations by Ed Frascino, a New Yorker regular, this collection reintroduces a delightful cast of characters who reconfirm archy's view of the world: "the only way to live with it is to laugh at it."

When the wife of a former carnival performer is found murdered at the center of her husband's newly constructed garden maze, private investigator Archy McNally finds the case complicated by the performer's dramatic personality. Reprint.
