'We only have the frozen Mississippi to cross...if we get through this...' Virginia continued to walk beside the wagon as she trudged through the snow, her hand in Allen's, her thoughts lingering on her dead sister, buried outside Gallatin, just yesterday. Then she stopped and looked back. Joseph Smith was not with them this time. He was in the hands of the mob awaiting execution for treason. It had been a long time since those desperate days in Missouri. The temple in Salt Lake City had taken forty years to build. Virginia looked up at the granite structure and thanked God she had been allowed to live to see it finished. Today her grandsom would be sealed there.--Back cover.
This work is a presentation of early photographs, history and genealogy. People who lived through the revolutionary war and their children, also alive at the time, are the subjects of the history.
This collection of images assigns faces to an un-illustrated war and tells the stories of our nation's Founding Fathers and Mothers. It is a much-needed contribution to the history of the American Revolution, the history of the early Republic, and the history of photography.

The Last Muster is set on a cattle station on Bunuba country in the Kimberley district of Western Australia. It follows the adventures of two teenagers, one of Bunuba heritage and one European. They come across a herd of wild brumbies and a mysterious hidden valley as they struggle together to find a way for both their families to stay on the country they love.
Even after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, the Civil War continued to be fought, and surrenders negotiated, on different fronts. The most notable of these occurred at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina, when Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee to Union General William T. Sherman. In this first full-length examination of the end of the war in North Carolina, Mark Bradley traces the campaign leading up to Bennett Place. Alternating between Union and Confederate points of view and drawing on his readings of primary sources, including numerous eyewitness accounts and the final muster rolls of the Army of Tennessee, Bradley depicts the action as it was experienced by the troops and the civilians in their path. He offers new information about the morale of the Army of Tennessee during its final confrontation with Sherman's much larger Union army. And he advances a fresh interpretation of Sherman's and Johnston's roles in the final negotiations for the surrender.
George Robert Twelves Hewes, a Boston shoemaker who participated in such key events of the American Revolution as the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party, might have been lost to history if not for his longevity and the historical mood of the 1830's. When the Tea Party became a leading symbol of the Revolutionary ear fifty years after the actual event, this 'common man' in his nineties was 'discovered' and celebrated in Boston as a national hero. Young pieces together this extraordinary tale, adding new insights about the role that individual and collective memory play in shaping our understanding of history.
