In 1858, Jim Cobb is a young cadet entering Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. He's an earnest young man who has a natural ability with horses. Three years later Cobb grows up quickly. Reluctant to take sides in the impending war, he does not comprehend the staggering number of lives that will be lost during the coming conflict and that he will kill ten men. When North Carolina secedes, he joins the militia in his hometown. With a quick grasp of tactics and solid work ethic, Jim rises from company second lieutenant to third corps chief of staff and serves for two of the South's finest generals, Dorsey Pender and A.P. Hill. He commands the newly formed 78th North Carolina regiment at Petersburg, is captured, and is sent to Union prison. The misery of the tragic war is recounted through the eyes of Jim Cobb, Missy Morgan who loves him, and Sam Payne, a New York Tribune reporter Jim meets at John Brown's hanging. A work of historical fiction, "Memoirs of a Texan: War" follows Jim from his early days as a cadet, his war experiences, and the promise of a new beginning in Texas.--goodreads.com.
Here are the lives of six extraordinary canines with whom I was blessed to share my life and that of my family. These dogs were not pets, but each contributed to our family's life and growth in an unparalleled way. Their lives are celebrated daily by each of us. The first dog was purchased to protect our family from crime in Okinawa. He became a member of the family before serving as a scout dog in Vietnam. Second was a Viet dog who adopted me and saved my life more than once. The others were a half-wild malamute/wolf, a German shepherd, and two golden retrievers, gentle and kind where the others had been forceful. One still lives and serves.
I was born and raised in Chatham (Cape Cod) Massachusetts. I am the youngest of fi ve children. I graduated from Chatham High School. I was married in 1985, currently living in Provo, Utah with my husband, Edmond. I worked with trouble teens and loved every minute of it. There were always challenges. I love reaching out to teenagers and giving trouble teens a little tender, loving, and care which goes a long way. Listening to them when they needed someone, trying to understand them in a way that other people could not understand where they were coming from. When I was a teenager, I use to hang around downtown. My friends and I skipped school along with breaking some laws over and over, until an extraordinary man saw something special about me and took me off the streets; put me to work at his store. He taught me about life in general, like keeping promises, lying, stealing and taking school seriously. Teaching me that there are consequences in the decisions and actions that I take, also teaching me there are challenges in life, the worst thing I could do is to cop out and run from my problems. I am very glad I had a mentor like him, he changed my life. I feel lucky because I have two mentors; the second was the assistance manager of that very same store. He also taught me a lot and used to read the bible which made me more motivated in reading the bible in my teens and I never stop reading the bible. My family supported everything in my life. Thank you to everybody that helped me changed, teaching me not to give up my dreams and be successful in life.

Sherman's March, cutting a path through Georgia and the Carolinas, is among the most symbolically potent events of the Civil War. In Through the Heart of Dixie, Anne Sarah Rubin uncovers and unpacks stories and myths about the March from a wide variety of sources, including African Americans, women, Union soldiers, Confederates, and even Sherman himself. Drawing her evidence from an array of media, including travel accounts, memoirs, literature, films, and newspapers, Rubin uses the competing and contradictory stories as a lens into the ways that American thinking about the Civil War has changed over time. Compiling and analyzing the discordant stories around the March, and considering significant cultural artifacts such as George Barnard's 1866 Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, and E. L. Doctorow's The March, Rubin creates a cohesive narrative that unites seemingly incompatible myths and asserts the metaphorical importance of Sherman's March to Americans' memory of the Civil War. The book is enhanced by a digital history project, which can be found at shermansmarch.org.
