Book Description
This is a metaphorical story, based on a true story, of a Woodpecker in his search for freedom and purpose. What he did not realize that freedom had a price that almost cost his life on more than one occasion. In the Woodpeckers journey from childhood being discontent that he had to live in a hole and with his arrangement of feathers He sought out many different birds. One summer afternoon the young Woodpecker and two Geese that he had became friends with discovered the forbidden fruit of young fowl, the Grape (alcohol). The Grape was the answer to all the fears in the world. The Grape had power and gave him freedom from his mind. After the Woodpeckers first escape from reality He was addicted to Grapes. In his pursuit of what He thought happiness was, like things of this material world, for instance, gold, diamonds, and seed which is money. The Woodpeckers becomes dishonest to himself and others, therefore, erects the walls of jails. Being a jailbird with contempt prior to investigation he learns to resent and hate Blackbirds from other birds that were not black and known as "Peckerwoods." Hence, He becomes a "Peckerwood" as well. After getting out of jail the Woodpecker finds himself in a deep and always progressive state of addiction. He resents everything in this vast world and is beyond buzzed. The place where the Grape use to take him, joyous intimacy with friends, grandiose ideas, and freedom was not there. He often proceeded to go beyond boundaries set in the normal society of birds who could partake in the Grape. After the Woodpeckers second trip to see the Grey Parrots (doctors). The Parrots inform him that he has chronic Grapism (alcoholism) and that there is no cure for thisdisease. Although, there is hope and it is called "Grapes anonymous." There He meets a Blackbird the very one he learned to hate in jail yet never knew why. The Blackbird informs him that the only solution to addiction is from a loving God. After going through the same spiritual steps the Blackbird went through to recover. He's overcome with God's grace; joy, love, and peace flow within him, He feels unconditional love for the blackbird. He sees love in the very air that gives him life. The Woodpecker became to believe in God, utterly abandons himself to God and discovers himself, whom He always was, a child of God. "Peckerwood Grape the Woodpecker" In His tumultuous journey from fear to faith He was given a new life and transformed into a breathtaking new world where even the broken paths he flew made sense. He finds purpose in a life that was merely an existence. He takes action and uses his pecker to carve stories and peck pictures to help others know about and to recover from this fatal disease. It's by giving the gifts he has received through God, the fruits of the spirit and a life where all things are new he is blessed. As a result of loving God with all his heart mind body and soul He receives an incredibly abundant life beyond His hearts desires.

Book Description
Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack – 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. “A classic account of Civil War combat. This is a justifiably famous account of the Civil War told by an ordinary soldier from within the ranks of a Tennessee regiment within the Confederate Army. Often quoted, it tells in a direct way, the story of an infantry company at war. In this it has much in common with similar accounts of men living and fighting together in combat irrespective of nationality, age or conflict. This is an intimate portrait of war with all its comradeship, hardship, fear, horror and humour. We accompany Watkins and his comrades of Company ‘Aytch’ on campaign as he recollects, in his easy and personable style, encounters at Shiloh, Corinth, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge and other bloody battlefields where they fought and died for the Confederate cause until the eventual surrender of the Southern forces. Highly recommended.”-Print ed.

Book Description
The Oxford Book of the American South resonates with the words of black people and white, women and men, the powerless as well as the powerful. The collection presents the most telling fiction and nonfiction produced in the South from the late eighteenth century to the present. Renowned authors such as James Agee, Richard Wright, Maya Angelou, Lee Smith, Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor appear in these pages, but so do people whose writing did not immediately reach a large audience. For example, Harriet A. Jacobs' book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, which is now recognized as one of the most illuminating narratives of a former slave, was neglected for generations. And Sarah Morgan's powerful Civil War Diary has only recently come to widespread attention. The Oxford Book of the American South presents compelling autobiographies, diaries, memoirs, and journalism as well as stories and selections from novels, and runs the spectrum from the conservative to the radical, the traditional to the innovative. Editors Edward L. Ayers and Bradley C. Mittendorf have arranged these diverse readings so that they fit together into a rich mosaic of Southern life and history. The sections of the book The Old South, The Civil War and Its Consequences, Hard Times, and The Turning unfold a vivid record of life below the Mason Dixon line. We see the antebellum period both from the perspective of those who experienced it first-hand, such as Thomas Jefferson and former slaves Olaudah Equiano and Frederick Douglass, and then from the perspective of authors looking back on that era, including William Styron and Sherley Anne Williams. Likewise, we see the Civil War through the eyes of witnesses such as Sam Watkins, through the eyes of later writers trying to make sense of the conflict, such as Robert Penn Warren, and through the eyes of those using the war's intense passions to fuel their fiction, such as Margaret Mitchell and Barry Hannah. The classic authors of the Southern Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s appear here in the context of the hard times in which they wrote. The years since World War II are chronicled in the powerful words of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," George Garrett's "Good bye, Good bye, Be Always Kind and True," and Peter Taylor's "The Decline and Fall of the Episcopal Church, in the Year of Our Lord 1952." The editors have selected these readings, their Preface tells us, to convey "the passions that have surfaced time and again in more than two hundred years of Southern writing." Indeed, the struggles, defeats, and triumphs chronicled in The Oxford Book of the American South speak not just to the South, but to all of the American experience. They document and evoke some of the most dramatic episodes in the nation's life

Book Description
There is a highway that travels the length of Vietnam's seacoast from Hanoi to Saigon. Many dreadful happenings have blotted this road for over a hundred years. It is truly a street without joy. It is named QL-1. There is a perennial military insult by real soldiers about those behind the lines. For each frontline hero, there lurks ten Rear Echelon Mothers who supply and support them. This story is about some of those Rear Echelon Mothers. Meet a comical group of mechanics and clerks, a wonderfully inept gaggle of men who goofballed and occasionally graced the margins of QL-1.

Book Description
In the years following the American Civil War, many participants—generals, politicians, journalists, and soldiers—authored first-hand accounts of their unique experiences. As Alfred E. Smith of the Library of Congress wrote in 1998, “No chapter of American history has been so voluminously recorded.” While the quality and reliability of the memoirs vary, a large number provide important perspectives that, taken together, offer vivid descriptions of major battles, political developments, and other momentous events from Fort Sumter to Appomattox. In Remembering the Civil War, historians Michael Barton and Charles Kupfer carefully select excerpts from the memoirs of key participants and weave them together to tell the story of the war in a single volume. Contributors include Union generals Ulysses Grant, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, W.T. Sherman, Abner Doubleday, and Philip Sheridan. Confederate authors include Robert E. Lee, Gen. James Longstreet, Cpl. Sam Watkins, Lt. John W. Worsham, Col. Edward Porter Alexander, Capt. John Wilkinson, and Jefferson Davies. Personal documents provide soldiers’ perspectives of what fighting was like on the ground, as well as hospital and prison life. A comprehensive introduction and headnote for each excerpt provide background information and context.
