Liz Franklin's book is full of stories. Some of the stories are of individuals who lived thousands of years ago and some are more recent, but all have relatable elements. Like the tales of old, we all have endured blisters, trials and hardships. Reading the victories of those who have gone before us lifts and causes us to rejoice at seeing the result having sought and received God's mercy and love. While feeling sadness when reading about others who failed to pursue righteous living and did not accept the offer of eternal life in Heaven. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. "Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7-8The inspiration for this book occurred when Elizabeth's heart was deeply touched by her pastor's message that no matter how great the sin in our lives, God is waiting to forgive all. His mercy waits for those who humbly ask Him.

This unique state-by-state directory covers monuments, memorials, museums, markers, statues and library collections that relate to the veterans, weapons, vehicles, airplanes, victims or any other aspect of war in which the United States participated. While a site may have been created before 1900 (such as a fort), there must be some operational or historical tie to a twentieth century conflict to be included here. General collections, such as museums of aviation, are included if they house materials related to a twentieth century conflict. The coverage is so thorough that statues honoring veterans of the Civil War appear if veterans of later wars are on their rosters of honorees. Another example of the comprehensiveness of this compilation is in the inclusion of memorials to victims of war such as the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas. For each site, the following information is given: street address, phone number, website and email address (if applicable), days and hours of operation, admission fees, other necessary information, and a brief description of the site.
Booklist: This refreshingly unusual wartime tale is a testament to female friendship, and its strength lies in its superbly written, fierce and funny heroine, and a well-developed cast of supporting characters.For a young woman of exceptional intelligence and courage, being sequestered from the dangers of WW2 on the idyllic island of Bermuda is maddening. She is determined to get into the fight--then the fight is brought to her. Lucy Barrett is a Censorette, part of a branch of British Intelligence stationed on the island to inspect mail between North America and European nations at war. Determined to contribute in a more substantial way, Lucy uses her Cambridge education and love of Shakespeare to detect a Nazi spy ring operating out of Brooklyn. Just as she is promoted to a dangerous job overseas, her good friend is murdered. Should she embrace her new assignment, or seek justice for her friend?
A full-scale biography of the distinguished lyric poet, translator, and critic details the highs and lows of her elegant and sorrowful life and the steady growth and influence of her work
Because of the numerous persons with the surname Wright and similar given names, and to keep track of these different people, the author has adopted the convention of distinguishing Wrights by listing them with their date of death and place of death, the two most commonly available pieces of information. Thus the William Wright who died in 1809 at Franklin County, Virginia, is identified as 1809 William Wright of Franklin County, Virginia. Evidence identifying William Wright is presented in this ten-part analysis which reviews some of the information known about William and John Wright, William's wife Mary (Grant) Wright, documentary evidence, handwriting, suggestive evidence, family naming evidence, and contrary identifications and why they are probably not correct. Additionally, there is a summary in chronological order of the information known about William Wright of Franklin County and Mary (Grant) Wright in northern Virginia.
For all the scholarship devoted to Mary Shelley's English novel Frankenstein, there has been surprisingly little attention paid to its role in American culture, and virtually none to its racial resonances in the United States. In Black Frankenstein, Elizabeth Young identifies and interprets the figure of a black American Frankenstein monster as it appears with surprising frequency throughout nineteenth- and twentieth-century U.S. culture, in fiction, film, essays, oratory, painting, and other media, and in works by both whites and African Americans. Black Frankenstein stories, Young argues, effect four kinds of racial critique: they humanize the slave; they explain, if not justify, black violence; they condemn the slaveowner; and they expose the instability of white power. The black Frankenstein's monster has served as a powerful metaphor for reinforcing racial hierarchy—and as an even more powerful metaphor for shaping anti-racist critique. Illuminating the power of parody and reappropriation, Black Frankenstein tells the story of a metaphor that continues to matter to literature, culture, aesthetics, and politics.

Benjamin Franklin Butler was one of the most important and controversial military and political leaders of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. Remembered most often for his uncompromising administration of the Federal occupation of New Orleans during the war, Butler reemerges in this lively narrative as a man whose journey took him from childhood destitution to wealth and profound influence in state and national halls of power. Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth Leonard chronicles Butler's successful career in the law defending the rights of the Lowell Mill girls and other workers, his achievements as one of Abraham Lincoln's premier civilian generals, and his role in developing wartime policy in support of slavery's fugitives as the nation advanced toward emanciaption. Leonard also highlights Butler's personal and political evolution, revealing how his limited understanding of racism and the horrors of slavery transformed over time, leading him into a postwar role as one of the nation's foremost advocates for Black freedom and civil rights, and one of its notable opponents of white supremacy and neo-Confederate resurgence.Butler himself claimed he was "always with the underdog in the fight." Leonard's nuanced portrait will help readers assess such claims, peeling away generations of previous assumptions and characterizations to provide a definitive life of a consequential man.
Erasing Frankenstein showcases a creative exchange between federally incarcerated women and members of the prison-education think tank Walls to Bridges Collective at the Grand Valley Institution for Women (GVI) in Kitchener, Ontario, and graduate and undergraduate students from the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Working collaboratively by long-distance mail, the artists and contributors made the first-ever poetic adaptation of Frankenstein, turning it into a book-length erasure poem. An erasure poem is an example of “found art,” a poem created by piggybacking on an existing text; the words that are not part of the poem are erased or blacked out, and what is left is the poem. This book presents the original erasure poem alongside reflections from participants on the experience.
Joy of family life, sharing fun, love and wisdom of Grandpa Frank. Bringing moral stories to an immoral world, hopefully an understanding of God's teachings to give the young knowledge and strength of character. Watching the insipid growth of immorality, the annilation of civilization, through the "new" educational policies, I feel strongly that children must be exposed to truth. My faith inspired the stories of Grandpa Frank. My four children, ten grandchildren, three great grandchildren bring me hope for the future. A lifelong resident of New Jersey, I see the majestic mountains, the sprawling sands of the beach, and I see confusion in the faces of children. Only truth will set them free, The Words of our God.
