The events at Appomattox Court House in Virginia on April 9, 1865 have long been considered the end of the Civil War. However, there were still Confederate armies in the field. Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, commander of the Union armies operating in North Carolina, still faced a 31,000 man Confederate army commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. In addition, another 60,000 Confederate soldiers remained under arms east of the Mississippi River. Johnston's army inflicted heavy losses on Sherman's forces at the Battle of Bentonville in March 1865, but was nearly captured when its escape route was nearly blocked by Sherman's much larger army. Instead of pursuing Johnston, whose troops escaped to Smithfield, North Carolina, Sherman instead marched to Goldsboro, where his army was reinforced and spent two weeks resting and refitting. Unlike Lee's army, which was surrounded at Appomattox and compelled to surrender, Johnston's army was not surrounded and had a substantial head start on Sherman, who would face hard marches and possibly another bloody battle before he could compel Johnston to surrender. When Sherman learned that the Army of the Potomac had captured Richmond and caused Lee's army to flee toward Danville, on the Virginia/North Carolina state line, he set his army in motion. By the time it reached Smithfield on April 12, Johnston had fallen back to Raleigh. Sherman pursued, prompting Johnston to evacuate Raleigh. But then word arrived of Lee's surrender--an event that changed everything. Johnston, realizing that there was no further reason to flee in an attempt to link up with Lee's army, asked Sherman to meet with him to discuss terms of surrender. Then came word of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, an event that prompted Johnston to say that with the death of the President of the United States, the South had lost its best friend. This set the stage for the dramatic events that occurred at James Bennett's farm in modern-day Durham. In three remarkable meetings, Sherman and Johnston tried to not only set the terms for the surrender of the 91,000 Confederate troops east of the Mississippi River, but to make peace, once and for all. The new administration of President Andrew Johnson, eager for vengeance for the assassination of Lincoln, rejected the terms negotiated by Sherman and Johnston, excoriated Sherman in the press, and forced him to threaten Johnston with the renewal of hostilities if he did not surrender upon the same terms offered to Lee at Appomattox. Johnston wisely accepted those terms, leading to the surrender of his command and those other Confederates east of the Mississippi. This is the story of those events, told in detail, and often in the words of the participants themselves. Author Eric J. Wittenberg has masterfully told this compelling story. Numerous photographs and maps accompany the narrative describing the end of the great American tragedy of the Civil War.

Description: In an increasingly homogeneous higher education landscape, does organizational identity still matter? Specifically, church-related higher education has experienced seismic shifts since the mid-1960s. Framed by emerging research on organizations and theories of isomorphism, this book traces the forty-year narratives of three colleges of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America--Concordia College, Gettysburg College, and Lenoir-Rhyne University. Are these schools seeking to preserve their religious identities, and if so, what organizational strategies are supporting these efforts? In-depth personal interviews, rigorous document analysis, and thoughtful observation give voice to the three stories detailed in College Identity Sagas. For those interested in distinctive colleges, religiously affiliated higher education, and organization and institutional theories, this book is a vital resource. Endorsements: ""In engaging prose, Childers provides a framework for understanding the variety, impact, and possibilities of religious identity in colleges . . . By employing multiple voices and a spectrum of examples, he provides a nuanced discussion of the issue into which most campuses can beneficially enter."" --Ryan LaHurd, President of James S. Kemper Foundation ""Childers has produced a groundbreaking study. His findings are based on substantive theory and thorough research and analysis. Hopefully, these three case studies will be useful to other colleges and church bodies in charting their courses."" --Paul J. Dovre, President Emeritus of Concordia College About the Contributor(s): Eric Childers completed his PhD in higher education at the University of Virginia in 2010. He serves as pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church in Cherryville, North Carolina.

Adult Erotica Romance It's not that her job as a legal assistant doesn't pay well, it's something else, something primitive and carnal that is the driving force behind Erica's second job as an exotic/erotic performer for Sable's Sexy Girls. She gets to entice men with her body and watch their gazes turn heated and fill with lust while she wiggles and shimmies around. It makes her feel sexy and heats her blood. During a bachelor party, Erica spots her boss Nathan who she's had a crush on since she started working for him. She's always fantasized about seeing that look in his eyes when he looked at her, but since the mask covers her facial features, there'd be no way he would recognize her. Believing he may have recognized her anyway, she rushes from an event, but doesn't notice that a key piece of one of her costumes is missing. Needing some distance, she puts in for some vacation time, only Nathan has other plans. Summoned by a note scrawled on a piece of paper on her desk, Erica wonders if her boss has figured it out. What she isn't suspecting, is what Nathan has planned for her.
The 11 short stories are written by writer, filmmaker, video & performance artist, Erica Schreiner (http://www.ericaschreiner.com/). Schreiner's collection of narrative performance poems encompass themes including the mystical world, Source, the Universe, quest for meaning, love, death, severing and growth. Each story has an interpretive, complex and original drawing created by artist, performer, and owner of The Living Gallery, Nyssa Frank (www.nyssafrank.com). Arrows, literally and symbolically, is a theme shared throughout the writing and depicted in the illustrations. Thick with metaphor, at times, characters in the stories, remove their arrows and shoot them into the sky, or lay them out in a row in representation of love and vulnerability. One story in particular can be accurately summed up by its title, "I am a Woman with Horse Legs, Awkwardly Carrying my Bow and Arrow."
