Born in Germany in 1828, future Union general August Valentine Kautz came to America as an infant. He was privileged to obtain schooling and, after service in the war with Mexico, attended West Point. Relying heavily on detailed journals kept by Kautz for 43 years, this biography covers his early experiences and his time in the turbulent Pacific Northwest, where he was involved in Indian affairs and the Rogue River War. As with so many American military men of the time, however, the defining event in his career was the Civil War. Originally assigned to the Western Theater, where he played a role in the capture of Morgan's Raiders, Kautz's service included participation in the First Battle of Deep Bottom, the Wilson-Kautz Raid, and the Petersburg assault aimed at capturing Richmond. Kautz has often been misrepresented in historical mentions and this biography seeks to set the record straight. Period photographs and a number of maps are included.

Upon the birth of his first grandchild August Dollenberg, Paul made up a story about the annual migration of Goldfinches from the North to Hilton Head Island during the Winter. He noticed that the male Goldfinches regained their bright yellow color in the Spring about the same time that the Southern Pine trees were releasing their bright yellow pollen. To a child, such transformation is magic, and Paul tried to capture that magic in this short story.

Der Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs - in zeitgen ssischen Presseberichten - eine packende, ergreifende und authentische Chronik zur Urkatastrophe des XX. Jahrhunderts. Themen der Geschichte in zeitgen ssischen Presseberichten k nnen Aufschlu geben, wie diese Zeit sich selbst erlebt hat, wie sie also in einem gewissen Ma e - unverf lscht - gewesen ist. Die in dieser Dokumentation wiedergegebenen Meldungen sind analog der Reihenfolge enthalten, wie sie von den damaligen Nachrichten-Agenturen ver ffentlicht wurden, weshalb sich einige Berichte widersprechen, oder Wiederholungen aus vorausgehenden Meldungen beinhalten. Sie zeigen dabei authentisch wie hektisch, bedr ckend, euphorisch oder in unterschiedlicher Gemengelage zwischen Hoffen und Bangen, sich die Stimmung und Einsch tzung der Lage f r den jeweiligen Berichtgeber darstellte. Man f hlt sich durch die belegte Wiedergabe der Ereignisse, aus Sicht der Zeit, hautnah in das Geschehen versetzt.
The first authoritative biography of August Wilson, the most important and successful American playwright of the late 20th century, by a theater critic who knew him. August Wilson wrote a series of ten plays celebrating African American life in the 20th century, one play for each decade. No other American playwright has completed such an ambitious oeuvre. Two of the plays became successful films, Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis; and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Fences and The Piano Lesson won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Fences won the Tony Award for Best Play, and years after Wilson's death in 2005, Jitney earned a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. Through his brilliant use of vernacular speech, Wilson developed unforgettable characters who epitomized the trials and triumphs of the African American experience. He said that he didn't research his plays but wrote from "the blood's memory," a sense of racial history that he believed African Americans shared. Author and theater critic Patti Hartigan traced his ancestry back to slavery, and his plays echo with uncanny similarities to the history of his ancestors. She interviewed Wilson many times before his death and traces his life from his childhood in Pittsburgh (where nine of the plays take place) to Broadway. She also interviewed scores of friends, theater colleagues and family members, and conducted extensive research to tell the story of a writer who left an indelible imprint on American theater and opened the door for future playwrights of color.
