In 1865, the McCleary Plantation is raided by Union soldiers, leaving behind few survivors. When New York historian Mark Patterson receives an invitation to the present-day plantation for unprecedented access to the records of the Rebecca McCleary family, he learns that their past is far more complicated than he imagined. As Mark digs in to his research, the youngest namesake of Rebecca McCleary looks for ways to get closer to him, a fact that does not escape Mark's fianc e. Through his interactions with the McCleary women, their staff members, and friendly locals, Mark discovers a family history of violence, manipulation, and even an element of the supernatural.Told in a series of flashbacks, diary entries, and present-day narrative, Southern Rites turns historical fiction on its head. Part fiction, part history, part romance, and part supernatural thriller, this novel has something for everyone.

As the galaxy spirals into open warfare, Tyler Stone has joined forces with his former enemies, the Terillians.

Complicating matters is the Saint, a con-man turned messiah who begins to unite the planets under his brand of religion--one that creates fanatical followers. Stone must confront not only the enemy but challenges to his own identity while he and his companions battle to save millions from enslavement and death.

Confederate General William Dorsey Pender

Confederate General William Dorsey Pender

Brian Steel Wills

Louisiana State University Press

sidottu
During the Civil War, North Carolinian William Dorsey Pender established himself as one of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's best young generals. He served in most of the significant engagements of the war in the eastern theater while under the command of Joseph E. Johnston at Seven Pines and Robert E. Lee from the Seven Days to Gettysburg. His most crucial contributions to Confederate success came at the battles of Second Manassas, Shepherdstown, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. After an effective first day at Gettysburg, Pender was struck by a shell and disabled, necessitating his return to Virginia for what he hoped would be only an extended convalescence. Although Pender initially survived the wound, he died soon thereafter due to complications from his injury.In this thorough biography of Pender, noted Civil War historian Brian Steel Wills examines both the young general's military career and his domestic life. While Pender devoted himself to military service, he also embraced the Episcopal Church and was baptized before his command in the field. According to Wills, Pender had an insatiable quest for ""glory"" in both earthly and heavenly realms, and he delighted in his role as a husband and father. In Pender's voluminous correspondence with his wife, Fanny, he shared his beliefs and offered views and opinions on a vast array of subjects. In the end, Wills suggests that Pender's story captures both the idealistic promise and the despair of a war that cost the lives of many Americans and changed the nation forever.

Wild About Dorset

Wild About Dorset

Brian Jackman

BRADT TRAVEL GUIDES
2022
nidottu
Wild About Dorset is a new collection of nature writing from award-winning journalist and author Brian Jackman. Drawing on a decade's worth of monthly columns in his local parish magazine, Jackman paints a 'year in the life' of wildlife and wild places in West Dorset's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), where he has lived for fifty years. A rumpled, tumbling world of green-gold hills, bordered by the Jurassic Coast's crumbling cliffs and melting away inland somewhere north of Beaminster, few corners of England are so rich in wildlife or so intensely rural. Arranged month-by-month, this book celebrates the only place in the British Isles that reminds Jackman of the lost countryside of his youth. Complementing Jackman's love letter are thirteen colour illustrations by celebrated nature artist Carry Akroyd, an award-winning member of the Society of Wildlife Artists. This is a book about nature - an account of natural history observations. Start the year by joining Jackman to watch sea trout and mating foxes, and close it with mistletoe and little owls. In between, watch peregrine falcons fly along Dorset's Jurassic Coast, marvel at mad March hares, glow-worms and dormice, and witness the fallow deer rut amid ancient oakwoods. This is also a book about place - celebrating the vigorously local and unequivocally rural even more deeply than his book Wild About Britain (also published by Bradt). Via Jackman's pen, explore the holloways (old sunken trackways) and lynchets (medieval field systems) that characterise West Dorset landscapes. Indulge in haymaking, beekeeping and the pleasure of log fires. Visit Powerstock, a thatched village straight out of Cider with Rosie. Marvel at Kingcombe, 'the farm that time forgot', which was declared a National Nature Reserve in 2021. And enjoy views from a giant Iron Age hillfort marking the geological divide between southern England's chalklands and the true West Country. Evocative, personal and authoritative, Wild About Dorset is a unique portrait of rural England's wildlife and landscapes, a breath of country air that will inspire reader to don walking boots and grab binoculars, then fall in love again with the great British countryside.

Together: Life in a Dorset Village

Together: Life in a Dorset Village

Rita Cruise O'Brien

Dorset: what lies behind village life? TOGETHER follows in the great tradition of English village studies. Owermoigne has 470 inhabitants a few miles from the famed coastline, Thomas Hardy's birthplace and the county town of Dorchester. Owermoigne, a Celtic-Norman name has distant origins beginning with the local Iron Age tribes and the Romans. The book traces the long history of the locality which was granted as a feudal estate to a Norman knight after 1066. It recounts the hardship of local farming which led to the founding of the first agricultural trade union at Tolpuddle, a few miles from the village. This contemporary portrait of the village based on seventy interviews gives the book its title. TOGETHER describes the vibrant social life of a modern Dorset village without a pub, shop or post office. Much can be gained by people joining together to do things, called social capital in policy and scholarly circles. It is plentiful in Owermoigne. In contrast to the concerns of successive British governments about rural isolation in the last thirty years, the village is not a backwater of boredom and inactivity, just the opposite. Read how it was done, how it is sustained and how a critical dispute was finally resolved. Rita Cruise O'Brien has had a home in Owermoigne for eighteen years. She and her husband, Donal, found the people most welcoming despite being second home owners and Irish and American in origin. She has worked in universities, consulting and business and published four previous books. He book, TRUST: Releasing the Energy to Succeed, Wiley, 2001, examines why trust is vital to competitive advantage in British industry. Trust has also been very important to sustaining long lasting relationships in the village, no better demonstrated than when it is tested.

Brian struggles with the reality of his own dark secrets dwelling within. Is he as bad as the lurking demons whispering lies in his ears? Has he become like the man he has hated most of his life? As he looks in the mirror, he questions who he is, why was he born, and how long he can carry the burdens of the unspoken truths?

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London’s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujiro Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.
