Over 400 Confederate and 580 Union soldiers rose to the rank of general in the Civil War. Of them, more than 1 in 10 would die, an astounding 124 in all--78 for the South and 46 for the North. Weaving their stories into a seamless narrative of the entire war, Derek Smith paints a fascinating and often moving portrait of the final moments of some of the finest American warriors who have ever lived, including Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sidney Johnston, Jeb Stuart, James B. McPherson, John Reynolds, and numerous others.

South Carolinians in the Battle of Gettysburg

South Carolinians in the Battle of Gettysburg

McFarland Co Inc

July 1, 1863. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee advanced across the Pennsylvania countryside toward the small town of Gettysburg--less than 90 miles from Washington, D.C.--on a collision course with the Union Army of the Potomac. In Lee's ranks were 5,000 South Carolina troops destined to play critical roles in the three days of fighting ahead. From generals to privates, the Palmetto State soldiers were hurled into the Civil War's most famous battle--hundreds were killed, wounded or later suffered as prisoners of war. The life-and-death stories of these South Carolinians are here woven together here with official wartime reports, previously unpublished letters, newspaper accounts, diaries and the author's personal observations from walking the battlefield.

Savannah is one of America's most beautiful and historic cities. Yet underneath the mint juleps, oaks bearded with Spanish moss and the splendor of colonial architecture, there lurks a deadly undercurrent. This is a first-person account of an award-winning newspaper crime reporter's career, covering scores of murders in the Savannah area, including one of the bloodiest eras in the city's history: in 1985, metro Savannah earned notoriety with the nation's highest homicide rate. The author describes a wide range of crimes, including murders over a 14-year-old lover, $4 for hamburgers or a baby carriage; the grisly murder of a voodoo priest; bound corpses in the waterways and interstate body dumping grounds; the Scarecrow and "Say Cheese" Killers, serial killer Wade Sheffield; and many more.

Revolutionary Camden

"Camden seems to have an evil genius about it. Whatever is attempted near that place is unfortunate." These words were spoken by American maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene just days after his defeat at the battle of Hobkirk Hill. With the war at a stalemate in the north, the British had turned their attention to the southern provinces with renewed vigor, and in 1780, the frontier village of Camden, South Carolina, found itself at the bloody epicenter of the American Revolution. This book is a history of Camden during the Revolutionary War, where it functioned as a keystone stronghold in the Crown's plan to quell the rebellion in the Carolinas and Georgia.The scene of two major battles and more than a dozen lesser clashes, Camden represents a brutal yet fascinating chapter in the history of the American Revolution.

We were somewhere around Barnard's Star, on the edge of the Deserted Basin stretch of the Vega Run when the thugs began to take hold...of our necks. They'd just burst in and I remember thinking to myself, 'Only four jumps from Earth and we're already getting mugged? ? I wonder if they'll give me an interview.' The thought, like the oxygen to my brain, was cut short as the larger of the two pinned our necks to the cramped cabin's walls. Through tearing eyes I watch as the smaller one began roughly rummaging through our bags. It's about then I realize I was too $#@ 'ing high for this.Maybe I should back up for a second. The name is Duke. Lilith P. Duke, Pharmacist of Journalism, Adventurer Extraordinaire, and 21st great-granddaughter of Raoul Duke, infamous father of Gonzo journalism back on Earth late in the 20th century. We're currently on assignment heading to the Last Vega port colony; a colony located at the farthest edges us monkeys have traveled into space. We're supposed to cover the opening of the first jump point beyond that, but I suppose first we have to see about getting beyond this mugging...That's right kiddies, this is the Vega Run like you've never seen it, every sick little adventure, and every dirty not-so-little secret. So epoxy resin your kids in their bunks, put your feet in the zero-g stirrups, and hold on tight

Golf Widows

Golf Widows

Cushing Publishig
2024
pokkari
As a bartender at exclusive country clubs in Atlanta and Savannah, Cass Cassidy has perfected his art of seducing "golf widows," the wives of high-roller golfers whose only real love is the mistress that is their sport. Over cocktails, these ladies chatter about their Louis Vuitton purses, Ferragamos, designer jewelry, and who among them has had "work done," all the banter masking their boredom. Cass has the looks and the bold confidence to make some of them forget their boredom - and their husbands. In the ritzy circles of Atlanta's Pine Meadows Country Club, golf dominates the free time of many of its high rollers. Their "golf widows" are another story entirely. Country club bartender Cass Cassidy has perfected his pickup techniques, no matter the age, shape, background or bra size of the "Golf Widows" he seeks. Country club bartender Cass Cassidy realizes that true love and commitment aren't what he seeks in his "Golf Widows" affairs. For him, the conquest is nothing, the hunt all. Cass enjoys role-playing with one of his "Golf Widows." Among them are a narcotics officer, a Bavarian shepherdess, a military interrogator, and a duchess who needs to be "embalmed" by a handsome undertaker, during their rendezvous at old motels and motor lodges, where she feeds quarters to vibrating beds.
