"Kathryn, your scholarship and careful research make this book authentic and meaningful. I was amazed at the details and particulars of your record." ". . . a wonderful genealogy source." Judge, 22nd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards "A must have for family history " Martin Martindale Heroes in the Family Fight for War Pensions contains remarkable biographical stories about Revolutionary War soldiers who fought in the war and who, after the war, had to fight to obtain the war pensions they deserved. All of these soldiers are ancestors or relatives of Amherst Douglas Wait, a Civil War soldier, who was in the cavalry on Sibley's Expedition as they chased the Indians out of Minnesota and across the Dakota Territory. The ancestors in these biographical stories include Gardner Wait who was one of the sentinels at the Bennington Meeting House the night the British and Hessian prisoners attempted to escape; Henry Fillmore who was only in the service six weeks before he was wounded at the Battle of Monmouth; Cyrus Fillmore who was on General Sullivan's Expedition to stop the Indian attacks in the northern part of New York State; Doctor Eliphalet Downer who killed a British soldier immediately after the Battle of Concord; Henry Scott who was only a teenager when he hid in the fort during the Cherry Valley Massacre; Stephen Van Tassel who survived imprisonment at the Liberty Street Sugar House; Simeon Rowley who struggled to keep possession of his land after the rich and powerful John Van Rensselaer died; Colonel Simon T. Rowley who committed suicide after the war; Phebe Purdy Adsit Reynolds, widow of Samuel Adsit, who tried to deceive the Pension Department to obtain James Reynolds' pension benefits; John Kenyon who was caught in the terrible rush for the boats during the American retreat from the Battle of Rhode Island; Benjamin June who served under Colonel Rudolphus Ritzema at Harlem Heights when Ritzema deserted to the British; Shubael Newman, Silas June and Abner June who belonged to one of the last units that retreated from New York City with General Washington; Israel June and Isaac Briggs who saw action at the Battle of Assunpink Creek and the Battle of Princeton; and, finally, Reuben June who was a member of the Stamford Guards. The soldiers all fought for America; however, when they were old and destitute they found they also had to struggle with the War Department to obtain their war pensions. James L. Edwards who was in charge of the Pension Office of the War Department required that the soldiers prove their service time even though many of them had not received official discharge papers. Some of the soldiers' battles with the War Department lasted for over a decade, but the soldiers did not give up during this their latest fight.

African regional organizations have played leading roles in constructing collective conflict management rules for the continent, but these rules or norms have not been static. Currently, the African Union (AU) deploys monitors, authorizes peace support operations, and actively engages to resolve internal conflicts. Just a few decades ago, these actions would have been deeply controversial under the Organization of African Unity (OAU). What changed to allow for this transformation in the way the African regional organization approaches peace and security? African peace examines why the OAU chose norms in 1963 that prioritized state security and led to a policy of strict non-interference - even in the face of destabilizing violence - and why the AU chose very different norms leading to a disparate conflict management policy in the early 2000s. Even if the AU’s capacity to respond to conflict is still developing, this new policy has made the region more willing and capable of responding to violence. Nash argues that norm creation largely happened within the African context, and international pressure was not a determinant factor in their evolution. The role of regions in the international order, particularly the African region, has been under-theorized and under-acknowledged, and this book adds to an emerging literature that explores the role of regional organizations in the Global South in creating and promoting norms based on their own experiences and for their own purposes.
INNER PEACE—GLOBAL IMPACT describes underlying principles of Tibetan wisdom traditions relevant for successful leadership in the 21st century as well as Tibetan teachers whose entrepreneurial actions were critical to the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. With first-person narratives, personal stories, scholarly research, and commentaries by noted social scientists, this book is written for everyone who wants ideas to revitalize leadership.It is rich with vivid pictures of deep personal experience. Long-time Western Tibetan Buddhist practitioners describe how their practice has influenced them in fields as diverse as scientific research, social work, art, dance, and university teaching. The Dalai Lama is seen through the eyes of his long-time friend, eminent author Huston Smith, as well as through the experiences of Thupten Jinpa, his 25-year English translator. Sogyal Rinpoche shares his vision for transforming traditional ways of studying, while Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, a 10th generation Tibetan yogi, reflects on the challenges of teaching in a Western culture where perspectives differ so vastly from those of Tibet.With insights from Tibetan lamas and Western thought leaders including Peter Senge, Bill George, and Margaret Wheatley, this book creates new visions for leadership and the workplace.
