Summary

In 'Yankee Gypsies', John Greenleaf Whittier skillfully weaves a collection of poignant and insightful poems that explore themes of freedom, identity, and the human experience. Written in Whittier's signature lyrical style, the poems in this volume transport the reader to a time when America was grappling with issues of slavery and social injustice. Through vivid imagery and powerful metaphors, Whittier sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people, giving voice to the marginalized and oppressed. His use of simple language and heartfelt emotion make the poems accessible yet profound, resonating with readers of all backgrounds and beliefs. John Greenleaf Whittier, a prominent Quaker poet and abolitionist, drew inspiration from his own experiences and convictions to write 'Yankee Gypsies'. His commitment to social reform and his deep empathy for the downtrodden are evident throughout the collection, as he challenges readers to confront difficult truths and work towards a more just society. Whittier's dedication to poetry as a tool for social change is reflected in the timeless relevance of 'Yankee Gypsies', making it a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and history. I highly recommend 'Yankee Gypsies' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking poetry that delves into the complexities of human existence. Whittier's masterful blend of artistry and activism makes this collection a compelling and enriching exploration of the human spirit.

    A photo-packed celebration of Boston’s 1967 pennant win.   It was a summer that united a city and transformed a franchise. Led by 1967 MVP Carl Yastrzemski and Boston’s first Cy Young Award winner, Jim Lonborg, the youngest Red Sox team since the days of Babe Ruth went from ninth to first place in what remains the closest pennant race in baseball history.   Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Reggie Smith, Billy Rohr, Jerry Adair, and their teammates became household names to the Fenway Faithful as they carried the Red Sox to their first World Series in twenty-one years under manager Dick Williams—and this book is filled with personal reminiscences and photos of that glorious season.

    Fourteen of history’s longest-running military conflicts, from the Greco-Persian Wars to the Sudanese Civil War. 
 
Sometimes the causes of war are so intractable, the opponents so unyielding, and the rivalries so deep-rooted that the combat continues for years, decades, even centuries. And often when it does abate, the resentments still smolder, so that the slightest spark might reignite the conflagration. 
 
An at once captivating and unsettling volume, Why Some Wars Never End shines a spotlight on fourteen of history’s longest-running conflicts. They range from the almost century-long Punic Wars, which saw ancient Rome achieve dominance over the Mediterranean and lay the foundations of its world-changing empire, to the seventy years of uprisings and bloody encounters that triggered the Jewish Diaspora in the second century CE, to the nineteenth-century Seminole Wars, which virtually wiped out the Seminole Indians, to the violent British suppression of Afghan self-rule that set the stage for that nation’s distressing contemporary plight. 
 
Each of these wars had consequences and influences far beyond its source and the reach of its battles, not only redrawing political boundaries, but also coloring the worldview of generations of participants and bystanders, and thereby refashioning entire cultures. And all demonstrate, in harrowing fashion, why violence still stains our modern world, and why warfare shows no sign of ending any time soon.

    It has been said that everyone in America is firmly planted in red or blue—permanently conservative or irreversibly liberal. But are we all really that locked in to the left or the right? A lifelong liberal, John Moe was determined to find out. So he reset his radio dials from NPR to Rush Limbaugh, joined some of today's most influential conservative thinkers for a series of "conversion sessions," made pilgrimages to the Ronald Reagan and Richard M. Nixon museums, and spent the Fourth of July in the most Bush-friendly county in the country, in an attempt to discover if there was actually a conservative trapped inside him yearning to be set free.Conservatize Me is a fresh, humorous, and highly entertaining look at our country's political landscape, one that will strike a powerful chord with millions of disgruntled Americans while stimulating the mind and tickling the funny bone.

    This Civil War biography chronicles the life of the brave Union artillery officer who refused to retreat from Pickett’s Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lieutenant Alonzo Hereford Cushing may be the most famous lieutenant to be killed during the Civil War. Two years out of West Point, the young artillery officer commanded Battery A of the 4th US Artillery at Gettysburg. Despite severe wounds, Cushing defended his position at Cemetery Ridge against the fearsome Confederate infantry assault. The story of Cushing’s heroic final moments were witnessed and recorded by a battlefield correspondent for The New York Times, who said “the gallantry of this officer is beyond praise.” In 2014, President Barak Obama awarded Cushing a posthumous Medal of Honor. In this biography, Kent Brown presents a lively narrative based on extensive research, including a cache of Cushing’s letters.
