Summary

In the annals of American history, the Ninth Texas Cavalry stands as a beacon of courage and resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought for their beliefs during the Civil War. This book chronicles their remarkable journey, from their humble beginnings in the rolling hills of Texas to their epic battles across the war-torn Confederacy.

Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official records, this book paints a vivid picture of the Ninth Texas Cavalry's odyssey. It follows them as they cross the Red River into Indian Territory, eager to prove their mettle. It recounts their trials and triumphs, their sacrifices and their unwavering spirit.

Theirs is a story of courage and resilience, of camaraderie and loss. They faced starvation and disease, endured scorching heat and bitter cold, and witnessed unspeakable horrors. They fought in some of the most brutal battles of the Civil War, from Shiloh to Jenkins' Ferry, from Yellow Bayou to Poison Spring. They charged into the fray with unwavering courage, their hearts filled with a fierce determination to defend their homeland.

Yet, even in the darkest of times, they found solace in the bonds of camaraderie. They shared their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their dreams for the future. They relied on each other for support and strength, forming an unbreakable brotherhood that would last long after the war had ended.

The Ninth Texas Cavalry's story is a microcosm of the Civil War itself, a conflict that tore the nation apart and left an indelible scar on the American psyche. It is a story of sacrifice and suffering, of heroism and heartbreak. But it is also a story of hope and resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the American people.

This book is a tribute to the brave men of the Ninth Texas Cavalry. It is a reminder of the sacrifices they made and the legacy they left behind. It is a story that will inspire and captivate readers for generations to come.

    Life lessons from Russian Literature 
  
As Viv Groskop knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened to a person has already happened in the Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your life (Anna Karenina), to being hopelessly in love with someone who doesn’t love you back (Turgenev’s A Month in the Country), or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov’s work). In The Anna Karenina Fix, Groskop mines these and other works, as well as the lives of their celebrated creators and her own experiences as a student of Russian, to answer the question “How should you live your life?” or at least be less miserable. This is a charming and fiercely intelligent book, a love letter to Russian literature.

    The Most Human Right - Why Free...

    What are human rights? Are they laid out definitively in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the US Bill of Rights? Are they items on a checklist—dignity, justice, progress, standard of living, health care, housing? In  
The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, health  
care, or housing. But to appease autocratic regimes, experts have ignored the primacy of free speech. Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental  
right, without which the very concept of a “right” makes no sense. 
 
Heinze argues that throughout history countless systems of justice have promised human goods. What, then, makes human rights different? What must human rights have that other systems have lacked? Heinze revisits the origins of the  
concept, exploring what it means for a nation to protect human rights, and what a citizen needs in order to pursue them. He explains how free speech distinguishes human rights from other ideas about justice, past and present.

    Black women continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. 
 
 
 
From grammar and high schools to corporate boardrooms and military squadrons, Black and Afro Latina natural hair continues to confound, transfix, and enrage members of White American society. Why, in 2022, is this still the case? Why have we not moved beyond that perennial racist emblem? And why are women so disproportionately affected? 
 
 
 
Why does our hair become most palatable when it capitulates, and has been subjugated, to resemble Caucasian features as closely as possible? Who or what is responsible for the web of supervision and surveillance of our hair? Who in our society gets to author the prevailing constitution of professional appearance? 
 
  
 
Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened White supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in schools, academia, and corporate America might lead to greater understanding and respect.

This compilation Includes: 

  The Balance of Mind and Heart
  Suffering
  How Can We Help

 
Ram Dass explains that we must first acknowledge our humanity, if we hope to be an instrument of presence and peace. When we embrace our humanness, we create the space necessary for compassion to arise. We learn to balance the suffering we encounter with the innate empathy of the human heart. We awaken through our life experiences, which become the curriculum for our incarnation. Our humanity itself is the vehicle through which our spirit can manifest. The help we offer is who we are, our very being.
 
Ram Dass asks us to consider the ways in which our culture’s pervading myth of unbridled individualism has generated the destabilizing forces confronting us. "Injustice is rooted in a frightened heart."To remain open to the tremendous suffering we encounter requires an exquisite balance of the rational mind and intuitive heart. Ram Dass' exploration of practical methods for expanding our awareness without closing our hearts offers a blueprint for how we might navigate an ever-changing universe and return home to that quality of being where there is only one of us.
