Valiance And Valor

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

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.

Reconciling - A Lifelong...

Scott Steedman, Larry Grant

It's taken most of Larry Grant's long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status. With one stroke of the pen, they were disenfranchised—no longer recognized as Indigenous. 
 
Reconciling is a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman as they visit pivotal geographical places together. Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver and spans key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview. 
 
When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we're all going through. "I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self," he explains. "To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that."

Unruly Desires - American...

William Benemann

In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
 
 
 
Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

Doing Nothing Is No Longer an...

Jenny Booth Potter

During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
 
 
 
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

World War II in 1943: The...

Charles River Editors

Entering 1943, the Allies looked to press their advantage in the Pacific and Western Europe. The United States was firmly pushing the Japanese back across the Pacific, while the Americans and British plotted a major invasion somewhere in Western Europe to relieve the pressure on the Soviets. By the time the Allies conducted that invasion, the Soviets had lifted the siege of Stalingrad.  
	Even before the British and Americans were able to make major strategic decisions in 1943, a massive German surrender at Stalingrad in February marked the beginning of the end for Hitler’s armies in Russia. From that point forward, the Red Army started to steadily push the Nazis backward toward Germany. Yet it would still take the Red Army almost an entire two years to push the Germans all the way out of Russia. In July, just a few months after the surrender at Stalingrad, the Allies conducted what at the time was the largest amphibious invasion in history, coordinating the landing of two whole armies on Sicily, over a front more than 100 miles long. Within weeks of the beginning of the Allied campaign in Italy, Italy’s government wasted no time negotiating peace with the Allies and quickly quit the war.  
	Though Italy was no longer fighting for the Axis, German forces continued to occupy and control Italy in 1943. The Germans attempted to resist the Allies’ invasion on Sicily but were badly outmanned and outgunned, leading to a German evacuation of the island within a month. The Allies would land on the mainland of Italy in September and continue to campaign against the Germans there. 
	With Allied forces firmly established in Italy, the British and Americans began to plot a much more massive invasion to liberate Western Europe from the Nazis.
