Synopsis

In "Handy Mandy in Oz," Ruth Plumly Thompson crafts a whimsical adventure that expands the beloved Oz universe established by L. Frank Baum. The narrative follows Mandy, a resourceful girl known for her handiwork, who stumbles into the magical land of Oz while seeking to repair her broken doll. Through Thompson'Äôs lively prose, characterized by vivid imagery and playful dialogue, readers are transported into a realm where imagination reigns supreme and ordinary objects come to life. The book embraces the spirit of early 20th-century children'Äôs literature, blending fantasy with moral lessons that resonate with its young audience. Ruth Plumly Thompson, who succeeded L. Frank Baum as the official author of the Oz series, brought her unique perspective and creativity to the franchise, which was well-chronicled during her formative years in Pennsylvania. Her experience as a poet and illustrator influenced her ability to weave rich narratives that appeal to all ages, as she aimed to uphold the whimsical spirit of Oz while introducing new characters and adventures that reflect her engaging personality and inventive style. "Handy Mandy in Oz" is a delightful addition to the Oz canon, ideal for both longtime fans and newcomers. Thompson'Äôs masterful storytelling and enchanting settings immerse readers in a world of possibility and wonder. This book invites readers to explore themes of creativity, resourcefulness, and generosity, making it a must-read for anyone seeking joy and inspiration in the magical land of Oz.

    Shiloh: The History of the First...

    After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy’s best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all out attack on Grant’s army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant’s men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston’s army began to steadily push Grant’s men back toward the river. 
    The Battle of Shiloh lasted two days, but the battle over the battle had just begun. Grant’s army had just won the biggest battle in the history of North America, with nearly 24,000 combined casualties among the Union and Confederate forces. Usually the winner of a major battle is hailed as a hero, but Grant was hardly a winner at Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh took place before costlier battles at places like Antietam and Gettysburg, so the extent of the casualties at Shiloh shocked the nation. Moreover, at Shiloh the casualties were viewed as needless; Grant was pilloried for allowing the Confederates to take his forces by surprise, as well as the failure to build defensive earthworks and fortifications, which nearly resulted in a rout of his army. Speculation again arose that Grant had a drinking problem, and some even assumed he was drunk during the battle. Though the Union won, it was largely viewed that their success owed to the heroics of General Sherman in rallying the men and Don Carlos Buell arriving with his army, and General Buell was happy to receive the credit at Grant’s expense.
