In October 1862, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant assumed command of all federal forces in Mississippi & east Louisiana. He fought for control of Vicksburg for the next nine months in a series of attempts to capture the Confederate citadel. It would end in failure at Holly Springs, Mississippi after a daring raid made by Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn. Larry Allen McCluney, Jr. examines the campaign as Grant followed the railroad through the towns of Holly Springs, Abbeville, Water Valley, Oxford, Coffeeville, and the outskirts of Grenada. The book addresses a too-little examined phase of Grant's Vicksburg Campaign: His initial attempt to take the "Gibraltar of the Mississippi" by going through Jackson on the Mississippi Central Railroad. Grant planned to use the Mississippi Central to take his army to Jackson before pivoting to his right & heading west towards Vicksburg, pinning it to the Mississippi River. The book covers his full extent ending with the fall of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863.

Sale!Drawing on a rich array of primary & secondary sources, Ash, associate professor at the University of Tennessee, has drawn a vivid picture of everyday people scrambling to survive with Darwinian tenacity as their world collapses around them. Through his intelligent choice of diverse subjects-an upper-class Confederate widow reduced to drudgery; an enterprising slave who tucks away a nest egg & learns to read; a young farmer whose discovery of faith & love renews his enthusiasm for life; a 31-year-old preacher from a prosperous slave-owning family, who survives the dissolution of the institution that had sustained their prosperity-Ash tells a tale that reads like a novel.

Everything (well, almost everything) you know about American History is WRONG because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not: Professor Thomas Woods has the perfect antidote. This delightful book – funny and inviting, but factual, shatters the myths about American history and separates fact from fiction. The P. I. G. of American History will give you all the information you need to battle and confront left-wing professors, neighbors and friends.

BACK ORDERED! The War was scarcely over when a group of ladies met in Raleigh and began to plan commemoration for the honored Confederate dead of North Carolina. In 1867, they held their first memorial service. Two years later the first monument to the state's fallen Confederate soldiers was erected. Over the next 14 decades, countless monuments were commissioned across the state.
