The politically correct history that dominates our schools and universities insists that Jefferson Davis was another Hitler, Robert E. Lee was the equivalent of Rommel and the Confederate States of America was our own version of the Third Reich --- a blot on American history. But reality, as always, was different: the Old South had immense charm, grace, merit and a very strong Constitutional case. The author of "Robert E. Lee on Leadership", H. W. Crocker III, busts myths and shatters stereotypes as he profiles eminent--and colorful--military generals. Revealing little-known truths, this is the Politically Incorrect Guide that every Civil War buff must have.

Inspired by the international rural-cemetery movement, created amid controversy in the 1840's and 1850's, and challenged by the toll of the Civil War, Hollywood Cemetery is a Southern landmark. Here lie Jefferson Davis, James Monroe, John Tyler, six Virginia governors, and countless Confederate officers and soldiers. Gracefully written after a decade of research in original records, Mrs. Mitchell's HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY will interest readers throughout Virginia, the South, and the nation.

As many as 9,500 men of Hispanic heritage fought in the United States' Civil War. In Texas, the bitter conflict deeply divided the Tejanos - Texans of Mexican heritage. An estimated 2,500 fought in the ranks of the Confederacy while 950, including some Mexican nationals, fought for the Stars and Stripes. Vaqueros in Blue & Gray, originally published in 1976, is the story of these Tejanos who participated in the Civil War. The new edition of the history of these vaqueros contains the first comprehensive list, containing almost 4,000 names, ever compiled of the Confederate and Union Hispanics from Texas who served in the war.

The Hanover Tavern outside Richmond was a place of refuge during the Civil War. Life at the Tavern was not always safe as residents weathered frequent Union cavalry raids on nearby railroads, bridges and farms. Margaret Copland Brown Wight and some of her family braved the war at the Tavern from 1862 until 1865 in the company of a small community of refugees. She kept a diary to document each hardship and every blessing - a day of rain after weeks of drought, news of her sons fighting in the Confederate armies or word from her daughter caught behind enemy lines. Wight's diary, discovered more than a century after the war, is a vital voice from a time of tumult. Join the Hanover Tavern Foundation as the diary is presented here for the first time.
