The Class of 1861
Ralph Kirshner has provided a richly illustrated forum to enable the West Point class of 1861 to write its own autobiography. Through letters, journals, and published accounts, George Armstrong Custer, Adelbert Ames, and their classmates tell in their own words of their Civil War battles and of their varied careers after the war. Two classes graduated from West Point in 1861 because of Lincoln's need of lieutenants: forty-five cadets in Ames's class in May and thirty-four in Custer's class in June. The cadets range from Henry Algernon du Pont, first in the class of May, whose ancestral home is now Winterthur Garden, to Custer, last in the class of June. “Only thirty-four graduated,” rema...
Row, Rowe and Rosser Family
Thomas Row (1754-1840) married Rachel Keeling and served in the Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1778. The family moved from King and Queen County to Orange County, Virginia in 1779, following an uncle (Ernest Row) who had already made such a move. Absalom "Abbie" Row (1868-1931) was a direct descendant in the fourth generation. Abbie was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, and married Annie Juliet Rosser in 1893 in Summers County, West Virginia. They moved to Arkansas and Texas, returning to the family plantation of Greenfield near Strasburg, Virginia, and later finally settling at Alexandria, Virginia. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and elsewhere. Includes many lines of ancestry (chiefly nobility) in England, France, Germany and elsewhere (supposedly back to about 1300 B.C.). Includes genealogical data about other Row--Rowe immigrants to Virginia and elsewhere.

A Swindler's Progress
In May 1835 in a Sydney courtroom, a slight, balding man named John Dow stood charged with forgery. The prisoner shocked the room by claiming he was Edward, Viscount Lascelles, eldest son of the powerful Earl of Harewood. The Crown alleged he was a confidence trickster and serial impostor. Was this really the heir to one of Britain's most spectacular fortunes? Part Regency mystery, part imperial history, A Swindler's Progress is an engrossing tale of adventure and deceit across two worlds—British aristocrats and Australian felons—bound together in an emerging age of opportunity and individualism, where personal worth was battling power based on birth alone. The first historian to unravel...
The Rules of Disorder
Violence on the terraces, anarchy in the classroom: the popularly held view of youth as reported in the media. Rules of Disorder challenges this view, which is taken to be a misconception of contemporary youth.
The Subcultures Reader
The only collected work of its kind in the field, The Subcultures Readerbrings together the most valuable and stimulating writings on subcultures from the Chicago School to the present day. All the articles have been specially selected and edited for inclusion in the Readerand are grouped in sections, each with an editor's introduction. There is also a general introduction to the collection, which maps out the field of subcultural studies. Providing an essential guide to the subject, it enables students and teachers to understand how subcultural studies developed, the range of work it encompasses, and provides potential future directions of study throughout the field.
The Deadly Ethnic Riot
Donald L. Horowitz's comprehensive consideration of the structure and dynamics of ethnic violence is the first full-scale, comparative study of what the author terms the deadly ethnic riot—an intense, sudden, lethal attack by civilian members of one ethnic group on civilian members of another ethnic group. Serious, frequent, and destabilizing, these events result in large numbers of casualties. Horowitz examines approximately 150 such riots in about fifty countries, mainly in Asia, Africa, and the former Soviet Union, as well as fifty control cases. With its deep and thorough scholarship, incisive analysis, and profound insights, The Deadly Ethnic Riot will become the definitive work on it...
Exploring Evidence-based Practice
Despite sustained debate and progress the evolving thing that is evidence based nursing or practice (EBP) continues to dangle a variety of conceptual and practical loose threads. Moreover, when we think about what is being asked of students and registered or licenced practitioners in terms of EBP, it is difficult not to concede that this ‘ask’ is in many instances quite large and, occasionally, it may be unachievable. EBP has and continues to improve patient, client and user care. Yet significant questions concerning its most basic elements remain unresolved and, if nurses are to contribute to the resolution or reconfiguration of these questions then, as a first step, we must acknowledge...
Pearls Hang in Dark Clouds
At the onset of a bout with mental illness that erupted at the age of seventeen was when the author penned her first three poems, barring a few rhyming poems written as a child. Recovery began immediately. After the standard E.E.G. and prescribed psychiatric therapy, the worst of it was short lived. Having moved from the north to a stretch of the Bible Belt, Nashville, Tennessee, at age thirty, also sets a central theme for this deep psycho/spiritual journey through an interesting labyrinth of 1960s and 70s subculture that still lives on today. We are then transported into some profound and varied as well as a dappling of somewhat more traditional experiences with Christian spirituality. The...
