He Walks with Us
We all fear loss of independence, aging, and death. Helen certainly does when she comes to live at Happiness Hollow, an assisted-living facility described by some residents as a cult in which they are "killed with kindness." Choosing the wrong path to maintain her independence, Helen finds her life and health going downhill. During her heart attack, however, she receives a powerful vision which renews her lagging faith and gives her a mission. That mission is to use the seven sacraments in unorthodox ways to teach the Art of Living and the Art of Dying, and to liberate a small group of residents who, like her, have lost all joy, meaning, and purpose in their lives. Overcoming challenges, Hel...
Two Germans in the Civil War
"Daeuble's detailed diary entries and Rentschler's lengthy letters are important additions to the still-incomplete mosaic of the Civil War, not only because of their engaging content but also because they help fill significant voids created by an almost complete lack of published sources from Kentucky's Union soldiers and by the shortage of primary source materials about German immigrants who fought in the war."--Jacket.
The Civil War in Popular Culture
“An important read for anyone trying to sort through the current social and political controversy over the question of how do we memorialize the Civil War.” —Strategy Page Dividing the nation for four years, the American Civil War resulted in 750,000 casualties and forever changed the country’s destiny.

Empty Sleeves
"Brian Craig Miller provides medical history of the procedure, looks at men who rejected amputation, and examines how Southern men and women adjusted their ideas about honor, masculinity, and love in response to the presence of large numbers of amputees during and after the war. While some historians have explored the lives of the wounded, disabled and amputated soldiers throughout the major military conflicts of the twentieth century, few monographs have returned to a time when medical care remained primitive at best in American history: the Civil War... In his travels in the South over the past five years, Miller has combed through archives, producing a wealth of surgical and medical manuals, hospital records, surgeons reports, diary, letter and journal entries pertaining to amputation, legislative records, pension files and applications, newspaper reports and numerous anecdotes about what it means to lose a limb."--Provided by publisher.
