Over the years, Frank Moore had attempted to find some one to write his biography but it never worked out. In 2010, he decided to start working on it himself.This book is the working document Frank created that he was working on, when he had time, up until his death in 2013. It covers his life up until around 1989.Frank constructed it primarily with the conversations he had with anthropologist Russell Shuttleworth from 1997 through 2009. The complete transcripts of those interviews are available in the book How to Handle an Anthropologist published in 2019 by Inter-Relations. He also used excerpts from his mother, Constance (Connie) Moore's autobiography, excerpts from his own writing, in particular from "Art of a Shaman," and an interview by Sheri Falco for a film, "Sex and Spirituality," that never was made.No attempt has been made to organize this material. It is presented in its raw form, as Frank left it, in the hope it will be valuable for future researchers interested in Moore's life.

In the essays, writings and rants of Frankly Speaking, roughly covering the period from the late 1970s until his death in 2013, Moore reveals his plan for the complete political and social transformation of American society (see Platform for Frank's Presidential Candidacy 2008), stirs up the "art world", urging fellow artists to truly live their calling and not accept censorship (see Art is Not Toothpaste or The Combine Plot), pulls the reader deeply into...

As many as 20,000 women worked in Union and Confederate hospitals during America’s bloodiest war. Black and white, and from various social classes, these women served as nurses, administrators, matrons, seamstresses, cooks, laundresses, and custodial workers. Jane E. Schultz provides the first full history of these female relief workers, showing how the domestic and military arenas merged in Civil War America, blurring the line between homefront and battlefront. Schultz uses government records, private manuscripts, and published sources by and about women hospital workers, some of whom are familiar — such as Dorothea Dix, Clara Barton, Louisa May Alcott, and Sojourner Truth — but most ...
