At the beginning of the Civil War, Georgia ranked third among the Confederate states in manpower resources, behind only Virginia and Tennessee. With an arms-bearing population somewhere between 120,000 and 130,000 white males between the ages of 16 and 60, this resource became an object of a great struggle between Joseph Brown, governor of Georgia, and Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. Brown advocated a strong state defense, but as the war dragged on Davis applied more pressure for more soldiers from Georgia. In December 1863, the state's general assembly reorganized the state militia and it became known as Joe Brown's Pets. Civil War historians William Scaife and William Bragg have written not only the first history of the Georgia Militia during the Civil War, but have produced the definitive history of this militia. Using original documents found in the Georgia Department of Archives and History that are too delicate for general public access, Scaife and Bragg were granted special permission to research the material under the guidance of an archivist and conducted under tightly controlled conditions of security and preservation control.

This volume documents the creation of Chocolate Woman Dreams the Milky Way, a play written and performed by Monique Mojica with collaborators from diverse disciplines. Inspired by the pictographic writing and mola textiles of the Guna, an indigenous people of Panama and Colombia, the book explores Mojica's unique approach to the performance process. Her method activates an Indigenous theatrical process that privileges the body in contrast to Western theater's privileging of the written text, and rethinks the role of land, body, and movement, as well as dramatic story-structure and performance style. Co-authored with anthropologist Brenda Farnell, the book challenges the divide between artist...

The Western Story: A Chronological Treasury consists of twenty Western stories spanning the years 1892 to 1994. For that generation of American writers who saw the frontier in the last century?including Mark Twain, Bret Harte, and Owen Wister?it seemed exotic, strange, wonderful. Others, such as Frederic Remington and John G. Neihardt, reflected the clash between various Indian nations and pioneers. These authors prepared the way for the founders of the first Golden Age of the Western story: Willa Cather, who wrote of pioneer life in Nebraska; Zane Grey, who combined wilderness experiences with romance and the search for spiritual truth; B. M. Bower, who portrayed the cowboys and frontier wo...

SIRI NOVEL RAJAWALI FC - Hebat sangat ke kau ni? “Atok tengok, bahagian defend kamu okey tapi macam kurang berkomunikasi. Kamu tahu tak, pemain pertahanan kadang kala boleh menjadi posisi paling memenatkan dalam permainan bola sepak? Terutamanya apabila striker lawan menyerang bagai nak rak. Lagi-lagi pula kena counter attack. Kalau tak pun, mesti midfielders tak buat kerja... Senang cerita mereka ni memang pemalas... Atau mereka ni langsung tak berfungsi nak sweep serangan lawan. Paling tak guna, bila mereka tak boleh control bola dan asyik tersangkut je bila nak passing.” Sekali lagi Joe, Wira, Guna, Arman, Yusri, Along dan Bob ternganga. Biar betul apa yang mereka dengar ni?
