The Soldier's Words
Since I began Civil War re-enacting in 1988, there have been two schools of thought regarding the uniform of the Confederate soldiers. One is that the Rebels were never ragged, that was just a romantic myth started after the war. The other school of thought is that the Rebels were always ragged and wore whatever they could get their hands on. I decided that the best way to discover the truth is by investigating, what the soldiers themselves said regarding their clothing through letters, diaries and memoirs. This book uses the soldiers own words regarding Confederate uniforms and includes many surprising anecdotes and some "firsts" regarding incidents of the Civil War.
Chefs of the Triangle
Drawing from personal interviews, Prospero has written 28 profiles of both established and up-and-coming chefs from the Triangle region of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Cary, and Pittsboro). Each entry reveals the chef's philosophy, influences, and personality. Each profile also describes the ambience of the chef's restaurant and offers one or two of the chef's recipes.
The Past is Never Dead
Psychiatrist David "Gritz" Goldberg is caught up in a historical mystery when his childhood caretaker, T Royal, returns to Asheville, North Carolina, after a long absence. T has been plagued by the ghost of Mordecai Moore, a young black man put to death sixty-five years earlier for a murder he didn't commit. Gritz's investigations into the murder turn up dirty secrets involving prominent people.
Tar Heel Laughter
One of the few books concerned solely with the humor of a single state, this volume includes samples of what North Carolinians have laughed at -- and with -- from 1709 to the present. It is a rich anthology of Tar Heel anecdotes, homespun quips, hilarious stories, folklore, exaggerations, and observations. In this wide range of humor, Walser has provided a valuable recording of American folklore and the social history of North Carolina.
Life Stories
Life Stories: Exploring Issues in Educational History Through Biography consists of 13 essays, each of which offers perspective on one of four key questions that have long drawn scholarly attention: What should schools teach? Who gets to decide? How should educators adapt to a changing world to provide opportunity for all students? How should educators’ experiences be interpreted for future audiences? The book is written to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the International Society for Educational Biography and its journal, Vitae Scholasticae. All of the essays have appeared in the journal, and they are set in a variety of educational environments that span 174 years. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the important contributions that biography can make to educational history. Life Stories would be of interest to educational biographers and historians for use in their own scholarly work. Instructors might also consider assigning Life Stories as a required text in educational history courses.
