Army Generals and Reconstruction
The U.S. Army faced extraordinary problems while policing the post–Civil War South, and the task may have been the most difficult in Louisiana, where Reconstruction lasted longer than in any other of the former Confederate states. Beginning with General Benjamin Franklin Butler, who boasted that “in six months New Orleans should be a Union city or—a home of the alligators,” the Union generals who commanded Louisiana would meet with varying degrees of success in their attempts to enforce the constantly evolving Reconstruction policies of three administrations on a people who openly despised their conquerors. Covering the period from the fall of New Orleans to Federal forces through th...
From Omaha Beach to Dawson's Ridge
An infantry company commander in the U.S. Army's heralded 1st Infantry Division, Capt. Joseph Turner Dawson led his men through some of the most brutal battles of World War II. From the invasion of North Africa in late 1942 through Sicily and the assault on Normandy to the push toward the German frontier late in 1944, his length of service on the frontlines was extraordinary, and his heroism while holding off the Germans on a ridge near Aachen, Germany, is legendary. Based on Dawson's own combat journal, this book focuses on leadership in combat during the greatest human drama of the twentieth century. Dawson is at the heart of the drama as he describes the strain of constant combat and its ...
First Collection
First Collection is a first book of collected poems written by Joseph Dawson, and sons Ricardo and Marlon Dawson. Many of the poems in the book are amorous in nature. They are, in the view of the writers, every man's expression of thoughts and feelings encountered by the young and the old, lovers and would be lovers. The situations they unfold are the stretched imaginings of the three and perhaps some real events in the passage through the corridor of life. Poetry, in its broadest sense is a written expression in verse of the poet's imagination and is adorned by rhyme and rhythm in a setting we label as style. Poems can be as soothing as music or any other movement of grace and form of body, or language or both. This book tries to emulate and conform not so much to any fixed standard but in a manner that can be said to be in "popular parlance" and should find acceptance in an audience of people who generally like to read.
The Dance of Freedom
This anthology brings together the late Barry A. Crouch's most important articles on the African American experience in Texas during Reconstruction. Grouped topically, the essays explore what freedom meant to the newly emancipated, how white Texans reacted to the freed slaves, and how Freedmen's Bureau agents and African American politicians worked to improve the lot of ordinary African American Texans. The volume also contains Crouch's seminal review of Reconstruction historiography, "Unmanacling Texas Reconstruction: A Twenty-Year Perspective." The introductory pieces by Arnoldo De Leon and Larry Madaras recapitulate Barry Crouch's scholarly career and pay tribute to his stature in the field of Reconstruction history.
Second Collection
This book captures and reflects a medley of expressions of love, grief and the author's own view of life. The loss of his wife is often expressed in many of his poems and by them the embers of his grief still smolder.
The Texas Military Experience
In this first scholarly collection to focus on Texas' military heritage, prominent authors reevaluate famous personalities, reassess noted battles and units, call for new historical points to be considered, and bring fresh perspectives to such matters as the interplay of fiction, film, and historical understanding.
