And Yet
These poems, written alternately by Vivian and Milo, trace their backgrounds before meeting and then their relationship through early adulthood and wedded life to old age.“This book of poems allows us to travel to where roads of life intertwine with lights, shadows, hopes, and sorrows. Many of these poems are thought-provoking and will touch the reader's very core. I strongly recommend this book.”--Maria Gabriela Madrid Bilingual Writer, International Editor and Director of Voices de la Luna Magazine in San Antonio, Texas“There are two muses dancing and singing between the lines. I am fascinated with the relationship between them which slips over to the reader who immediately is invited to the dance. Thank you for sharing an enlightening book of sincere, crisp and honest words.”-- Josie Mixon, Author. Her latest book is “Off the beaten path”
Medieval Culture and the Mexican American Borderlands
Their respective ancestral cultures in England and Spain, argue scholars Milo Kearney and Manuel Medrano, had common roots in medieval Europe, and both their conflicts and the shared understandings that may form the basis for their cooperation trace back to those days."--BOOK JACKET.
Civil War Scoundrels and the Texas Cotton Trade
During the Civil War, scoundrels from both the Union and Confederate sides were able to execute illicit, but ingenious, schemes to acquire Texas cotton. Texas was the only Confederate state that bordered a neutral country, it was never forcibly conquered, and its coast was impossible to effectively blockade. Using little known contemporary sources, this story reveals how charlatans exploited these conditions to run the blockade, import machinery and weapons, and defraud the state's most prominent political, military and civilian leaders in the process. Best known for his role in the romantic entanglements of his co-conspirator William Sprague, Harris Hoyt stands out due to his sharp intellect and fascinating character. Hoyt was able to draw most of Abraham Lincoln's inner circle into his web of deceit and even influenced the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. This is the first account to expose the depth and breadth of the many Texas cotton trading scams and the sheer audacity of the shadowy men who profited from them, but managed to escape the gallows.
