1. I never write reviews but this one I will write. This book is written about a forgotten part of our history and a part that one of my ancestors took part in. Being a southerner from northern Alabama, I had no idea until recently that i had a unionist ancestor. I have read the book twice to soak it up. It is full of easy to read and insightful analysis as well as facts and stories from the people who were there. Margaret Storey has taken the interviews from the Southern Claims Commission and woven them through the book with the well researched facts about the Unionist and the Civil War. I am writing a book on my family history and her book is now underlined from one end to the other for reference material. Even if you don't have an ancestor who was a Unionist this will still capture your attention and give you new insights into the war and the people. It certainly made me see that it was not a war of North against South but of Union against Confederacy. Thank you Ms. Storey for this book!

1 comments about Lincoln on God and Country.

1. We live in troubled times. The presidential candidate of one political p[arty is ridiculed for stating that Jesus is his favorite philosopher, and the vice-presidential candidate of the other political party is castigated for speaking about religion. What has happened to the moral tone of this country, which was founded by God-fearing men? Have we completely abandoned the idea that there is a Being who guides and guards us in all that we do? Abraham Lincoln, arguably our greatest president, believed that there was Someone watching over us at all times. He also believed vehemently that our governmental system was important, and that its structure was the best that could have been devised for the country. His words are eloquent, and call to us across the gap of 150 years. Reading this work, it is easy to restore some confidence in our governmental system, even though now it is being sorely tested by the eletoral events in Florida. This work could not have come along at a better time in our history, and it is well worth reading.

1 comments about The Human Tradition in the Civil Rights Movement (Human Tradition in America).

1. As a serious student of the Civil Rights Movement I am always looking for texts that put the events of the 50s and 60s into a larger historical context.This book make clear the unbroken posture of resistance that characterizes African American response to oppression from the Civil War to the present time. It also makes clear the connections between this Movement and other contemporary social justice movements. The writers take us into the lives of little known people and make their courage and humanity stunningly apparent.This book is a source of inspiration and hope.

1 comments about A History of Southern Missouri And Northern Arkansas: Being an Account of the Early Settlements, the Civil War, the Ku-klux, And Times of Peace (The Civil War in the West).

1. Absolutely riveting account of a very different brand of war compared to what was happening in the East. Interesting looks at personalities in the Ozarks during the 19th Century. Hard times, hard people.
