For a short introduction to the vulnerabilities that the families faced, be sure to pick up this book." Reviewed by Brenda Ramsbacher for Scribblers DESCRIPTION: A nation is immersed in battle when Josiah Simmons leaves behind his childhood sweetheart and the rocky coastline of Maine to join the Union cause in the Civil War. Like his fellow comrades in arms, he believes the Union will gain a quick victory. What he doesn't anticipate are the tiresome marches, the homesickness, and the gruesome nightmare of battle. When Josiah encounters a Confederate soldier named Paul Wendall on the battlefield at Fredericksburg, an unlikely sacrifice sends him on a dangerous mission into enemy territory on behalf of the soldier. A bewildered Southern family, avenging townspeople, and a new love await him at the journey's end. Can the power of selflessness he witnessed in Fredericksburg help him face an uncertain future?

The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians...ignore the banks for the river."

Extractions: Recent discoveries of underground caverns below the town indicate that Cavershams name may imply just what it sounds like: Caves Home The Cell of Austin Canons, from Notely Abbey in Long Crendon (Bucks), who had their living at Caversham, did not have an official rank but the establishment was often known as Caversham Priory . It was founded in 1162, when Caversham Church was given to Notely Abbey by Walter Giffard, 1st Earl of Buckingham, who owned the manor. As Keeper of nearby Windsor Castle , he probably spent quite a lot of time here, even though he owned vast estates all over the country. Edward the Martyr (which may have been brought from Reading s Saxon nunnery) and King Henry VI The Chapel of Our Lady of Caversham may have moved to be within the walls of St. Peters Church in later years. It was finally suppressed in 1538. Its original site is generally thought to have had the Old Rectory, alias Caversham Court, built upon it. Built around two courtyards, its beautiful timber-framing led to its nickname of the Striped House . It had a 1638 staircase, with bullet holes from a Civil War attack, and an elaborate decorated plaster ceiling. Both survived an almost total rebuilding programme by Pugin (1840) under the patronage of the great brewing Simonds family; but the house only lasted about a hundred more years and the area is now a public park.

Extractions: Civil War Siege Castle Richard Abberbury the Elder was granted a licence to crenellate his castle at Donnington by Richard II in 1386. The present gatehouse dates from this time. Abberbury had been one of the young King's guardians, when his father was still alive. The castle was later bought by Chaucer (the poet)'s son, Thomas . He was Constable of Wallingford Castle as well, but his main residence was at Ewelme (Oxon). Through him, the place became associated with the Dukes of Suffolk. Henry VII and Elizabeth I both visited in their time. both visited in their time. both visited in their time. During the Civil War, the castle was quickly taken for the King and held by Sir John Boys . Its guns held off the parliamentary army during the Second Battle of Newbury . After this Royalist victory, it was placed under a rather half-hearted siege. The troops there eventually pulled back to Oxford. Donnington Village was almost totally destroyed.
Extractions: Augusta Editor: Tom Stafford's Jan. 8 letter, Writer has it wrong: Money was root of the war, brings up several issues that are worthy of discussion. The first question I have is why he chooses to ignore what the Confederates had to say about the cause of secession and the resulting Civil War, but instead relies on people like Charles Dickens, Nikolai Lenin and Karl Marx to make his points. Excuse me, but I dont believe most people would accept these folks as reliable sources of American history. The statements made in my Dec. 4 letter contained only quotes from the Confederates, themselves, at the time of secession. Im sorry if Stafford doesnt like what Confed-erate Gen. Henry Benning, Vice President Alexander Stephens and the South Carolina Secession Con-vention had to say in regard to slavery and white supremacy being the cause of the Civil War. These quotes were made by the Confederates, not me. Stafford is correct when he quotes Abraham Lincolns inaugural speech of March 4, 1861 where Lincoln states, I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the United States where it exists. Stafford fails to mention that most of the South had already seceded when the speech was made.
Extractions: Martinez Editor: I support efforts for a monument to Columbia Countians who fought for the Confederacy, because I honor and respect those who fought on both sides of the Civil War. But the Oct. 6 letter by David Butler, the commander of the Evans branch of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is a remarkable exercise in historical distortion. Butler rightly believes that history books often omit many pertinent facts about the era, but he does the same thing to suit his own agenda. My own ancestors fought for the South. The overwhelming majority of Southerners were far too poor to ever own a slave. Many Northerners weren't opposed to slavery. States' rights and secession were the immediate causes of the Civil War. Southern soldiers, though vastly outnumbered, fought bravely and well throughout the war. History texts often point out the inhumane conditions at Andersonville without any corresponding reference to the harsh treatment many Confederate troops received while in Union prisoner-of-war camps. Alexander Stephens, the vice president of the Confederacy and one of the drafters of the Confederate constitution, stated that slavery was "the proper status of the Negro." Prior to secession, Stephens had written to Abraham Lincoln that efforts to restrict or ban slavery aroused in the South "a spirit not only of general indignation" but also of "revolt."

Extractions: Civil War books, newspapers, documentaries. Camera, film, presentation boards to display photographs. Expressions from the Past Background: The Civil War introduced a new art form to the world: photography. Photographs, unlike the artistic renderings of the battle scenes, were graphic representations of the horror of war. The artist tended to present a romantic view of war, while the camera showed its realities. The photographer would often arrive at the battle scenes one to two days after the event, when bodies would still be lying on the ground where they had fallen. The photographers during the Civil War spoke of "smelling the great battles before seeing them." Photographers of the time would take liberties and often stage shots, but most of the time the scenes needed no props. The reality of the scenes conveyed the message quite well, for the first time in history the names of the dead now had faces. Methods: Have students research Civil War books and newspapers for photographs or watch Civil War documentaries such as PBS' THE CIVIL WAR CIVIL WAR JOURNAL.
