Описание: The Civil War divided the nation, communities, and families. The town of Batesville, Arkansas, found itself occupied three times by the Union army. This compelling book gives a unique perspective on the war's western edge through the diary of Mary Adelia Byers (1847-1918), who began recording her thoughts and observations during the Union occupation of Batesville in 1862. Only fifteen when she starts her diary, Mary is beyond her years in maturity, as revealed by her acute observations of the world around her. At the same time, she appears very much a child of her era. Having lost her father at a young age, she and her family depend on the financial support of her Uncle William, a slaveowner and Confederate sympathizer. Through Mary's eyes we are given surprising insights into local society during a national crisis. On the one hand, we see her flirting with Confederate soldiers in the Batesville town square and, on the other, facing the grim reality of war by -setting up- through the night with dying soldiers. Her journal ends in March 1865, shortly before the war comes to a close. Torn by War reveals the conflicts faced by an agricultural social elite economically dependent on slavery but situated on the fringes of the conflict between North and South. On a more personal level, it also shows how resilient and perceptive young people can be during times of crisis. Enhanced by extensive photographs, maps, and informative annotation, the volume is a valuable contribution to the growing body of literature on civilian life during the Civil War.

Описание:
This excellent book is a beautiful illustration of a life well lived. The life of this exemplary young man was cut short by ruthless, brutal enemies. I believe every person, especially every American youth, should read these true and inspiring words. Joshua Byers is one of the finest examples of what we need Americans to be. This writing will bring you to a new level of finding meaning and direction in your life. Ross Campbell, M.D. Retired child Psychiatrist and best selling author.
I feel as though I know Josh better and look forward to having conversations with him in Heaven. We all think our children are the most special, but Josh really stood out from the crowd. I love how you have woven Josh's last words into a lesson on life. It is a tribute to Josh, but yet it is so much more. Molly Morel National President American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. (2010-2011) Molly is the proud Gold Star Mom of Captain Brent Morel, KIA Iraq, 2004.
As a friend and West Point classmate of Josh, this book strikes home for me. As a combat veteran and infantry officer, my service in Iraq and Afghanistan was just like his. This book portrays so much about the ideals and sacrifices of a real hero and the struggles of so many of our families at home. It's a true portrayal of life at war, both at home and in combat. Josh's sacrifice will always be honored and I will keep moving forward in his name. Mike Jones Executive Director of Not Alone, Inc. www.notalone.com

Описание: Duck decoys represent a deep-seated interest in nature that has resulted - in North America - in the conservation of its natural wetlands. Yet decoys were used by Australian Aborigines and have since evolved over the millennia on the driest of all inhabited continents. Such a unique legacy, in all its forms and with all its history, offers a potential value that can enhance global conservation - by way of this extraordinary craft art. The origins of the duck decoy are thus attributed to the Australian Aborigines, beginning about 20,000 years ago. Ancient bark discs were the first material form of duck decoy; the modern form in Australia derived some 165 years ago out of Scandinavia in company with early European settlers. Duck decoys and callers in Australia have evolved through hand-made, mass-produced and decorative styles - coinciding with shifts in active interest in waterfowl from food to later recreational pursuits to a now-increasing value as art and other imagery. This long history, representing a range of appealing waterfowl species unique to this continent, is an essential part of the global duck decoy legacy and is documented in detail for the first time in this book. Selected examples of the broad collections of enduring Australian decoys and callers are illustrated here, including reference to the leading carvers and collectors working in this most colourful biogeographic realm.
