Birthstone – SAPPHIRE PAGE 40 A Night at the Movies Program The sapphire is the September birthstone. Some linguists and astrologists believe that its name comes from the Sanskrit word PAGE 43 sanipriya, meaning “sacred to Saturn.” Next to the diamond, the It’s Puzzling sapphire is one of the hardest materials known. Sapphires come in many colors (ranging from yellow to green and orange), but the finest sapphire color is a rich, velvety cornflower blue. The ancient Persians believed that Earth rested on a giant sapphire whose reflection gave the sky its color. Damigeron, a historian of old, wrote that kings wore sapphires to protect themselves from harm and envy and to attract divine favor. The gem was regarded as a symbol of truth, sincerity, and constancy.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} a Southern Woman's Story by Phoebe Yates Pember Phoebe Pember
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Southern Woman's Story by Phoebe Yates Pember Phoebe Pember. Phoebe Yates Levy Pember was born on August 18, 1823 to Jewish parents in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father, Jacob Levy, was a successful merchant and because of their wealth and status they socialized with the city’s elite in spite of any anti-Semitism they may have encountered. In 1856, Pember married outside her faith to Thomas Pember of Boston. Their marriage only lasted five years before her husband succumbed to tuberculosis in July 1861. Following her husbands death, Pember moved back in with her parents who fled their new home of Savannah, Georgia for the safety of Marietta, Georgia. However, the time Pember spent at home was not happy as she often quarreled with her father. Thus, in November of 1862, she accepted an offer from her good friend and wife of the Confederate Secretary of War Mary Pope Randolph to serve as chief matron for Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. During Pember’s tenure as matron Chimborazo was one of the largest hospitals in the world; in which its staff treated over 76,000 wounded and ill Confederate soldiers. Although Pember did not practice medicine she was a successful administrator. As chief matron, Pember oversaw the nursing operations in the second of the hospital’s five divisions with limited supervision from a chief medical officer, in which she attended to the dietary needs and the comfort of over 15,000 men. Pember was the first female administrator at Chimborazo and as such faced numerous attempts to undermine her authority.

  • Confederate Women and Narrative Of
    ~Chapter 10 Altars of Sacrifice: Confederate Women and the Narratives of War DREW GILPIN FAUST It is the men, Hector tells Andromache in the sixth book of the Iliad, who "must see to the fighting." From ancient history to our own time, war has centered on men, for they have controlled and populated its battlefields. Even in our era of shifting gender definitions, perhaps the most assertive-and successful--de­ fense of traditional roles has been the effort to bar women from combat. Yet war has often introduced women to unaccustomed responsibilities and unprecedented, even if temporary, enhance­ ments of power. War has been a preeminently "gendering" activ­ ity, casting thought about sex differences into sharp relief as it has both underlined and realigned gender boundaries. I Like every war before and since, the American Civil War served as an occasion for both reassertion and reconsideration of gender assumptions. Early in the conflict, Louisianian Julia Le Grand observed that "we are leading the lives which women have led since Troy fell." Yet because the Civil War was fundamen­ tally different from those that had preceded it, the place of women in that conflict stimulated especially significant examina­ tion and discussion of women's approprif!te relationship to war-and thus to society in general. Often designated the first "modern" or total war because of the involvement of entire pop- 172 Drew Gilpin Faust CONFEDERATE WOMEN AND NARRATIVES OF WAR 173 ulations in its terrible work of death, the Civil War required an "Confederate woman" as a form of false consciousness obscuring extraordinary level of female participation.

  • Hardships Suffered by The
    , THEIR FALTERING FOOTSTEPS: HARDSHIPS SUFFERED BY THE CONFEDERATE CIVILIANS ON THE HOMEFRONT IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR OF 1861-1865 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Judith Ann Spencer, B. S. Denton, Texas August, 1977 Spencer, Judith Ann, Their Faltering Footsteps: Hardships Suffered by the Confederate Civilians on the Homefront in the American Civil War of 1861-1865. Master of Science (History), August, 1977, 99 pp., bibliography, 86 titles. It is the purpose of this study to reveal that the morale of the southern civilians was an important factor in determining the fall of the Confederacy. At the close of the Civil War, the South was exhausted and weak, with only limited supplies to continue their defense. The Confederacy might have been rallied by the determination of its people, but they lacked such determination, for the hardships and grief they endured had turned their cause into a meaningless struggle. Therefore, the South fell because its strength depended upon the will of its population. This study is based on accounts by contemporaries in diaries, memoirs, newspapers, and journals, and it reflects their reaction to the collapse of homefront morale. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

    The Sons of Joshua (The Story of the Jewish Contribution to the Confederacy) Marc Jordan Ben-Meir, Ph.D. “Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the Israelites heeded him, doing as the Lord commanded Moses.” The Holy Bible Deuteronomy 34:9 “The quarrel between the North and the South is, as it stands, solely a fiscal quarrel.” Charles Dickens, 1861 2 INTRODUCTION I love the Old South and tales of the Civil War. The effort that went into this book was because I wanted to share with people my love of the period; a gentler time. When I was in college and later graduate school I had to read and absorb information from huge texts that almost outweighed me. Too much information!!! But I also didn’t want to write short blurbs. What I settled for is the book before you. Short, not overweight, but packed with information written in an easy to read format and a bibliography supporting what I am presenting. Who would have imagined that Jefferson Davis had three Jews in his cabinet? Please, read. Enjoy. 3 DEDICATION To my grandparents the Fox’s and the Friedman’s as well as my parents Murray and Shirley Friedman. My past. To my beloved wife Tina who makes my life worth living. Thank you for your patience and support; especially when I have one of these crazy ideas. My present. To Naphtali, Dr. Ron, and Jonathan Ben-Meir; my sons who carry my name into the future.
