At one point I stopped, and asked the simple question, "What were the battle errors that contributed to the Southern Army loosing the war?" As a U.S. Navy Seabee in World War II, I experienced first-hand the conditions of combat during the invasions of Saipan and Tinian. I also served later during the Vietnam War as an officer at Subic Bay in the Philippines. I finished my military service as a Commander in the US Navy Reserves. These experiences were helpful in analyzing and appreciating battle conditions in writing this book. There was a cluster of battle events that registered failure for the Southern Army, and I found them at the battle of Gettysburg.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

The celebration of male power, beauty, and homosocial relationships in Westerns is compelling to many readers and viewers. Although the form of masculinity idealized in the Western is in opposition to the majority's stereotypical constructions of male homosexuality, both man-loving men and those who claim to reject same-sex attraction have found a great deal of interest in the narrative. Development and Form of the Western The national fantasy of the Western has its roots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the wars between Native Americans and European colonists. It developed during the rapid westward movement of settlers and the continuing conflict with native peoples after the American Revolution.
