Book excerpt: A story that strikes a chord deep in the heart and speaks to the values and emotions of us all, Crossing Purdy Creek is the life-affirming, intricately-woven account of an older woman coming to terms with her past. After her mothers death, Kate begins to experience an uncomfortable, inexplicable yearning to revisit the place where she grew up. She is haunted by a strange dream and disturbed by the memories that have surfaced. She cannot ignore the feeling that she needs to go home. Prompted by a friend, who suggests that Kate just might have a divine appointment, she finally returns to the setting of her childhood. The farmland of Ohio has changed a great deal; where fields of corn and wheat once stood, there are now streets, homes, and businesses. Most of the old families are gone. Kate questions the wisdom of her trip. But then she locates a familiar face, and an old friendship is rekindled. In the process she discovers some amazing information about her life. The account that follows is a touching family drama, a story of unconditional love in the face of rejection and condemnation. It is a story of uncommon courage and healing in the face of shame, loss, and heartbreak. Its an inspiring story of Gods leading. Reverberating with notes of tenderness and victory, Crossing Purdy Creek reminds us that God surely has a purpose for every life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulysses S. Grant once remarked that the Battle of Shiloh “has been perhaps less understood, or, to state the case more accurately, more persistently misunderstood, than any other engagement . . . during the entire rebellion.” In Rethinking Shiloh, Timothy B. Smith seeks to rectify these persistent myths and misunderstandings, arguing that some of Shiloh’s story is either not fully examined or has been the result of a limited and narrow collective memory established decades ago. Continuing the work he began in The Untold Story of Shiloh, Smith delves even further into the story of Shiloh and examines in detail how the battle has been treated in historiography and public opinion. The nine essays in this collection uncover new details about the battle, correct some of the myths surrounding it, and reveal new avenues of exploration. The topics range from a compelling analysis and description of the last hours of General Albert Sidney Johnston to the effect of the New Deal on Shiloh National Military Park and, subsequently, our understanding of the battle. Smith’s careful analyses and research bring attention to the many relatively unexplored parts of Shiloh such as the terrain, the actual route of Lew Wallace’s march, and post-battle developments that affect currently held perceptions of thatfamed clash between Union and Confederate armies in West Tennessee. Studying Shiloh should alert readers and historians to the likelihood of misconceptions in other campaigns and wars—including today’s military conflicts. By reevaluating aspects of the Battle of Shiloh often ignored by military historians, Smith’s book makes significant steps toward a more complete understanding and appreciation of the Shiloh campaign in all of its ramifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-two years after the battle of Shiloh, Lew Wallace returned to the battlefield, mapping the route of his April 1862 march. Ulysses S. Grant, Wallace's commander at Shiloh, expected Wallace and his Third Division to arrive early in the afternoon of April 6. Wallace and his men, however, did not arrive until nightfall, and in the aftermath of the bloodbath of Shiloh Grant attributed Wallace's late arrival to a failure to obey orders. By mapping the route of his march and proving how and where he had actually been that day, the sixty-seven-year-old Wallace hoped to remove the stigma of "Shiloh and its slanders." That did not happen. Shiloh still defines Wallace's military reputation, overshadowing the rest of his stellar military career and making it easy to forget that in April 1862 he was a rising military star, the youngest major general in the Union army. Wallace was devoted to the Union, but he was also pursuing glory, fame, and honor when he volunteered to serve in April 1861. In Shadow of Shiloh: Major General Lew Wallace in the Civil War, author Gail Stephens specifically addresses Wallace's military career and its place in the larger context of Civil War military history.
