Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Bern was a valuable port city during the Civil War and the Confederates made many attempts to reclaim it. On March 14, 1862, Federal forces under the command of General Ambrose Burnside overwhelmed Confederate forces in the Battle of New Bern, capturing the town and its important seaport. From that time on, Confederates planned to retake the city. D.H. Hill and James J. Pettigrew made the first attempt but failed miserably. General George Pickett tried in February 1864. He nearly succeeded but called the attack off on the edge of victory. The Confederates made another charge in May led by General Robert Hoke. They had the city surrounded with superior forces when Lee called Hoke back to Richmond and ended the expedition. Author Jim White details the chaotic history of New Bern in the Civil War.
Download or read book A Templar s Journey written by Wr Chagnon and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WR Chagnon and contributing editor Judith Anne Chagnon, a brother-and-sister team, have a family history that stretches back to Clovis' court. Chip, a US Army veteran with 35 years of service, channeled his love of all things medieval to create the trilogy. Judith, a journalism graduate of Suffolk University, began her writing career with the Eagle-Tribune newspaper in Massachusetts. Together these Francophiles have created a novel that explores daily Templar life from the inside out. They are already working on the final book in the series, A Templar's Journey: The Final Glory. A handsome young squire of the Knights of the Templar continues to seek redemption from eternal damnation by continuing his quest in the Holy Land. Set against the backdrop of the Crusades in the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1186-87, this sequel to A Templar's Journey: The Squire from Champagne, finds Squire Roland once again risking his life to fight for Christianity and its followers in the lands of the infidels. Now serving as councilor to the grand master of the Temple, the danger has only escalated for Roland, who developed new skills of warfare and intrigue during the first leg of his quest. He is again accompanied by staunch allies: a man known as the best knight to have entered the Templar Order, a Celtic soldier known for his combat ability and his unholy ways within the order, a brutal, street-smart warrior, and a Jewish physician who also serves as a master spy and counter spy. Although he prepares to battle in the name of the Lord, Roland cannot help but fall in love with the beautiful Lady Marie of Baux, who loves him in return just as strongly. Danger and intrigue-from his enemies in the Holy Land and those within the Knights of the Templar-will shape his destiny in a land made darker by the shadows of Islam's crescent moon.

Download or read book In God s Hands written by Ellen Von zur Muehlen and published by Warren Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of Hummelshof, the authors family estate in todays Estonia, the author describes how a large, working estate was managed and the grand but formal lifestyle that was typical of that time and place. But intertwined in her description of elegant country house festivities, she also writes of her childhood at Hummelshof in an atmosphere of strict, Prussian discipline maintained by her mothers cold, imperial attitude toward the children. Suffering thus from a feeling of rejection and loneliness, the author develops a love of nature and a deep spirituality-her voices-which sustain her on many occasions during later years of war and deprivation. The remainder of her memoir is a saga of extraordinary times World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and World War II during which she repeatedly finds her and her familys survival in jeopardy, and culminating in the murder of her then former husband and much of his family by the Soviets. Finally, it is in their flight from the Soviets that she leads her elderly parents and young daughter through the burning ruins of Berlin in the last days of Nazi Germany.

Download or read book North Carolina Architecture written by Catherine W. Bishir and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning, lavishly illustrated history displays the wide range of North Carolina's architectural heritage, from colonial times to the beginning of World War II. North Carolina Architecture addresses the state's grand public and private buildings that have become familiar landmarks, but it also focuses on the quieter beauty of more common structures: farmhouses, barns, urban dwellings, log houses, mills, factories, and churches. These buildings, like the people who created them and who have used them, are central to the character of North Carolina. Now in a convenient new format, this portable edition of North Carolina Architecture retains all of the text of the original edition as well as hundreds of halftones by master photographer Tim Buchman. Catherine Bishir's narrative analyzes construction and design techniques and locates the structures in their cultural, political, and historical contexts. This extraordinary history of North Carolina's built world presents a unique and valuable portrait of the state.
