Download or read book The Memoirs of General Turner Ashby and His Compeers Annotated Edition written by Rev. James Avirett and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough biography of Turner Ashby, who achieved immortality with his gallant ultimate sacrifice in the early part of the War Between the State's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Ashby was the beau ideal of the Confederacy, and really its first hero -- the one who set the standard for the Southern warrior-knight defending home and hearth. The Chaplain of the 7th Virginia Cavalry, James B. Avirett, who knew Ashby intimately, gives us an exciting look at life in what came to be known as the "Laurel Brigade." Originally published in 1867, it is a book for the "arm-chair historian" and academic alike. While many reprints have been done, this one has been re-typeset by a real person, and not by Optical Character Recognition software. There are unobtrusive explanations of Latin phrases and other archaic terms to aid the reader, but these have been kept to a minimum. This edition contains a bonus chapter courtesy of the Reverend Doctor Rondel Rumburg, former Chaplain-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and presently scholar in residence at the Society for Biblical and Southern Studies in Appomattox County, Virginia. This is a book that will be read for pure pleasure and that will be referenced again and again. It belongs on the shelf of every Southern partisan.
Download or read book Being Hal Ashby written by Nick Dawson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2009-04-17 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the director behind Harold and Maude, Being There, and other quirky classics: “A superb biography of this troubled, talented man.” —Tucson Citizen Hal Ashby set the standard for subsequent independent filmmakers by crafting unique, thoughtful, and challenging films that continue to influence new generations of directors. Initially finding success as an editor, Ashby won an Academy Award for editing 1967’s In the Heat of the Night, and translated his skills into a career as one of the quintessential directors of 1970s. Perhaps best remembered for the enduring cult classic Harold and Maude, Ashby quickly became known for melding quirky comedy and intense drama with performances from A-list actors such as Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail, Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn in Shampoo, Jon Voight and Jane Fonda in Coming Home, and Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine in Being There. But Ashby’s personal life was difficult. After enduring his parents’ divorce, his father’s suicide, and his own failed marriage all before the age of nineteen, he became notorious for his drug abuse, which contributed to the decline of his career near the end of his life. Ashby always operated outside Hollywood’s conventions, and though his output was tragically limited, the quality of his films continues to inspire modern directors as varied and talented as Judd Apatow and Wes Anderson, both of whom acknowledge Ashby as a primary influence. In Being Hal Ashby: Life of a Hollywood Rebel, the first full-length biography of the maverick filmmaker, Nick Dawson masterfully tells the turbulent story of Ashby’s life and career.

This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book that the eminent Confederate chaplain, J. William Jones, who labored with the Army of Northern Virginia said, " ...should be in every library." Regrettably, biographies of men like Turner Ashby (1828-1862) are not in every library, but they should be in your library. In a day when there is a dearth of wholesome role models for youth, it is wise not to look at contemporary athletes and rock stars but to men of history--those who possessed real character--those who found succor in God rather than in a bottle or a pill. This book chronicles the life of Turner Ashby, which provides inspirational and exciting reading for all ages. The editor, an academic historian, has provided a great deal of supplemental information including a section of the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of Stonewall Jackson in which Ashby participated. This particular edition is unique in that it has many extras without taking away from the original.
Download or read book A Woman s Civil War written by Cornelia Peake McDonald and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelia Peake McDonald kept a diary during the Civil War (1861- 1865) at her husband's request, but some entries were written between the lines of printed books due to a shortage of paper and other entries were lost. In 1875, she assembled her scattered notes and records of the war period into a blank book to leave to her children. The diary entries describe civilian life in Winchester, Va., occupation by Confederate troops prior to the 1st Manassas, her husband's war experiences, the Valley campaigns and occupation of Winchester and her home by Union troops, the death of her baby girl, the family's "refugee life" in Lexington, reports of battles elsewhere, and news of family and friends in the army.
