Download or read book Embattled Capital written by Robert M. Dunkerly and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the former Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, with “a good deal of historical information, much of it neglected in histories of the war” (The NYMAS Review). “On To Richmond!” cried editors for the New York Tribune in the spring of 1861. Thereafter, that call became the rallying cry for the North’s eastern armies as they marched, maneuvered, and fought their way toward the capital of the Confederacy. Just 100 miles from Washington, DC, Richmond served as a symbol of the rebellion itself. It was home to the Confederate Congress, cabinet, president, and military leadership. And it housed not only the Confederate government but also some of the Confederacy’s most important industry and infrastructure. The city was filled with prisons, hospitals, factories, training camps, and government offices. Through four years of war, armies battled at its doorsteps—and even penetrated its defenses. Civilians felt the impact of war in many ways: food shortages, rising inflation, a bread riot, industrial accidents, and eventually, military occupation. To this day, the war’s legacy remains deeply written into the city and its history. This book tells the story of the Confederate capital before, during, and after the Civil War, and serves as a guidebook including a comprehensive list of places to visit: the battlefields around the city, museums, historic sites, monuments, cemeteries, historical preservation groups, and more.
Download or read book Bald Eagle Vision 2 written by Jason ONeil and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel, Rory Flynn, son of Matt Flynn, the co-inventor of the Red Box Antigravity Device which revolutionized global transportation, is the billionaire grandfather of Nolan Flynn. Grandpa takes his 17-year-old grandson on a week-long tour of the national capital region. Their Turbopod multi-vehicle (T-Pod) carries them to key sites around the Chesapeake Bay. The journey begins and ends at the family home, Beauvista, overlooking Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. The purpose of the tour is to educate the young man about the many “ISMs” like Americanism, Federalism, Racism, Socialism and Communism. In addition to the Capitol, the duo visits museums, galleries, monuments, golf courses and French restaurants. Grandpa wants his grandson to “smell the roses along the way.” The youth has a rude awakening during a visit to a Middle School where the ugliness of the white versus black racism is taught. The role of the Teacher’s Unions in brainwashing the students with racism in order to divide the country for the Socialist government is clear. In addition, Nolan gets a lifetime lesson about how the Chinese Communists have infiltrated American society in preparation for a complete take-over. In the end, Nolan realizes why the Flynn Family has been dedicated to the fight against Socialism and Communism for decades. The tour convinces the savvy youth to take up the torch for American Patriotism. He takes pride in his new vision, much like that of the Bald Eagle, to dedicate his life to the fight against the ugly “ISMs” attempting to end our Democracy and Free-Enterprise economy and turn our country into a Third-World state controlled by Beijing.
