Introductions by Mauriel P Joslyn and JH Segars. In today's society we are unaccustomed to writings as bold and direct as those penned by Mildred Lewis Rutherford (1851-1928). The surviving papers of this Georgia educator provide an interpretation of Civil War History that is rarely found in modern texts. "Truths of History," first published in 1920, is an extraordinary presentation of historical viewpoints held by Southerners, past and present. Also included in this reprint is "Wrongs of History Righted," a fiery lecture given by Rutherford in 1914 in Savannah. Miss "Millie" Rutherford's insight into the mindset of Southerners is both fascinating and provocative. Few scholars were more keenly aware of the heart, mind and soul of the Confederate soldier than was this national orator and Grand Historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

For modern readers, the thought of African Americans serving within Confederate armies seems beyond comprehension and reason--and a paradox that contradicts all we thought we knew about the Civil War. Yet, this fine work presents historical accounts about African Americans who served within Confederate armies and includes photos and illustrations. 
This volume includes articles from historical journals as well as first-person narratives and accounts from the Official Records and is a compelling presentation of material that documents the activities of men of color who served the South during the Civil War. The accounts are enlightening--and mind boggling! 
A good reference for those interested in Civil War and Southern studies.

Downhome: Dispatches from Dixie is a collection of his true-life Southern yarns that he likes best. Some of the locales and names are familiar. Virginia Tech. Music Row. Junior Samples. Willie Nelson. A family reunion. But others concern places and events most folks never heard about. A tiny island in the Chesapeake Bay that time forgot. A Moonpie Murder. The beach game of Halfrubber. The Santa Train. With often humorous, always insightful prose, these pieces blur the border between journalism and literature.

Luke Ward Conerly

Financial planners encounter all kinds of clients and cases . . . but rarely are they called upon to solve a murder. In Old Florida, gossip and intrigue hangs like Spanish moss in live oaks. Arthur, a local financial planner, makes a begrudging promise to provide financial advice to an eccentric orange grove owner. But before Arthur can finish sifting through the financial mess and develop a plan, he finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. The case is riddled with problems. Locals are suspicious of him and hesitant to cooperate, estranged family members are in dire need of money and developers would have killed for the land before the real estate market shifted. Arthur is compelled to dig for clues and closely dodges some unsettling experiences for his efforts to solve the murder.

Similar to the Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn tales, this historical novel recounts the adventures of two boys in the mysterious rural area of Missouri named Amarugia (Am-a-ROO-GEE). In 1910, this agricultural region remained scarred by the Missouri/Kansas Border Wars that occurred during the War Between the States. In one of these Burnt Districts, the Smith and Swartz families continued to eke out a meager living. But when their children are converted to Christianity in a Brush Arbor Camp Meeting, realization comes that some things are more important in life than simply making a living. Consequently, family members begin to rely on Divine leadership for direction and purpose. Along the way, new adventures, love interests, and deep spiritual dimensions begin to unfold. This unusual historical story will appeal to both young readers and adults alike. The story serves as encouragement for families to explore the spiritual side of their busy lives.
