Originally published in six volumes, Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was called "the greatest historical biography of our generation". Sandburg distilled this work into one volume that became the definitive life of Lincoln." --Descripción del editor.
At the watershed Southern Baptist Convention of 1979, moderate forces fell before the powerful oratory of the ultra-conservative faction, which has remained in power ever since. Communication professors Carl L. Kell and L. Raymond Camp investigate the rhetorical shift from moderate to ultra-conservative in the post-1979 Southern Baptist Convention, the largest denomination in the South and the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. In the Name of the Father will appeal to those interested in rhetoric, religion, and contemporary Southern culture, especially the recent Disney boycott decision, the exclusion of women from the pulpit and denominational leadership positions, decisions affecting gays and lesbians, and the rhetoric of negativism towards liberals.
A detailed, illustrated account of another Union failure early in the Civil War. In December 1862, things were still confused for the Union. Antietam had been a failure for both sides, and although the battle showed that the Union army could bring the Confederates to bay, it couldn't pin them in one place long enough to destroy them. In December 1862, General Burnside, newly appointed to command the Army of the Potomac, planned to seize and secure the town of Fredericksburg, and then take the Confederate capital of Richmond. Carl Smith's book details the epic struggle that engulfed the Union side as it crossed the Rappahannock on December 11, encountering stiff opposition from Lee's men.
