A Kansas Soldier at War

The Civil War Letters of Christian & Elise Dubach Isely

By: Ken Spurgeon

“A valuable publication . . . A social historical case study of the conflicts of conscience experienced by countless families during the Civil War” (Civil War Books and Authors). When war broke out in 1861, Christian and Elise Dubach Isely, soon to be married, found themselves in the midst of the conflict. Having witnessed the atrocities of Bleeding Kansas firsthand and fearful of what would come from this war, Christian enlisted with the 2nd Kansas Cavalry to fight alongside Union forces. During the next three years, the couple would write hundreds of letters to each other, as well as to friends and family members. Their writings survive today, providing a unique look at the Civil War—one of both military and civilian perspectives—in a passionate exchange between husband and wife in which the war, faith, and family are discussed openly and frankly.

Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous

His Excellent Training in the Good Book as a Youngster in Vermont

By: Dick B.,Ken B.

A.A. Co-founder Dr. Bob stated he had had "excellent training" in the Bible as a youngster in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

They include the Town of St. Johnsbury, the Congregational Churches, his own church--the North Congregational Church, Sunday School, Christian Endeavor Society, the enormous impact of the Fairbanks family on the community and church and educational system, Dr. Bob's own deep family involvement in the church and town activities, the St. Johnsbury Academy, the town library (Athenaeum) and Fairbanks Museum, the YMCA, and the Great Awakening of 1875 that brought revivals, Gospel meetings, conversions, prayer, and Bible study to the fore.

Brenda Draney

Drink from the river

By: Jacqueline Kok,Graham Foy,David Garneau,Ken Lum,Souvankham Thammavongsa

Brenda Draneys Werk kreist um das komplexe Wesen von Intimität. Ausgehend von ihren eigenen Erinnerungen und Erfahrungen untersucht die kanadische Künstlerin die vielschichtigen Bedeutungsebenen von alltäglichen Motiven und Situationen. Das kumulative Porträt, das dabei entsteht, verweist auf ein kollektives Selbst, das nicht nur ihre eigenen Erfahrungen, sondern auch die vergangener Generationen und Mitglieder ihrer Community einbezieht. Doch statt zu reproduzieren, interessiert sich Draney für Bedeutungsverschiebungen durch individuell gefilterte Interpretationen. Bewusst arbeitet sie mit Leerstellen, die das Publikum einladen, sich intensiv mit den malerischen Fragmenten ihrer Darstellungen auseinanderzusetzen. Der reich bebilderte Katalog, der Draneys Einzelausstellung – organisiert von der Power Plant Art Gallery – in Toronto begleitet, führt breit gefächert in das Werk einer der bemerkenswertesten zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen Kanadas ein. Eine faszinierende Auswahl von bestehenden und neuen Werken wird durch Beiträge von kanadischen Kulturschaffenden kontextualisiert.
