Forrest

The Confederacy's Relentless Warrior

By: Robert M. Browning

Revered by some, loathed by others, Nathan Bedford Forrest has long been considered one of the greatest soldiers of the American Civil War. Responsible for his family at a young age, he quickly developed traits - self-reliance, decisiveness, and assertiveness - that would later make him famous. In business, the uneducated Forrest quickly made a fortune in various endeavors, including the slave trade. When the Civil War began, Forrest became an adept recruiter and leader, despite his lack of training in military science. His cavalrymen became famous for the forced marches, deception, and audacious battlefield maneuvers they used to defeat forces that often outnumbered them. In 1864, Forrest gained notoriety for his participation in the battle for Fort Pillow, Tennessee. In a controversy that persists today, the high casualty rate among African-American troops who surrendered there led to charges that Forrest's men had perpetrated a racially motivated massacre. After the war, Forrest became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan while promoting reconciliation between North and South amid the chaos of Reconstruction."--Jacket

Insecti (Cide)

... Something Sinister Is in the Air

By: Robert Hannan Levitt

In the shadow of COVID-19, a new threat emerged. Scientists are tantalizingly close to creating Super-Plants for the benefit of mankind. But bad decisions and an unforeseen act of nature turns celebration into despair. Somehow the impossible occurred. Grounded in accepted and speculative science, INSECTi(cide) takes you on a fascinating journey with as many twists, turns, and terrifying moments as the Coney Island Cyclone. It’s about a rogue plant whose characteristics are derived from tinkering with the common dandelion. Events are told through the voices of two teenage boys—one a Kiwi from Christchurch, the other an indigenous Nenet from Siberia—and a twenty-something New Jersey molecular biologist with streaked blond hair and a killer recipe for cranberry chutney. The intrigue stays true right up until the end.

Defining Moments

Historic Decisions by Arkansas Governors from McMath Through Huckabee

By: Robert L. Brown

Defining Moments explores how all Arkansas governors since Sid McMath (a group that has produced a president, two U.S. senators, and two presidential contenders) acted in times of crisis. These ten exceptional leaders stand out in Arkansas history and politics for having had their personal and political mettle tested by issues concerning education, the environment, social justice, the conduct of politics, race, and more of the nation's defining debates. The governors and situations covered include Sid McMath's bout with the Dixiecrats; Francis Cherry's ploy to label his opponent a Communist; Orval Faubus's decision to block integration at Little Rock Central High; Winthrop Rockefeller's tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. on the State Capitol steps; Dale Bumpers's battle against political corruption; David Pryor's veto of the U.S. Corps of Engineers's Bell Folley Dam; Frank White's endorsement of Creationism; Bill Clinton's decision to test public school teachers; Jim Guy Tucker's bold solution for the Medicaid program and his resignation; and Mike Huckabee's quest to consolidate the state's high school districts. Robert Brown, who knew nine of the ten governors personally and worked as an aide for Dale Bumpers and Jim Guy Tucker, tells these stories with an unusual combination of historical research and personal familiarity. He crystallizes the difficult choices faced by these memorable leaders, showing how their decisions at crucial points shaped their tenures, molded their legacies for good or bad, and shaped history.

Birch Bayh

Making a Difference

By: Robert Blaemire

A biography of the US senator from Indiana who was behind such monumental legislation as the 25th Amendment and Title IX. A remarkable history of one of the most legendary US senators of our time, Birch Bayh: Making a Difference reveals a life and career dedicated to the important issues facing Indiana and the nation, including civil rights and equal rights for women. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, right before the Great Depression, Birch Bayh served more than 25 years in the Indiana General Assembly (1954–1962) and the United States Senate (1963–1981). His influence was seen in landmark legislation over his tenure, including Title IX, the 25th Amendment, the 26th Amendment, Civil Rights of the Institutionalized, Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Act, and the Bayh-Dole Act. Bayh was also the author, chief Senate sponsor, and floor leader of the Equal Rights Amendment and successfully led the opposition to two Nixon nominees to the Supreme Court. Robert Blaemire profiles not only the prolific career of this remarkable senator but also an era when compromise and bipartisanship were common in Congress. “Bayh has long needed a comprehensive biography, and Robert Blaemire has provided an insider’s account of Bayh’s life and career and places him among Indiana’s leading political figures.” —Ray E. Boomhower, author of Robert F. Kennedy and the 1968 Indiana Primary “The story of Birch Bay’s political career is completely inspiring, especially in an era that has lost touch with bipartisanship and civility. A must read for Hoosiers and for anyone interested in how democracy worked, when it really worked.” —Ted Widmer, historian and former presidential speechwriter

This Land

A Guide to Central National Forests

By: Robert H. Mohlenbrock

Part armchair travelogue, part guide book, this projected three-volume series—divided into the western, central, and eastern United States—will introduce readers to all 155 national forests across the country. This Land is the only comprehensive field guide that describes the natural features, wildernesses, scenic drives, campgrounds, and hiking trails of our national forests, many of which—while little known and sparsely visited—boast features as spectacular as those found in our national parks and monuments. Each entry includes logistical information about size and location, facilities, attractions, and associated wilderness areas. For about half of the forests, Robert H. Mohlenbrock has provided sidebars on the biological or geological highlights, drawn from the "This Land" column that he has written for Natural History magazine since 1984. Superbly illustrated with color photographs, botanical drawings, and maps, this book is loaded with information, clearly written, and easy to use. This volume covers national forests in: Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming

Lineage Book of Hereditary Order of Descendants of Colonial Governors

By: Robert Glenn Thurtle

This work, a verbatim transcription of the three successful charters defining the scope and authority of the Virginia Company and listing its stockholders in England and Virginia, is an important companion work to Professor Craven's booklet above. The text of the three charters is taken from a contemporary copy discovered among the Chancery Rolls of the Public Record Office in London shortly before this work's original publication. The accompanying documents serve to illustrate some of the practical issues pertaining to the administration of the colony, and, taken together, this collection may be construed as the Virginia "constitution" for the colony's first fifteen years of existence.

“First With The Most” Forrest

“First With The Most” Forrest

By: Robert Selph Henry

Nathan Bedford Forrest did not invent mobilized guerilla warfare, but he did modernize and polish it to an extent that has left few theoretical areas for improvement. Tanks and jeeps, it could even be said, do not possess the mobility relative to the main force which they attach that Forrest’s dedicated band of horsemen enjoyed. Following in the footsteps of Francis Marion and Lighthorse Harry Lee, American practitioners of the devastating hit-and-run cavalry attach of the Revolutionary War, Forrest raised their effective but geographically limited campaigns to an art-form spread over the widest possible tactical theatre. He accomplished this with superior knowledge of terrain and of horses coupled and with an iron will, a complete disregard for physical exhaustion (his own and that of his men) and, this book will demonstrate, by the most admirable sort of sheer country orneriness. Forrest, a man of simple upbringing, is the perfect symbol for the odd mélange that was the Confederate Army; patrician West Pointers like Lee side by side by unregenerate racists like Forrest. These well-bred students of battles and from the classical era were not prevented by an almost unimaginable difference in class from being able to recognize the tactical genius of a farmer from the low country... That any scholar of this history of warfare would have to judge Forrest rather more harshly for his conduct after the war than this conduct during it is just another tragic aspect of the larger tragedy that generated The War Between the States. Heroes rose from unlikely places and returned, when the time for heroism had past, to their more unheroic pursuits. Whether than return negates the valor shown during the conflict is only for you to determine, after you have learned of Forrest’s life in all its aspects, heroic, and less so.

The Regulation of Boxing

A History and Comparative Analysis of Policies Among American States

By: Robert G. Rodriguez

This first nationwide study of boxing regulations in the United States offers an historical overview of the subject, from the earliest attempts at regulating the sport to present-day legislation that may create a national boxing commission. It examines the disparity of regulations among states, as well as the reasons for some of these differences. The work features interviews with boxing officials, analysts and boxers, and includes the results of a national survey of state athletic commission personnel. In-depth case studies of boxing regulations in Nevada and Kansas provide a close look at different states' methods, and Argentina's centralized system of regulation is presented as a comparison to the U.S. approach.

Justice Takes a Recess

Judicial Recess Appointments from George Washington to George W. Bush

By: Scott E. Graves,Robert M. Howard

The Constitution allows the president to "fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commission which shall expire at the End of their next Session." This book addresses how presidents have used recess appointments over time and whether the independence of judicial recess appointees is compromised. The authors examine every judicial recess appointment from 1789 to 2005 and conclude that the recess appointment clause, as it pertains to the judiciary, is no longer necessary or desirable. They argue that these appointments can upset the separation of powers envisioned by the framers, shifting power from one branch of government to another. The strategic use of such appointments by strong presidents to shift judicial ideology, combined with the lack of independence exhibited by judicial recess appointments, results in recess power that threatens constitutional features of the judicial branch.

The Better Angels

Five Women Who Changed Civil War America

By: Robert C. Plumb

Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara Barton, Julia Ward Howe, and Sarah Josepha Hale came from backgrounds that ranged from abject enslavement to New York City’s elite. Surmounting social and political obstacles, they emerged before and during the worst crisis in American history, the Civil War. Their actions became strands in a tapestry of courage, truth, and patriotism that influenced the lives of millions—and illuminated a new way forward for the nation. In this collective biography, Robert C. Plumb traces these five remarkable women’s awakenings to analyze how their experiences shaped their responses to the challenges, disappointments, and joys they encountered on their missions. Here is Tubman, fearless conductor on the Underground Railroad, alongside Stowe, the author who awakened the nation to the evils of slavery. Barton led an effort to provide medical supplies for field hospitals, and Union soldiers sang Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on the march. And, amid national catastrophe, Hale’s campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday moved North and South toward reconciliation.

Nothing but Love in God’s Water

Volume 2: Black Sacred Music from Sit-Ins to Resurrection City

By: Robert Darden

Volume 1 of Nothing but Love in God’s Water traced the music of protest spirituals from the Civil War to the American labor movement of the 1930s and 1940s, and on through the Montgomery bus boycott. This second volume continues the journey, chronicling the role this music played in energizing and sustaining those most heavily involved in the civil rights movement. Robert Darden, former gospel music editor for Billboard magazine and the founder of the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project at Baylor University, brings this vivid, vital story to life. He explains why black sacred music helped foster community within the civil rights movement and attract new adherents; shows how Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders used music to underscore and support their message; and reveals how the songs themselves traveled and changed as the fight for freedom for African Americans continued. Darden makes an unassailable case for the importance of black sacred music not only to the civil rights era but also to present-day struggles in and beyond the United States. Taking us from the Deep South to Chicago and on to the nation’s capital, Darden’s grittily detailed, lively telling is peppered throughout with the words of those who were there, famous and forgotten alike: activists such as Rep. John Lewis, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, and Willie Bolden, as well as musical virtuosos such as Harry Belafonte, Duke Ellington, and The Mighty Wonders. Expertly assembled from published and unpublished writing, oral histories, and rare recordings, this is the history of the soundtrack that fueled the long march toward freedom and equality for the black community in the United States and that continues to inspire and uplift people all over the world.

Live Until You Die

By: Chaplain Robert Howard Bole

I knew by the title and the writer I would enjoy Live Until You Die. What I was not prepared for was--I read the book in two sittings. I could not put it down. There truly is something for all ages and interest. As you read this book you will think of dozens of people you want to share it with. Beware--it may challenge some of your current thinking. I plan to use some of Bob's material when I teach home-care workers. It personally hit me from all directions--nurse, wife of a person with Alzheimer's, mother, grandmother, and most of all as a Christian helping my struggling family with the ups and downs of life on this earth. Live until You Die will remind all readers of God's love for us and give us inspiration to truly LIVE our lives in the present, being aware of all that is around us." --Brenda Dunn, RN, BSN, founder and CEO of hospice of Montezuma, CO, and Family Life Care in Florida and Colorado. "Chaplain Robert Howard Bole uses many of his experiences as illustrations in his book to help us to better understand that we should take time to consider how to live better lives and to get the best out of life. He has the ability to speak people's language clearly and with a depth of sensitivity. It offers hope and answers for persons who are just going through the motions as they live from day to day to change their attitudes and habits and enjoy life while they are alive. It can provide practical help for persons who have really forgotten how to live and enjoy life. This book is a significant work that is written in a balanced and sensitive way. I highly recommend it." -Francis Yorke, PhD (candidate), Deputy Director Jamaica School of Preaching and Biblical Studies, Kingston, Jamaica. "Once again I am amazed with Dr. Bole's style of teaching as he succinctly helps us make sense of how to live and draw purpose from life, even into our seventies, eighties, and well beyond. His book, Live Until You Die, is peppered with lyrics from popular songs over the past several decades as well as philosophical phrases from timeless writers. His sense of humor comes through as he motivates and inspires us through his countless stories and allegories. I was very fortunate to have him as my professor through the American Christian Bible College where I earned a degree in Christian Counseling. His courses helped equip me to counsel and instruct troubled youth at a Youth Challenge Academy for twelve years, and become an advocate for children. The information I have gleaned about the brain will help me in my present position in the health-food industry where my customers are always seeking help with keeping their brains functioning well. I also care for my elderly mother and have already started to implement some of the recommendations outlined in the book. --Rhoda Fountain, retired Postmaster, counselor, and health food rep, Middleburg, Florida "Bob shows us how to live in wholeness by taking care of our brain, body, and soul. There is a lot of practical advice in the book about taking care of ourselves that we need to be reminded of on a regular basis. Bob weaves his life experiences of living in the human laboratories of foreign lands and clinical situations with grieving people to give us a glimpse of what a fulfilling, long life could be. Bob has modeled his book with his own life that shows us that age does not limit us from having a vibrant ministry and life. After losing my mother to Alzheimer's disease, it's refreshing to see a book that encourages us to exercise our mind along with our body. Ministers and lay people, regardless of their length of ministry, can increase their impact on their world by utilizing the advice in Bob's book." --Brent Beaird, M.Div., hospice chaplain for geriatric patients for over twenty years

The Mentality of Racist White America Is the Mentality of Black America

And the Mentality of Men Is the Mentality of Women - Sexually

By: Robert McMlillan Jr.

This book is about the Mentality of African/Black Americans, Past and Present, and how it correlates with the Mentality of Racist White Americans, Past and Present. And how can we change the way we Think. Also, an in-depth look at the Mentality of Men and WomenSexuallyAnd how Mens Sexual Mentality correlates with Womens Sexual Mentality. The two are the same. Hence, the Breakdown of the African\Black American family. When you add it all up, when you have African\Black Americans Thinking like Racist White Americans, And African\Black American Women [Women in general] Thinking like African\Black American males [Men in general], the end results for African\Black Americans as a Unit, Family, and People [not as an individual] is sad and tragic.
