A Young General and the Fall of Richmond

The Life and Career of Godfrey Weitzel

By: G. William Quatman

Despite his military achievements and his association with many of the great names of American history, Godfrey Weitzel (1835–1884) is perhaps the least known of all the Union generals. After graduating from West Point, Weitzel, a German immigrant from Cincinnati, was assigned to the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans. The secession of Louisiana in 1861, with its key port city of New Orleans, was the first of a long and unlikely series of events that propelled the young Weitzel to the center of many of the Civil War’s key battles and brought him into the orbit of such well-known personages as Lee, Beauregard, Butler, Farragut, Porter, Grant, and Lincoln. Weitzel quickly rose through the ranks and was promoted to brigadier general and, eventually to commander of Twenty-Fifth Corps, the Union Army’s only all-black unit. After fighting in numerous campaigns in Louisiana and Virginia, on April 3, 1865, Weitzel marched his troops into Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, capturing the city for the Union and precipitating the eventual collapse of the Southern states’ rebellion. G. William Quatman’s minute-by-minute narrative of the fall of Richmond lends new insight into the war’s end, and his keen research into archival sources adds depth and nuance to the events and the personalities that shaped the course of the Civil War.

Global Warming

And The Creator's Plan

By: Jay A. Auxt,Dr. William M. Curtis III

Droughts, floods, hurricanes, cyclones. We constantly hear of extreme weather conditions all over the world. We hear dire warnings like "Flee hurricane Ike, or face certain death, officials warn." To be politically correct, we must assume that these are a direct result of global warming. However, is this true? - Jay Auxt, Global Warming and the Creator?s Plan. God has a clear plan for this earth and its inhabitants. Although the media would have you believe the earth is doomed due to global warming, the truth is that the earth has always been warming very gradually and that the current warming is insignificant - especially considering the scope of God's ultimate plan for each and every one of us. Unlock the clues to this contemporary controversy by discovering: Old Testament biblical references from the past Scientific data of the present Biblical prophecy for the future Contrary to secular media, this book clearly illustrates that the concept of "man induced global warming" is totally unfounded, and that God alone is in control of our destiny. Learn to sift unsupported rumor and alarmist rhetoric from verifiable facts on this hot-button issue with Global Warming and the Creator's Plan. This was a very revealing book and it sure gave me something to think about. I realize the media has its own agenda, but this book helps us to remember that God has a plan and ultimately it is His plan that will prevail. The book was very well-researched and easy to read as well. I recommend it. — Dave H. from Book Bargains and Reviews

Defending Rorty

Pragmatism and Liberal Virtue

By: William M. Curtis

Liberal democracy needs a clear-eyed, robust defense to deal with the increasingly complex challenges it faces in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately much of contemporary liberal theory has rejected this endeavor for fear of appearing culturally hegemonic. Instead, liberal theorists have sought to gut liberalism of its ethical substance in order to render it more tolerant of non-liberal ways of life. This theoretical effort is misguided, however, because successful liberal democracy is an ethically demanding political regime that requires its citizenry to display certain virtues and habits of mind. Against the grain of contemporary theory, philosopher Richard Rorty blends American pragmatism and romanticism to produce a comprehensive vision of liberal modernity that features a virtue-based conception of liberal democracy. In doing so, Rorty defends his pragmatic liberalism against a host of notable interlocutors, including Charles Taylor, Nancy Fraser, Hilary Putnam, Richard J. Bernstein, and Jean Bethke Elshtain.
