This is a superb memoir of the Civil War. First published in the 1890's like so many other memoirs it differs in that the author is writing from his dairy. While other memoirs from the period seem nostalgic and full of bravado Andrews tells it like it was, with few tangential passages to muddy the flow of his narrative. The matter of fact recounting of this soldier's life is a melody of endless boredom in camp, child-like wonder at a world he otherwise would not have seen, heartrending pathos and sometimes side-splitting humor. A modern editor's footnotes correct Andrews sometimes mistaken beliefs regarding large-scale events and historical details and add addition context for the narrative. This is a great book, both for the Civil War scholar and the casual reader.

Mama I went in the library looking for your step it down, however, you stirred me in a different direction. I enjoyed this book so much, I felt you with each turning page. I love your legacy and you, Thank you!

I am a senior studying elementary education at the University of Florida. I practically used this wonderful book as my bible for methods and strategies of how to teach poetry to young and/or reluctant students.
This book is a clear and concise journey of how to "prepare the soil" and get children writing poetry! The book includes extensive examples of student writing and is highly recommended to anyone teaching (or who is planning to teach) a language arts curriculum, students, and even parents who want to encourage the writing of their children.

This book is breath taking. It takes you back into history. I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one night. It keeps you interested in the characters of the story. This book is worth reading more than once.

I love Savannah. This book just makes me enjoy it more. If there were really a Gravesend Inn in Savannah, I'd ask my parents to let me stay there!

This is a fabulous book, if you have one in good condition and want to sell it please contact me.

The "Foxfire 40th Anniversary Book" is a wonderful tribute to the people of Appalachia as they shared memories of their lives and culture with us. This book follows the same down-to-earth tone as the preceeding volumes. The earlier ones were very informative and enjoyable, and this one certainly lives up to that standard.

This is the first book in a series of 12. Interesting and valuable info if you want to live "off the grid". Search Wikipedia for complete info.

I found this book fascinating. It provides a splendid view of a career in the Foreign Service and an inside look at some of the policy-making process for dealing with foreign policy problems. It is particularly strong on the crises with the Soviets over Berlin and on US-West German relations during the Cold War.

Stories and authentic recipes from the south's most legendary tea room/restaurant (1928 - 1962). My favorites were the Hot Turkey on Egg Bread sandwich, Baked Macaroni and Cheese and the Chicken Salad with Tomato Aspic Ring. With easy to follow directions, I had no trouble making them. The Tea Room Notes at the end of each recipe helped me to understand why the spot was such a popular place with the southern ladies to have lunch after a morning of shopping in downtown Atlanta. I could easily see them heading for the elevator wearing hats and gloves. I would recommend the purchase of this cookbook with its lovely stories to anyone looking for that special gift for Mom, Grandmom, special friend.
