Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Major-General Butler (Benjamin F. Butler): The Hero of New Orleans Maryland, and assigning General Butler to the command. Few who had occasion to visit the ancient town during the latter days of April, 1861, will forget the interview which they were compelled to have with the General Corn manding before they could walk at will beyond the walls of the Naval Academy grounds. Seated in a large room in the main school-building, surrounded by his staff and numerous clerks, day and night, early and late, could this representative of New England loyalty be found, ever firm in his determination to carry out the regulations be deemed best adapted to the exigency, yet always courteous to the hundreds of visitors who thronged his office. Troops were despatched; actual or suspected rebel emissaries were arrested and examined; extensive purchases of sup plies were made; and citizens were received and their questions or complaints promptly answered. There was no confusion, no dissatisfaction, and General Butler abundantly proved that he was just the man for the position. While attending to those around him, he also kept his eye upon an important body which had convened at Frederick - the Maryland Legislature - and gave its members to understand that if they passed an ordinance of secession, he would arrest the entire Senate and House of Representatives. The annoyances to which he was subjected were sufficient to cause a less energetic officer to fail, but there is only one instance on record of his having lost his temper. A correspondent of a newspaper, who, finding the hotels full and the oors of the numerous buildings of the Academy covered with weary soldiers, came at midnight to the General's room and besought him to designate the place where he could sleep that night. The answer he received, and which doubtless he to this day remembers, was as follows Sir, I have done te-day about every thing that a man ever did in this world, but I am not going to turn chambermaid.

Book Description
Pope John Paul II has canonized more than 1,700 saints during his pontificate, leading some to criticize him as a "saint-making machine." Yet, perhaps John Paul realizes something that many of us have forgotten not only that our own goal should be sainthood, but also that we may require the inspiration of these Christian faithful to live out our own faith in the 21st century. In this collection of stories, readers will be introduced to a variety of familiar and unfamiliar saints canonized during the Great Jubilee Year 2000. They include inspiring stories from nearly every continent, including Francisco and Jacinta Marto of Fatima, 120 Chinese Martyrs, Sister Faustina Kowalska, Sister Katharine Drexel, 25 Mexican Martyrs and many more 164 in all. They include remarkable stories of children and adults, men and women, religious and lay people striving to live in holiness.

Category : Sports
Languages : en

Book Description
During the nineteenth century, New Orleans won and stoutly defended a reputation for amusement and dissipation that made it distinct among American cities. Exquisite cuisine, theaters, casinos, and private clubs attracted the affluent, while gambling dens, saloons, public ballrooms, cockfights, and ten-pin alleys drew the masses. In the antebellum period, organized sports were added to the numerous diversions already available. This book, on a neglected aspect of American social life, treats an important facet of Louisiana history and shows how the growth of cities contributed to the emergence of a leisure ethic. Professor Somers explains the reasons for the rapidly growing interest in sports, their impact on the city�s social and economic life, and their effect upon race relations and the emancipation of women. In the space of some fifty years sports, moved from a minor to a major role in the city�s play habits. By the turn of the century, sports played an unprecedented part in the daily lives of New Orleanians and thousands of other Americans.
