Riding with George
Author: Philip G. Smucker
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613736088
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Long before George Washington was a president or general, he was a sportsman. Born in 1732, he had a physique and aspirations that were tailor made for his age, one in which displays of physical prowess were essential to recognition in society. At six feet two inches and with a penchant for rambunctious horse riding, what he lacked in formal schooling he made up for in physical strength, skill, and ambition. Virginia colonial society rewarded men who were socially adept, strong, graceful, and fair at play. Washington's memorable performances on the hunting field and on the battlefield helped crystallize his contribution to our modern ideas about athleticism and chivalry, even as they also highlight the intimate ties between sports and war. Washington's actions, taken individually and seen by others as the core of his being, helped a young nation bridge the old to the new and the aristocrat to the republican. Author Philip G. Smucker, a fifth-great-grandnephew of George Washington, uses his background as a war correspondent, sports reporter, and amateur equestrian to weave an insightful tale based upon his own travels in the footsteps and hoofprints of Washington as a surveyor, sportsman, and field commander. As often as possible, he saddles up and charges off to see what Washington's woods, byways, and battlefields look like from atop a saddle. Riding with George is "boots-in-stirrups" storytelling that unspools Washington's rise to fame in a never-before-told yarn. It shows how a young Virginian's athleticism and Old World chivalry propelled him to become a model of right action and good manners for a fledgling nation.

Beyond the Garden
Author: James B. Clay
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1452039992
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Shakespeare said, All the worlds a stage; all the men and women merely players. We all have different scripts; but we all search for the same thing. From Macbeth, we get an answer for what it is we search, and nothing is but what is not. My book, Beyond the Garden, takes a look at conventional, fundamental religious thought which is prevalent today, and especially in thoughts such as the gay issue. I suggest that there is another view of life which includes all men and women as brothers and sisters and their sexual preferences. Just as Martin Luther King and the eightys ladies sought to bring freedom to the oppressed, so should the knights of today seek to bring freedom to all mankind. The new frontier becomes an inescapable acceptance of all humanity because that is the issue of unreality prevalent today. Each of us needs to learn that the one thing needful in this world of woe is understanding, acceptance and lasting relationships. This book offers a suggestion for those who want to find true freedom and oneness with his brothers and sisters and God. While some of the more conventional religious books have mainstream thought, Beyond the Garden differs in that it acknowledges other thought patterns to show the offal of our existence until we understand who we are. By coming to this understanding, we discover true freedom. The story of the biblical Cain represents the story of Israel; more than that, it is the story of everyone in his God given freedom outside the garden without compassion. The mark of Cain becomes the standard by which one lives in his freedom. For me, the mark represents an attempt to find true freedom which falls short of our goal as humans, or as Erich Fromm would say, Escape from Freedom. To get beyond the garden is mans lot in life. A more profound inspiration seems to compel us back to the garden where we will find our hearts desire. Herein the quest begins. In other words, we search for the truth beyond what is not!
