Book Description
Fought in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Daniel Ellis' war was no less bloody than that of soldiers in the east. As a "pilot" in the American Civil War, he guided Union soldiers, runaway slaves, deserting Confederates, and others from the mountains to the Union lines. Already a veteran of the Mexican-American War, with compromised health due to bouts with malaria caught in Mexico, Ellis nevertheless served throughout the war at great peril to his life. After the war, continued Confederate sympathies in Tennessee and the publication of this book continued to make life tenuous for Dan Ellis, as e was threatened many times. He lived into a ripe old age (80). James R. Gilmore found Ellis living in poverty and worked to get him more government compensation for his services in the Civil War. Charles Frazier used this book as a source when writing "Cold Mountain." For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above. Buy it today!

Book Description
Publisher Jason Goodman and Editor Jeff Rovin present the return of THRILLING ADVENTURE STORIES! Published in 1975, the two issues of this Atlas/Seaboard comic magazine featured multi-genre excitement ranging from barbaric prehistory to the dystopic future, from feudal Japan to wartime Europe. Atlas Originals is proud to continue that tradition with four tales: TARGITT 2021 by Richard S. Meyers, starring the two-fisted crimebuster, his associate Man-Stalker...and a villainess whose arrival will shock and delight! BOG BEAST by John Albano and Badia Romero, a super-science tale originally created in 1975 for the Atlas/Seaboard horror comic WEIRD TALES OF THE MACABRE and unpublished on these shores until now. BONUS: the mock-up of that unused issue #3 cover featuring a Jeff Jones painting. SECOND COMING by Sam Rovin, a companion piece to the WRECAGE saga featuring the climactic return of one of the first and greatest Atlas/Seaboard superheroes. MAGIC TO-DO by Richard H. Levey starring Doctor Klutz, a character originally conceived as the companion to a chic and plucky funny book figure. The semi-hero was shelved when the line folded but is back to solve an ages-old mystery involving one of the darkest Atlas/Seaboard characters.

Book Description
THE THRILLING ADVENTURES OF LOVELACE AND BABBAGE . . . in which Sydney Padua transforms one of the most compelling scientific collaborations into a hilarious series of adventures. Meet Victorian London’s most dynamic duo: Charles Babbage, the unrealized inventor of the computer, and his accomplice, Ada, Countess of Lovelace, the peculiar protoprogrammer and daughter of Lord Byron. When Lovelace translated a description of Babbage’s plans for an enormous mechanical calculating machine in 1842, she added annotations three times longer than the original work. Her footnotes contained the first appearance of the general computing theory, a hundred years before an actual computer was built. Sadly, Lovelace died of cancer a decade after publishing the paper, and Babbage never built any of his machines. But do not despair! The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage presents a rollicking alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage do build the Difference Engine and then use it to build runaway economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wilder realms of mathematics, and, of course, fight crime—for the sake of both London and science. Complete with extensive footnotes that rival those penned by Lovelace herself, historical curiosities, and never-before-seen diagrams of Babbage’s mechanical, steam-powered computer, The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage is wonderfully whimsical, utterly unusual, and, above all, entirely irresistible. (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)
