Battle Hymns
Author: Christian McWhirter
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807882623
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Music was everywhere during the Civil War. Tunes could be heard ringing out from parlor pianos, thundering at political rallies, and setting the rhythms of military and domestic life. With literacy still limited, music was an important vehicle for communicating ideas about the war, and it had a lasting impact in the decades that followed. Drawing on an array of published and archival sources, Christian McWhirter analyzes the myriad ways music influenced popular culture in the years surrounding the war and discusses its deep resonance for both whites and blacks, South and North. Though published songs of the time have long been catalogued and appreciated, McWhirter is the first to explore what Americans actually said and did with these pieces. By gauging the popularity of the most prominent songs and examining how Americans used them, McWhirter returns music to its central place in American life during the nation's greatest crisis. The result is a portrait of a war fought to music.

Revenge
Author: Duane L. Martin
Publisher: Duane L. Martin
ISBN: 0991259769
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 533
Book Description
When word started to spread among the tribes in the Faranox dimension about the raid on one of their villages by five humans who'd killed many agaronin and freed their captive slaves, they came up with a plan to combine several of their villages into one massive settlement, so they could defend against any such attacks in the future. To create such a settlement however, they would need more slaves than the ones they currently possessed, and that's when they did something they shouldn't have done. They went to the Blue Fin dimension, attacked Freddie's village, and captured at least half of the blue fins on the island. When the blue fins make a desperate call to Freddie to ask for help from their human friends, Derek must come up with a rescue plan that's larger and far more involved than the one they'd used when they rescued Jarrod's family. They're also going to need some help if they're going to have any hope at all of pulling it off. To that end, several of their parents are recruited to help, along with Jeremy and the gang, and the rest of the blue fins from the island who are brought to the human dimension, not only for their own protection, but also so they can be trained for their role in the mission. Time is of the essence, but developments in the Faranox dimension threaten to throw a monkey wrench into their plans. Fortunately, with the help of the backers and their mysterious rep, they may just be able to pull it off. Also, when the backers suddenly start feeling even more generous, the rep tells Patricia that they'll be tearing down their current home, and replacing it with a new home that will better serve their needs. What they received when all was said and done however, went far beyond any of their wildest dreams. Revenge continues the Unseen Things saga with new team members, new revelations, and a visit from someone who's about to become an even more important part of their lives than they already were. Revenge is book 4 of the Unseen Things series.
