From the American Battlefield Trust, the collection of their popular battle maps of the Western Theater of the American Civil War. “I just love those maps that you guys send to me.” It is a phrase that the staff of the American Battlefield Trust hears on a weekly basis and the expression refers to one of the cornerstone initiatives of the organization, mapping the battlefields of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and the American Civil War. The American Battlefield Trust is the premier battlefield preservation organization in the United States. Over the last thirty years the American Battlefield Trust and its members have preserved more than 52,000 acres of battlefield land across 143 battlefields, in 24 states—at sites such as Lexington & Concord, Vicksburg, Yorktown, Shiloh, and Gettysburg. Other than physically walking across the hallowed battle grounds that the American Battlefield Trust has saved, the best way to illustrate the importance of the properties that we have preserved is through our battle maps. Through the decades, the American Battlefield Trust has created hundreds of maps detailing the action at major battles. Now, for the first time in book form, we have collected the maps of some of the most iconic battles of the Western Theater of the Civil War into one volume. In Vol. 2 of our Battle Maps of the Civil War Series, you can follow the course of the war from Fort Sumter to the Surrender at Bennett Place. Study the major actions of the Western Theater from start to finish utilizing this unparalleled collection of maps.
I must warn you before you open the pages of this book; this will not be a "softball" or "appeasement" or "politically correct" book. The systematic strategy for dismantling and destroying the family unit and the God-given potential for greatness we each carry within us is no longer knocking at your door. We can no longer take the posture of back- seat drivers; reacting as if we are helpless kidnapped- passengers being dragged along for the ride by an oversized bully, incapable or unwilling to make the choices necessary to maintain the character and integrity of the home. Whether you are a two- parent home or a single- parent home, the choices we face are still the same. We can either choose to fold up our tents and raise the white flag of surrender or we can choose to stop complaining about everything that is wrong with the world and fight. If you want to win and you refuse to compromise the future of your child to a world bent on promoting the worst in your child instead of getting the best out of them, then keep reading. 'My Home is Not A Democracy' draws a line in the sand, offers sound strategies for effective parenting and challenges every reader to stand your ground and fight for the future of your families!
You, This Is Me. Over. Charts former Green Beret, Clinton Beaudel Dooley’s journey from elite soldier and seasoned veteran of both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, to his struggles with post traumatic stress disorder after several tours of duty, a near fatal breakdown, and through his recovery. Clint’s works show a fractured person who brought back together by the love of his exceptionally strong wife, fellow brothers in arms, forgiving family, fur-babies, and rediscovered connection to the world outside himself. After years of cycling in and out of war zones, of trying to switch back and forth between being a soldier in the thick of war and being a loving husband and everyday person at home, he understands why veterans sometimes get stuck in between the competing inner/outer worlds of God, Family, and Country which hinder many war veterans from fully fitting back into a society they have all fought to protect. You, This is Me. Over, offers veterans, their loved ones, and health care professionals an insight into what is going on inside the veterans’ hearts and heads with the hope of increasing understanding, and opening up conversations that will save lives. Together all the works present the many facets of a person’s experience with PTSD. If you read one, or all of them, and it speaks to you or allows you to show a loved one what you are experiencing, then YOU, THIS IS ME. OVER. has been worth writing.
