SOJOURNS OF A PATRIOT, THE FIELD AND PRISON PAPERS OF AN UNRECONSTRUCTED CONFEDERATE

  "Sojourns of a Patriot, the Field and Prison Papers of an Unreconstructed Confederate". Confederate corporal Augustus Pitt Adamson of Jonesboro Georgia volunteered for the infantry in 1861, steadfastly serving his country until the spring of 1865. Over eight letters, carefully edited with commentary, reveal a keen insight into the military, political and social scenes of a war torn nation struggling for independence. A.P. Adamson writes of his participation in the actions at the siege of Savannah, campaigning in the Carolinas and Florida, the abortive Vicksburg relief expedition and the Battle of Jackson, the gallant charge of the 30th on the first day of the Battle of Chickamauga, where he was wounded while serving in the color guard, and the 1864 north Georgia campaign at Dalton, Rocky Face Ridge, and Resaca, until his capture at Calhoun in May. He then describes his experiences in a journal written during his incarceration at the Andersonville of the north, Rock Island Pow Camp Illinois. This diary is an uncommon find. A.P. was imprisoned until his exchange in February, 1865. His abiding faith and ardent patriotism are constant themes throughout.

FORGOTTEN CONFEDERATES, AN ANTHOLOGY ABOUT BLACK SOUTHERNERS.

  "Forgotten Confederates, An Anthology About Black Southerners". Scholars of Southern history largely have avoided the task of linking African Americans to the Confederate states war effort. That effort is conceded to have been a thrust toward Southern independence, with a resulting continuance of enslavement. It is undoubtedly disturbing and illogical to some people That Black Southerners could directly lend support to this effort. But, not so as this factual account will show.
One of the lost chapters of the Civil War has been the passive and even active support that many southern blacks, free and slave, gave to the confederacy. forgotten confederates illuminate the overlooked facet of this seemingly contradictory behavior by a group of African Americans who appear to have thought of themselves as southerners first and blacks second. neither confederate history , nor black studies, can afford to ignore it any longer.

IN THE LAND OF COTTON

  "In the Land of Cotton". It might do more good here to describe the author rather than the book because once you have some understanding of the author the book will become crystal clear as well.
Dr. Michael R. Bradley was born in 1940 in an area very much like the one he describes in his stories. His boyhood home on the Alabama/Tennessee line was filled with talkative old folks, and he grew up listening to their stories. He has never stopped listening to the past.
He was educated at Samford University in Birmingham and at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. he has become as he says "A Man of Words". He teaches history At Motlow State College in Tullahoma Tennessee, and is a Presbyterian minister.
Now that you know a little about the man I think I should prepare you just a little bit more for the stories. This is just one in a series of books by Dr. Bradley. Each in itself is not too long, generally about a hundred pages or so. Which all in all is good thing because I guarantee you will not be able to set the book down until you have finished. Stories told as if you were once again a wee little thing at you grandpa's knee. Oral traditions of the area handed down from generations of story tellers one to the next. Some can be documented--some do not require such a mundane concept as documentation. They are what they are. Great stories that have entertained hundreds of ears long before they ever reached yours. Years before the radio or television much less the P.C. came along put such a distance between generations these tales of the struggle's that rural folks had to endure during the war between the states have resinated cross valley and hill to be told time and again in a hope that history that is not forgotten will not be repeated.
