The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir
ISBN: 9781588382870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Frye Gaillard's first encounters with books were disappointing. As a child he never cared much for fairy tales - "stories of cannibalism and mayhem in which giants and witches, tigers and wolves did their best to eat small children." But at the age of nine, he discovered Johnny Tremain, a children's novel of the Revolutionary War, which began a lifetime love affair with books, recounted here as a reader's tribute to the writings that enriched and altered his life. In a series of carefully crafted, often deeply personal essays, Gaillard blends memoir, history and critical analysis to explore...

Prophet from Plains covers Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter's major achievements and setbacks in light of what has been at once his greatest asset and his greatest flaw: his stubborn, faith-driven integrity.

Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters
ISBN: 9781588383129 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. On the one-hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the Civil War, award-winning author Frye Gaillard reflects on the war--and the way we remember it--through letters written by his family, including his great-great grandfather and his two sons, both of whom were Confederate officers. As Gaillard explains in his introductory essay, he came of age in a Southern generation that viewed the war as a glorious lost cause. But as he read through letters collected by members of his family, he confronted a far more sobering truth. "Oh, this terrible war," wrote his great-great-grandfather, Thomas Gaillard....

With Music and Justice for All: Some Southerners and Their Passions
ISBN: 9780826515889 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For nearly forty years, Frye Gaillard has covered the American South as a journalist, historian and writer of memoir. With Music and Justice for All is a collection of Gaillard's most compelling work, one writer's odyssey though a time and place. There are stories here of the civil rights movement, a moral, social and political upheaval that changed the South in so many ways. Gaillard has captured the essence of that drama by giving it a face--telling the stories of the ordinary people, as well as the icons. In the course of these pages, the reader not only meets Dr. Martin Luther King, but...

Dill was forged in the turbulent civil rights years when he stood for social justice and spoke against racial segregation. In this collection of sermons -- many from his 20 years as pastor of Dauphin Way United Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama -- Dill reflects on the implications of his faith for the lives of individuals and for the life of the world. Robin Wilson, one of Dill's successors at Dauphin Way, praises "the bold humility" of his message, and author Frye Gaillard, in the book's introduction, offers this description of Dill and his sermons:...

More than twenty years ago, Robert Croshon, an elderly friend of Frye Gaillard's, told him the story of Croshon's ancestor, Gilbert Fields, an African-born slave in Georgia who led his family on a daring flight to freedom. Fields and his family ran away intending to travel north, but clouds obscured the stars and when morning came Fields discovered they had been running south instead. They had no choice but to seek sanctuary with the Seminole Indians of Florida and later a community of free blacks in Mobile. With Croshon's blessing, Gaillard has expanded this oral history into a novel for...

ISBN: 9781531610487 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To say that Mobile has a rich history is like saying Nashville has a few musicians. The port city has a rich heritage dating back to the 1700's.

Mobile was celebrating Mardi Gras before New Orleans. Some of the last fighting of the Civil War took place on a hill outside the city, after Appomattox. Baseball stars Henry Aaron and Satchel Paige even played their first games of baseball in the sandlots here.
