Published here for the first time, the Civil War combat memoir of Col. James Taylor Holmes of the 52nd Ohio Volunteers presents a richly detailed first-hand account the June 1864 Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.

Songs of Avondale is a book of poems reflective of the early life of a boy who grew up in a world dominated by the Avondale Mills of Alabama, one of the largest textile companies in the United States, and by its founders, the Comer family, beginning with Governor Braxton Bragg Comer and extending to the rest of the Comers, especially including "Mr. Donald" Comer and "Mr. Hugh" Comer.

Life Could Be a Dream started out as a joke, a spur-of-the-moment, see-just-how-goofy-a-story-can-begin sort of nonsense. From there it became a challenge to see how long it could be kept going without becoming totally nonsensical. Then it became more and more enjoyable, until at some point it became for me a labor of love that occasionally made me cry or laugh as I wrote. Now I've proofed it at least twenty times, and it has truly become a part of me. All of the characters are based on people I have known during my almost-eighty years, but I shall name none of them. Those who are still...
