Book Synopsis War, Memory, and the 1913 Gettysburg Reunion by : Thomas R. Flagel
Download or read book War, Memory, and the 1913 Gettysburg Reunion written by Thomas R. Flagel and published by Kent State University. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Union and Confederate veterans meet at Gettysburg on the 50th anniversary of the battle This June 29-July 4 reunion drew over 55,000 official attendees plus thousands more who descended upon a town of 4,000 during the scorching summer of 1913, with the promise of little more than a cot and two blankets, military fare, and the presence of countless adversaries from a horrific war. Most were revisiting a time and place in their personal history that involved acute physical and emotional trauma. Contrary to popular belief, veterans were not motivated to attend by a desire for reconciliation, nor did the Great Reunion produce a general sense of a reunified country. The reconciliation premise, advanced by several major speeches at the anniversary, lived in rhetoric more than fact. Recent scholarship effectively dismantles this "Reconciliation of 1913" mythos, finding instead that sectionalism and lingering hostilities largely prevailed among veterans and civilians. Flagel examines how individual veterans viewed the reunion, what motivated them to attend, how they acted and reacted once they arrived, and whether these survivors found what they were personally seeking. While politicians and the press characterized the veterans as relics of a national crusade, Flagel focuses on four men who come to the reunion for different and very individual reasons. Flagel's book adds significantly to Gettysburg literature and to Civil War historiography.

Book excerpt: Robin Williams joked that if you remember the Sixties, you weren't there. He was wrong.Nick Taylor remembers Coming of Age in the Age of Aquarius. But then, he remembers everything that ever happened. He cannot forget anything. He is a freak. For Nick, time may pass, but there is no past. Everything that ever happened, just happened. This perfect memory has got him in trouble now and again with people who wonder he knows so much about them. Nick attends the 50th reunion of the Class of 1969 - last to graduate in the Sixties. What does Nick think, what does he say and what do he and his classmates remember? Will he let that freak flag fly?At any reunion, there is a lot to discuss. For those who graduated in the late Sixties and early Seventies, there is Summer of Love ? Woodstock ? Kent State ? The Mobe ? and of course, now.But there is a lot more to remember ? like songs so incomprehensible - there was no Google to tell you the words - you made up words to sing along ? like cadging cases of watery 3.2 beer ? like big crushes and first dates ? like pulling gauchos and doing other things that seemed like a good idea at the time.Every person Nick sees triggers thoughts and memories. So does who he does NOT see, not at first. THAT girl. Everyone had a "that" girl or "that guy."That raises the question everyone faces about their reunion. Should I go? Is Nick happy that he decided to attend?Maybe because classmates are people we grew up with, we have a shared bond with them. Some of them anyway. Some people go to reunions to show they are the same. Others to show they are anything but the same. Others will never go. Some wounds never heal.Everybody thinks they know what happened in the Sixties ? it was all sex, drugs and protests ? and they're just as wrong as Robin Williams. Because there was life to live.

Book Synopsis Something for Everyone by : Michael Leannah
Download or read book Something for Everyone written by Michael Leannah and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1890 the Lauerman brothers opened a general store in the lumber-boom town of Marinette, Wisconsin. The business prospered, and soon the brothers abandoned their small quarters on Main Street for a magnificent department store on Dunlap Square in the heart of Marinette. Thanks to the Lauermans’ devotion to offering diverse merchandise, superior customer service, and loyalty to their employees, the store would remain a lively, vital part of the Marinette fabric for one hundred years. This book traces the history of the Lauerman enterprise and its importance to the community of Marinette and dozens of counties in northern Wisconsin and the UP. The author takes readers on a tour of the store’s most memorable and delightful features, from the plethora of merchandise offered to the record-listening booths to the famous frosted malt cones. Along the way we hear the recollections of dozens of former customers and employees whose memories form a unique tapestry of family, business, and community story. As it brings to life the people who worked and shopped at Lauermans, Something for Everyone will have readers fondly recalling their own favorite shopping destinations during the golden age of department stores.
Book Synopsis The Class Of 1964 by : Mike Szumanski
Download or read book The Class Of 1964 written by Mike Szumanski and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marty, a budding writer, and a group of his friends graduate in 1964 from a small town high school in northern Virginia, all promising each other to attend their 50th reunion. Observing his friends at the prom, Marty recollects the rebellious and defiant school years that for many of them had been demanding beyond their youth. As decades pass their paths diverge and they emerge from the influence of their parents, many of whom experienced the barbarity of World War II. Eventually, the anticipated reunion approaches and they must face the changes the time brought to their lives. What became of them and how did they get there? Did they catch the Nazi war criminal hiding in Latin America as they all committed to before the graduation? Will the activist, the global executive and the poker player settle their differences? How did the lawyer, the doctor, the Navy commander, the scientist and Marty deal with the traumas of the past? Were the homeless alcoholic, the handyman and the gay CIA agent with his math-teacher partner able to start new lives? Will the Vietnam Vet attend?Their life stories full of diverse and overlapping plots, crises and triumphs, conflicts, loves and friendships prove the wisdom of Marty's high school commencement speech. He predicted that not all of them will become whatever they want because not everybody is dealt the same cards or the same card-playing skills. When they meet at the 50th reunion, he traces their lives since the graduation. The leader of the group and the link keeping them together over the years, Marty is the real author of The Class of 1964, telling the story about himself and his friends.
Book Synopsis The Woodstock Story Book by : Linanne G. Sackett
Download or read book The Woodstock Story Book written by Linanne G. Sackett and published by Channel Photographics. This book was released on 2009 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three days in the summer of 1969, 500,000 people spontaneously gathered like no others had before or since then, bringing together peace, love, aromatic smoke and the sounds of the greatest rock 'n' roll show in history. Sounds and smells wafted through the air, making this legendary event one that has never been duplicated. Barry Z Levine, a member of the Academy Award-winning Woodstock documentary film team, captured this entire event. Levine arrived days before the crowds when Woodstock was still a green, grassy pasture and continued to photograph long after the last person had departed the debris-strewn mud hole. Over the course of that tumultuous week, Levine had taken so many pictures, he had blisters on his index finger and thumb from clicking the shutter and advancing the film. Levine stopped only once, for a 45 minute nap on top of a piano cover that was on stage while Blood, Sweat & Tears performed. Along with 240 full-color photographs, the text by Linanne G. Sacket presents a chronological account of this historical event, capturing the performers, personalities, audience, excitement, mood, and actions. The Woodstock Story Book is a must for anyone who was at Woodstock, wishes they had gone, or just wanted a bird's eye view at the greatest historical event of the 1960s.
Book Synopsis The Center of Everything by : Jamie Harrison
Download or read book The Center of Everything written by Jamie Harrison and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the wild beauty of Montana as a woman attempts to heal from a devastating accident, this generational saga from the award-winning author of The Widow Nash is a heartfelt examination of how the deep bonds of family echo throughout our lives. For Polly, the small town of Livingston, Montana, is a land charmed by raw, natural beauty and a close network of family that extends back generations. But the summer of 2002 finds Polly at a crossroads: a recent head injury has scattered her perception of the present, bringing to the surface long-forgotten events. As Polly's many relatives arrive for a family reunion during the Fourth of July holiday, a beloved friend goes missing on the Yellowstone River. Search parties comb the river as carefully as Polly combs her mind, and over the course of one fateful week, Polly arrives at a deeper understanding of herself and her larger-than-life relatives. Weaving together the past and the present, from the shores of Long Island Sound to the landscape of Montana, The Center of Everything examines with profound insight the memories and touchstones that make up a life and what we must endure along the way.
Download or read book My Father's Tears written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensational collection of stories of the American experience from the Depression to the aftermath of 9/11, by one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series. John Updike mingles narratives of Pennsylvania with stories of New England suburbia and of foreign travel: “Personal Archaeology” considers life as a sequence of half-buried layers, and “The Full Glass” distills a lifetime’s happiness into one brimming moment of an old man’s bedtime routine. High-school class reunions, in “The Walk with Elizanne” and “The Road Home,” restore their hero to youth’s commonwealth where, as the narrator of the title story confides, “the self I value is stored, however infrequently I check on its condition.” Exotic locales encountered in the journeys of adulthood include Morocco, Florida, Spain, Italy, and India. The territory of childhood, with its fundamental, formative mysteries, is explored in “The Guardians,” “The Laughter of the Gods,” and “Kinderszenen.” Love’s fumblings among the bourgeoisie yield the tart comedy of “Free,” “Delicate Wives,” “The Apparition,” and “Outage.”

Download or read book Pathway to a Professorship written by Donald E. Hattin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an undergraduate student at UMass Don Hattin recorded in detail events which colored each day with the trials and triumphs of academic life. He recounts the low cost of attending college, fun and facts about dormitory life, seemingly endless drudgery of homework, unfounded fear of earning poor grades, and classes of great interest versus those without redeeming characteristics or content. Don describes the antics of dormitory life, which leave the reader wondering how and when studying was done. Don shares treasured memories of work in the College Store, where many humorous events occurred, and lively association with faculty and students in the Geology Department, where genuine camaraderie accompanied work in the classroom, laboratory and field. As a T.A. at the University of Kansas, Don discovered the joy of teaching and field work. His master’s thesis research on Cretaceous-age rocks was prompted by a future member of the National Academy of Science, leading initially to both fun and temporary futility of work on the Kansas prairie. At the doctoral level, Don was mentored by a world-famous paleontologist who was intimidating in the office but a mellow field geologist. Just once, Don challenged his mentor on identification of a fossil, and won! During this interval, a key geology faculty member departed, resulting in Don’s appointment as Instructor to teach two courses, thus enabling Don to gain skills needed when assuming a professional role. While interviewing in Ohio for a full time teaching position, Don received a call from the geology chairman at Indiana University, where a short visit resulted in offer of an Assistant Professorship. Don’s acceptance let to a career-long association with that institution.
