Mary Chesnut’s Illustrated Diary:Mulberry Edition Boxed SetVolume 1: Mary Chesnut’s Diary from DixieVolume 2: Mary Chesnut’s Civil War Photograph Album

Vol. 1 by Mary Boykin ChesnutForeword by Martha M. DanielsIntroduction by Isabella D. MartinVol. 2 by Martha M. Daniels and Barabara E. McCarthyForeword by James Everett Kibler

First edition of a collection of photographs of famous characters from the legendary Diary from Dixie.

The famous diarist Mary Chesnut recorded events and her reflections on the Civil War and leading personalities from within the aristocratic circles of Southern society. Reproduced here, Chesnut’s famous diary is accompanied by a collection of painstakingly annotated personal photographs never before published, including some that have never before been seen. This exquisitely produced two-volume work includes Mary Chesnut’s diary, which was originally published 40 years after the Civil War, and her personal photo albums. Thought to be lost or stolen since the 1930s, the albums were only just rediscovered in 2007. An astonishing historical treasure, the photographs are annotated with information about each person depicted and edited by Chesnut’s family. Photographs range from depictions of Jefferson Davis and other famous military leaders and statesmen to those within the Chesnut’s social circle, such as Maj. John Thomson Darby; literary figures, such as writer Alexander Dumas; and many more individuals, including Sen. John Parker Hale, Commander and Gen. Wade Hampton III, Gen. Braxton Bragg, AP Hill, and scores of others.

MARTHA M. DANIELS is a member of the eighth generation to preserve Mulberry Plantation—the original home of James and Mary Chesnut. She lives on the plantation, where she tends the archives and is active in country and community life.

BARBARA E. McCARTHY’S love of history led her to her current involvement with the Mulberry Archives, transcribing old documents, digitizing records, and researching Southern history.

JAMES EVERETT KIBLER is a professor of English at the University of Georgia and recipient of the Jefferson Davis Lifetime Achievement Award.

ISABELLA D. MARTIN (1839-1913) was a dear friend to Mary Chesnut. It was because of her that the first printing of the diary took place.

Rethinking the American Union for the Twenty-First Century Edited by Donald Livingston

Is the United States too big to govern?

A great dissatisfaction with the government rests within society, yet the discussion continues to revolve around the same issues. In seven essays, scholars propose that the real problem is size and scale, suggesting that the country is simply too big for one central government. This thought-provoking book begins a debate on how to divide it on a more human scale. Such scholars as Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo, Yuri Maltsev, Donald W. Livingston, Kent Masterson Brown, Marshall DeRosa, Kirkpatrick Sale, and Rob Williams contribute to the debate.

DONALD LIVINGSTON is a professor of philosophy at Emory University. He has published two books on the British philosopher David Hume and has been described as “the greatest Hume scholar of the 20th century.” Livingston, along with other academics, formed the Abbeville Institute, an organization in higher education dedicated to scholarly study of Southern tradition.

Dr. Joseph Warren: The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Birth of American LibertyBy Samuel A. Forman

The definitive biography of the Revolutionary War doctor and hero.

An American doctor, Bostonian, and patriot, Joseph Warren played a central role in the events leading to the American Revolution. This detailed biography of Warren rescues the figure from obscurity and reveals a remarkable revolutionary who dispatched Paul Revere on his famous ride and was the hero of the battle of Bunker Hill, where he was killed in action. Physician to the history makers

of early America, political virtuoso, and military luminary, Warren comes to life in this comprehensive biography meticulously grounded in original scholarship.

SAMUEL A. FORMAN is a physician, Harvard University adjunct faculty member, businessman, and local historian. Educated in the history of the American Revolution and the history of science, the author has published and lectured on historical topics.

He holds degrees from Yale, Harvard, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania.

SHIRLEY HARRISON has been working in British advertising and public relations since the 1950s. She and her late first husband started one of the first pre-school playgroups in the UK, which happened to be located in Pooh’s hometown.

That Printer of Udell’sBy Harold Bell WrightForeword by John Fund

The book that inspired Ronald Reagan.

“That book, That Printer of Udell’s, had an impact I shall always remember . . . [it] set me on a course I’ve tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful.” —Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan identified with the central character, Dick Falkner, who grew up in poverty with an alcoholic father. After Falkner ran away, he was hired by George Udell, a kindly printer. Combining practical Christianity with hard work, he succeeded.

This was the first book by HAROLD BELL WRIGHT (1872–1944), a Disciples of Christ minister. His second, The Shepherd of the Hills, was the first book of American fiction to sell more than one million copies. His ongoing battle with tuberculosis led him to settle in Imperial Valley, California, where he wrote The Winning of Barbara Worth.

JOHN FUND is a political columnist for the Wall Street Journal. His articles have appeared in Esquire, Reader’s Digest, the New Republic, and National Review.

Children of StrangersBy Lyle SaxonForeword by Chance Harvey

The moving story of love in the Cane River community bound by race and class.

Famie is a mulatto girl whose ancestors—free blacks—rivaled the white planters in wealth and culture. But on a Louisiana plantation in the 1920s, she is an outcast. An illicit love affair with a white landowner leaves her with a son. She dreams her son will be accepted into white society, but in her struggle to transcend race and class Famie must sacrifice the last links to her past.

LYLE SAXON (1891-1946) ranks among Louisiana’s most outstanding writers.

While a student at Tulane University, CHANCE HARVEY came across a collection of letters addressed to Saxon that became the focus of her dissertation on Saxon, for which she won the John T. Monroe Fellowship for Dissertation Research.

Cousin Joe: Blues from New OrleansBy Pleasant “Cousin Joe” Josephand Harriet J. Ottenheimer

A remarkable blend of history and drama seen through the eyes of a noted New Orleans bluesman.

This extraordinary life history is the result of more than 15 years of recorded conversations. Joseph’s colorful portrayals of the characters who parade through his life document more than 70 years of changing relationships between blacks and whites. His candid remarks underscore the economic necessity prevalent in a musician’s life. Within the tales are intimate glimpses of legendary figures, including Billie Holiday. His descriptions of performing in New Orleans, New York, and Europe are especially revealing, filled with life experiences as rich as the rhythm and lyrics of the blues he played.

PLEASANT JOSEPH was born in Wallace, Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans in 1907. Known as “Cousin Joe,” he was a self-taught musician who got his start in gospel singing. His album Bad Luck Blues was named 1972 Blues Album of the Year in France. He died in New Orleans in 1989.

HARRIET J. OTTENHEIMER is Emerita Professor of Anthropology and American Ethnic Studies for Kansas State University. She is currently focusing on writing and research.

Beyond the Gates of HellBy Colin Rushton

Possibly the longest Jewish survival of the Holocaust.

In what is possibly the longest recorded survival of its kind, Meyer Hersh spent a total of five years and two months in nine separate labor camps before his liberation in 1945. During this time, Hersh lost 100 members of his family, and lived constantly on the brink of starvation. Yet, as author Colin Rushton marvels, “he tells his story without bitterness, because, in a wonderful way, his humanity has triumphed over all the evil he has witnessed and suffered.”

COLIN RUSHTON, author of Spectator in Hell, is a writer and published poet whose work has appeared in newspapers, magazines,

anthologies, and other publications around the world.

Six Foolish FishermenBy Robert D. San SouciIllustrated by Doug Kennedy

How foolish could six Cajuns on the bayou be?

Down in Louisiana bayou country, six friends––Jules, Jacques, Jean, Ti-Paul, Philippe, and Pierre—love to go out fishing on their pirogues. But these fellows are very foolish indeed. It isn’t long before one silly misunderstanding after another results in a hilarious Cajun-flavored folktale. An alternate version of the traditional Seven Foolish Fishermen, this story contains Cajun words and phrases and irresistible good humor.

ROBERT D. SAN SOUCI is an award-winning author and speaker whose books have earned such designations as New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year, Caldecott Honor, Coretta Scott King Honor Books, and many selections for state and regional reading lists.

DOUG KENNEDY is a designer and illustrator who has received numerous awards for his artwork. A Louisiana native, he holds a degree in graphic design from Louisiana Tech.

Lapin Plays Possum: Trickster Tales from the Louisiana BayouAdapted by Sharon Arms DoucetPictures by Scott Cook

“Full of sly wit and Cajun spice.” —Scholastic.comThe Louisiana version of Br’er Rabbit, Compère Lapin is a mischief maker determined to get the best of Compère Bouki. And Bouki is determined to turn the tables on the lazy critter who keeps tricking him out of his food and crops. But in a trio

of stories that praises brains over brawn, this little rascal seems to come out ahead no matter what.

SHARON ARMS DOUCET has taken liberties in the recounting of the traditional tales. She lived in Lafayette, Louisiana, for four decades and taught French for many years before launching her career as a writer.

Acclaimed children’s book illustrator SCOTT COOK’s work has been chosen as a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, a Booklist Editors’ Choice, and a Parenting Magazine Best Book.
