Mr. Bacarella has written a great narritive of the 39th NYVI. It is one of the best regimental histories I have read. He gives the day to day happinings of a regiment in battle and in camp. The 39th was one of the most unusual regiments in federal service during the American Civil War, and Mr. Bacarella has done the men & woman of the regiment justice!

This 79-page examination of the Gettysburg Address provides kids in grades 4-6 with an excellent in-depth examination of the concepts and basic importance of Lincoln's historic statements. Chapters blend vintage black and white photos with fine insights on the events of his times.

This book is the type of book which could start another civil war. I found the book to be well researched, detail oriented, and well written. One group of readers will probably come away with a sense that the first Republican President may have been the inventor of spin. No matter what your politics, this book proves that politics are nothing new, and maybe a few of the awestruck may view some of the sainted heroes in a diffent light.

Amid a forest of mediocre texts and handbooks that do little to improve one's understanding of LD, Wiese's book stands almost alone in providing clear and useful explanations of issues in LD debate.Wiese's textbook is ideally suited to use in the classroom with students who have little or no experience in LD debate.Teachers and coaches who take Lincoln-Douglas debate seriously should not hestiate to invest in this valuable teaching aid.

This is a very well-written, extremely well- illustrated account of America's 16th President. Contains photographs you won't find elsewhere. Highly recommended for all age groups.

This is a book I first saw at our public library and liked it so much I decided I had to have my own copy. It gives the essence of Lincoln in a chronological and very readable form, with enough background information to let one know the reasons for giving the speech or writing the letter. This is a great book for junior high or high school students although written for adults. The woodcut illustrations are tremendous and add a great deal to the feeling of the book

In this collection of essays Professor Guillory does an outstanding job reflecting upon rural and small town life in central Illinois. Whether ruminating on Lincoln, pick up trucks, old cars, favorite restaurants, narrow two lanes, and the tasks of restoring an old home, Guillory displays a keen and literate sensitivity to his adopted, beloved land. Recommended for those who appreciate graceful, thoughtful essays on rural themes!

it is hard to sum it up. two words, buy i

This book is great! It is so easy to read and so full of good information!

Michael Leonard's art is well known to admirers of Figurative Art and this difficult to find book of his paintings justifies his place of importance in the currrent resurgence of representational art. Leonard finds beautiful metaphors in the sanctity of the locker room and allows us a quiet view of young men ending or beginning physical nurturing of the body beautiful. The lighting effects are luminous and the brushwork is fastidious. Much is left to the viewer as to the interpretation of these paintings but Lincoln Kirstein's commentary adds much to the pleasure of this book.
