Editors I Have Known Since the Civil War; by Robert Hiram Henry Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...Path to the Editor's Chair.--Some Prominent Editors of North Mississippi.--Judge Watson, Col. F. A. Tyler, S. M. Thompson, P. B. Murray, Judge Simmons--Great Old Editor, Dr. J. B. Gambrell When the Egyptian King, Ptolmy, asked the great Euclid if geometry could not be mastered by an easier process than the arduous method used, he replied, "There is no royal road to learning." The answer of the old Alexandrian philosopher might be paraphrased and made to apply with equal force to journalism, for there is no easy road to its accomplishment. To succeed in journalism, one must toil incessantly and unremittingly, must labor hard and continuously, must travel many rough and rugged roads, beset with great difficulties. The obstructions to be surmounted are innumerable, the obstacles to be overcome are incalculable, the efforts necessary to achieve success are stupendous and few there are to win the crown. Editors, publishers, journalists are slowly developed, their training school covering many laborious years. They must begin at the bottom and work themselves up, gradually, must go through an arduous educational process to fit them for the positions necessary to win success as members of the "Fourth Estate." Newspaper publishing requires men of training and experience to conduct its various departments. A man cannot be created an editor or publisher at sight no more than he can be made a lawyer, doctor, banker, pilot or engineer, by the laying on of hands. He can only fit himself for such positions by experience and education, for there is no royal road by which they may be obtained. II. An educated man, one who may have qualified himself in some one of the professions, does not necessarily make a good editor, for there is more in editing than...

The Second Civil War by Ronald Brownstein Pdf

In recent years American politics has seemingly become much more partisan, more zero-sum, more vicious, and less able to confront the real problems our nation faces. What has happened? In The Second Civil War, respected political commentator Ronald Brownstein diagnoses the electoral, demographic, and institutional forces that have wreaked such change over the American political landscape, pulling politics into the margins and leaving precious little common ground for compromise. The Second Civil War is not a book for Democrats or Republicans but for all Americans who are disturbed by our current political dysfunction and hungry for ways to understand it—and move beyond it.

Germans in the Civil War by Walter D. Kamphoefner,Wolfgang Helbich Pdf

German Americans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the Civil War era, and they comprised nearly 10 percent of all Union troops. Yet little attention has been paid to their daily lives--both on the battlefield and on the home front--during the war. This collection of letters, written by German immigrants to friends and family back home, provides a new angle to our understanding of the Civil War experience and challenges some long-held assumptions about the immigrant experience at this time. Originally published in Germany in 2002, this collection contains more than three hundred letters written by seventy-eight German immigrants--men and women, soldiers and civilians, from the North and South. Their missives tell of battles and boredom, privation and profiteering, motives for enlistment and desertion and for avoiding involvement altogether. Although written by people with a variety of backgrounds, these letters describe the conflict from a distinctly German standpoint, the editors argue, casting doubt on the claim that the Civil War was the great melting pot that eradicated ethnic antagonisms.

The Lebanese Post-Civil War Novel by Felix Lang Pdf

After the Lebanese Civil War, many Lebanese novelists committed themselves to building a "memory for the future." What resulted was a vital contribution to the legacy of contemporary Arabic literature. Through interviews, literary analysis, and the lens of trauma studies, Lang sheds light on what it means to remember through post-war literature.

A Documentary History of the American Civil War Era by Thomas C. Mackey Pdf

Although the bulk of the selections have to do with the origins and conduct of the War and Reconstruction, with particular emphasis on civil rights, there are a couple of outliers as well - the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 and the National Banking Act of 1863, for example - which appear to have been included because of their long-term importance to modern American infrastructure. Indeed, less than half of the selections actually occur during the Civil War, and, with a couple of exceptions, the volume disregards Confederate legislation. The more extensive coverage is on the postwar period to 1878, with particular emphasis on the running battle between Andrew Johnson and the Republican Congress, culminating in Articles of Impeachment against the President in 1868.

The Civil War and Reconstruction Eras by John R. Vile Pdf

The carefully selected and edited readings in this book are chronologically arranged so that students can trace the progression of events and understand the thoughts of those living during the critical Civil War and Reconstruction periods. Both the Civil War and Reconstruction were pivotal moments in American history that have shaped race relations, perceptions of national power, and the relations between the national government and the states. Powerful political figures, who were often guided by lofty motives, found themselves caught up in circumstances that were largely beyond their direct control. Issues often proved far more complex than anticipated, and many initial "solutions" that were set in motion more than 130 years ago continue to affect current U.S. politics. This book provides American history students and teachers with a handy reference that examines all important aspects of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The author models how an expert scholar interacts with primary sources, thereby providing guidance that shows readers how to pick apart and critically evaluate firsthand the key documents chronicling these major events in American history. The deftly edited readings in this book are presented in chronological order so that students can trace the progression of events and thinking of various individuals during the critical Civil War and Reconstruction periods. Annotations explain key terms and highlight key portions of laws, presidential speeches and orders, Supreme Court decisions, and other sources from the period.

The Civil War Soldier and the Press by Katrina J. Quinn,David B. Sachsman Pdf

The Civil War Soldier and the Press examines how the press powerfully shaped the nation’s understanding and memory of the common soldier, setting the stage for today’s continuing debates about the Civil War and its legacy. The history of the Civil War is typically one of military strategies, famous generals, and bloody battles, but to Americans of the era, the most important story of the war was the fate of the soldier. In this edited collection, new research in journalism history and archival images provide an interdisciplinary study of citizenship, representation, race and ethnicity, gender, disability, death, and national identity. Together, these chapters follow the story of Civil War soldiers, from enlistment through battle and beyond, as they were represented in hometown and national newspapers of the time. In discussing the same pages that were read by soldiers’ families, friends, and loved ones during America’s greatest conflict, the book provides a window into the experience of historical readers as they grappled with the meaning and cost of patriotism and shared sacrifice. Both scholarly and approachable, this book is an enriching resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in Civil War history, American history, journalism, and mass communication history.
