Foreword by Curt Schilling. This book could not have happened without the enthusiasm and support of the National World War II Museum. Includes essays, sections, and ballplayer profiles by Gordon "Nick" Mueller, Gary Bedingfield, Frank Ceresi, William Mead, as well as the editor. A perspectives section included articles by Bill Swank, Kerry Yo Nakagawa, Merrie FIdler, and Terry Allvord. It also includes a list of Major Leaguers who served in WWII and a list of Major and Minor Leaguers killed during WWII. Among the interesting essays is on on the Chemical Warfare Service. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, plunging the United States into World War II. The next day, Bob Feller, star pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, enlisted in the U.S. Navy--becoming the first major-league ballplayer to join the military during the war--and volunteered immediately for combat service. The dramatic confluence of patriotism and the national pastime changed not only the lives of many enlistees, but of America itself. When Baseball Went to War is the stirring account of how Feller and other major leaguers answered their nation's call, leaving their homes and loved ones for duty, honor, and country. The lucky ones sacrificed only a few years of their playing careers; others sacrificed their lives. Men like Yogi Berra, Dom DiMaggio, Monte Irvin, Jerry Coleman, Moe Berg, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Warren Spahn, called heroes at the ballpark by their adoring fans, discovered true heroism in the lives of their fellow servicemen and women who never made it home., Triumph Books, 2008, 3, Privately Printed Book.

Jillson RARE KENTUCKY BOOKS, p171 for the 141 page version. See Coleman 3204 for this one. In one of the most famous of all Kentucky cases, Powers was charged with being an accessory before the fact to the murder of Kentucky Governor-elect William Goebel at Frankfort on January 30, 1900. Upon change of venue, he was tried in the Scott Circuit Court and confined to the Georgetown jail for several years. He was actually tried four times, being convicted in the first three, but the verdicts were overturned. The last trial deadlocked. So far as I know, Goebel remains the only Governor in American history to die in office of wounds inflicted by an assassin. After all these years, the evidence is too contradictory and the people involved were too partisan so that we still do not know with certainty who killed the governor.., Privately Printed, 2.5, New. <i>The American Revolution in Georgia </i>explores the political, economic, and social impacts of the American Revolution throughout the state of Georgia. In this detailed historical study, Kenneth Coleman describes the events leading up to the Revolution, the fighting years of war, and the years of readjustment after independence became a reality for the United States. Coleman investigates how these events impacted Georgia’s history forever, from the rise of discontent between 1764 and 1774 to the fighting after the siege in Savannah between 1779 and 1782 and changes in interstate affairs between 1782 to 1789, and more. <i>The American Revolution in Georgia </i>contributes to the complicated history of the American Revolution and its impacts on the South.<br /><br />The Georgia Open History Library has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

From King Kong to Candyman, the boundary-pushing genre of the horror film has always been a site for provocative explorations of race in American popular culture. In Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from 1890's to Present, Robin R. Means Coleman traces the history of notable characterizations of blackness in horror cinema, and examines key levels of black participation on screen and behind the camera. She argues that horror offers a representational space for black people to challenge the more negative, or racist, images seen in other media outlets, and to portray greater diversity within the concept of blackness itself. Horror Noire presents a unique social history of blacks in America through changing images in horror films. Throughout the text, the reader is encouraged to unpack the genre's racialized imagery, as well as the narratives that make up popular culture's commentary on race. Offering a comprehensive chronological survey of the genre, this book addresses a full range of black horror films, including mainstream Hollywood fare, as well as art-house films, Blaxploitation films, direct-to-DVD films, and the emerging U.S./hip-hop culture-inspired Nigerian "Nollywood" Black horror films. Horror Noire is, thus, essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how fears and anxieties about race and race relations are made manifest, and often challenged, on the silver screen., 6<
