A rare, firsthand Civil War chronicle told by two soldiers-one Union, one Confederate-writing in the same diary. When Private Jacob Elsesser of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves carried a small Daily Remembrancer into the 1862 Peninsula Campaign, he had no idea his diary would one day be continued by the enemy. After months of recording the grinding uncertainty of war, Elsesser abandoned the book in the chaos following the battle of Beaver Dam Creek near Richmond. The diary did not remain abandoned for long - fast on the heels of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves was the 14th Georgia Infantry, including Private George Washington Hall, who discovered the small book in the smoldering ruins of the deserted Union camp. Claiming it as his own, he vowed to turn "a Yankee diary into a Rebel one"-and proceeded to fill its remaining pages for nearly three years. Hall's entries trace his spiritual transformation, the brutal realities of combat, the monotony of camp life, and his survival through illness and nine punishing months as a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware. Edited by Hall's great-granddaughter, history professor Mary Hall, this extraordinary manuscript includes George Washington Hall's additional journal writings from 1862-1863 and a unit history written by Elsesser and preserved by his descendants. Together, these sources create an unparalleled dual portrait of two ordinary men swept into an extraordinary conflict. Through their alternating voices, readers witness: - The ferocity of the Eastern Theater's most decisive battles - The emotional and physical toll of soldiering on both sides - The longing for home that united men divided by allegiance - The faith, sense of duty, and resilience that shaped their post-war lives Elsesser returned to Pennsylvania and served for decades as a respected justice of the peace. Hall, determined to fulfill his wartime promise to spend his life spreading God's word, became a Baptist preacher and missionary in north Florida. Their writings-preserved across generations-offer a rare, deeply human window into America's defining struggle. This is a singular "blue-gray" diary that bridges enemy lines, generations, and the enduring search for meaning in the midst of war.

Mary Hall opinaba que África del Norte, era el destino de los que buscaban mejorar su salud, Sudáfrica el mejor lugar para encontrar dinero, y África Central, el territorio ideal para los que buscaban aventuras. Visitó las tres, y halló la aventura naturalmente en África Central. Fruto de este viaje que inició en 1905, y que le llevó a recorrer 9000 km, escribió la obra: A Woman's Trek from the Cape to Cairo, publicado en 1907 y traducido por primera vez al castellano en nuestra editorial. Se trata de todo un clásico de los viajes protagonizados por las aventureras victorianas.

Three years ago, his mother was killed before his eyes by a stray bullet. When his father becomes unable to keep the family afloat, Clarence is manipulated into running drugs. But he longs to be a good person, in spite of the seemingly impossible odds. Wandering through his neighborhood, Clarence meets Mona, a huge albino Great Dane. The two develop a deep bond. When he is forced to attend a dog fight as a rite of passage, Clarence realizes that Mona isn’t safe, and neither is he. Can he find a way to protect Mona?
