Money As Debt DVD: How money is created?
I mean, you know how you earn it but where does it really come
from? The answer may just shock you. It shocked me.
I watched this video on line. It is so good at explaining the conceptual notion of
money that I wanted to own hard copy of it. The process of money creation is so
astounding and so important for all of us to finally understand, I wanted to
make the DVD easy for others to obtain. So I contacted the author in Canada and
bought some to distribute here. Check out his own website
here for a trailer and reviews.

In going beyond the scope of biographical works, Vetter researched Sherman's
personal letters and papers to focus on the psyche of the man, his commitment to
his goals, and the effects he had on the world around him. This thorough,
accurate, and insightful study of General Sherman brings new light to the
military and social history of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras |
SHERMAN: Merchant of Terror, Advocate of Peace
By Charles Edmund Vetter, Ph.D.
352 pp. 6 1/8 x 9¼
Notes-Bibliography-Index-b/w photos
#BSHER $25.00To the South he was a barbarian. To the North he was a hero.
To historians he was a man who changed the course of American military history
and reshaped military strategy.
William Tecumseh Sherman was a man driven by an intense desire to be a
successful soldier. Using superior intellect, practical observation, and logical
reasoning, he developed his theory of "Total War." He then put his theories to
the ultimate test and emerged victorious in Civil War battles from Shiloh to
Savannah.
SHERMAN: Merchant of Terror, Advocate of Peace is not another
biography of the Civil War general. Instead, it analyzes Sherman's philosophy of
war. This investigative book examines the personality of this famous figure and
the influences behind his military philosophy, tracing back to his military
beginnings at West Point and including his relationship with General Grant and
their shared perspective on the goal of war.
A noted Sherman scholar, Dr. Charles Edmund Vetter evaluates Sherman's place in
the full context of military history and explains the
sociological impact of the general's actions and the resulting devastation.
Vetter claims that Sherman's war against the economic, political, and social
systems of the South during his March to the Sea were crucial in establishing
superiority over the South's military.

The Flags of Civil War North Carolina
By Glenn Dedmondt
#FLOFNC $24.50
Flags stir powerful emotions, and few objects evoke such a sense of duty and
love of one’s homeland. In April 1861, the first flag of a new republic flew
over North Carolina. The state had just seceded from the union, and its citizens
would soon have to fight for their homes, their families, and their way of life.
The Flags of Civil War North Carolina is the history of this short-lived
republic (which later joined the Confederacy), told through the banners that
flew over its government, cavalry, and navy. From the hand-painted flag of the
Guilford Greys to the flag of the Buncombe Riflemen--made from the dresses of
the ladies of Asheville--this collection is an exceptional tribute to the
valiant men who bore these banners and to their ill-fated crusade for
independence.

The
Flags of Civil War Arkansas By
Glenn Dedmondt #FLOFAR $24.25
From the end of 1860 through the spring of 1861,
representatives from throughout Arkansas gathered to discuss the option
of secession. The question had been put to the legislators multiple times, but
Unionist tendencies prevailed in Arkansas, and the state was not among the first
to secede. On May 6, 1861, however, the representatives of the "Nary One" state
met and decided that Arkansas belonged with her Southern brothers and voted 69
to 1 to dissolve their ties with the federal government.
Throughout the course of the Civil War, Arkansas furnished sixty-five thousand
men to serve in defense of the South, and each of the companies and regiments
proudly bore a banner to represent their cause. In this painstakingly researched
study of Arkansas Civil War-era flags, the author presents a stunning history of
the Civil War in Arkansas as told through the state's company, battle, and
regiment flags. Included are the Bonnie Blue Flag, the First National Flag of
the Confederate States, and dozens of Arkansas Infantry and Cavalry regiment and
battalion flags, along with a concise text about the history of each unit and
flag itself.

THE
FLAGS OF CIVIL WAR MISSOURI By Glenn Dedmondt #FLOFMO $24.00
Flags awaken incredibly powerful and patriotic emotions. Throughout the 1860s,
scores of Missouri secession flags, state guard flags, and battle flags unfurled
over the ranks of men defending their homelands against invading soldiers from
the North. Symbolizing the way of life the men of Missouri sought to protect,
these flags provide a unique index to the history of the Civil War in this
western state.
From the stirring banner borne by the First Regiment Missouri Volunteer Militia,
which serves as a significant reminder of the Camp Jackson massacre, to the
famed flag Brig. Gen. Joseph O. Shelby never surrendered, each Missouri ensign
represents a moment in history.
This comprehensive study of Missouri's Civil War-era flags presents more than
fifty authentic flags, along with a history of the origins and the units they
represented. The emblems, materials, construction, and dimensions of each flag
are also included. From the state secession flags of 1861 to the flags of the
Missouri State Guard and the Audrain County Flag of the Second Missouri Infantry
Regiment, this examination is a true tribute to the men who bore these colors
and is certain to be cherished by Civil War experts, genealogists, and students
of military history.
