The Battle of Chickamauga: A Captivating Guide to the Biggest Battle Ever Fought in Georgia and Its Impact on the American Civil War by Captivating History English | January 29, 2022 | ISBN: 1637165641 | 78 pages | EPUB | 2.41 Mb Did you know that the second-largest battle of the Civil War in terms of casualties took place near a small creek in Georgia whose native name means "River of Death?"  Matthew Ward, "The Battle for Quebec 1759: Britain's Conquest of Canada" English | ISBN: 0752419978 | 2005 | 286 pages | EPUB | 13 MB The definitive history of the campaigns in Canada between the British and French Empires during the Seven Years War. On September 13, 1759, British and French forces fought one of the most decisive battles of history, on the Plains of Abraham outside the Canadian capital of Quebec. The British force decisively routed the French, seized the city and ultimately all of Canada. Both the French and British commanders fell in the battle, and ever since the pathos and heroism of the encounter have engrossed historians. The struggle for Quebec was far more than one climactic battle. The campaign involved an immense military and naval operation, an 18th-century D-Day, which had begun the year before. Matthew Ward has researched extensively in archives in Britain and Canada to look at the entire campaign for Quebec, from its inception in Whitehall to its ultimate culmination in Montreal in 1760. He has probed beyond the actions of commanders and generals, to examine the experiences of the campaign for the ordinary soldier and civilian. What emerges is not just a picture of bravery and heroism, but also of a campaign which became increasingly brutal and cruel, both sides resorting to practices such as the routine scalping of enemy dead. It is also a surprising picture of the day-to-day, often mundane, lives of civilians and troops many thousands of miles from home.  The Ashgate Research Companion to Henry Purcell By Rebecca Herissone 2012 | 420 Pages | ISBN: 075466645X | PDF | 5 MB The "Ashgate Research Companion to Henry Purcell" provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of current research into Purcell and the world of Restoration music, with contributions from leading experts in the field. Seen from the perspective of modern, interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship, a composer research companion focussing on Purcell allows the reader to develop a rounded view of the environment in which Purcell lived, the people with whom he worked, the social conditions that influenced his activities, and the ways in which the modern perception of him has been affected by reception of his music after his death. In this sense the contributions do not privilege the individual over the environment: rather, they use the modern reader's familiarity with Purcell's music as a gateway into the broader Restoration world. Coverage includes the sources of Purcell's music and transmission; new ways of approaching the study of Purcell's techniques of composition; performance practice; theatre culture; texts and symbolism - both the political and social context, and reception history. The book will be essential reading for anyone studying the music and culture of the seventeenth century.
