Book Description

These are the letters of George Washington Partridge, Jr., who enlisted in the Union Army in August, 1861, in the Seventh Wisconsin Volunteers, fought in the Iron Brigade, a Western brigade in the Army of the Potomac, and was killed at Gettysburg in the first day's fighting, July 1, 1863, at age 23. The letters are to his sisters in Erie, Pennsylvania, and in Waukegan, Illinois. Partridge fought in the Iron Brigade from its beginning until its end, from Gainesville, the Second Battle of Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, until Gettysburg, and wrote to his sisters about all but the last.

He writes about life in camp, picket duty, learning courage, discipline, burying the dead, marches, battle, and sometimes boredom, progressing from an eagerness to fight to wishing the war were over, and doing his best by fighting hard to make it so. His letters are direct, colloquial, honest, with little sentimentality and no religiosity. They show his growth in character and an affecting dignity we all would like to share.

I am a native of Erie, Pennsylvania, where George Washington Partridge, Jr. was born more than a century and a half ago. He was my great-great uncle. His letters have come down through four generations and are published here for the first time. I have provided their historical frame, their place in the Civil War, and more particularly, their sequence in the actions of the Iron Brigade.

Customer Reviews:

A Special Viewpoint of the Common Soldier.......2004-12-14

This small but important collection of letters bears the stamp of the common soldier through and through. Partridge's political and personal attitudes towards the war reflect what modern scholars have come to identify as the norm among Federal soldiers during the early part of the war. Written in a simple and direct style, Partridge brings us inside the 7th Wisconsin by sharing his attitudes and experiences on the events he lives. This is complemented by a short commentary by Hugh Whitehouse, who offers brief and intelligent psychological insights and a historical context to understand Partridge's letters. After journeying with Partridge through the joys, hopes, fears and discomforts of his soldiering life, one feels a loss when he is killed at the battle of Gettysburg and his letters come to an end.

Excellent historical content, and interesting to read!.......1999-03-23

I thought this book was well laid out by it's author, who happens to be a descendant from the subject's family. The historical content is excellent, and provides some good insight for history buffs and reenactors alike on the personal opinions and emotions of a soldier in the 7th Wisconsin of the Iron Brigade. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to know more about the men of the legendary Black Hats! In all, a total of 27 letters are published here from George Washington Partridge, Jr. to his sisters, giving the reader a first-hand account of the Civil War through the eyes of a Union soldier.

helpful guide.......2000-10-06

I found this book very helpfull, it tells about evry step of the home buying process. I found the details about closings and the chapter on agents especially enlightening. Knowing the rules behind "seller's agents" and "buyer's agent" is not as simple as it seems, something I would otherwise not have realized. I feel better prepared to begin searching for a house having read it

Book Description

Shania Twain is the hottest woman in country music. With a truckload of number one hits, album sales to rival those of fellow Canadian divas Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette, scores of major awards (including a Grammy for Best Country Album), and legions of loyal fans around the world, she is the reigning goddess of New Country. But it took true grit for this sultry songbird to rise from a hardscrabble childhood to megastardom.

The life of Shania Twain is a Cinderella story plucked from a country song. After growing up in poverty in the north woods of Canada, singing in bars since the age of eight, and taking care of her younger siblings when her parents died tragically, she adopted the name Shania (Ojibwa Indian for "I'm on my way"). Signed to a recording contract, she went on to meet and marry her Prince Charming, superproducer "Mutt" Lange. Together they created The Woman in Me, the biggest-selling album by a female artist in country music history. With her latest release, Come on Over, Shania is about to reach even greater heights .

ON HER WAY is the dazzling chronicle of a dynamic, determined woman, a rags to riches story that will break your heart one moment and send it soaring the next.

Customer Reviews:

And she's still on her way..........2006-06-15

Awesome biography with great sense of detail in the information... Great info about Shania's life...
One bad point: the story ends as Shania starts her Come On Over tour... (a little outdated) but Shania's childhood is what matters... GREAT!!!

Oh Brother.......2005-02-28

This is to (Larry S, "Mad Puppy") AWWWWWWW poor shania grew up poor. Well so do alot of people including myself. And shania's music is about a bibble gum and elementary as britney spears. Shania is one big joke to us country fans. Quantity does not = quality. Just cause she sells a whole latta cd's does not mean her music is good and it shore as hell dont mean her music is country. Theres a sucker born ever minute. She is a nashville POP singer. And Of course shania has sold more than any other country singer, she is marketed world wide. And if her music is country then why is it advertised and marketed as pop in other countries????????? And the scenstories thing is just another way for shania to suck the money out of the pockets her gullabe obsessed fans. And what would reba know?? Reba aint sang a country song it 17 years. Reaba is a big ol' sell out just like shania. All shania has is her look. she cant sing to save her life. Shania is a has been in the country world. Bye bye shania. All you shania fans should go listen to Hank Sr. Now THATS country. How many of shania's fans listen to hank. Probably NONE.

Shania- The "Jesus" of Country Music.......2004-11-11

This book does a good job of covering the life of Shania in a summary manner due to its Reader's Digest nature (mini-book or long article).

The Nashville power base or good olde redneck boys hate Shania cause she ain't "true" country. No matter that she has sold more CD's than any other country artist, male or female.

Country music was declining in sales before Shania was discovered. She has brought new life to country music on a global scale, but gets few awards at the annual CMA ceremony and too many bad reviews by the media critics(magazine, radio jocks). Like Jesus Christ she's being crucified by the power politician's or "priest's" of country "religion".

Critics say she's a bubble gum singer(lyrics) which laughingly describes most country artist songs; she's too pop; she can't sing before a live audience (when she delayed in going on a concert tour after the Woman In Me CD)... on and on.

What matters most is her millions of world-wide fans love her, which shows in the number of CD's, DVD's sales, tickets sold at her live concerts around the world.

Shame on Nashville for crucifying this highly talented, and lovely lady. Jealousy is a nasty character flaw, along with hate, revenge...

Reba McEntire is quoted in the book "... It's almost like everybody is jealous of her success and I don't like that."
RIGHT ON, REBA!

surprisingly tasty.......2004-04-13

Picked it up waiting in line in an east-kansas wal-mart. Couldn't put it down. I was expecting your garden-variety teen idol trash that you usually read while waiting in line to pay for your Funions and Blue Star Ointment. I picked it up for the cover shot of Shania, but kept it for the intensity of the words that lay behind the photo. Gray is obviously a guy as passionate about Twain as I am. To him, the scribe, I would like to say: "Keep scribblin'". After tossing a Carmex and a pack of Chiclets in my bag, I gladly paid the blue-vested cashier and rushed home to learn the rest of the story. Thank you Shania, for the music, and Mr. Gray for the courage to bring her story to us!

On Her Way is a must-read for anyone who waves the young-country flag.

Not My Kinda Biography.......2004-01-03

I love Shania, and this book has some great information about her life, and the experiences that shaped her. The problem is that the author's "extensive research" consists of reading every magazine article ever written about Shania, which the author has to acknowledge every time he quotes one. That means that almost every paragraph in the book contains a sentence like, "As she said in the May 1998 issue of Canadian Country Music Disgest...". I found this aspect of the book very annoying! If not for my interest in Shania, I wouldn't have had the stamina to finish this book.

A Remarkable Man Who Picked the Losing Side of History.......2006-06-03

Alexander McKee's legacy is a victim of the truism that history is written by the victors. His name is unknown to all but the specialist and aficionados of his period, yet had his side won the American Revolution he would be remembered as a bold cultural hero, and perhaps Mel Gibson would even have made a movie about him. In `A Man of Distinction Among Them', Larry Nelson has stepped into the void left by Mr. Gibson's absence, and has recorded a chronicle of McKee's life and career.

McKee served for nearly fifty years with the British Indian Department, and as Nelson writes, "participated in events that had defined Great Britain's imperial interest in the Great Lakes frontier from the capture of Fort Duquesne to the surrender of Detroit." The mixed race son of Thomas McKee, an Irish Indian trader, and a Shawnee Indian mother (who may have been a white captive raised among the Shawnee) McKee first came to prominence serving as an interpreter for Colonel Henry Bouquet in his negotiations with Native tribes during the French & Indian War. He later became a protégé of George Croghan, who had been a business associate of McKee's father. Croghan had been renowned as the King of the Indian Traders, and Sir William Johnson, the head of the Crown's Indian Department in North America, had made him his chief deputy serving the western tribes of the Ohio country. McKee served as Croghan's chief lieutenant until Croghan's retirement from the department in 1771, when McKee replaced him.

While McKee's service had been competent, his genius did not fully emerge until forced by the events of the American Revolution. His allegiance was uncertain at the start of the war, as he was torn between loyalty to the Crown and his own interests as a large landholder on the frontier of Pennsylvania. But in 1778, events moved to force his hand, and he made his escape from Pittsburgh to a British frontier post in the Ohio country. From that point on, he became the single most valuable asset the British had in gaining the alliances of the western tribes, inflaming them against the Rebels, and helping to coordinate their attacks on the frontier into a coherent military strategy. His efforts continued through the end of the Revolution, and into the post Revolutionary period, when he was one of the chief architects of the British Indian policy that encouraged and supported Indian efforts against the Americans in the Indian War of 1790 to 1795. It was not until the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 ended that war and forced the British surrender of Detroit and their other frontier outposts that the frontier became safe from the genius of Alexander McKee.

Though McKee had a long and fascinating career, Nelson's book is slim, at just 187 pages. This is caused by the lack of personal information on McKee, as the book deals almost exclusively with McKee's times and his public career. There is apparently almost no surviving information on McKee's youth, schooling, or personal life. Nelson makes a fair attempt to judge McKee's character and personality from his public actions, but is limited from going in depth by the silence of the historical record on these issues. Nelson's writing style is serviceable, not brilliant, but should be sufficient for anyone with an interest in his subject. His book is an important contribution, as it gives us a study of a pivotally important man who had been overlooked and neglected, and I recommend it highly for those interested in the colonial frontier, French and Indian War, American Revolution, or the Old Northwest.

A British Indian Agent and the Indians.......2005-08-26

Written in a readable style, "Man of Distinction among Them", tells of the British and their negotiations and treaties with the Indians during the period of the French and Indian Wars and afterwards. McKee is the British Indian Agent who works and lives among the Indians in the lands west of the Ohio River and also in the Detroit area. It is a fascinating view of the colonial period and of the British perspective in dealing with the indians that sets the tenor for US relations after the colonial period.

A fascinating look at the Ohio Frontier.......2000-03-06

Alexander McKee died in 1799. A few months after his funeral, Soloman McCulloch remembered that several hundred Indians arrived at the gravsite. Assisted by McKee's son, Thomas, they began "a slow, measured, and dignified dance that celebrated the memory of their departed friend. The ritual began in the morning and continued throughout the night and well into the following day. Simon Girty confided to MuCulloch that in all his years amont the Indian tribes, he had seen the ceremony conducted only twice before. The Indianse reserved the ritual, he claimed, 'Only for men of dintinction among them'" Alexander McKee (1735-1799) is an often overlooked character in historical accounts of the Ohio Frontier, particularly because he worked for the British Crown, thus was on the "wrong" side to be glorified in American History.

McKee's father was an Irish immigrant, his mother a Shawnee, and he was a fur trader like his father. He was equally cuturally adept among the Europeans and Indians. The Indian nations were themselves very diverse and independent, having different culture, language, and interests. Present also were British, American colonists, French, Spaniards, Dutch, all looking to profit in one way or another from the resources or land in the Ohio Frontier. Alexander McKee worked his way up in the Indian Department, employed by the British Crown to oversee Indian affairs. Serving in various capacities for nearly fifty years, he was educated by experience and motivated by alleigance to the Crown, but with sympathies to Indian interests. McKee was an important contributor to the Ohio Frontier. He exploited his extensive knowledge of differences in cultures and language, and became a valuable tool in the evolution of the frontier throughout the Revolutionary War and afterward as inevitable migration by settlers to the West. At the beginning of his career, McKee's cultural identification was primarily with the Indian nations, whom he considered his people, His keen negotiating skills and knowledge of Indian customs, as well as his own economic self interests, led him to become a wealthy, respected member of both the British community and the Indian nations, but now more culturally aligned with the British. As the political climates and land boundaries were constantly evolving, McKee was instrumental and influential in those changes.

McKee's life is a micro example of the tremendous diversity of cultures that was present in the Ohio Frontier in the 1700's, and how those cultures were integrated into what Ohio would become. He was instrumental in the evolution of those changes, as he spent his life negotiating the self interests of many factions for a mutually satisfying resolution. This is an interesting, engaging book by Dr. Larry L. Nelson, rich in history and a personal look at a man who was a contributor to that history.
