In this never before published diary, 29-year-old surgeon James Fulton transports readers into the harsh and deadly conditions of the Civil War as he struggles to save the lives of the patients under his care. Fulton joined a Union army volunteer regiment in 1862, only a year into the Civil War, and immediately began chronicling his experiences in a pocket diary. Despite his capture by the Confederate Army at Gettysburg and the confiscation of his medical tools, Fulton was able to keep his diary with him at all times. He provides a detailed account of the next two years, including his experiences treating the wounded and diseased during some of the most critical campaigns of the Civil War and his relationships with soldiers, their commanders, civilians, other health-care workers, and the opposing Confederate army. The diary also includes his notes on recipes for medical ailments from sore throats to syphilis.In addition to Fulton's diary, editor Robert D. Hicks and experts in Civil War medicine provide context and additional information on the practice and development of medicine during the Civil War, including the technology and methods available at the time, the organization of military medicine, doctor-patient interactions, and the role of women as caregivers and relief workers. Civil War Medicine: A Surgeon's Diary provides a compelling new account of the lives of soldiers during the Civil War and a doctor's experience of one of the worst health crises ever faced by the United States.

Set in New Orleans in the years after the Civil War, A SEPARATE COUNTRY is based on the incredible life of John Bell Hood, arguably one of the most controversial generals of the Confederate Army - and one of its most tragic figures. Robert E. Lee promoted him to major general after the Battle of Antietam. The Civil War would mark him forever: at Gettysburg he lost the use of his left arm. at the Battle of Chickamauga his right leg was amputated. After the war he married Anna Marie Hennen and fathered 11 children with her, including three sets of twins. But fate had other plans. Crippled by his war wounds and defeat, ravaged by financial misfortune, Hood had one last foe to battle: Yellow Fever. A SEPARATE COUNTRY is the heartrending story of a man who struggled with his inability to admit his failures - and the story of those who taught him to love, and to be loved, and transformed him.

Nothing tells a story better than the story-songs of country music. A GUITAR AND A PEN presents, for the first time, the literary work of some of the best storytellers in the world: the songwriters who cut and polish tales down to sparkling three-minute gems. A blend of fiction and nonfiction, humor and poignancy, these tales range from Kris Kristofferson's charming tale of how an explicit natural rock formation causes chaos in a small farming town, to the true story of Bluegrass founder Bill Monroe's first visit to the White House as told by Hazel Smith, to Charlie Daniels character-driven fable of money and unhappiness, to Gary Nicholson's riveting tale of an albino African American singer/songwriter who inspired him to be a musician. A celebratrion of music and storytelling, other contributors include Hal Ketchum, Janis Ian, Mark D. Sanders, Tom T. Hall, Marshall Chapman, and Robert Hicks, among many other notable Nashville luminaries.

Ever wonder what really happens when you die? What if heaven and hell aren't what you were told? What if the answer to why you're depressed has nothing to do with what your therapist says? Ever wonder why you exist at all? Something is wrong...and you know it. Things feel "e;off."e; You just don't know exactly what it is — or how to fix it.This is your book.Twenty-seven years ago, after being diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition, Robert Hicks became terrified of death. So he went looking for answers, from the people best equipped to provide them.He started with every near-death experience (NDE) he could find — people who "e;died,"e; and came back. The information was so consistent that Hicks knew he was onto something. So he kept digging. Past life hypnosis, astrology, channeled material, parallel realities, and alien abductions. The entire library of subjects most people were afraid to take seriously.He found patterns that traditional religious leaders, psychologists, and self-help gurus had missed, dismissed, or chose to ignore. After years of cross-verification, with an open mind and scientific scrutiny, he put the pieces of the puzzle together. That framework helped him overcome his fear of death and his battle with life-long depression.It's time for this information to be known.The Great Recalibration is an evidence-based, data-driven guide to what's actually going on, what's destroying your happiness — and how to fix it. Not the latest pop-psychology fad, regurgitated psychobabble or religious dogma. Not opinion or conspiracy theories. Something refreshing and new.The truth. About this life…and what comes next.Hicks provides clear answers to common questions. Why you're depressed. Why traditional religion stopped working for you. What actually happens when you die. Why regret is pointless. Why your "e;stuff"e; is lying to you. How we might be in a simulation. How fear is simply a lack of information. And why help may be coming from a very unexpected source…and you'll never believe it.But this isn't just a diagnosis or some cute little woo-woo, foo-foo, click-bait "e;toolkit"e; — it's a laser-guided missile.Part One is called The "e;Religious-mess"e; Dogma Disaster because near death experiencers paint a very different picture of God, Jesus, heaven, and hell than you'd expect. Part Two, The Recalibration, will redefine how you see life. The truth about purpose, destiny, free will, reincarnation, karma, prayer, manifesting, and more. Part Three are the happiness "e;hacks"e; that Hicks used to take back control of his life. And they will do the same for you.It's the information you need and tools you can use, built on evidence collected over twenty-seven years. But this isn't a textbook. It's an instruction manual, written by a regular person. Just a guy with a lot to tell you. The delivery is direct, conversational, and a hell of a lot funnier than you'd expect from a book about life — and death.Hicks holds a master's and a bachelor's degree in Psychology and is currently putting them to great use...as a grill cook at Chipotle. He's lived the dream and the nightmare and survived both. Wisdom is the glue that holds all this together. The framework works — and it's about to be pushed to its absolute limit during his upcoming prison sentence.Yes, prison. Where he will be writing his next book.If you've tried everything: therapy, meditation, friends, religion, "e;experts"e;, and a shelf full of now dusty, self-help books and none of it made any real difference — this one will. Hicks lays out the evidence, but lets the reader decide for themselves. The truth was never the problem. It's out there if you look long enough and hard enough. Hicks did. And now, like the peace that comes with understanding, it's yours.
