Moving to a new home can be a tremendous journey for parents and children alike. The Adventurers Club was written to help families going through that transition. Speaking directly to the reader, the sibling duo of The Adventurers Club invite children to join them and their pet turtle Snappy as they turn packing boxes into pirate ships, empty rooms into art canvases, strangers into friends, and a new house into a home.

The second, and revised edition of Colonel Knight's experiences as helicopter pilot in Vietnam from 1961-1962. Describing, in detail, missions in an era when most didn't know the United States had a presence in Southeast Asia. This book is about the continuation of someone else's war and the very early days in the assumption of that war by the United States of America. It is set against the beginning of a major expansion of our advisory effort supporting the South Vietnamese Government which was fighting against an expanding guerrilla war supported by the communist North. North Vietnam was in turn supported by both China and Russia, thus setting the stage for an essentially no win situation. The geopolitical problem was, of course, of limited concern to most of those soldiers who fought there, including the men of the 57th Transportation Helicopter Company. As conditions worsened they just went out and flew the missions including the first heliborne assault of the war and for a year afterward. In words written at the time, this was a period when they were not going by the book, they were writing the book on helicopter combat operations. This is their story as told by the operations officer that led the flying activity in the unit. It is a description of the training, deployment and first missions in Vietnam. It recounts the serious aspects encountered in the early days, but it also tells of the accidents, incidents and the humorous side of things that are often left out of wartime accounts. There are chapters about dealing with the United States Air Force and the United States Marine Corps as they entered the fray. Not the least of the story has to do with the interaction between the author and some of the more senior officers involved in the war at that time. In those cases, the author often contradicts the official view and draws uncomplimentary conclusions about their conduct and eventual impact on the Vietnam War.

Saddle Up recounts the experiences of John C. Hedley and his fellow brothers in arms in the reconnaissance platoon known as Fox Force (E Company, 1st Battalion 14th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division) as they fought through the jungles of the Central Highlands of the former Republic of South Vietnam from 1969-1970. While much has been written about this infamous war, this story not only paints a picture of what it was like to be a solider, but also gives a glimpse in to how something so ugly could forge an incredible bond between strangers that lives on to this day. His time spent in Vietnam went on to shape the rest of his life.

My Dad Has The Most Important Job In The World

Avertori was once a wonder of the industrial age, filled with mechanical marvels and extravagant art. Built at the crossroads of three continents, it was here that humanity harnessed the elements of power and wrought one marvel after another. Towering art deco architecture and locomotives the size of ocean liners typified the era. But these wonders slowly decay. After centuries of corruption only echoes of that time remain. Most people are now little more than serfs, bought and sold by the great trade houses.
Others have it even worse.
So flare the sparks of revolution.

Hurrah for Georgia! The History of the 38th Georgia Regiment tells the story of the 38th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, as part of Lawton's - Gordon's - Evans' Georgia Brigade. The 38th Georgia was in the thick of the fight in nearly every major battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia. Few Confederate regiments can claim they were at the crux of key battles, time and time again. They broke the Federal line and captured five pieces of artillery at the battle of Gaines Mill, as part of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's Corp. They opened the battle of Second Manassas, attacking the Union "Iron Brigade" as they marched down the Warrenton Turnpike. They fired the first shots in the battle of Antietam, just before daybreak, at the southern edge of Miller's cornfield. When Stonewall Jackson's line was broken at the battle of Fredericksburg, the Georgia Brigade and 38th Georgia Regiment were called on to lead the counterattack, successfully expelling the Federals from the Confederate rear and restoring Jackson's line. They led the charge at Gettysburg on the first day of battle, crushing the right flank of the Union Army, capturing hundreds of Yankee prisoners, and sending the survivors reeling through the streets of Gettysburg. When the Confederate line of battle was on the brink of disaster on the first day of the Wilderness, Gordon's Brigade and the 38th Georgia, counterattacked, shattering the famed Union "Iron Brigade" and stabilizing the Confederate line. The very next day they joined General Gordon's flank attack on the Union right, nearly unhinging General
U. S. Grant's army. At the battles of Spotsylvania Court House, they launched a counterattack when the Confederate line was broken on May 10th, 1864, expelling the attackers and restoring General Lee's line. Two days later, on May 12, they suffered under the juggernaut of the massive Federal attack and were part of the Confederate counterattack that stopped the Federals cold, saving General Lee's army from certain annihilation. They marched to the gates of Washington, DC, with Early's Second Corp during the summer of 1864. They endured severe hardship and intense suffering in the trenches around Petersburg, Virginia in the final months of the war. Finally. they marched to Appomattox Court House with the remnants of General Lee's army, as the curtain fell on the Army of Northern Virginia in April of 1865. They traveled to Virginia 1,200 strong in the Spring of 1862 and when the war ended over 570 soldiers had fallen in battle, or died from disease. Another 172 soldiers were disabled by wounds or disease, At least 361 soldiers were captured during the war. It's little wonder only 105 soldiers remained in the ranks of the 38th Georgia to surrender at Appomattox Court House in April of 1865. The survivors walked home to Georgia, a journey of some 400 miles, with many not knowing if their homes were still standing, or even if their families were still alive, after Sherman's devastating March to the Sea. Few Confederate regiments witnessed so many pivotal moments in the history of the Army of Northern Virginia and this is their story.
