Against the backdrop of thousands of gawking and disorderly onlookers, a Franklin County Sheriff, oversees the public hanging of the Coley brothers for the murder of a Jewish peddler. On humid July, Friday the 13th, 1884 in Louisburg, North Carolina, Tom and Calvin Coley meet their death at the end of a rope on the front lawn of the Franklin County Courthouse. Later they were carried by wagon to a little hamlet called Wood about 20 miles away to be buried where they were born. Originally published in 1984 by the late W. F. Shelton, The Day the Black Rain Fell is part whodunit, part courtroom drama and a vivid re-telling of crime and punishment a hundred or so years ago. Shelton, a former mayor, municipal judge, theater operator and accountant, brings to life that balmy day when honorable men, obligated to uphold the "rule of law," mete out a horrific punishment.

This is a collection of war letters written by teenagers George and Walter Battle during their service in Company F, 4th North Carolina Regiment, CSA. Underage, yet full of vitality and idealism, these boys were not just fighting for their country; they were fighting to protect their family's name. Two young brothers had gone off to war as mere boys. Their experiences quickly hardened and molded them into veterans of the greatest army ever to march on American soil.

The North Carolina State archives currently holds more than 4,600 files relating to pension claims that were filed between 1885 and 1901 - the so-called "1885 series." These files contain information on nearly 3,100 men who died during the war and on more than 1,500 men who suffered disabling wounds. In this book, pertinent information from these files has been extracted and collated, to help researchers locate service records and other details on North Carolina Confederate troops.

Sparrows' Nest of Letters

Written almost 100 years ago, Lincoln As The South Should Know Him remains a reference source for historians today. It seems Southerners in the early part of the twentieth century faced the same problems and misinformation Southerners in the twenty-first century face. In fact, twenty-first century Southerners face even more problems with the political correctness and liberal agendas of modern day historians - if history is even taught at all. Blacknall also exposes the atrocities overseen by Generals Sherman and Grant, their so-called troops and most of Lincoln's cabinet members in this short - but to the point book. Lincoln As The South Should Know Him holds a unique place in history as one lone voice of reason and logic in a wilderness of misinformation, falsehoods and political correctness.

The Truth of the War Conspiracy of 1861

In Truth of the War Conspiracy of 1861 Johnstone explains how Lincoln and his co-conspirators used deceit, half truths, lies and violation of international law to promote their war conspiracy. Johnstone wrote his book in 1917 using documentation which was not available when the post war Confederates, such as Davis, Stephens, Semmes and Pollard, wrote their histories of the conflict. Johnstone adds even more documentation and explanation to how Lincoln managed to initiate his war of aggression against the people of the South who merely wanted to be "left alone" to live under a government ordered on the consent of the governed.

History books, the media, school systems and on, and on, and on, abound in falsehoods and inaccuracies of Confederate and Southern history. Here are but a few fictional teachings which are presented today as true.

Another Look at Six Myths in the Lost Cause

Montgomery, Richard Lee

The hope for this book is to show the narrative of the day when the South was invaded by those who desired to inflict their ideals, morals and attitudes, just because "these Southerners" needed to be brought back under the Northerner's way of life, their philosophy of life and their interpretation of the law. But above all, it was because the Northerners way of life was jolted economically when the Southern states seceded from the Union. Hopefully, as you read these quotes and narratives, of which most come from primary sources, that it will bring us closer to the facts of history and erase the opinions, of the new order of modern historians, where facts are deemed as secondary. History can easily become a lie when interpreted by the opinions of men and then, what do you get? Certainly you get no facts. George Santayana hit the bulls eye when he said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
