Product Description
When, yielding to the solicitations of my friends, I finally decided to write these Memoirs, the greatest difficulty which confronted me was that of recounting my share in the many notable events of the last three decades, in which I played a part, without entering too fully into the history of these years, and at the same time without giving to my own acts an unmerited prominence.Customer Reviews:

Personal Memoirs of P.H. Sheridan Vol.2 (Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan)
P. H. Sheridan Manufacturer: Digital Scanning ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1582181861 |
Book Description
While on his meteoric rise in the Union army, Philip H. Sheridan earned the enmity of many Virginians for laying waste to the Shenandoah Valley. His date and place of birth is uncertain, but he himself claimed to have been born in New York in 1831. Although he was destined to come out of the Civil War with the third greatest reputation among the victors, his military career did not begin auspiciously. It took him five years to graduate from West Point (1853) because of an altercation with fellow cadet and future Union General, William R. Terrill.After serving in a staff position during the early part of the war he was recommended for the command of a cavalry regiment by Gordon Granger. Within days of taking command he was in charge of the brigade with which he earned his first star at Booneville in northern Mississippi. He fought well at Perryville and Murfreesboro and was given a second star in the volunteers.
When Grant went to the East, he placed Sheridan in command of the Army of the Potomac's mounted arm. Following Early's threat to Washington, Grant tapped Sheridan to command a new military division, comprised of three departments, and charged him with clearing out the Shenandoah Valley. For this campaign he was named brigadier and major general in the regular army and received the Thanks of Congress.
The next March he destroyed Early's remaining forces at Waynesboro and then went on a raid, threatening Lynchburg. Rejoining Grant, he smashed through the Confederate lines at Five Forks, necessitating the evacuation of both Petersburg and Richmond. It was his cavalry command, backed by infantry, which finally blocked Lee's escape at Appomattox.
This is a digital reprint of the two Volume C.L. Webster Shoulder Board editions As Published in 1888. This is Volume 1 (ISBN 1582181853) of 2 (ISBN 1582181861).

Product Description
Happiness is attainable. As a therapist, Dr. Sharon Engeler works with individuals who are in crisis and distress. Many of these individuals are indirectly playing a role in their own happiness.

Even if you're not in crisis or distress, you'll gain a lot of insight from this incredible book. Dr. Engeler believes it is necessary to examine our own actions on a daily basis and correct those things that we may be doing that contribute to our own negative attitudes. We should observe and learn from our own actions and reactions and always remember that all harm to others is automatic. Nine Steps To Happiness is a very compact book that is ideal for everyday use. As a daily reference book, it should be kept by the night stand and reviewed before going to sleep. Happiness is a state of mine, but there are steps that you must take in order to reach and sustain this level of joyous awareness. There is order in the universe and if we want a specific result, we must first learn to use the formula that leads to that result. It is not complicated to learn to be happy & in fact it is very simple. The steps are orderly and are designed to take you higher and higher into a new level of understanding. The first step is the big step and must be completed before moving on to any of the other steps. The tremendous benefits of the successful completion of the first step will make the remainder of the steps easier for you to navigate. By the time you reach the ninth step your total transformation will lead you directly to the path of eternal happiness and peace.

The Flow of Life!.......2002-01-31
"The Brook represents the Universal Flow of actions. The flow of thoughts constitutes the mind and the flow of actions constitutes the life."
There are so many lessons that can be earned from this book. It makes you think and understand what the purpose of life is. It sets you free to find out who you really are, what you really want, where your passions are, and how you can get there. This is a kind of book that I will turn to again and again whenever I need some inspiration.
Regardless of where you are in your life, I suggest that you read this book, with a pen in hand to write down what you are feeling and thinking.
Thank you Dr. Prem Chopra for this wonderful book!

An Enjoyable and Inspiring Book.......2001-12-17
Without preaching, Chopra conveys lessons in spirituality, morality and psychology cleverly woven together with the story of one young man's journey which provides examples of practical applications of the insights offered. Chopra's book shows how one can learn to live purposely and achieve success and fulfillment in their business and personal lives by making choices and decisions thoughtfully rather than reacting on emotions.
In following the guidance for understatnding the "flow" of life's journey, one can gain confidence, achieve freedom from fear, and embark on a self-discovery mission.

Best book of edible flower recipies.......1999-11-11
The book starts out with essential information on cooking with flowers including preserving & drying them. General recipes such as flower butter, honey, sugar, syrup & jelly for each flower follow.
There are also facts on each flower including the scientific name, a brief history, physical characteristics, description of flavor & ideal growing conditions. Great basic information on organic gardening in included as well.
Most of the recipes I've tried, including soups, salads, desserts, drinks & main dishes have been easy to make. My favorite is the herb & flower cheese terrine. It makes a tasty & impressive party appetizer.
