May 20th 1861, 152nd Anniversary of the Secession of North Carolina from the union and joining the Confederacy. God Bless the 'Old Norht State' and our Tarheels!

No word from any more publishers, but no news is good news right?

Well I received my fifth rejection letter from publishers, I still have about twelve out and one that asjed for further information so I suppose there is still hope that one of those will pick it up...

No new word yet from the 16 publishers about my book 'Keep It Southern Y'all' which is a {history, reference, guide} to Southern businesses. I did find another publisher in North Carolina that I sent my proposal to so it's in Gods hands, I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed that it will get picked up...


May 12th & 13th, 1865; The last battle of the 'War of Northern Aggression' the Battle of Palmito Ranch in Cameron County, Texas and a Confederate victory.

Hey y'all well I'm up to 16 publishers I've sent my book proposal to and had one ask for further information on it so we'll see. A good friend and fellow Tarheel who has seen a couple chapters and has been advising me on my book 'Keep It Southern Y'all' thinks the potential of it becoming successful is very high. I've also passed it among friends and family and they think it's great too so we'll see, I'm pretty excited about the possibilities.

General Thomas Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson

A sad day in Southern History, today is the 150th anniversary of the death of one the finest battlefield Generals in history. General Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson died on this day in 1863 from wounds received eight days earlier during the ...balltle of Chancellorsville. General Jackson's last words were "'Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action! Pass the infantry to the front rapidly!" (Then finally) "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." (he was going 'Home †') His superior officer and friend General Robert E. Lee summed it up best when he said, "He has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right arm." † God Bless † your memory sir, we shall forever honor you in the South...
