Sent to the United States as a war correspondent for the Illustrated London News; Frank Vizetelly quickly found himself in hot water with the Federal secretary of war when his depictions of Bull Run hit the papers. He was forbidden access to the Union army; so he took up with the Confederates instead; covering the Civil War from Charleston to the Mississippi and north to Virginia; becoming a favorite among the soldiers and even; at times; acting as a spy. His articles and sketches shaped the views of the English regarding the war; creating support for the Southern cause throughout Great Britain. Join Civil War historian Douglas W. Bostick as he relates the many engagements and battles covered by Vizetelly; including Charleston; Fredericksburg; Vicksburg; the March on Richmond and the early Mississippi campaigns; all accompanied by the artist's engravings and reported in his own lively words. Vizetelly's remarkable story has never been properly told until now.

Apostle of St; Joseph; Friend of the SufferingBy James MorrisGreat book about a truly extraordinary man. I love reading about modern saints because it makes sainthood more accessible. He was a truly humble man and a great inspiration. I'd highly recommend learning his story.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Brother Andre leads to St. JosephBy J. PatrickI will reread this book many times in the future. It is the biography of a humble soul who waits for Gods plan to unfold in God's time not his own.I have never seen a saint that just expects through faith for God to do his work. I love it.Brother Andre leads people to use the intersession of St. Joseph as the foster father and member of the Holy Family.Well worth the read.
