In 1934; Erich Neumann; considered by many to have been Carl Gustav Jung's foremost disciple; sent Jung a handwritten note: "I will pursue your suggestion of elaborating on the 'Symbolic Contributions' to the Jacob-Esau problem . . . The great difficulty is the rather depressing impossibility of a publication." Now; eighty years later; in Jacob and Esau: On the Collective Symbolism of the Brother Motif; his important work is finally published. In this newly discovered manuscript; Neumann sowed the seeds of his later works. It provides a window into his original thinking and creative writing regarding the biblical subject of Jacob and Esau and the application of the brother motif to analytical psychology. Neumann elaborates on the central role of the principle of opposites in the human soul; contrasting Jacob's introversion with Esau's extraversion; the sacred and the profane; the inner and the outer aspects of the God-image; the shadow and its projection; and how the old ethic- expressed; for example; in the expulsion of the scapegoat-perpetuates evil. Mark Kyburz; translator of C. G. Jung's The Red Book; has eloquently rendered Neumann's text into English. Erel Shalit's editing and introduction provide an entrée into Neumann's work on this subject; which will be of interest to a wide range of readers; from lay persons to professionals interested in Jungian psychology and Jewish and religious studies. Erich Neumann was born in Berlin in 1905. He emigrated to Israel in 1934 and lived in Tel Aviv until his death in 1960. For many years he lectured and played a central role at Eranos; the seminal conference series in analytical psychology. His writings include Depth Psychology and a New Ethic; The Origins and History of Consciousness; and The Great Mother. Thecorrespondence between C. G. Jung and Neumann was published in 2015. Dr. Erel Shalit is a Jungian psychoanalyst in Israel and founding director of the Analytical Psychotherapy Program at Bar Ilan University. He is the author of several books; including The Cycle of Life and The Hero and His Shadow. Dr. Mark Kyburz specializes in scholarly translation from German into English and is the co- translator of C. G. Jung's The Red Book (2009). He lives and works in Zürich; Switzerland.

Montana's Confederate HeritageBy Civil War LibrarianMontana was not an organized territory until the spring of 1864 and was over a thousand miles away from military operations in Kansas and New Mexico. During the first three years of the war the region that would become Montana was divided between the territories of Washington; Idaho and Dakota. During the war there were those Confederate soldiers that deserted or Confederate civilians who drifted into this region. In the southwest area one community wished to name itself Varina; in honor of Varina Davis; the wife of the Confederate president. This was dismissed by a regional judge who was a native of Connecticut but did allow a substitute name; Virginia. In 1862; gold was discovered in the region and one strike was named Confederate Gulch. Such loyalty issues arose and caught the attention of Unionists in the region who brought it to the attention of the national government which remedied the situation by creating the Montana Territory.Ken Robison; the author of Confederates In Montana Territory is a Montana native; historic preservationist; newspaper columnist; historian and retired captain of the U.S. navy's intelligence branch. He has authored four other books on Montana's early history and a frequent contributor to the Montana: The Magazine of Western History and other regional journals.Confederates In Montana Territory: In The Shadow of Price's Army offers detailed and entertaining stories regarding Confederate veterans commanded by William Quantrill; Bill Anderson; Nathan Bedford Forrest and John Mosby. Robison's focus includes particular cavalry regiments and the unique adventures that the Confederate veterans experienced during the war. The Moore brothers accompanied Jefferson Davis during his flight from Richmond; Virginia; others were veterans of the Confederate Marine Corps. Robison uniquely captures the lives of former slaves who migrated to Montana during and after the war. His work is a biography driven account of Confederate soldiers; civilians and contrabands living together on western frontier. Confederates In Montana Territory: In The Shadow of Price's Army offers a clear and concise account which is a fine example of local and regional historical research done well.
