Subtitled "A Confederate Primer;" this little book covers a wide range of subjects in short; succinct chapters on the true causes of the war; the historical and economic background behind Southern slavery; the usurpations and deceptions of Abraham Lincoln; State sovereignty and the right of secession; the sterling character of such Confederate leaders as Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis; and much more.

A Street Level View of One of The World's Great CitiesBy Michael SlaterA first rate account of life in this glorious and grand city from street level ; which is where it is best enjoyed. If you intend to visit for the first time; if you are a newly arrived resident looking for orientation or if you are like me and a resident of more than forty years; this is a book you can enjoy and learn from. Put in in your Kindle and take a walk. You'll be glad you did.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome book!By CustomerA few years ago I happened upon "The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6;000 Miles in the City;" by accident; if all accidents were this profitable to encouraging us to invite each other into our lives as was this book for me; then give me another shot! As I was writing my latest book William's book came along just in time to make a difference for me personally; and for insight to what I was writing.-Personally; because it challenged me to want to be more involved with people: day to day people I know; family; and perfect strangers.-Regarding the insight in my writing; "The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6;000 Miles in the City" gave me many springboard moments from which I could continue on a theme which may have been halted if I had not read his book.William B Helmreich is one of my favorite authors.Jacob Bergen1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonder book. I was drawn into all the wonderful streets of NY by this author.By YvonneI am really enjoying this book. I have not spent much time in NY City; but the times I have been I was really nervous.I see NY through different eyes now. Great read well written. I felt as though I was walking with this gentleman through every neighborhood and meeting all the interesting people along the way.Our Granddaughter is off to Columbia and I think this book will really help her to understand what to do and not to do if she finds herselfin some uncertain areas of the City.Thanks Mr. Helmreich for sharing your view of NY City will all of us.Yvonne
