Excerpt from Memorial Pictures of War and Peace The McNiels. As I go out in harvest time, To glean among the sheaves, I try to learn the tracery of The sunlight on the leaves. I analyze, at eventide, The thoughts that go and come, When the eye is fixed on vacancy And the dreamer's lips are dumb. I have only taken one little leaf, Where the forest of dead leaves fall, And sent it afloat on the ocean of life - God guard it, who guideth all! An Eastern river, flowing down, Doth glide past hamlet, woodland, town, Doth widen, deepen, all the way From upland spring to ocean bay.

Excerpt from Memorial Day, May Thirtieth, 1910 Not to glorify war nor the heroes of war was Memorial Day set apart. It was rather to impress upon us and our children the terrible price which our permanent peace has cost, and to keep constantly before us the picture of havoc and sacrifice wrought by an appeal to arms. But, while our dread and hatred of war should Increase with every telling of the story which the day recalls, its proper observance should also ln crease our respect and devotion for these peace-loving men and women who, with great reluctance, dared to choose the strife of war' rather than the repose of dishonor; who hated war not less than we and whose love for peace was none the less, but who hated wrong and national disgrace more than they hated war, and who loved right and national honor more than an unstable and dishonorable peace. Therefore let no one think that these soldiers whose memory we honor lusted for the blood a-of their fellow men or took comfort in, the plunder of homes and the destruction of cities. They, far more vividly than we, saw the pity and the agony of it all, and, on battle - field and camping ground, longed anxiously for the dawn of peace. Thus, it is, that war may become its own worst enemy and its great soldiers our best heralds of peace. It was Ulysses S. Grant, the great soldier of the greatest war of all times, who wrote, Let us have peace. 'was this a chance sentence that dropped from his pen? Did the thought first occur to him after all opportunities for fighting were over? N o. It was his firm conviction, his heartfelt desire, born with him into the world, deepened by the dread and anxiety of every battle burned into his soul by the fire of conflict and slaughter. We are, therefore, most fortunate that In honoring him as a great soldier, we are also honoring him as a great prophet of peace. And In thus showing our respect for our great soldier and commander, we shall also show our respect to all those brave men whose. Courage and devotion made the name of Grant worthy of our honor.

Excerpt from Memorial Day: May Thirtieth, 1921 Here I am at that little spot I've come so many thousand miles to find, and if my letter is hard to read you'll understand, for the tears are streaming down my face, as I write in a strange mixture of emotions. I am Sitting at the foot of his little white cross, nicely painted. I've said my Rosary and strewed his sleeping place With poppies and a few other flowers. I've taken a picture of it for you, and Will take others during the next few days when I come It is very quiet here - nothing to be heard but the sound of the skylarks, and they sing all the time. The cemetery is on a little slope and stretches before me, row after row of little White crosses, with an American flag floating high over them all. It is lovely! There are flower beds on the Sides, but on the graves them selves there is only grass or cut flowers; so that all are alike. They face the East, these men of ours, and I can imagine how the early rays of the rising sun strike the shining faces of the crosses, and how at sunset the last beams throw the shadows of this symbol over the resting places of our lads, with the arms outstretched as if covering them forever and ever in peace. And I am so glad to be here. I just sat down on the earth at the foot of his grave, and I thought and thought. I am sad - I am happy I am rested - just being here, and you would be too. It was hard to part with him, so I am sad. But he died as a brave soldier should and as he would have chosen to go, and for the flag, so I'm glad. And in this beautiful, quiet spot, so calm, so peaceful, so pretty, the busy World seems far away, and its troubles and turmoil seem of little account, so I am rested and contented. Seeing this place as I do, I am more convinced than ever that Al would rather stay here, seemingly still in service with his men, row after row of them, the most striking monument we could ever erect to our beloved country, and the part she played in the war. On the right, as you approach the cemetery, runs a road; on the left is a lovely field of grain, and all around runs a border of poppies. I put some on his grave, and shall press one that nestled close to his little cross, as I took the picture. I did not look for any of the other graves today - this day was just Al's, but the next time I come I'll find the others and take pictures of them for their folks at home.

Robert E. Lee is well known as a Confederate general and as an educator later in life, but most people are exposed to the same handful of images of one of America’s most famous sons. It has been almost seven decades since anyone has attempted a serious study of Lee in photographs, and with Don Hopkins’s painstakingly researched and lavishly illustrated Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the wait is finally over. Dr. Hopkins, a Mississippi surgeon and lifelong student of the Civil War and Southern history with a recent interest in Robert E. Lee’s “from life” photographs, scoured manuscript repositories and private collections across the country to locate every known Lee image (61 in all) in existence today. The detailed text accompanying these images provides a sweeping history of Lee’s life and a compelling discussion of antique photography, with biographical sketches of all of Lee’s known photographers. The importance of information within the photographer’s imprint or backmark is emphasized throughout the book. Hopkins offers a substantial amount of previously unknown information about these images, how each came to be, and the mistakes in fact and attribution other authors and writers have made describing photographs of Lee to the reading public. Many of the images in this book are being published for the first time. In addition to a few rare photographs and formats that were uncovered during the research phase of Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the author offers—for the first time—definitive and conclusive attribution of the identity of the photographer of the well-known Lee “in the field” images, and reproduces a startling imperial-size photograph of Lee made by Alexander Gardner of Washington, D.C. Students of American history in general and the Civil War in particular, as well as collectors and dealers who deal with Civil War era photography, will find Hopkins’s outstanding Robert E. Lee in War and Peace a true contribution to the growing literature on the Civil War. About the Author: Born in the rural South, Donald A. Hopkins has maintained a fascination with Southern history since he was a child. In addition to published papers in the medical field, he has written several Civil War articles and The Little Jeff: The Jeff Davis Legion, Cavalry, Army of Northern Virginia for which he received the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. Dr. Hopkins served as Battalion Surgeon for the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, (better known as “The Walking Dead”) in Vietnam. He was awarded the purple heart and the Bronze Star with combat “V.” Dr. Hopkins is a surgeon in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he lives with his wife Cindy and their golden retriever Dixie.

This collection of essays looks at two important manifestations of postclassical narratology, namely transmedial narratology on the one hand, and unnatural narratology on the other. The articles deal with films, graphic novels, computer games, web series, the performing arts, journalism, reality games, music, musicals, and the representation of impossibilities. The essays demonstrate how new media and genres as well as unnatural narratives challenge classical forms of narration in ways that call for the development of analytical tools and modelling systems that move beyond classical structuralist narratology. The articles thus contribute to the further development of both transmedial and unnatural narrative theory, two of the most important manifestations of postclassical narratology.
