With time spent in the south and new western frontier, Sherman witnessed and participated in events of early nineteenth-century America: the Mexican War, the gold rush, the banking panics, and the battles with the Plains Indians. Yet it wasn’t until his victory at Shiloh, in 1862, that Sherman assumed his legendary place in American history. After Shiloh, Sherman sacked Atlanta and proceeded to burn a trail of destruction that split the Confederacy and ended the war. His strategy forever changed the nature of warfare and earned him eternal infamy throughout the South. Sherman’s Memoirs became one of the best-known, first-hand accounts of the Civil War.
Vintage Civil War Era Field Glasses by Queen & Co.
Consider gifting an original pair of Civil War-era field glasses. A Civil War officer or soldier would have used binoculars like these to sight locations and keep track of troop movements during battle. When not in use, they would have carried the glasses in the hard leather case. These glasses, an intricate example of brass and glass technology, were made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the company Queen & Co.
The Second World War by Winston Churchill, First Edition, Six Volume Set, 1948-1954
The Second World War is a definitive history of the period from the end of the first World War to July 1945 and was largely responsible for Churchill being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. Churchill wrote the book, with a team of assistants, using both his own notes and privileged access to official documents while still working as a politician. Churchill was largely fair in his treatment, but wrote the history from his personal point of view. This is a fascinating read and a perfect gift for any WWII history buff!
This one-of-a-kind framed collage features the signatures of some of the greatest Air Force captains in history: Claire Chennault, Henry “Hap” Arnold, Hoyt Vandenberg, Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, William “Billy” Mitchell, and Edward “Eddie” Rickenbacker. Each captain was involved in WWI or WWII, some were aces who proved the usability and effectiveness of airpower, and others were brilliant leaders who paved the way for U.S. victories and the development of the U.S. Air Force.
