For the past 20 years Howard Ray White has studied American political history in great depth with a particular focus on understanding the political causes of the horrific War Between the States, the political passions that sustained the fighting in spite of the death of 360,000 Federals and 260,000 Confederates, and the political passions that forced the political reconstruction of the conquered states. White's study has resulted in his amazing book series of four volumes, titled: "Bloodstains, An Epic History of the Politics that Produced and Sustained the American Civil War and the Political Reconstruction that Followed." White hosts a weekly public access television show in Charlotte, North Carolina, titled "True American History, 1763 to 1885." These are shown locally at 8pm every Tuesday. Many of the 180 episodes of this TV series can also be viewed on-line at vimeo.com/trueamericanhistory.

I have six wee bairns who are all seventh-generation Henry County, Tennessee, and all from the same doe. It is the people of Henry County that I most want to reach but I am writing to Southerners generally. I am without credentials but rather dare to speak by the same authority as the little boy who cried 'The king has no clothes!' My core belief and starting point is that like everything, we humans have a nature, it is not so hard to understand, and to pretend that it is other than it is, is to jump off a cliff. Which is what we Americans have in fact done.

Retired since 2014 from the 9-to-5 life, T. M. Brown, simply Mike to friends and family, embraces his Georgia heritage. He recalls his childhood when on many warm Sunday afternoons his father drove the family beyond Stone Mountain to his Great-Uncle’s farm on the then dust-filled, red clay back roads of Snellville, GA, Mike fondly recalls the bite of barb-wire pasture fences, sipping cool well-water from a ladle, and getting scrubbed in a washtub near the front stoop of Uncle Kerry’s and Aunt Monk’s old farmhouse. Today, Mike and his wife Connie live below Atlanta near Newnan, Georgia. He has published the three-book Shiloh Mystery Series: Sanctuary, A Legacy of Memories (Jan 2018); Testament, An Unexpected Return (March 2018); Purgatory, A Progeny's Quest (February 2022). His fourth book is a historical novel, The Last Laird of Sapelo, August 15, 2023 by Koehler Books. A common theme throughout all his stories stems from the truth his pop and poppa exemplified and taught him while growing up in Georgia and Florida. “The testament of a man lies not in the magnitude of possessions and property left to his heirs, but the reach of his legacy long after his death.” President, Hometown Novel Writers Association, Inc, Newnan, GA B. A. Theology/Church History, Baptist College of Florida

William was born in the last year of silver money. His ancestors go back to the beginning of time. He believes not in coincidences and small worlds but in miracles. He is the father of four and only regrets the children he didn't have. He knows in the end, "the truth will out" because his father told him so. Every story he has written is true, though truth may reside in the mind of a child being told a story by a great-grandparent who did not want the story to vanish. His favorite expression is, "Good does not need evil in order for good to survive, but evil must have good in order for evil to survive. Do not be the good enabling evil".
