This work comprises a collection of the writings of Ruqaiya Hasan,
an influential figure in the systemic functional linguistic
learning school. It discusses the relation between text and context
and the realization of context in language; the 'network', which is
outlined as analytic tool which can be applied at two strata of
language, the lexico-grammatical and the semantic; as well as
aspects of the social structure that are implicated in the way
cultures and subcultures express themselves.
The America of the 1860s - a young nation at war within itself. As
young men rushed forward to fight, many to die and many more to be
wounded and maimed, a farming community in Western Pennsylvania
offered up its sons to form a light artillery battery in the
Pennsylvania Reserves. Among them were three brothers, one of whom
on arrival in Washington purchased a diary to record his
experiences in the first vital year of a war that defined a nation.
150 years later, that diary forms the basis of this story of the
war in the Eastern Zone, of the commanders, the battles, the wins
and losses. Most of all, it tells the tale of what became known and
has since been commemorated as Cooper's Battery B. And of the
""great Slaughter"" that engulfed them and those around them.
