Charles Middleton (1726-1813) ruled the British naval shore
establishement for a dozen years of war and peace. As Controller of
the Navy, he animated the vital link between policy-makers in
Whitehall and commanders at sea. Appointed in 1778 in the midst of
the American War of Independence, he stayed on in peacetime to
prepare the navy for the even greater emergencies of the French
revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.

A short visit to his hometown of Purdy, Tennessee rekindled the
interest of native son and former Confederate Brigadier General
Marcus J. Wright in the history and people of McNairy County,
Tennessee. With the help of many old friends, he compiled their
collective memories into a short publication published in 1882. It
was one of the earliest published county histories in West
Tennessee. BrayBree Publishing is proud to present this special
Vintage Edition of Wright's county history. In addition to an
authentic reproduction of the original book, it also includes a
biographical sketch of the author, new illustrations, an expanded
index, and Wright's own memoirs, which have never been published.
Located east of the village of Finger in north McNairy County,
Tennessee, Mount Carmel Cemetery is one of the oldest burying
grounds in the county. It was on this hill that Matthew Ward and
his wife Ester first settled in the early 1820s and where the first
white child in McNairy County, Hugh Kerby, was born. A cemetery and
house of worship were established in the years following. "In this
cemetery," noted one twentieth-century writer, "sleep the ashes of
the early pioneers and settlers of that section" of McNairy County.
A SACRED HIGH PLACE shares the history of the cemetery and
meetinghouse along with biographical sketches and photographs of
several interesting persons buried there. It also includes an
updated census of the cemetery that will be useful to descendants
and family researchers.
Europe: 1945 to the Present examines the tumultuous history of
Europe from the end of World War II through the present. Beginning
with the post-war scene, and ending with a discussion of the
European Union and its current plans for expansion, the narrative
takes students through the past sixty years in a thoughtful,
well-organized way. The book covers the Cold War, decolonization,
and major developments in the arts and sciences, as well as
Europe's reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, and such episodes of terrorism as the Madrid
bombings of 2004. Written in a clear, well-paced style, Europe:
1945 to the Present features primary source text boxes, a
chronology, a list of supplemental readings, and numerous
illustrations and maps. It is ideal for undergraduate courses on
the history of Europe since 1945.
