Macon to Manassas a novel by John Wayne Dobson and Walter Kevin
Sark. It was edited by Edward DeVries. Kevin and John were born in
and are life-long residents of Macon, Georgia. Both have known The
Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior for much of their lives. They
are close friends and veteran re-enactors of The 16th GA, Co. G
Infantry Re-enactment Company, "The Jackson Rifles." The book was a
20-year labor of love dedicated to the Confederate companies that
were raised in the authors' native Macon. 23 Confederate combat
units were raised during the course of the War from Macon. At War's
end, there were not enough survivors to muster 7 companies. With so
many men from Macon giving their lives for "The Cause," the authors
wanted to write a novel that would not only be good reading, but
also tell the story of the brave and honorable men from Macon.
Those who survived the war, and those who did not.

Nearly a millennium before the Inca forged a pan-Andean empire in
the South American Andes, Tiwanaku emerged as a major center of
political, economic, and religious life on the mountainous southern
shores of Lake Titicaca. Tiwanaku influenced vast regions of the
Andes and became one of the most important and enduring
civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas. Yet for centuries, the
nature and antiquity of Tiwanaku remained a great mystery. Only
over the past couple of decades has archaeological research begun
to explore in depth the fascinating character of Tiwanaku culture
and the way of life of its people. Ancient Tiwanaku synthesizes a
wealth of past and current research on this fascinating
high-altitude civilization. In the first major synthesis on the
subject in nearly fifteen years, John Wayne Janusek explores
Tiwanaku civilization in its geographical and cultural setting,
tracing its long rise to power, vast geopolitical influences, and
violent collapse.

Thought by many to be director John Ford's masterpiece, 'The
Searchers' tells the story of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), an
ex-confederate soldier who swears revenge after his brother's
family is butchered by Comanches and his niece (Natalie Wood) is
kidnapped. Accompanied by Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), a young
foundling raised by the family, Ethan sets out on a epic seven-year
search for the missing girl. But as their quest draws to a close,
Martin begins to realise the extent to which Ethan has been
dehumanised by his own thirst for revenge.
John Wayne went against the tide of public opinion to both direct
and star in a war epic that seeks to justify America's involvement
in Vietnam. A commander (Wayne) is sent onto the battlefield to
lead a regiment on a mission to kidnap a Vietcong general. As
events unfold, a pacifist journalist (David Janssen) covering the
sorti is gradually persuaded to accept the justness of the war.
