A
Message To Garcia; The Complete Story
(Facsimile Edition)
A Message to Garcia has become one of the most
popular stories in the
world. Following
Lt. Col. Andrew S. Rowan's incredible mission to carry
a secret message to Cuban General
Calixto Garcia at the start of the
Spanish-American war in 1898, Elbert Hubbard wrote an
essay about
Rowan's adventure into Cuba. Hubbard's
original book is reproduced in an
exact facsimile in this volume as well as
Rowan's 1898 magazine article and 1922 book
re-telling of his journey.

Bushwhacker; A True Story of
Bill Wilson,
Missouri's Most Famous Desperado.
The story of Bill Wilson has been told and re-told throughout the
Ozarks Mountains
since he began his bloody career in 1861. He is a true
folk hero from the time when
the Ozarks were full of men who took to
the bush and waged war on the Yankees
who had invaded their state. In
the summer of 1861, Bill was accused of stealing
horses from the Union.
He was questioned and released, but a few days later, while
he was away
from home, a group of Yankees, Red Legs, and
Jawhawkers ejected
his
family from his house, stole everything worth
stealing, and burned the
house,
barn, and outbuildings. From that day forward, Bill became a
one-man army intent
on killing every Yankee, or Yankee sympathizer, he
could find. He became one of
the best known Bushwhackers in Missouri,
along with men like Sam
Hildebrand,
another Missouri Bushwhacker
legend.After the war ended, with a $300 bounty on
his head, Bill left Missouri. As did many
ex-Confederates, he took off for Texas.
The end of the Bill Wilson story is said to have
come in Sherman, Texas. Two of
his ex-comrades, former Missouri Partisan Rangers, apparently got the
drop on him
and murdered him for the cash he was carrying.
The men,
William O. Blackmore
and John Thompson, were apprehended, tried, and
convicted of the murder. They
were hanged on March 26, 1869 in Sherman,
Texas at 1:00 p.m.

General Walton H. Walker;
The Man Who Saved Korea.
This biography of General Walton H. Walker
details the debacle of the

how the United States managed to lose that war. It shows
how General Walker was used
as a scapegoat to hide the ineptitude and
incompetence of General MacArthur and his
lapdog General "Ned" Almond.
Following WWII, American political and military leaders
arrogantly assumed the United States was
invincible and no one would dare to oppose a
nation with the atomic bomb. This book tells the
sordid story of the political hubris and
military incompetence that caused the U.S. defeat.

Hildebrand; Missouri's Most Dangerous Bushwhacker.
Hildebrand;
Missouri's Most Dangerous Bushwhacker comes in three
parts. Part One
is an Introduction by
Charles M. Province. Part
Two is a reprint of the Autobiography
or
“confession” of Samuel S. Hildebrand as compiled,
written,and published by James
W. Evans and A. Wendell Keith. Because Sam was
illiterate, he narrated his book to
Evans and Keith who transcribed and compiled
the stories for publication. Part Three
is a
facsimile reproduction of an extremely rare DeWitt Dime
Novel published in New
York City in 1869. It's a Ten Cent
Romance by Col. Cris Forrest. The story is told
out
of chronological order, confuses many details of Sam's life,
and the
“romance” is quite
absurd, but such was the case during
the wild west
era. Publishers were more concerned
with
selling a cracking good yarn than they were with telling the truth.

Colonel Odom became a close and
personal friend of General Patton. He was
involved in all of the day-to-day operations of
the highest levels of
General Patton's commands throughout the
war. His reminiscences
reflect his
friendship with Patton and his involvement in the creation of the
Medical System
that saved thousands of lives during the war. Colonel
Odom was the most decorated doctor
in the European Theater of
Operations and he won the Purple Heart for being wounded by
a sniper's
bullet during the battle of the Falaise Gap in 1944.

In 1937, while stationed with the 4th
Marines in China, Lieutenant Victor H.
Krulak wrote
a specialized report on the types of landing
craft used by the
Japanese during their invasion
of Shanghai. It was this report that
prompted the Marine Corps Commandant to appoint Krulak

Man. Krulak subsequently worked
closely with Andrew Higgins to
design The Higgins
Boat, which made it possible for U.S.
military amphibious landings all over
the world during World War II.

Patton's One-Minute Messages;
Tactical Leadership Skills For Business Management.
This collection of General Patton's
"one liners" shows how business
managers can
succeed by applying combat tested principles of
one of
American's greatest military
leaders. General Patton was a
professional
soldier who spent his
life inspiring
people to accompllish the
seemingly impossible. Now business
managers can use
his secrets to
motivate employees. The author uses
brief quotes from the General
to explain their inner philosophy and to obtain greater
performance and productivity
from employees. The book also
presents references to W. Edwards
Deming and
Walter A. Shewhart, two American experts
on statistical quality control. This
is not
surprising when it is realized that fundamental principles of
both military leadership
and business management are universal.

heart of Europe. During
this time it engaged in every
type of combat
except defensive.
This fine-grained
study chronicles the day-by-day
situations which developed and the tactics applied for
their successful
solution. Amidst the chaos of
war, the story told here reveals the
unflagging energy of experienced staff, the
sterling ability of the
commanders in the
field, and the fighting heart of the
American soldier. The author, Charles M. Province,
is president and
founder of The George
S. Patton, Jr. Historical Society and the author
of The Unknown
Patton and Patton's
One-Minute Messages.

Steeds Christie

Caused a Big Kerfuffle

published. Charles M. Province offers the complete
story about the reviews

complaints from all of the military
"experts" along with his small involvement in the
