War of Words: Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War Press by Harry J. Maihafer, ISBN 1574883054
A shrewd politician, Abraham Lincoln recognized the power of the press. He knew that, at most, a few thousand people might hear one of his speeches in person, but countless readers across the nation would absorb his message through newspapers. While he was always under fire by some hostile portion of the openly partisan nineteenth-century media, through the careful cultivation of relationships Lincoln successfully wooed numerous prominent newspapermen into aiding his agenda. Whether he was editing his own speech in a newspaper office or inviting reporters to the White House to leak a story, the President skillfully steered the Union through the perils of war by playing his own version of the public relations game.

A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America
The relationship between American Indians and Europeans on America's frontiers is typically characterized as a series of cultural conflicts and misunderstandings based on a vast gulf of difference. Nancy Shoemaker turns this notion on its head, showing that Indians and Europeans shared common beliefs about their most fundamental realities--government, record-keeping, international alliances, gender, and the human body. Focusing on eastern North American up through the end of the Seven Years War, Shoemaker closely reads incidents, letters, and recorded speeches from the Iroquois and Creek confederacies, the Cherokee nation, and other Native groups alongside British, French, and Spanish sources, paying particular attention to the language used in cross-cultural conversation. Paradoxically, the more American Indians and Europeans came to know each other, the more they came to see each other as different. By the end of the 18th century, Shoemaker argues, they abandoned an initial willingness...

Murder (a Violet)
"Mysterious and enticing, "Murder (A Violet) is a brilliant narrative.

Raymond McDaniel grew up in Florida and now lives in Ann Arbor where he writes for the "Constant Critic, teaches at the University of Michigan and hosts the reading series at Shaman Drum Bookshop.
