Jefferson Davis: Unconquerable Heart (1999)
By Felicity Allen (University of Missouri Press)
This monumental interpretive biography is the story about Davis's life historians have hoped someone with insight would write. It casts new light upon this remarkable man, thawing the icy image of Davis created by those who hate the South. Felicity Allen shows a strong, yet gentle man; a heroic stern soldier who loved horses, guns, poetry, and children; a master of the English language, with a dry wit; a man of powerful feelings who held them in such tight control that he was considered by some as cold; and a home-loving Mississippian. Davis's Christian view of life runs like a thread throughout this book, binding together his devotion to God, his family and the land. 829 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B104HC, $35.00.

Is Davis a Traitor? Secession as a Constitutional Right Prior to the War of 1861 (1907)
By Albert Taylor Bledsoe (Crown Rights)
The subjugation of the Southern states, and their acceptance of the terms dictated by the United States, shifted the Federal Government as a servant of the states to the position of their master. American government founded on the basis of the "consent of the people" (government by consent) changed to government by conquest and marks the transition of the "republic" to the world's most powerful "empire." This work vindicates the loyalty of the South to the Constitution and defines the radical revolution imposed on them by the United States. Modern historians interpret history by the street bully's slogan, "Might makes right." This author shows us that right is right even when it is overcome by force and he helps the non-Southern understand that while the South surrender its arms, it did not surrender its belief in Constitutional liberty. The body of the South was defeated but not its soul. 271 pages ~ Paperback only, #B115PB, $12.00.

A Better Guide than Reason: Federalists
& Anti-Federalists (1979/1994)
By M.E. Bradford ~ With a new Introduction
By Russell Kirk (Transaction Publishers)
In this seminal volume, M.E. Bradford, focusing on the Declaration of Independence, shows that neither equality of condition nor full equality of individual rights for every inhabitant is foreseen by that document, only constitutional equality. The American Revolution was fought against concentrated power, and he asserts that the Declaration is violated whenever such powers are granted in its name. He is, indeed, as Russell Kirk writes, "a formidable and learned champion of the permanent things in our patrimony of culture and politics." Bradford was, until his death in 1993, Professor of Humanities at the University of Dallas in Texas. Russell Kirk, editor of the Library of Conservative Thought Series, authored thirty books in a variety of fields and has been a visiting distinguished professor on both sides of the Atlantic. 239 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B117HC, $34.95.

Soldier and Scholar: Basil Lanneau
Gildersleeve and the Civil War (1831-1924)
Edited by Ward W. Briggs, Jr. (1998)
(The University Press of Virginia)
Gildersleeve, journalist and one of America's greatest classical scholars, writes with passion, humour, reflection, and insight. Like every male member of his immediate family, including his father, he enlisted in the Confederate Army after Sumter, but continued to teach at the University of Virginia during the winters. This young intellectual and passionate Southern partisan found the war, with its attendant social and political issues, as stimulating as his beloved classics. Ward Briggs has assembled a great collection of Gildersleeve's writings: autobiographical essays, sixty-three editorials he wrote for the Richmond Examiner during the war, and a series of his reflections upon the causes and effects of Mr. Lincoln's War thirty years later. Ward W. Briggs Jr. is Carolina Professor of Classics and Louise Scudder Professor of Humanities at the University of South Carolina. 444 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B119HC, $49.95.

A Disquisition on Government (1849)
By John C. Calhoun
(Virginia Heritage Press)
Of all John C. Calhoun's works, none has been more widely read or cited than this posthumous work that marked the culmination of Calhoun's reflections and thought after forty years of public service. Within the confines of this short, theoretical text, Calhoun offers an analysis of the foundation of constitutional government in America based on the doctrine of concurrent majority that guarantees every significant interest in the community a concurrent voice either in the enactment or in the enforcement of public policy. This concurrent majority not only serves as a necessary check on the dictates of the numerical majority, but is also the protective and negative principle that distinguishes constitutional from absolute governments. 75 pages ~ Over-sized loose-leaf bound only, #B120LL, $8.00.

The Papers of John C. Calhoun Vol. XXV 1847-1848
Edited by Clyde N. Wilson
(University of South Carolina: 1999)
This volume cover Calhoun's three primary concern in 1848:the infatuation of some of his countrymen with war and imperial conquest;
the evils of the noisy and aggressive but principleless party system; and
the apparent determination of the Northern majority to deny the South the
benefits of the Union and reduce it to a beleaguered and exploited minority.
For him these issues were but results of one fundamental problem-a people
who had forgotten the virtues of their fathers that were necessary for the
preservation of republicans institutions. This contains some of the most
insightful passages of Calhoun. xix plus 715 pages ~ Hardcover only,

Tensions over efforts to bar slave property from the
Territories of the Union reached arresting levels in this last period of
Calhoun's life for he would only live two more years. One of the most
arresting events, then and later, was Calhoun's forthright confrontation of
the doctrine that "all men are created equal." He declared that this idea
as then understood was both untrue and mischievous. This volume gives hjs
insightful explanation. xvi plus 578 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B263HC,

Calhoun and Popular Rules: The Political Theory of the Disquisition and Discourse (2001)
By H. Lee Cheek (University of Missouri Press)
Clyde N. Wilson calls this work "definitive." Many of Calhoun's critics try to discredit him as merely a Southern partisan whose ideas were obsolete even during his lifetime. Cheek attempts to correct such misconceptions by presenting Calhoun as an original thinker who devoted his life to the recovery of a "proper mode of popular rule." He argues that Calhoun had a coherent, systematic view of human nature and society and made a lasting contribution to the theory of constitutionalism and democracy. H. Lee Cheek, Jr. is Professor of Political Science at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. 214 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B124HC, $29.95.

The Prison Life of Jefferson Davis (1866)
By John J. Craven (Crown Rights)
The leaders of the victorious United States, inflamed by sectional prejudices, blamed Jefferson Davis for the conditions at Andersonville Prison, the murder of Abraham Lincoln, who the north did not love until he was dead, and the bloodshed brought by they called "The War of the Rebellion."
Upon his capture in May 1865, President Davis was sent to Fortress Monroe where he endured two years of solitary confinement, suffering brutal treatment at the hands of his countries conquerors as he awaited a trail that never came because the United States could not permit its unconstitutional actions to be tested in a federal court. John J. Craven, a northern man of obvious northern sympathies, was the personal physician to Davis for seven months of his imprisonment. He describes as few others could, the proud Southerner and noble Christian gentleman who was the first President of the Confederate States of America. 378 pages ~ Paperback only, #B128PB, $15.00.

Jefferson Davis: The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government ~ Volumes I & II
By Jefferson Davis 1808-1889 (1881/1990)
New Foreward by James M. McPherson (Da Capo Press)
This is the full-text unabridged republication of President Jefferson Davis' monumental, most thorough and earnest justification of the Confederacy, containing many valuable documents.

The French and American Revolutions Compared
By Friedrich Gentz (1800) (Virginia Heritage Press)
Translated by John Quincy Adams
This essay was important to Americans for two reasons: first, it contains the clearest account of the rise and progress of the revolutions which established their independence, that has ever appeared within so small a compass; and secondly, because it rescues that revolution from the disgraceful imputation of having proceeded from the same egalitarian principles as that of France. Mr. Gentz, one of the most distinguished writers in Germany, published this essay in the highly respected Historic Journal published in Berlin. It was translated for Americans by John Quincy Adams, President of the United States. 95 pages ~ Over-sized loose-leaf bound, #B146LL, $6.00.

The Life of Robert E. Lee For Young Gentlemen
By J.G. de Roulhac Hamilton & Mary T. Hamilton (1917)
(Virginia Gentlemen Books)
Heroes, particularly important to young men, may serve as a moral compass in an aimless world that no longer has firm landmarks that challenge manhood, respect, and courage. The current generation has values, that is, knows the price of everything and the true value of nothing. The life of Robert E. Lee helps us understand Proverbs 22:28 that says "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." This book points to the theme of Lee's life which is often stated as "Do you your duty in all things … You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less." J.G. de Roulhac Hamilton was Chairman of the History Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 223 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B151HC, $21.00.

Forgotten Founding Father:
The Heroic Legacy of
George Whitefield
By Stephen Mansfield
(Cumberland House: 2001)
As a student at Oxford, Whitefield experienced a spiritual awakening under the influence of John Wesley's Methodists and began tending
to prisoners, caring for the poor, and preaching the gospel. He met with
astonishing success and spoke to the largest gatherings in the history of
England. His impact on the colonies may be his most lasting achievement.
His preaching from Georgia to Maine was instrumental in the Great Awakening
of the 1700's, and when he learned that England intended to tighten her
control over the colonies, he warned his American friends in sermon after
sermon, even accompanying Benjamin Franklin on his travels to make the
American case in the Court of King James. 283 pages ~ Hardcover only,

A View of the Constitution of the United States of America (1829/1998)
By William Rawle, LL.D. (Crown Rights)
William Rawle, a Philadelphia lawyer and staunch Federalist, considered this excellent treatise on the federal Constitution an "elementary treatise" for "the American Student." The organised principles remained "unaltered" as it was used to teach cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point as well as the critical text in most schools. The federal government endorsed this book as representing the right of the people "to determine how they will governed." It accurately represents the intent of the framers but is not recognised by today's reconstructionist. 344 pages ~ Paperback only, #B193PB, $13.00.

Arator (1818/1987)
By John Taylor of Caroline (Liberty Fund)
Edited and with an Introduction by M.E. Bradford
This discussion of the social order of an agricultural republic is Taylor's most popular and influential work. James A. Beard says of this work, "It deserves to rank among the two or three really historic contributions to political science in the United States." Both statesman and farmer, Taylor is most often considered the deepest thinker of all the early Americans. It is unlikely that many of the contemporary inheritors of the United States Constitution would recognise the original form and function of their country as the federal union their fathers made. John Taylor, a true Virginia/American prophet, foresaw most of the changes that have come to pass, understood their causes, and fought them with all the energy and intellect at his command. 426 pages ~ Hardcover, #B205HC, $18.00

Views of the Constitution Of the United States By John Taylor
of Caroline, Virginia Regnery Publishing, Inc. (1823/2000)
The following quote best depicts the views of Taylor: “Sovereignty
is the highest degree of political power, and the establishment
of a form of government, the highest proof which can be
given of its existence. The states could not have reserved
any rights by the articles of their union, if they had not
been sovereign, because they could have no rights, unless
they flowed from that source. In the creation of the federal
government, the states exercised the highest act of sovereignty,
and they may, if they please, repeat the proof of the sovereignty,
by its annihilation. But the union possesses no innate sovereignty,
like the states; it was not self-constituted; it is conventional,
and of course subordinate to the sovereignties by which
it was formed.” Taylor’s writings should be the
starting point and the greatest defining position for any
serious student seeking to understand the uniqueness of
what our founders intended for the future of the American
states. lxix plus 415 pages ~ Hardcover only, #B324HC, $34.95.

Tyranny Unmasked (1822/1992)
By John Taylor of Caroline (Liberty Fund)

When John Taylor supported James Monroe for president, he informed the candidate that upon taking office he would find his old friend in opposition. He made the frequent inquiring into the measures of government his life's work. He wrote this book to fulfill that task. He and other Old Republicans believed that, without their vigilant watch over the federal government on behalf of the people, individual liberty would soon be sacrificed. F.
