单 炜博 a9255343699266 — I think all women should read this. It's a great source of perspective right up there with Jean Kilbourne's lectures!

Scott Brown 9designstreet — I grew up visiting this wonderful community. Can't wait to read this book!

David Ball davidballdesign_pc — Kind of cute, not really a mystery, even though it's located in the mystery section

Anastasia Vuorinen anastasiavuorinen — The more I read books of this nature, the more I realize how little I know about the phenomenally varied history of this nation. I suspect the majority of you are far less deficient when it comes to your knowledge of history. That said, I have to tell you that this book fascinated me. Think of Mexico, and your first thoughts probably include the idea that a heck of a lot of people want out of there these days—legally or otherwise. I was fascinated to read that at the end of the Civil War, there were a significant number of confederate soldiers who refused to believe that they were defeated and who made the choice to enter Mexico as a result. This book details the migration of between four thousand and five thousand Americans into Mexico at the end of the Civil War. Days prior to his death, Mr. Lincoln apparently expressed concern over the possibility of Americans emigrating to Mexico, pointing out that he was perfectly fine with them leaving the country, but suggesting that he wanted to make darn sure they actually got there and stayed or something along those lines. This book details the exodus of several groups of disillusioned soldiers and their families, and it covers the establishment of several colonies in Mexico. You’ll read about the deceptions and treacheries of the puppet French emperor of Mexico, Maximilian, and his willingness to invite the Americans into Mexico, but then to never really allow them to assimilate into the country and culture. Of course, he had problems simply holding onto his throne, and he would eventually be deposed, which caused even greater problems for the Americans, who were thought to be friends of his. In fact, none of the confederate colonies established thrived; there’s nothing left of them today. There were a few citizens who stayed and eked out a living somehow, but predominantly, the bitter defeated exiles ultimately realized that they were better off to come home under even the worst of circumstances such as imprisonment than to stay in a country where they weren’t ultimately wanted, where they were considered occupiers and invaders, and where the weather didn’t generally cooperate with their ability to grow the crops they were used to growing as sons of the South. This is a highly readable little history, and it helped me better understand the mindset of the defeated confederate soldier—especially those more militant ones who would rather bake and toil in a land whose language and culture they didn’t understand than to deal with the vanquished and conquered communities they left with such promise at the beginning of the conflict.
