During the last year of the Civil War, the Eighth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment traveled more miles and served under more extreme conditions than any other unit in the Union Army. From the Yellowstone River all the way to North Carolina, the soldiers endured dehydration, hunger, and exhausting marches, often while exposed to scorching heat or bitter cold. They fought against foes led by Sitting Bull and General Nathan Bedford Forest, but came away victorious each time. Drawn from among the first settlers of the newly-formed state of Minnesota, the soldiers from Company E, the focus of this book, were tough frontiersmen and also proud patriots who enlisted with the determination to be good soldiers in service of their country. Fiercely independent, the men had little patience for bureaucracy and despised injustice. When unfairly treated, they didn't just grin and bear it--they actively rebelled, sometimes with humorous results. Meticulously researched, Sherman's Woodticks for the first time brings together the full story of the men of the Eighth Minnesota Volunteers who gave up so much for their country, from their enlistment in 1862 until they mustered out in 1865.

Power seeks first it's own survival. The Nasha-sheen had been in hiding since the fall of the great Yucatan cities. No longer a part of the Mayan Civilization, their isolation insulated the Nasha-sheen from the aparant demise of those pyramid builders. In the next milennium, these hidden people studied, watched, and prepared themselves for the coming of the next great leader in power, one who might solve the problems humankind was creating for the rest of the world. The Nasha-sheen watched as their world diminished and other civilizations flooded the wild places, bringing wars and destruction, and they hoped for the change a new leader would bring. Yet they worried. Power was always a threat. Always. And the power within a great leader, a Somi, could rival all the destructiveness all the rest of humanity could conjure with their hatred, violence, and bombs. Somi might be salvation, but Somi could also be the greatest threat of all.
