Book Synopsis The Final Reveille by : Amanda Flower

Download or read book The Final Reveille written by Amanda Flower. This book was released on 2015-05-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the director of Barton Farm, a living history museum, Kelsey Cambridge is underpaid and underappreciated, but she loves every minute of it. Determined to keep the struggling museum open, she plans to impress Barton Farm's wealthy benefactress, Cynthia Cherry, with a Civil War reenactment on the farm's grounds. Unfortunately, the first shot in the battle isn't from a period soldier. It's from Cynthia's greedy nephew, Maxwell, who fires a threat at Kelsey to cut the museum's funding. The next morning, things go from bad to worse when Kelsey discovers Maxwell dead. Now Kelsey is the number one suspect, and she must start her own investigation to save Barton Farm...and herself. Praise: "History and Civil War buffs will enjoy the historical details woven through the mystery, and Kelsey and the secondary characters are well drawn and sympathetic. This one will appeal to readers who enjoy contemporary cozies with a history frame."—Booklist "Very well written...with great characterization, history, plot, and humor galore. A definite 5-star."—Suspense Magazine "Flower combines a plethora of suspects, a soupçon of history, and a dash of romance."—Kirkus Reviews "Flower peppers [The Final Reveille] with enough historical detail and snarky one-liners to make readers intrigued to see what she'll do next."—Library Journal "A thoroughly enjoyable mystery with history, humor, and heart!"—Krista Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Domestic Diva Mystery Series "A spunky heroine in a fast-paced mystery...what a fun book to read!"—Mary Ellis, author of The Civil War Heroines Series

Book Synopsis Living History by : David B. Allison

Download or read book Living History written by David B. Allison. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living history museums are cultural institutions that merge historical exhibits with live costumed performance. While unique and vitally important, they often compromise historical accuracy and authenticity for the sake of tourism and entertainment value. Many also pursue methods of performance and historiography that are becoming increasingly outdated. Living History Museums: Undoing History Through Performance examines the performance practices used by institutions such as Plimoth Plantation and Colonial Williamsburg, and offers a new genealogy of living history museum performance in the U.S. and Europe. Currently, existing scholarship on living history museums addresses the subject from a museum-studies or anthropology perspective. Author Scott Magelssen, however, approaches the material from a background in theatre history and theory, analyzing living history museums using postmodern methodology. Considering performance as a method for the study of history and exploring emergent non-traditional theatrical practices, the book offers suggestions for performance in an increasingly postmodern landscape. Concluding with an international listing of living history institutions and a complete list of sources, Living History Museums is a valuable resource for students and teachers of theatre and performance studies, cultural studies, folklore, popular culture, American studies, and museum studies.
