Dr. Milburn Calhoun recently spoke to the Louisiana chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Part of the talk included a review of the book Weep Not for Me, Dear Mother (9781565543904, $14.95 pb), by Elizabeth Whitley Roberson. Roberson’s neighbor rescued a stack of aged letters from a pile of trash in Atlanta, Georgia. The letters were written by a young soldier, Eli Pinson Landers, during the Civil War. Landers wrote to his mother about his life in battles in Gettysburg, Manassas, Antietam, and Chickamauga. His letters are used in the audiotapes available at Antietam and First Manassas battlefields. |

the P-51C Mustang, the signature aircraft used by the Tuskegee Airmen who helped
change aviation history. Pelican has published two children’s books and one
adult book on the subject.
