The struggle for control of the Mississippi River was the longest and most complex campaign of the Civil War. It was marked by an extraordinary diversity of military and naval operations, including fleet engagements, cavalry raids, amphibious landings, pitched battles, and the two longest sieges in American history. Every existing type of naval vessel, from sailing ship to armored ram, played a role, and military engineers practiced their art on a scale never before witnessed in modern warfare. Union commanders such as Grant, Sherman, Farragut, and Porter demonstrated the skills that would take them to the highest levels of command. When the immense contest finally reached its climax at Vicksburg and Port Hudson in the summer of 1863, the Confederacy suffered a blow from which it never recovered. Here was the true turning point of the Civil War. This fast-paced, gripping narrative of the Civil War struggle for the Mississippi River is the first comprehensive single-volume account to appear in over a century. Vicksburg Is the Key: The Struggle for the Mississippi River tells the story of the series of campaigns the Union conducted on land and water to conquer Vicksburg and of the many efforts by the Confederates to break the siege of the fortress. William L. Shea and Terrence J. Winschel present the unfolding drama of the campaign in a clear and readable style, correct historic myths along the way, and examine the profound strategic effects of the eventual Union victory. William L. Shea is a professor of history at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. He is the coauthor of Pea Ridge: Civil War Campaign in the West. Terrence J. Winschel is a historian at Vicksburg National Military Park. His books include Triumph and Defeat: The Vicksburg Campaign.Binding Type: Paperback

Anxiety Relief for Elderly Dog
Pattern Name: Heartbeat Sheep Grey, Pattern Name: Heartbeat Sheep Grey
My son and daughter-in-law's 13 year old Chihuahua has been suffering from separation anxiety, and just general anxiety during the covid19 lockdown. While she's in dental school, he's been living with us full time, and she was living at school during the week and with us on weekends. But with campus closed down, there's full-time school anxiety from doggie Mom, and going to work in a plague anxiety from doggie Dad. And nobody has much time for poor stressed out doggie, who barks and whines and is generally unpleasant. The only thing that seems to calm him down is to hold him. All. Day. Long. None of us has time.
I decided to see if what works for puppies might work for an old man dog too. Guess what, it does! I started by holding the dog and the lamb on my lap for an evening while watching TV. The next morning I put the lamb in a bed next to my computer while I worked, and he climbed into the bed himself. He never would have done that before! You can't see the lamb in the picture, it's tucked under the canopy. The heartbeat is very relaxing- you do hear it, but it's more like you feel it than hear it, really. I have to admit that the first night when I was holding him, the heartbeat put me to sleep too. When my daughter-in-law came down for lunch, she took dog and lamb back up with her, and he slept with the lamb all afternoon and let her study without interruption.
I don't know how long the batteries will last, or how hard they will be to change, but so far this has been a real comfort to an anxious old man dog.
ETA- I've ordered batteries (40 for $6.99), and I may order another lamb for upstairs so we don't have to remember whether it's on Mom & Dad's or Grandma's floor. He's a much happier dog.

Puppy

Simply the best! These hold up and are a puppy favorite!
They did change the heartbeat sound and it is a bit much for the newborn puppies.

Pillow is Unsafe
My eleven month old Cavalier, Lacey, loved this heartbeat pillow for about two hours. She carried it everywhere. Then she located the velcro opening. She ripped it open, pulled out the stuffing. I stuffed the heart in the bottom but I cannot locate it in the pillow nor have I found it anywhere in my home. Velcro closure is not enough to keep a curious puppy from figuring out how to open the pillow.
Would I recommend this product: No I do not recommend this item. It was a total waste of my hard earned $. The closure needs to be reworked/improved. As it is now, do not leave your puppy alone with this heartbeat pillow because it is not safe!
The only positive is it kept Lacey from barking for two hours while she played with it. I cannot attest that it would have helped her severe separation anxiety and yelping every time I leave the house.

my dogs love these! their new constant companions!
When I first opened the box and saw these three octopuses, I thought they looked a little anemic, but looks can definitely be deceiving because my dogs love them.
We try to be really careful about the toys we buy because one of my dogs swallowed a squeaker in the past and had to have surgery. Ever since then, we've been really mindful about what toys they have and making sure we're watching them when they play.
I have to say these have been great. My dogs carry them everywhere. They take them outside, bring them back inside, and I've had to wash them multiple times because they are so loved and so well used. For some reason, my dog who is a constant chewer and destroyer of toys has not chewed through these. They feel relatively tough, especially considering how lightweight they are. They do have a squeaker inside, but they also have something crinkly in them that makes noise when the dogs are running around and playing with them. My dogs seem to love that. My dogs also look super cute running around with the octopus legs hanging out of their mouths. Fun product!
