THE BATTLE OF NASHVILLE RECOLLECTIONS OF CONFEDERATE & UNION SOLDIERS 150 pages, beautifully designed By Lochlainn SeabrookThe consequences of the Battle of Nashville, which took place December 15-16, 1864, are still being debated, but one thing is certain: the Union victory there marked a major turning point in the War of 1861. After losing three battles in a row, including Spring Hill (November 29) and Franklin (November 30), Confederate General John Bell Hood and his troops were forced to flee southward, leaving the all-important region of Middle Tennessee largely under Union control. Confederate power in the Western Theater had been vanquished, for as Yankees loudly and proudly proclaimed, they had "crushed the backbone of the rebellion," a victory that helped lead to Lee's surrender at Appomattox just a few months later. There are serious problems with this simplistic view, however. The Union win at Nashville was not "a remarkable display of Northern military skill," nor was the Confederate… Read More

By Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook 150 pages Yankees claimed they won the Battle of Franklin; the Confederates believed they were the victors. Each side displayed courage (and in some cases cowardice) amid appalling slaughter, while employing outstanding tactical maneuvers and committing elementary strategical errors. These facts raise important questions.Why, for example, did Union General Wagner disobey orders at a crucial point in the battle, and why did Confederate General Hood place his most brilliant fighter, Nathan Bedford Forrest, on the far right where he knew he would have almost no impact? Why did Union General Schofield callously leave his dead and wounded on the battlefield the following day, and why, strangely, did General Hood attempt to renew the battle on the morning of December 1? Why did Federal soldiers wantonly shoot down and kill Confederate General John Adams when they could have easily captured him instead, and why at Franklin was the casualty rate for Confederate officers and… Read More

Britannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic SocietyBy Lochlainn Seabrook 202 page paperbackBritannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society, by award-winning author and historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, is a unique and captivating book that celebrates a seldom discussed, yet long and noble English, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish tradition; one that dates back to the earliest inhabitants of the British Isles: female-based religion.
In this fascinating work Colonel Seabrook overturns the long-standing notion that the first Britons and Celts were "patriarchal" and that they worshiped a male "Heavenly Father." Using the latest archaeological, anthropological, etymological, onomastic, historical, and mythological evidence, he shows that both the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts were matriarchal peoples who venerated the Supreme Being in female form.
This "Heavenly Mother" of the early Celto-Britons was none other than the universal "Great Goddess," venerated around the ancient world… Read More
