Traywick&#8217;s &#8211; Empire of the Owls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>H.V. Traywick Jr. graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1967 with a degree in civil engineering. He received a Regular Commission in the US Army Engineers and served as a Company Commander in Vietnam. Upon return to civilian life, H.V. worked as a commercial diver, trawler captain, and, for twenty-nine years, as a tugboat captain. He graduated from the University of Richmond with a Master of Liberal Arts degree in 2006 with a focus on \u201cInternational Studies \/ War and Cultural Revolution.\u201d Presently H.V. is semi-retired, reading, writing and serving part-time as a tugboat pilot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the middle of the nineteenth century steam power replaced muscle power as the prime mover of civilization, and the Industrial Revolution roared across the world. A new World-Cycle, the Machine Age, was born. But in the Southern United States men took up arms against the imperatives of the machine, and their Lost Cause marked the end of the Age of Agriculture. By the editing of contemporary diaries, letters, essays, newspaper editorials, memoirs, histories and official records, and the collation of them into a narrative form, this work attempts to paint a contemporaneous portrait of the storm-tossed Confederacy and the revolution that swept it away. The narrative is written in the spirit of a bard singing the Confederate Epic. As such, it offers a challenge to some long-cherished American myths, and &#8211; to a de jure federated Republic that is in the late stages of transformation into a de facto centralized Democracy &#8211; it speaks Truth to Power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<br \/>\nBOOK SIGNING on Saturday<br \/>\n\u2022<br \/>\nOctober 5, 2013, 11am -2pm<br \/>\n\u2022<br \/>\nBook, Beads and More<br \/>\n\u2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOOK SIGNING \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0 H.
