"The Gray Ghost: Colonel John S. Mosby"
During the American Civil War, perhaps no other soldier approached the actions of Colonel John Singleton Mosby. This daring partisan ranger led his small body of troops on several raids, capturing Federal troops, destroying supplies, and drawing the attention of thousands of Northern soldiers needed elsewhere. This course will explore the life and exploits of the leader of the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry.

Faces of "America s Greatest Generations" Since 1776
The "American Experience," sometimes called the "American Dream" rises from the ashes of war again and again since the founding of the American Nation in the late 18th century. In the 19th century the term "Manifest Destiny" exploded to the forefront of the explanations and justifications for frontier "pioneers" to patriotically fill in all the land between both oceans no matter the personal sacrifice. The 20th century, pockmarked with a new form of poverty and massive systems failure, resonates to this day with the hopes and achievements of successfully "Making the World Safe for Democracy." Our 21st century mantras have often clustered around themes of multiple faces of "Keep America Great"...students will leave this course knowing why. Recommended books-Plunkitt of Tammany Hall: A Series of Very Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics (Signet Classics) by William L. Riordan, Peter Quinn, and Philip Freeman. The Assault of Reason by Al Gore.

From the Distaff Side: The Wives and Mothers of our Presidents since 1789
For the most part, the wives and mothers of our American Presidents have remained shadowy background figures with a few notable exceptions. Who hasn't heard of Abigail Adams, Mary Todd Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Roselyn Carter and Barbara Bush? In this class, we will learn about the lives of the mothers and wives of all the men elected president of the United States. Did their mothers shape the future presidents character and values? Did their wives further influence their political careers in a positive way? Or, did their mothers and wives have a negative impact on their lives and careers? By the end of the course, we should be able to answer these questions, or at least have some ideas about these presidential relationships.

How Minor Wars Influenced the History of the World
No war is ever minor, but in the modern era, there have been a handful of conflicts that engaged a relatively small number of people, but had a lasting impact on political ideology, religious beliefs and of course weapons technology. In the 19th century, the Crimean war and the Russo-Japanese War fall into this category as do the Balkan conflicts of 1912 and the Spanish Civil War, the Bolshevik Revolution, World War I and II and even the Arab-Israeli Wars, these smaller engagements had an insidious impact far beyond their initial scope. In this class, we will delve into the roots and results of these small scale conflicts to determine how each of them brought substantial change to the world.
