SUMMARY:Sherman's March To The Sea - Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Sherman’s March To The Sea – Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion\n No military action in the bloody Civil War was probably more controversial than Sherman’s March To The Sea. After the War\, traitors who were inclined to respect Grant and revere Lincoln were unreconstructed in their hatred of William T. Sherman. Why? The brutal\, unprecedented destruction of enormous swaths of the South hastened the end of the War and sped the end of the barbarous\,immoral and inhumane practice of the enslavement\, rape and murder of the descendants of kidnap victims. Sherman hastened the demise of that unspeakable activity. However the utter desolation of the lives and lands of so many White Southerners had a long-lasting impact on race relations and politics.  \nSherman was a complex man\, brilliant and fragile\, harsh and yet sentimental. His troops adored him\, leaders of the terrorist rebellion feared him and Abraham Lincoln recognized his invaluable patriotic service to our nation. In this fast paced and constantly fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will learn how Gen. William Sherman and his troops easily crushed the army of traitors who stood in their way – in the process making military history and helping save the republic. Add to that his friendship with General Grant\, his deep respect for President Lincoln\, his amazing life after the war – they all  make for a compelling and fascinating history presentation!   \n

SUMMARY:Jimmy Stewart - Icon on Film And American Hero
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Stewart  was one of the greatest and most popular American actors of all time.  From 1935 – 1991  he appeared in over 90 beings and television shows. His name alone drew people into theaters. Stewart’s amazing range  has never fully been equaled. He was a star of both Westerns and screwball comedies\, Hitchcock dramas and classic romance films. No matter what the role\, Jimmy Stewart’s talent\, commitment\, and decency shown through. This fast-moving\, incisive multimedia biography will certainly highlight some of his greatest films.  We will only be able to talk about a sampling of his career because the sheer number of great movies made by Jimmy Stewart is amazing. Consider just these 10: \nIt’s a Wonderful Life \nMr. Smith Goes to Washington \nThe Man Who Shot Liberty Valance \nThe Philadelphia Story \nYou Can’t Take It with You \nThe Man Who Knew Too Much \nAnatomy of a Murder \nRear Window \nVertigo \nHarvey \nOur presentation will not just cover Jimmy Stewart’s  phenomenal film career. \nWe will also look at his heroic service during  World War II.  At first\, Jimmy Stewart was concerned that his celebrity status would relegate him to promotional appearances and goodwill towards. As an experienced pilot\, he wanted to serve his country in combat. Although he entered the service is a private\, he was eventually promoted to brigadier general. James Stewart served bravely  often flying combat missions in the most dangerous situations.  He won many awards from the military and was a lifelong spokesman for the Air Force. We will look at his heroic service and the enormous personal toll it took on him.

SUMMARY:Cole Porter - Risque Master Of American Music
DESCRIPTION:Cole Porter is one of the greatest songwriters in American history. His melodies were sublime. His lyrics were clever\, witty\, sophisticated\, original and naughty. Cole Porter was the ultimate European oriented sophisticate – yet he was born in tiny Peru\, Indiana! \nThe list of songs written by Porter includes some of the greatest entries in the great American Songbook!  Consider: \nLET’S DO IT (LET’S FALL IN LOVE) (1928) \n NIGHT AND DAY (1932) \nANYTHING GOES (1934) \n DON’T FENCE ME IN (1934) \nI GET A KICK OUT OF YOU (1934) \nBEGIN THE BEGUINE (1935) \n I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (1936) \nIT’S DE-LOVELY (1936) \nPorter’s legacy was further assured by brilliant Broadway shows like “Kiss Me Kate” and “Can-Can.” But beneath the surface of this bon-vivant lay a tortured soul. Cole Porter lived in both psychic and physical pain much of his life. His life story\, his personality and his unforgettable music combine for a memorable multimedia presentation!
