Cavalry Legend Kilpatrick in the Carolinas
A detailed wartime reminiscence recounts Kilpatrick's Cavalry Division under Brevet Major-General Judson Kilpatrick during Sherman's Carolinas campaign. It covers river crossings, riverbank fights near Barnwell and Aiken, battles at Blackville and Pole Cat Pond, victories over Wheeler Hampton and Cheatham, prison exchanges with Col Rhett, Bentonville aftermath, and the march to Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and the surrender context. It preserves vivid anecdotes, including the Smith Spencer rifles, clashes with Confederate Cavalry, and Kilpatrick's escape from capture.

Combined hotbed and cold frame planting box described
A California vegetable growing authority details a compact unit that uses a dry goods box filled with fresh horse manure and straw. Small soil flats sit atop the manure and are covered with glass panes to create mini hotbeds that can be vented or reburied as temperatures change. The device cools to act as a cold frame as the manure cools. Also mentioned is the kagura taiko drum used in Japanese temples for worship, producing a tone similar to a gong.
