My interest in history developed early, before I received a B.A. in history at the University of Virginia. As a youth, cash earned from a paper route, funded the purchase of my first sail boat at age 15. In my summer college years, I was dock and harbor master, and sailing instructor at a Long Island yacht club near New London, Connecticut. Later I owned a 32' sail boat, enjoying sailing beyond the sight of land.Recent trips to the English Cotswold's, Midlands and the coast of Ireland took me to areas covered in this book. I have traveled over the routes and visited the communities Charles saw in his travels from New York to the Midwest.

Tribalism in the twenty-first century, as it has since prehistoric times, implies the possession of a strong cultural or ethnic identity that separates one member of a group from the members of another group. Based on strong relations of proximity and kinship, as well as relations based on the mutual survival of both the individual members of the tribe and for the tribe itself, members of a tribe tend to possess a strong feeling of identity. In contemporary times, tribalism has been castigated as a primitive and regressive form of social structure that impedes national development, and numerous instances can be shown where this appears to be an accurate assessment. As will be pointed out in the following study of the origins of tribalism in ancient Jewish history, the biblical narrative appears to corroborate that assessment. However, when considering the more than three millennia of Jewish history, it can be argued that tribalism played a highly significant role in its perseverance from remote antiquity to the present day. Beginning with the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE, and the subsequent dispersion of the children of Israel from their homeland to the diverse parts of the world since then, disconnected communities of Jews persisted in upholding the core teachings of Judaism based on the written laws originally transmitted by Moses, and augmented by differing traditions. In effect, the Jewish diaspora consisted of independent but nonetheless tribal clans predicated on common core biblical teachings distinct from those of the host entities. The present work focusses on the emergence of tribalism as implicitly recounted in the narratives of the Pentateuch. It begins with the first family and concludes with the era of Moses, as the children of Israel prepare to cross the Jordan to enter the land of Canaan as promised to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The matter of tribalism is not addressed as such by the biblical narrator, whose primary focus is on the relations and interactions between God and man. However, the subject of tribalism can be seen implicit in the narratives when considered from sociological and political perspectives.

Saying goodbye is never easy. Burying a loved one can be unbearable. I'd never have imagined witnessing so many losses within my lifetime. There have been so many tragedies. We are living in trying times, where lives are being lost daily. Many families are destroyed by grief. Bearing loss after loss leaves one with many unanswered questions. How do I cope? How do I move on? The answer is through God's Divine Comfort.Divine Comfort For The Wounded Soul was birthed from my losses and tragedies. I want to speak to every wounded soul that has lost a parent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparent, spouse, child, leader, pastor, cousin, friend, or simply a loved one. Maybe you lost a loved one to divorce or an addiction. You might find yourself at a loss for words. Maybe you've become overtaken with grief and feel like there is no reason to continue living. Regardless of the cause, my heart is with you. I want to bring awareness to the different stages of grief. In no moment am I saying that going through the stages of grief will bring healing or comfort to the wounded soul. But God can. Avoiding the stages and allowing grief to consume you will keep you bonded.This book details how I coped with my grief. The true purpose is to help bring hope to those that need it. I also want to bring honor to the Healer, Jesus Christ. He healed my wounded spirit and carried me through. He became my Friend and Divine Comforter. He walks by my side throughout my pain. During my moments of loneliness and questioning, He helped me through my grief process. His Word lifted me. God's ultimate love and compassion for the wounded soul is the remedy. My grief almost destroyed me, but God saved me. He can save you too. God is always available to help in the grief process. We just need to allow Him to do so. I pray this book helps, even if it's just a little.

This book is a collection of essays (and a few poems) that can stand alone or be read out of order. Like any "witness statement" that is oered in life, these stories can be told with more or less information and from dierent perspectives, but they are true to me. Here I am reading at my favorite poetry reading "Dinner With The Muse," hosted by Evie Ivy, (who took this photograph of me on a Halloween) when I was one of the features at the Green Pavilion Restaurant in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. I am reading a poem about how Ophelia survived Hamlet and lives on, without needing his aection. Hamlet's name is written on my heart-shaped purse and I am wearing my Viking jewelry, purchased at a gift shop in Times Square.
