used books,books, Beyond Buntyn : ... to Tail Hooks, Russian Codes, the Fed, and Caring, Like many young men during World War II, John Denkler wanted to serve his country. Enlisting in the navy's flight training program, Denkler was preparing for the invasion of Japan when the war ended. WWII's sudden conclusion didn't prevent Denkler from serving. He spent three years flying from aircraft carriers as part of an anti-submarine squadron, although his main contribution would be intellectual. Noticing Denkler's aptitude for puzzle-solving, the navy ordered the young man to learn Russian to become a code-breaker. For the remainder of his thirty-year military career Denkler lived in the shadowy world of cryptology, intercepting and deciphering coded messages. Denkler's greatest challenge, however, came after retirement. As his wife's Alzheimer's disease worsened, Denkler refused to have her institutionalized. In spite of his own physical problems he honored a promise: that he would stay by her side. By turns uplifting and somber, humorous and heart-wrenching, Beyond Buntyn chronicles one man's extraordinary life and dedication.

Ann E. Denkler, Books, History, Sustaining Identity, Recapturing Heritage: Exploring Issues of Public History, Tourism, and Race in a Southern Rural Town, Sustaining Identity, Recapturing Heritage examines the complex web of public history, race, cultural identity, and tourism in Luray, Virginia, a rural Southern town. The texts associated with this town's public history-tourist brochures, promotional narratives, historic homes, memorials, and monuments-are devoted to the founding eighteenth-century families and Confederate soldiers in Luray's past, but they also marginalize the history and heritage of African Americans and American Indians, and nearly obliterate the history of women in this region. Thus, the public history does not reflect the actual history of this town. A close look at one town helps to debunk the ideas and ideologies of the existence of a monolithic South, since the term could mean Mississippi, North Carolina, or somewhere-in-between. Luray and the Shenandoah Valley, with their distinctive geographical, economical, architectural, and cultural history can boast of its own discrete southern identity. The book reveals how African-American texts and history reveal contributions to the town of Luray and the Shenandoah Valley region. The book studies the Ol' Slave Auction Block, a controversial public history site that subverts the white, hegemonic heritage of the town. Sustaining Identity, Recapturing Heritage is groundbreaking in its study of African-American tourism.
