Classic Camera by Kate Rouse
Richard Taylor (1826-1879) was a Confederate general in the American Civil War. He was the son of United States President Zachary Taylor and First Lady Margaret Taylor. Although starting his college studies at Harvard University, he graduated from Yale in 1845. He received no scholastic honors, but spent the majority of his time reading books on classical and military history. During the Mexican-American War, Taylor served as the military secretary to his father. After Zachary Taylor's untimely death in July 1850, Taylor inherited Fashion. Steadily he increased its area, improved its sugar works and expanded its labor force to nearly 200 slaves. But the freeze of 1856 ruined his crop, forcing him into heavy debt with a large mortgage on the plantation. After the war, Richard Taylor wrote his memoirs, Destruction and Reconstruction (1879), which is one of the most credited reports of the Civil War. He was active in Democratic Party politics, interceded on behalf of Jefferson Davis with President Andrew Johnson, and was a leading political opponent of Northern Reconstruction policies.
Rouse, Kate: - The eldest of four sisters, Kate Rouse grew up in Albury and on a small farm at Table Top, New South Wales, Australia. She had a happy childhood with freedom to explore nature and enjoy life with horses that were a huge part of her life then as they still are today. After completing a BA and Dip Ed at the University of New England, Armidale, Kate worked at Mt Hotham and Mt Buffalo in various roles and travelled extensively throughout the world for 12 years, interspersed with teaching English in Japan and casual teaching in New South Wales and Victoria. She self-published two travelogues in the 1990's. Kate loved to travel slowly by bike or hiking and immerse herself in the culture and landscape she was passing through. Spiritual exploration was very much a part of her travelling life. During the following 12 years Kate worked as a teacher, Aboriginal Education Worker, youth worker, pool manager, factory hand and receptionist. She travelled in Australia with her partner, Shayne, completed Certificate IV in Community Welfare, a Diploma of Counselling and a Fine Arts Certificate. At Christmas 2010, Kate was struck down with pneumonia and during this time she contemplated her mortality. Slowly recuperating while house-sitting in Queensland, Kate began to think about what she would write if her life was coming to its finality when the idea of, A Spiritual Handbook for the Modern Era, emerged in 2012. Kate wanted to help others who were experiencing trouble or confusion and provide some clarity with relevance to the sometimes complicated and often demanding era we find ourselves in today. Kate published the book with Zeus Publications in 2013. With the help of school friend, Wendy Blake, a second edition was published in 2019 by Zephyr Publications. Kate and Shayne now live in Queensland where they are establishing a small horse stud. Living with Chronic Fatigue and its many challenges, Kate is still pursuing her dream of being a writer and artist. She has experienced life broadly, felt life deeply and studied spirituality from an early age. Kate and Shayne share their lives with Teuco, a talkative blue parrot, Whispit and Sox, mischievous tabby cats and 12 beautiful horses.
