Another great conservative publishing project is Bulkington Books. They take historical texts that have been unfairly forgotten and bring them back to life. One example is this book:
Kermit Roosevelt was the son of President Teddy Roosevelt. This book is his account of fighting in WWI that was published in 1919. Kermit served in Mesopotamia and left this fascinating description of what he saw and experienced. He was a book lover and used every opportunity between battles, skirmishes, and sitting in trenches to read Xenophon and Plutarch. It’s quite extraordinary how well-read this young man was and how dedicated to improving his mind by the practice of ceaseless reading. There are some absolutely stunning stories in War in the Garden of Eden of the lengths Kermit would go to procure reading matter.
Kermit Roosevelt’s quiet dignity and an unhurried gift for observation make this book a gem. It reads extremely easily. I even read parts aloud to my 9-year-old, and she liked them. Still, publishing this slim volume today takes courage. Kermit Roosevelt was erased from literary history because his writing reflects the sensibility of his time. It’s not politically correct according to today’s norms. Kermit speaks in a way that we can no longer tolerate. And while he read ancient Greeks and easily tolerated their difference from his early twentieth-century sensibility, we are not nearly as strong. Even somebody from only just a century ago wounds our tender psyches that collapse under the realization that in the past people thought and spoke differently.
Bulkington added photos and newspaper clippings to Kermit’s narrative to help the reader get a feel for the time when he lived. We can all be proud of Kermit and a great culture that produced such an impressive young man. Bulkington Books wants us to make place in our understanding of American history for edifying and fascinating stories like that of Kermit Roosevelt. This is a wonderful goal, and I wish this publisher every success.

I like what I see as far as the books go but they really need to get rid of this godawful background

I actually like it. It has this retro feel to it, like a classic geocities page from the late 90s/early 2000s. Back when the internet felt raw and weird and you could actually find valuable content that wasn’t sanitized or curated into oblivion by google.

I like this in theory but in practice I have a lot of difficulty reading the text with this behind it. A different background could work I’m sure

Hi, this is Bulkington Books. I have gotten around to cleaning up the background and removed that entirely. You should no longer have that problem. I have also updated the catalog and made a few other tweaks to the website. Let me know if you or anyone else has any questions or issues or other feedback.

Thank you, it looks better! However, when I use my cell phone to look at your website and I scroll down far enough, the background reappears. It may be different on a PC – I haven’t tried that.

I hear you. But Geocities flashing GIFs were a total nightmare.
I’d love to have the actual info-finding function back though.

At least on a desktop/laptop there is a place to left of bar that has the url that you can tap for “reader view’ and all the background goes away

I’m often surprised by how similar the past seems to modern people. This was written by Hobson in 1900 (whose theories on socialism, capitalism, and imperialism were adopted by Lenin) and seems to perfectly describe the society that produced Musk.

“Never have I been so struck with the intellect and the audacious enterprise and foresight of great business men as here. Nor are these qualities confined to the Beits and Barnatos and other great capitalists; the town bristles and throbs with industrial and commercial energy; the bracing physical atmosphere (Johannesburg stands 6000 feet above the sea) has marvellous tonic influences to evoke and stimulate mental energy. Every one seems alert and tense, eager to grasp the skirts of some happy chance and raise himself, as he has seen some scores of others no better than himself raised, to sudden affluence. The utter dependence upon financial “booms” and “slumps,” conjoined with the strain and kaleidoscopic changes of the political situation, has bred by selection and by education a type of man and of society which is as different from that of Manchester as the latter is from the life of Hankow or Buenos Ayres.”

The UN was created by people who had experienced both world wars. The question is should this be ditched in favor of unilateralism and perpetual war.
