Frank Moore

From the stage to subterfuge-a spy's story in her own wordsBorn Harriet Wood in 1833, New Orleans the subject of this remarkable book made her stage debut as an actress in Louisville, Kentucky in 1862. From there she moved to New York where she adopted the stage name, Pauline Cushman. After one performance Pauline accepted money to toast the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis which resulted in her dismissal. However, Cushman decided to put her good offices with the Confederacy to good purpose by becoming a Union spy. Her dramatic experience proved invaluable, because she was initially extremely successful, fraternising with senior enemy army officers and gaining important information- sometimes concealing battle-plans in her shoes. Her good fortune eventually expired and she was caught in 1864 on two occasions. Pauline was brought before Braxton Bragg and sentenced to death, but the execution was postponed and she escaped the noose when Union troops occupied the area. Nevertheless, her escapades resulted in two woundings and some sources suggest she also even spied wearing uniform. Cushman was awarded the rank of brevet major by General James Garfield and she was further made an honorary major by President Lincoln. Thereafter, she became known as 'Miss Major Pauline Cushman' and by 1865 and the close of the American Civil War she was operating lecture tours. In common which several of her contemporaries Pauline became the subject of an account of her adventures -almost certainly embellished with advantages. Nevertheless, hers is a remarkable story of a brave and resolute patriot. This edition includes another short biographical essay for context. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

If you wandered the streets of Oakland or Berkeley, California from the mid-1970s through 2013, you likely saw one of Frank Moore's performance flyers on a telephone pole. The Temescal period is so named because of the ongoing performance series Moore did at the Temescal Art Center in Oakland, California from 2009 until his death in October 2013. At Temescal Art Center, he found a long-term home for his performance work. He called these performances "experiments in experience/participation performance". Each performance was a 3-hour improv happening with the audience as the cast. Anyone attending one of these events witnessed a master performer at the peak of his skills. Frank could quickly assess the audience, draw them into the performance, and create an intimate space where everyone felt safe and connected in a way they were not accustomed to, but that felt "normal" and that also exposed the isolation many feel in our current culture. This book presents any available written documentation, paraphernalia along with a selection of photographs from this performance series. Also included are the other various performances by Moore during this period, including the POW POW POW Festivals and four performances at the Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco. This volume closes with, "What A Life A Frank Moore Biography". It features a collection of writings by people who knew Frank that were requested by the editors for use in a possible biography.

In 1991, Kyle and Luna Griffith of S/R Press, who were at that time publishing shaman/performance artist Frank Moore's book, Cherotic Magic, suggested that he start a zine. Thus was born The Cherotic Revolutionary (TCR). The name of the zine later morphed into The Cherotic (r)Evolutionary. Here is how Frank described TCR in his first "Frankly Speaking" column in issue 0. The "Frankly Speaking" column appeared at the beginning of each issue. "TCR is a journal of the edge. TCR is an offensive movement or measure, offering alternatives to the fragmentation, isolation, personal helplessness which is actively promoted by the combine of power systems. TCR is anarchical, based on the personal responsibility to reshape reality into a more human, trusting, loving reality, full of fun and pleasure. TCR is not a reaction. It is a magical act of enjoying life. It is a journal of and for people who are doing this magical act. ... we finally have a channel of communications among the personal revolutions ... otherwise known as mutations ... which has always been the main fuel for evolution. Now we magical misfits know we are not alone, that there are others out/in here/there feeling, thinking, trying, doing similar things. This just by itself should speed evolution up." Later he wrote in "Frankly Speaking" for issue #5: "I need to thank the zine community for all the kind reviews of TC(r) over the years. I only wish they would not classify TC(r) as a sex zine. We do have a lot of sex in us. We will never shy away from that.

Nine issues of the zine were published during the 1990s featuring articles and poetry by Frank Moore, Annie Sprinkle, Veronica Vera, Carol Queen, Karen Finley, Noni Howard, Jack Foley, Ana Christy, Lob, Robert W. Howington, Dorothy Jesse Beagle, Linda Montano and many more. The zine also included lots of artwork and photos by the likes of H. R. Giger, Annie Sprinkle, John Seabury, Tony Ryan, Brian Viveros, T. R. Miller, Sean Bieri, Claudio Parentela, LaBash and many others.

Has America seen her best days? America the Exceptional compares America present to America past, reminding us that the Founding Fathers did not simply believe in Christian principles, but also that God visibly acted on behalf of the new country. This book demonstrates how all of our freedoms, including religious freedom, cannot survive in a secular society. America the Exceptional is a siren call to re-awaken America." As a veteran FDNY fire fighter who responded to and worked the horrible scene at Ground Zero following the 9/11 attacks, Frank Moore has earned the right and has the insights to address what has gone seriously wrong with America. What he has to say in America the Exceptional is exceptionally spot-on "-- Dr. Carol Swain, author, political pundit and former college professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt"Frank Moore has captured the intentions of the Founding Fathers and their documents that established the standards for America . . . that link "our Creator" to our country's purpose. Forgetting the basics of our founding principles will lead our country toward secularism and away from our Creator, destroying America as we have known it."-- Brigadier General R. Dennis Kerr, USA, retired"You have captured the key insights that made America great and presented them in a captivating way. America the Exceptional should be read across America. For our nation to preserve its freedoms, we must rediscover its founding secrets, and this book does exactly that."-- William J. Federer, American historian and authorFrank Moore is a retired FDNY lieutenant. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, he earned a bachelor's of science in business administration from Manhattan College. After working in banking for nearly six years, he left the business world to become a firefighter and has never looked back.
