Matthew Raphael Johnson has returned to The Barnes Review as its Senior Researcher. He was the editor of TBR from 2000 to 2005 when he left to take a job as professor of history at Mount Saint Mary’s University. He always remained close to The Barnes Review and regularly published there even while working elsewhere. “Its a one of a kind publication that deserves the support of all rational people, few in number though they are.

By Paul T. Angel. On February 17, 2016, Willis Allison Carto, 1926–2015, was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, on property once owned by the family of Confederate war hero Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Carto earned this honor, having received a Purple Heart after being shot by a Japanese sniper during his time in the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theater of World War II. “I never held any animosity for that Japanese soldier,” Carto told this writer many years ago. “He was doing his duty, and I was doing mine.”

By Sam Dickson. Willis Carto died October 26, 2015, from coronary arrest.
To him the Kingdom of Heaven.
Or as the neo-pagans in our movement might say:
“Wither takest thou me, Warrior Maiden?”
“To the War-Father.  To Walhalla.”
