Excerpt: ... the steeple of one of the churches. From regimental surgeon of the Eighty-ninth Dr. Squire was promoted to division field-surgeon under General Burnside. The surgeon-general of the army in speaking of him in his report says he was " considered one of the most efiicient surgeons of the Army of the Potomac." Dr. Squire was a member of the Elmira Academy of Medicine, the County Medical Society, the New York State Medical Society, New York State Medical Association, and American Surgical Association, a national organization of the most celebrated surgeons in the country meeting annually in Washington. He was the inventor of a useful surgical instrument for which a prize was given him by the French Imperial Academy of Medicine. In this instrument there was a fortune for the inventor, but Dr. Squire refused to patent it, saying it was for the good of the world, and belonged to the world, so he gave it to the world. In I876 the Brilis/r Journal pronounced Dr. Squire to be one of the fore. most medical writers of the world. He died November 27, I889. Hi; son, Dr. Charles Squire, under the training of a father to whom-to know well was almost equal to a liberal education, promises in many respects to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious ancestor. The eldest daugh. ter, Carrie, is the wife of Hamilton Brown, a banker in Minneapolis, Minn., and the youngest daughter, Frances Boardman Squire, has already, although very young, demonstrated in the magazines of the day that she has inherited some of the literary abilities of her father. In the l-Iighty-ninth Regiment there were a number of Elmira men. In A Company, Capt. Nathan Coryell, Patrick Sullivan. In C Company, Capt. Charles W. Burt, there were First Sergt. John L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You ought to see Livy & me, now-a-days—you never saw such a serenely satisfied couple of doves in all your life. I spent Jan 1, 2, 3 & 5 there, & left at 8 last night. With my vile temper & variable moods, it seems an incomprehensible miracle that we two have been right together in the same house half the time for a year & a half, & yet have never had a cross word, or a lover's 'tiff,' or a pouting spell, or a misunderstanding, or the faintest shadow of a jealous suspicion. Now isn't that absolutely wonderful? Could I have had such an experience with any other girl on earth? I am perfectly certain I could not. . . . We are to be married on Feb. 2d." So begins Volume 4 of the letters, with Samuel Clemens anticipating his wedding to Olivia L. Langdon. The 338 letters in this volume document the first two years of a loving marriage that would last more than thirty years. They recount, in Clemens's own inimitable voice, a tumultuous time: a growing international fame, the birth of a sickly first child, and the near-fatal illness of his wife. At the beginning of 1870, fresh from the success of The Innocents Abroad, Clemens is on "the long agony" of a lecture tour and planning to settle in Buffalo as editor of the Express. By the end of 1871, he has moved to Hartford and is again on tour, anticipating the publication of Roughing It and the birth of his second child. The intervening letters show Clemens bursting with literary ideas, business schemes, and inventions, and they show him erupting with frustration, anger, and grief, but more often with dazzling humor and surprising self-revelation. In addition to Roughing It, Clemens wrote some enduringly popular short pieces during this period, but he saved some of his best writing for private letters, many of which are published here for the first time.

And on the move he was—from San Francisco to New York, to St. Louis, and then to Paris, Naples, Rome, Athens, Constantinople, Yalta, and the Holy Land; back to New York and on to Washington; back to San Francisco and Virginia City; and on to lecturing in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Download or read book John Surratt written by Frederick Hatch and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Harrison Surratt, Jr., was a courier for the Confederate Secret Service and the only one of John Wilkes Booth's co-conspirators in the Lincoln assassination plot to escape hanging by the U.S. government. Fleeing vengeful authorities in the wake of the assassination, Surratt traveled through three continents and served in the Papal Zouaves before being arrested in Egypt. His 1867 trial was a sensation, ending in a hung jury. Upon his release, he sought a quiet life away from the spotlight but privately suffered the consequences of his acts. The most complete study of Surratt's life to date, this book addresses many unanswered questions and considers theories that have received little attention.

Download or read book Mark Twain s Letters Volume 3 written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992-07-28 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Don't scold me, Livy—let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all women; let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question—for you are my world, my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having." These are the words of Samuel Clemens in love. Playful and reverential, jubilant and despondent, they are filled with tributes to his fiancée Olivia Langdon and with promises faithfully kept during a thirty-four-year marriage. The 188 superbly edited letters gathered here show Samuel Clemens having few idle moments in 1869. When he was not relentlessly "banged about from town to town" on the lecture circuit or busily revising The Innocents Abroad, the book that would make his reputation, he was writing impassioned letters to Olivia. These letters, the longest he ever wrote, make up the bulk of his correspondence for the year and are filled with his acute wit and dazzling language. This latest volume of Mark Twain's Letters captures Clemens on the verge of becoming the celebrity and family man he craved to be. This volume has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and by a major donation to the Friends of The Bancroft Library from the Pareto Fund.
