An orderly sent to order in our out posts returned wounded. The others were absent on duty. Bailey, said the General to the writer, would you mind ordering in those fellows A horse, - a hasty mounting, a dash over the works, a dash over the intervening space, - and the order was delivered. The pickets of the outpost were already engaged with the advancing Confederate skirmish-line, and little leaden messengers hissed and whizzed uncomfortably close, cut ting through the air and foliage. A recall of pickets, an excited and confused falling in, and a hasty repair ing to our lines, closely followed by the advancing Con federates. Other pickets are coming in rapidly, and the general report is, They are coming on us heavy! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Grunt The Curious Science of Humans at War written by Mary Roach and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times / National Bestseller "America's funniest science writer" (Washington Post) Mary Roach explores the science of keeping human beings intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfested in the bizarre and extreme circumstances of war. Grunt tackles the science behind some of a soldier's most challenging adversaries—panic, exhaustion, heat, noise—and introduces us to the scientists who seek to conquer them. Mary Roach dodges hostile fire with the U.S. Marine Corps Paintball Team as part of a study on hearing loss and survivability in combat. She visits the fashion design studio of U.S. Army Natick Labs and learns why a zipper is a problem for a sniper. She visits a repurposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for the shock and gore of combat wounds. At Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti, in east Africa, we learn how diarrhea can be a threat to national security. Roach samples caffeinated meat, sniffs an archival sample of a World War II stink bomb, and stays up all night with the crew tending the missiles on the nuclear submarine USS Tennessee. She answers questions not found in any other book on the military: Why is DARPA interested in ducks? How is a wedding gown like a bomb suit? Why are shrimp more dangerous to sailors than sharks? Take a tour of duty with Roach, and you’ll never see our nation’s defenders in the same way again.
Download or read book The Last Four Weeks of the War Classic Reprint written by Edmund Neuson Hatcher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Four Weeks of the War But for the cultivation of a fancy, this volume would not go to the public. The collection of material for this work began shortly after the close of the War, by seeking from both North and South, files of daily and weekly papers published during the activity of the two great armies of the Union and Confederate forces. Many difficulties were encountered in collecting files now in my possession, yet, after the lapse of more than a quarter of a century, the result of my collection is in valuable and cannot be duplicated. Having a desire, after having served in the field at a youthful age, to know more than I chanced to have seen, caused me to seek this channel for that I deemed more accurate and interesting than could come from the pen of a historian, and to you is given the situation and expression on both Union and Confederate sides, to study over as I have done with great pleasure. I do not offer an apology for any article within this cover. I have given each as it came directly from the press sentiment on those dates. It has been found necessary at times to have concentrated letters and editorials, but the gist of each is retained and here given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy in Gray: A Story of the War This book has been written for the young people who are interested in the story of the stirring scenes through which their fathers passed. It is needless to say that it is not a true record of personal life; it is no more history than is Robinson Crusoe or the Pilgrim's Progress. The facts stated as historic are to be relied upon. Many of these came under my own eye, when I went over the ground which Roger speaks of in his campaign. The pictures of Georgia life are, I think, correctly drawn, and ought not to fade out entirely.

Download or read book The Law of Private Property in War With a Chapter on Conquest written by Norman Bentwich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Private Property in War, With a Chapter on Conquest: Being the Yorke Prize Essay for 1906 This book is based upon the Essay which won the Yorke Prize at Cambridge University in 1906; and the Author's chief excuse for adding to the already unwieldy mass of literature, which is being piled up about International Law, is that, by the regula tions which govern the Prize, publication has been thrust upon him. It is hoped, however, that the treatise may find some small justification beyond this compulsion. Undoubtedly the subject with which it deals is in the air. The events of the war between Russia and Japan and the approach of the meeting of the second Hague Conference, which it is hoped will form a code of the laws of war on sea, have combined to arouse public interest in the development of the International Law of War and Neutrality. Public opinion has greater influence in deter mining changes in this branch of jurisprudence than in any other, because these changes depend finally on the common consent of nations, which is but the expression of the united opinion of the people; and this in turn must be guided by the expositions of jurists. The aim of this book is to formulate, from a study of the chief authorities, the general principles which underlie modern usages, to point out where particular practices are obsolete and violate those principles, and to suggest the lines upon which reform may proceed. It may seem by its title to clash with an elaborate treatise which has recently been written on War and Commerce by Mr. Atherley-j ones, but its scope is at once narrower and wider. It avoids as far as possible lengthy historical disquisitions, and it does not seek to trace a path through the wilderness of single instances. It is more concerned with present usages and tendencies, and it covers the effects of war in all its relations to private property, as well of enemies as of neutrals, and both on land and on sea. It is clearly differentiated also in scope from the standard treatises on International Law, for it deals exclusively with that part of the law which affects private persons, and aims rather at interesting the student than satisfying the lawyer.
