Download or read book A Rebel in Two Federal Pens Annotated written by A Rifleman, ESQ and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know you're in for a humorous tale as soon as you see the author's pen name and read the Preface. Before Lee had even surrendered, A. Rifleman was quickly scribbling his memoirs, having just been released from five months in Yankee penitentiaries. With his remarkable (very colloquial) vocabulary and spelling, he entertains throughout, while exhorting you to understand that he is painting an unvarnished portrait. He even begs pardon from his fellow Southerners for mentioning examples of Yankee kindnesses to him while incarcerated. This Confederate soldier was obviously educated, however bad some of his spelling (why his editor didn't correct it is unknown). We have left it all intact. He even tosses in use of French and Latin, and makes up his own words where he feels it's necessary. "Any super-fastidious reader who objects to my word-coinage, is hereby informed, that he is at perfect liberty to draw his pencil through the obnoxious polysyllable..." Much has been written about the horrors of Andersonville and Libby in the South. The book is also valuable for its depiction of northern POW conditions during the American Civil War. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Vinculis, or the Prisoner of War: Being the Experience of a Rebel in Two Federal Pens, Interspersed With Reminiscences of the Late War, Anecdotes of Southern Generals, Etc I answer, that the Southern people can be expected to have little interest in the American name, while they are denied American privileges, and we shall very contentedly see the American name suffer any reproach that truth can bring upon it. Nor do I think that while Jefferson Davis and C. C. Clay, and their compatriots, are denounced in official proclamations as assassins, the people of the United States can close the mouth of any accuser who offers reproach to the American name.

Download or read book Irish Catholic Writers and the Invention of the American South written by Bryan Giemza and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this expansive study, Bryan Giemza recovers a neglected subculture and retrieves a missing chapter of Irish Catholic heritage by canvassing the literature of American Irish writers from the U.S. South. Giemza offers a defining new view of Irish American authors and their interrelationships within both transatlantic and ethnic regional contexts. From the first Irish American novel, published in Winchester, Virginia, in 1817, Giemza investigates a cast of nineteenth-century writers contending with the turbulence of their time—writers influenced by both American and Irish revolutions. Additionally, he considers dramatists and propagandists of the Civil War and Lost Cause memoirists who emerged in its wake. Some familiar names reemerge in an Irish context, including Joel Chandler Harris, Lafcadio Hearn, and Kate (O’Flaherty) Chopin. Giemza also examines the works of twentieth-century southern Irish writers, such as Margaret Mitchell, John Kennedy Toole, Flannery O’Connor, Pat Conroy, Anne Rice, Valerie Sayers, and Cormac McCarthy. For each author, Giemza traces the influences of Catholicism as it shaped both faith and ethnic identity, pointing to shared sensibilities and contradictions. Flannery O’Connor, for example, resisted identification as an Irish American, while Cormac McCarthy, described by some as “anti-Catholic,” continues a dialogue with the Church from which he distanced himself. Giemza draws on many never-before-seen documents, including authorized material from the correspondence of Cormac McCarthy, interviews from the Irish community of Flannery O’Connor’s native Savannah, Georgia, and Giemza’s own correspondence with writers such as Valerie Sayers and Anne Rice. This lively literary history prompts a new understanding of how the Irish in the region helped invent a regional mythos, an enduring literature, and a national image.
