It has ever since enjoyed a degree of public favor that is perhaps beyond its merits. However that may be, my friends among the historians and the critical students of history have persuaded me that, for the sake of historical complete ness, I should include in this new edition of the book the prefatory essay on The Old Régime in the Old Dominion, which first appeared in the Atlantic Monthly for November, 1875.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Rebel Reefer The following account of some of my experiences in life will have at least the merit of simplicity, and, the story being about myself, I ask indulgence for its unavoidable egotism. It has been said that adventures come only to him who seeks them, but-i am doubtful of the correctness of this adage, for I can truthfully say that I had as little to do with the shaping of my course in life as has an empty bottle thrown overboard in mid-ocean. I spent the most impor tant years of a boy's life, those between fifteen and nine teen, so far as education and the formation of character are concerned, tied to a sword and in the midst of a most cruel war, and when peace came I was wafted hither and thither, the sport of the fickle winds of varying fortune; and, having sailed 'neath alien skies and trod the desert path, naturally I imagine that I have met with some adventures out of the usual run of the average schoolboy's experiences, and if I have written some of them down, it has been with the laudable desire of amusing other people rather than personal vanity or desire for notoriety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Rebel Invasion and One Woman's Experience: During the Battle of Gettysburg Thirty-three years have passed since the events, which I shall now relate, took place. Most of the actors in our late Civil War have passed into the "Shadowy Land." A few more years and not one of all the "great hosts" who then went up to battle; not one of "all the many" who participated in the events which I am about to relate, will be living to tell the story. We all have the experiences of our life time. I had mine before, during and after the great battle which was fought on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July, 1863, and of these I am now going to write. I do not do this for self gratification, but to please my children, my grand-children, possibly my great-grand-children, and many friends whom I dearly love. We all know, as the years go by, the story of this great battle, so often told in our days, will grow in interest, to those who may come after us, and that my experience may not die with me, I will endeavor to tell what I know, what I saw, and of the little help I was enabled to give to the wounded and dying in that momentous struggle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a very beautiful and enjoyable life that the Virginians led in that ancient time, for it certainly seems ages ago, before the war came to turn ideas upside down and convert the picturesque commonwealth into a commonplace, modern state. It was a soft, dreamy, deliciously quiet life, a life of repose, an old life, with all its sharp corners and rough surfaces long ago worn round and smooth. Everything fitted everything else, and every point in it was so well settled as to leave no work of improvement for anybody to do. The Virginians were satisfied with things as they were, and if there were reformers born among them, they went elsewhere to work changes. Society in the Old Dominion was like a well rolled and closely packed gravel walk, in which each pebble has found precisely the place it fits best. There was no giving way under one's feet, no uncomfortable grinding of loose materials as one walked about over the firm and long-used ways of the Virginian social life. Let me hasten to say that I do not altogether approve of that life by any means. That would be flat blasphemy against the god Progress, and I have no stomach for martyrdom, even of our modern, fireless sort. I frankly admit in the outset, therefore, that the Virginians of that old time, between which and the present there is so great a gulf fixed, were idle people. I am aware that they were, when I lived among them, extravagant for the most part, and in debt altogether. It were useless to deny that they habitually violated all the wise precepts laid down in the published writings of Poor Richard, and set at naught the whole gospel of thrift. But their way of living was nevertheless a very agreeable one to share or to contemplate, the more because there was nothing else like it anywhere in the land. A whole community, with as nearly as possible nothing to do, is apt to develop a considerable genius for enjoyment, and the Virginians, during somewhat more than two centuries of earnest and united effort in that direction, had partly discovered and partly created both a science and an art of pleasant living. Add to idleness and freedom from business cares a climate so perfect that existence itself is a luxury within their borders, and we shall find no room for wonder that these people learned how to enjoy themselves. What they learned, in this regard, they remembered too. Habits and customs once found good were retained, I will not say carefully,—for that would imply effort, and the Virginians avoided effort always,—but tenaciously. The Virginians were born conservatives, constitutionally opposed to change. They loved the old because it was old, and disliked the new, if for no better reason, because it was new; for newness and rawness were well-nigh the same in their eyes.
Download or read book My Recollections of the War of the Rebellion Classic Reprint written by William B. Lapham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Recollections of the War of the Rebellion The incidents related in this little volume are chiefly confined to the regiment and batterv to which I belonged, and yet what. Is true of one organization whether in camp or in the field, is to a certain extent, true of others. The drill, the guard duty and the camp sports are essentially the same, and since war means killing, the methods adopted for this purpose in every action, are practicallv the same. The Twenty-third Maine Regiment served its term of enlistment in doing guard dutv on the Potomac, from Alexandria to Harper's Ferry. It had no en gagcment with the enemy, and yet the death rate was uncommonly large, thereby indicating the character of its service The Seventh Maine Battery joined the army of the Potomac in the march to the Wilder ness, and participated in all the subsequent engage ments of that gallant army. There were a number of men, including the writer, who served in both of these organizations and had the varied experience incident to both. There were no two organizations that left the State to aid in putting down the rebel lion, that contained a greater proportion of first class men than the two under consideration. Besides a large number of independent farmers, there were college graduates, merchants, mechanics. Teachers and other professional men. They enlisted from purely patriotic motives, and served with an eye single to the preservation of the Union. More than thirty years have elapsed since the regiment was organized, and many 'of those who survived the war, have since gone the way of all the earth. The scope oi this work will admit of only brief mention of any of them, but if such brief mention shall in any manner serve to keep green their memories and preserve the record of their sacrifices and heroic deeds, its preparation and its publication will not have been in vain.

Download or read book Devils and Rebels written by Larry J. Reynolds and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Well-written, scrupulously researched, and simultaneously sympathetic and critical toward its subject, Reynolds's book is important not only for its historically responsive account of Hawthorne's widely misunderstood politics but also its invigorating portrait of a perceptive author who struggled to resist the political extremism that swept the Northern states before and after the bombardment of Fort Sumter." ---New England Quarterly "This beautifully written, thoroughly researched study faces criticism of Hawthorne, both in his day and the present, for his stance on slavery and the Civil War. . . . Reynolds shows Hawthorne to have rejected the extremism of the abolitionists, been a pacifist who hoped war could be avoided . . . and hated slavery even more than war---but at the same to have been deeply prejudiced, to have feared amalgamation (or miscegenation), and never to have acknowledged the real horrors of slavery." ---Choice Widely condemned even in his own time, Nathaniel Hawthorne's views on abolitionism and slavery are today frequently characterized by scholars as morally reprehensible. Devils and Rebels explores the historical and biographical record to reveal striking evidence of the author's true political values---values grounded in pacifism and resistant to the kind of binary thinking that could lead to violence and war. With fresh readings of Hawthorne's four major romances and his less familiar works, Devils and Rebels illuminates the difficulties faced by public intellectuals during times of political strife---an issue as relevant today as it was some 150 years ago. Larry J. Reynolds is Thomas Franklin Mayo Professor of Liberal Arts and Professor of English at Texas A&M University.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of the War of the Rebellion This fourth volume of papers and sermons comprises papers presented at the banquets which follow the regular stated meetings of the Commandery, and sermons preached before the Commandery, as a part of the annual Church service which, during the past few years, has been held in commemoration of the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, an event that brought peace within our borders and that cemented once more the union of States comprising our great Republic. One object of the foundation of this Order, set forth in our Constitution, is - "to cherish the memories and associations of the war waged in defence of the unity and indivisibility of the Republic..." There is no way in which this result can be more effectually accomplished than by bringing together the personal recollections of those who took part in that great struggle. These narratives of personal experiences are interesting, not only because they bring us in contact with events of which the narrators themselves were a part, but also because, as a relation of facts and incidents based upon the personal observations and experiences of participants, they bring us much closer to the actual events of the War of the Rebellion than the more formal statements of the professional historian. Many of the incidents referred to, which are more or less of a personal character, would never have become matter of record but for these papers, nevertheless they give life to the accounts that are presented in the official reports. New York, February, 1912. The seeming paragon; To whom the better elements And kindly stars have given A form so fair, that, like the air, 'Tis less of earth than heaven.
