Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of America and Americans Then came Santa Anna; a crescent of flame! Then the red escalade; then the fight hand to hand; Such an unequal fight as never had name Since the Persian hordes butchered that doomed Spar tan band. All dam - all day and all night; and the morning? So slow, Through the battle smoke mantling the Alamo. Now silence! Such silence! Two thousand lay dead In a crescent outside! And within? Not a breath Save the gasp of a woman, with gory gashed head, All alone, all alone there, waiting for death; And she but a nurse. Yet when shall we know Another like this of the Alamo? - Joaquin Miller. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Sketches From Oldest America From the small size of this volume, one would hardly realize, perhaps, what an immense amount of labor and patient research its writing must necessarily represent. The author, who was first sent to northwestern Alaska in the summer of 1890, and who, by the bye, has, with the exception of two vacations of a year each, been constantly at his post in that bleak country ever since, found himself one day landed, with his possessions, upon the inhospitable sea-beach of the Point Hope peninsula, where for weeks he was compelled to shelter himself from wind and rain, as best he could, in an improvised tent made of barrels and boxes with canvas thrown over them. Finally, the carpenters of some of the whaling ships were got together and a house, which had been framed in distant San Francisco, was put up for him, a few hundred yards from the water's edge. A mile or so away lay a large native village, the inhabitants of which naturally regarded him as a great curiosity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miss. America: Pen and Camera Sketches of the American Girl It will be suspected, perhaps, that in saying "sketches," I have wished to escape some of the responsibility which might have been incurred by a more formal approach to a momentous theme, though the entire truth of the description should carry its own justification. And if the term be permitted in describing the text, it has equal appropriateness in describing the pictures; for the photograph seldom can be more than a sketch, and must be content with the limitations as well as with the privileges of the sketch.

Download or read book The American Biographical Sketch Book Classic Reprint written by William Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Biographical Sketch Book Andrew fuller once remarked that he would rather be like the moon, which, although full of spots and imperfections, lends a useful light to men, than a meteor, with its dazzling but transient glare, exciting only the wonder of mankind. It was in the spirit of this sentiment that we compiled the following pages, embracing brief sketches, for the most part, of the lives of men who, by unwearied perseverance, have triumphed over difficulties. Born in an humble sphere, which precluded the advantages of a liberal education, we resolved, that although unable to write a learned work, we would attempt to produce a useful one. Hence, the fastidious critic who shall search for faults, will be rewarded with an abundant harvest. If, however, this volume shall serve as a hint to those so well able to write a better, a valuable end will have been attained. But, in the absence of such, we flatter ourself that the biographical sketch Boox, with all its defects, will not be entirely unacceptable to a discerning public. The needle, although unpolished, may yet serve to point the way to the pole 5 and if the examples set forth shall cheer but one sufferer, and enable him to wait with patience for the bright dawning of to-morrow, the labor will not have been in vain.

The Stanley Brothers have also a large brick store, well filled with various kinds of goods, but the proprietors being away from home at the time of our visit, we were unable to make a tour of inspection. The new court house occupies a very sightly place, and is an attractive edifice. Its dimensions we are unable to give. The two new hotels are both large and centrally situated. We can speak of the accommodations of only one, tne Central House. Here everything is in perfect order here are landlords and landladies who know how to make their guests feel at home; here too, is a marvel a clerk who knows his business and attends to it.
