Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographies Eminent Soldiers: Of the Last Four Centuries Major-General John Mitchell was born in Stirlingshire on the 11th of Jane 1785, in the house of his maternal grandfather, Mr George Potter. His father, Mr John Mitchell, was a man of unusual intellectual powers, and occupied most influential positions abroad during the latter part of last century. Early in life he had entered upon a diplomatic career as attache to the British legation under Mr Elliot, afterwards the Earl of Minto. His ability and sagacity soon attracted the attention of the Government; and as, dozing the American war and the early revolutionary movements in France, the commerce and trade of the nations in northern Europe were greatly disturbed, Mr Mitchell in 1787, being then Consul-General in Norway, was instructed by the Duke of Leeds, who was then Foreign Secretary, to investigate and report on the actual and prospective state of the maritime trade and other branches of the national industry, revenue, and naval and military forces of the northern monarchies. When his report was read at a meeting of the Board of Trade, of which Lord Hawkesbury was president, Mr Mitchell was much complimented by their Lordships for his ability and the fulness of the information he had collected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Soldier's Wife: An Autobiography To tell my own story is to tell that of my famous husband, General John A. Logan. Our marriage was a real partner ship for thirty-one happy years. I shared his thoughts and plans no less when he was a senator than when he was a pros ecuting attorney in southern Illinois. We were working in the harmony of a common purpose, whether I was in the kitchen improvising a meal for his friends when he was run ning for the legislature, or entertaining in Washington after his fame was secure and his influence nation-wide. With him I witnessed the stirring events in which he was a leader on the borderland of the Confederacy, where he raised his Union regiment. We were together whenever possible dur ing the war. I travelled with him on his political campaigns after the war. Thus I came to know not only the eminent soldiers and public men of his time, but the men in the ranks who believed in him and followed him, whether to Vicksburg and Atlanta or in his political battles.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt:...on a cross-country trip by horseback, of more than a thousand miles. The details of this adventurous journey make interesting reading, but cannot find place in this necessarily brief story. They reached an Indian village near where the city of Pittsburgh now stands, then turned south to the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers where dwelt a friendly tribe of Indians. Thence they went to Fort le Boeuf, where the French commander received the Virginia major politely, entertained him, but tried at the same time to win his Indian friends away from him.The return journey was terrible. The horses had become so weak that they were useless except as light pack animals. The little party struggled along on foot. Washington with one companion went on ahead. It was the dead of winter, but when they reached the Ohio River, they found that instead of its being frozen solid, as they had hoped, it was a turbulent mass of tossing cakes of ice."There was no way of getting over," writes Washington in...
