Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soldier and Patriot: The Story of George Washington The fact of this evenness, and absence of special develop ment, makes the history of his life difficult to write. It is the irregularities, the eccentricities, the ruggedness of a character, which furnish anecdotes and incidents. The circumstances of Washington's career were indeed varied enough, involved as they were with the principal events of the American assertion of independence, but through them all the man moves on with a calm and stately tread, exhibiting to us perhaps more than anything else the nobility of common sense. In making the following brief sketch, I have been obliged to dwell upon the outward features of his career to exemplify his character. This must be my excuse if I have seemed to introduce too much of military detail; but at the same time I would have it remembered that it is Washington, and not the history of America, I have tried to sketch.

There was that little brush at Fort Necessity last year, from which they brought away nothing but their skins, and damned glad they were to do that. They brought away their arms, I cried hotly, and would have brought away all their stores and munitions, had the French kept faith and held their Indians off. That, too, in face of an enemy three times their number. The Virginians have no cause to blush for their conduct at Fort Necessity. The Coldstreams could have done no better. Allen laughed again. Ah, pardon me, Stewart, he said contemptuously, I forgot that you were present on that glorious day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Washington an Address It is not my purpose to detail to you the life of a man or to recite consecutively the history of a revolution. My task is rather to tell you in a plain way a few of the things which I deem best worth knowing about George Washington. The theme seems hackneyed enough, but much as it has been discussed, the last word has not yet by any means been said. Although Washington was born 171 years ago and has now been dead more than a century, we are but just beginning to know the real man. Like most great men he was not fully understood even by those contemporaries who apparently had the best opportunities for knowing him. Nor is this strange. Some fields of human activity develop men of simple and transparent lives - men to the very bottoms of whose souls all may see; but to achieve immortality, either in the field of politics or of war, argues a complexity of mind and character not to be fathomed by every inquiring glance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hatchet of the United States Ship George Washington A letter from the Captain to the Postmaster at New York stated that he thought that the forces going overseas might also have some of the papers, etc, while on the way, and a request was made for several thousand. The matter was referred to the Postmaster General at Washington, and as a result all transports applying for the papers would receive all they asked for. Moving pictures at sea were out of the question. They could not be held on deck, and if an accident happened, such as a torpedo hitting the ship, when several hundred men were crowded in one compart ment, the results might be very serious. After the ship was in good running order, however, movies were held when the ship was in port, and since the armistice was signed, they have been an almost nightly occurrence.
