Download or read book The Patriot War Classic Reprint written by Robert Budd Ross and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Patriot War In 1763 when Gen. Gage, the British commander, drafted a contin gent of French Canadians to aid in revenging on the Indians the massa cre of the garrison at Mackinaw, the levies were treated as beasts of burden, and set to work at the point of the bayonet, while the British regulars sat at ease in their tents. The legislative council or senate excluded all natives of Canada from a share in the conduct of its affairs. N 0 correct idea can be given within the narrow limits of a newspaper history of the vexatious injustice practiced upon the French population. They were at one time denied the right of sitting as jurors, and were in many respects a proscribed class. Small wonder that many French Canadians joined the ranks of the heroes of the American revolution in 1776.

Download or read book Dreadnought written by Robert K. Massie and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 1076 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping chronicle of the personal and national rivalries that led to the twentieth century’s first great arms race, from Pulitzer Prize winner Robert K. Massie With the biographer’s rare genius for expressing the essence of extraordinary lives, Massie brings to life a crowd of glittery figures: the single-minded Admiral von Tirpitz; the young, ambitious Winston Churchill; the ruthless, sycophantic Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow; Britain’s greatest twentieth-century foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey; and Jacky Fisher, the eccentric admiral who revolutionized the British navy and brought forth the first true battleship, the H.M.S. Dreadnought. Their story, and the story of the era, filled with misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and events leading to unintended conclusions, unfolds like a Greek tragedy in this powerful narrative. Intimately human and dramatic, Dreadnought is history at its most riveting. Praise for Dreadnought “Dreadnought is history in the grand manner, as most people prefer it: how people shaped, or were shaped by, events.”—Time “A classic [that] covers superbly a whole era . . . engrossing in its glittering gallery of characters.”—Chicago Sun-Times “[Told] on a grand scale . . . Massie [is] a master of historical portraiture and anecdotage.”—The Wall Street Journal “Brilliant on everything he writes about ships and the sea. It is Massie’s eye for detail that makes his nautical set pieces so marvelously evocative.”—Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of War These articles, written from day to day, for the columns of the quebec daily telegraph, were commenced when the war was still at its height, but, happily, the great struggle had been Victoriously con cluded before the final chapter was written. It was not my intention, when I wrote the initial articles, to have prolonged the story to the length it has actually attained; but all I have written still conveys, but in meagre fashion, the tremendous impression made upon me by my visit to England and France last summer; if, however, my descrip tion of the experiences of the Canadian Newspaper Mis sion, as I felt them, give, in even a slight manner, a more adequate, understanding in this country of the efforts made by Britain and France in the Great War, it will not have been in vain. The attempt of Lord Beaver brook, - at that time British Minister of Information, to convey to Canada a more vivid comprehension of the undertakings of Britain and France, has not been, I believe, a futile one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Canada Was New France The Great War has had a special meaning for Canadians. Soldiers from our shores, citizen-soldiers, have been landing on the northern coast of France in tens of thousands, and passing through the same seaport towns whence nearly four hundred years ago men sailed forth to the westward to discover a fabled land. This country, discovered by the French and colonized by them and by the English, this land which was now French and now English as the fortune of war changed in Europe as well as in America, has become a nation, and when the time of trial came and danger threatened the ancestral homes in the two Motherlands, Canada hesitated not a moment but offered her services in the cause of freedom.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Canadian's View of the Battle of Plattsburgh It is of splendid augury that a great State thinks it fitting to ask to help in the celebration of the Centenary of a battle, citizens of a neighbouring state whose flag suffered there a reverse; and it is of even grander significance that these citizens accept that invitation with pleasure and, indeed, with eagerness. You of the State of New York see nothing extraordinary, much less improper, in inviting us to rejoice with you in the gladness of your nation; and we, Canadians to the finger-tips, Britons to the last drop of our blood, cordially unite with you in the glory of your inheritance. For the true significance of this occasion is not the victory and the defeat, but the adumbration of a hundred years of peace. We Canadians naturally and necessarily look at the war of 1812 from a different point of view from that of the American. Patriotism is cruel, and cannot be expected to be other than unjust.

Download or read book The Canadian War of 1812 Classic Reprint written by Charles Prestwood Lucas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian War of 1812 This book, intended to be an instalment of Canadian history, has been compiled as far as possible simply from the dispatches on both sides relating to the war. Nearly all of them will be found printed in one or other of the following books - The Annual Register; the Appendices to James's Naval and Military Occurrences of the war; Brannan's Oficial Letters of tne Military and Naval Oflicers of t/ze United States during the Wars wit/z Great Britain in tne Years 1812 to 1815, Washington City, 1823; and the Documentary History of the Campaigns upon tne Niagara Frontier, collected and edited for the Lundy's Lane His torical Society, by lieut.-col. E. Cruikshank, to whom students of the war owe a debt of gratitude. The different printed versions of the dispatches in these books do not always quite tally with each other. Among other Canadian books I have consulted Mr. Brymner's Reports on Canadian Archives; the second volume of Christie's History of tbe late Province of Lower Canada, 1849; Professor Hannay's History of tne War of 1812 and the eighth volume of Kingsford's History of Canada. Six out of the eight maps which accompany the letterpress are cotemporary American maps, which the Delegates of the Clarendon Press have been good enough to reproduce. They are from a little volume in the Colonial Office Library, entitled Military and Topograpnical Atlas of Me United States including tne Britisli Possessions and Florida, &c., by John M elish, Philadelphia, 1813. I wish to express my warm acknow ledgments to Mr. C. Atchley, Librarian of the Colonial Office, for constant and kindly help given to me in this as in other books.

Download or read book History of the War of 1812 Betwen Great Britain and the United States of America Classic Reprint written by James Hannay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War of 1812 Betwen Great Britain and the United States of America This book has been written for the purpose Of placing before the people of Canada, in a single volume, the story Of the defence Of our country from foreign invasion during the last war between Great Britain and the United States of America. As this defence could not have been successful but for the hearty cooperation of our ancestors, the people of Canada of that day, this war ought to be regarded as Canada's first and greatest contribution to the work of em pire building, for the fervent loyalty, which a few years ago, sent so many of the sons of Canada to fight the battles of Great Britain in South Africa, received its first illustration on the battlefields of the War of 1812. I have not thought it necessary to burden the pages of this book with foot notes and references to authorities, because the Official sources of our knowledge of the war are so few in number as to render such references unnecessary. For the movements of the armies, the numbers of the British troops engaged, and the losses of the latter, I have relied on the British official despatches. For the numbers Of the American armies and their losses, I have accepted the Ameri can Official despatches, except where they were manifestly in error.
