Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fighting With King Albert The Allied peoples and friends all over the world have given their unstinted admiration to our valorous Army gloriously struggling against an adversary extraordinarily powerful by reason of the crushing superiority of his numbers and the long preparations which he had been making for the world-war which he has let loose. In all those countries where the remnants of our scattered nation found a refuge, the marked cordiality of their reception has in some measure assuaged the grief of the Belgian whom brute force had compelled to flee from fire and massacre. It has been said, however, to our distressed brothers, "You are paying by your sufferings for the salvation of civilised society.

Download or read book Fighting France written by Edith Wharton and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Wharton, known primarily for her novels of American high society, was also a war writer. She was one of the first woman writers to be allowed to visit the war zones in France in 1915 and report back on what she saw. This resulting collection of six essays "e; five of which were originally published in American magazines "e; presents a fascinating and unique perspective on wartime France by one of America's great novelists. Written with Wharton's distinctive literary skills to advocate American intervention in the war, this little-known war text demonstrates that she was a complex and accomplished propagandist. However, these eyewitness accounts also demonstrate a troubling awareness of the human cost of war. Incorporating a wealth of previously unpublished archival material and images, this critical edition aims to bring this neglected text into the field of Wharton studies, allowing critics and enthusiasts to reevaluate her contribution as a war writer and to assess the significance of this period for her literary development.

Download or read book Cigar Box Lithographs written by Charles J. Humber and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as this publication was ready for the printer, a very rare cigar box was listed on an internet auction site. Recognizing its rarity and extraordinary appeal, a decision was made to bid on it with the hopes of purchasing it. As author, I won. But I also knew that it was too late to include this Davy Crockett cigar box alongside the more than 100 other cigar boxes already headlined and profiled in this particular 200-page volume. After winning the bid a final decision was made to illustrate this cigar box on the back cover of this production. In so doing readers have a chance to scrutinize a very rare and a one-of-a-kind cigar box. Of course, any cigar box that lithographically headlines Davy Crockett usually identifies the famous American frontiersman with the Alamo (see this Volume, page 114) and how he and 200 Texans were killed in 1836 by Santa Anna’s 1500 strong Mexican forces. A wide-spread interest in Davy Crockett ever since has become the norm. Tennessee Ernie Ford popularized him in 1955 with his hit “The Battle of Davy Crockett”. John Wayne immortalized Davy Crockett when he played the famous frontiersman in the 1960 Hollywood blockbuster, The Alamo. The stunning lithographic print on the inside lid of a wooden cigar box made by William Simpson of Massachusetts, circa 1900, now highlights this back cover of this book and demonstrates the ultimate bravery of a young Davy Crockett protecting individuals inundated with a blizzard and petrified of wolves trying to push their way into the pioneer Log Cabin (see this Volume, pages 108- 109) that the legendary frontiersman is valiantly guarding and resolutely defending. This Davy Crocket lithographic print is one of the highlight prints of the book....
Download or read book King Alfred s Fight written by Klaus Schwanitz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ruthless time of chaos and Viking onslaught, Alfred the untested Saxon king, must fight to save his ravished land. The tale unfolds through the eyes of a young thane, Edmond, who becomes Alfred's friend and one of his mightiest warriors. He determines to join King Alfred on the swamp isle of Athelney to repulse the Danes. When Vikings overrun the land and the Saxons capitulate, this young knight trains and leads a devoted corps of pike-men to recapture Alfred's kingdom. The story starts in the year A.D. 870 in the marshes of East Anglia, where an Anglian ealdorman, his kinsman Eldred, and his son Edmund have been driven in an attempt to hide from the Danes. The Danish advance is resisted one last time by an East Anglian army led in part by Edmund's father, but the resistance is crushed and Eldred and Edmund fly south, to Wessex. But even Wessex, the last Saxon kingdom, won't defy the Danes forever... Ever mindful of his homeland's fall, young Edmund determines to fight his hardest against the brutal, bloodthirsty Viking invaders. From the marshes of Athelney, to the heart of Danish territory, to the siege of Paris and even the invasion of Sicily, Edmund and his good ship, the Dragon, fearlessly sail in search of adventure. His quest takes him all throughout Europe and lead to glory, prosperity, and finally love. The author published this book so this essential part of history would not be forgotten and so our heroes will always be honored and remembered.
Download or read book The Dragon and the Raven Or The Days of King Alfred written by G. A. Henty and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dragon and the Raven by G.A. Henty is about the tale of Edmund and King Alfred who must go to war against invaders to save the future of England. Excerpt: "Living in the present days of peace and tranquillity it is difficult to picture the life of our ancestors in the days of King Alfred, when the whole country was for years overrun by hordes of pagan barbarians, who slaughtered, plundered, and destroyed at will. You may gain, perhaps, a fair conception of the state of things if you imagine that at the time of the great mutiny the English population of India approached that of the natives and that the mutiny was everywhere triumphant."
Download or read book The Medieval Life of King Alfred the Great written by A. Smyth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-11-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few King's earn the appellation 'Great'. Alfred is the only English King honoured with this name and is credited with various successes (the foundation of a navy, English education system and religious revival). His memory looms large in the English Imagination. The medieval 'Life' of King Alfred of Wessex purports to be written by Asser, a monk in the King's service. This account of one of England's best loved and most famous kings has been accepted as offering evidence on most aspects of life in early medieval England and beyond. It was used in Victorian times to create a 'Cult' of Alfred. Alfred Smyth offers a carefully annotated translation of the 'Life' together with a long commentary. He argues that the 'Life' is a forgery which has profound implications not only for our understanding of the early English and medieval past but also for the nature of biography and history. This close scholarly rendering of the text allows the reader access to the intricacies of medieval history.
