Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Bull Run to Appomattox: A Boy's View "Life is the mirror of the king and slave, 'Tis just what you are and do. Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you." I never thought that I should be guilty of writing a book. I did not, however, do this with malice aforethought. My son is responsible for whatever sin I may have committed in presenting this to the public. He and I have been good friends ever since we became acquainted, and he has always insisted upon my telling him all that I know. When he was about three years old he discovered that I had been a soldier in Lee's army from 1861 to 1865, and, although he is of Quaker descent and a loyal member of the Society of Friends, and I am half Quaker, yet he loved war stories and I loved to tell them. This accounts for the production of the book. After I had told him these stories over and over, again and again, when he was grown he insisted upon my starting at the beginning and giving him the whole of my experience in the Confederate army. Then he wanted it published. I yielded to his request, and here is the book. This is not, however, an exact copy of the typewritten manuscript which he has. The original manuscript is more personal. I thought the change would make it more acceptable to the general reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]boys has written the story as he remembers it in plain, simple language; not a history, but simply an account of what he saw and did while this eventful history was being made. If his experience is different from others, or does not accord in all respects with what the historian has written, it is because we do not all see alike. The writer has not consulted the histories for material for this story; he did not have to do this. If all the boys who served in the Confederate Army were to write their experience, they would all be different, yet all approximately correct, and perhaps, taken together, would be the most perfect history that could be written of the Confederate side of the[...]".

Book excerpt: We all believe in peace; universal peace, but when war does come, and such a costly war as the one from which this story is taken, we ought to get all the good out of it we can. The long marches along dusty roads, under hot suns, the long marches through sleet and snows, the long dreary nights without shelter, the march of the picket to and fro on his beat, the constant drilling and training, the struggle on the battlefields, all these are part of the material that the world has always used in constructing a nation.

Download or read book From Bull Run to Appomattox A Boy s View written by Luther W. Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luther Hopkins was a seventeen year old boy in Middleburg, Virginia when the Civil War broke out. He and his three brothers, along with twenty other classmates, enlisted to fight in the war. Many of this group died at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pickett's Charge.Luther stayed in the same company throughout his four years in the war - that being the 6th Virginia Cavalry. He shares his first hand experiences where he faced close saber and pistol combat, was captured twice and imprisoned, became seriously ill and watched his brothers and friends die.Luther was once assigned as part of Robert E. Lee's bodyguards and rode on a raid with the legendary John Mosby. Luther was on his way back to rejoin his company in April of 1865 when General Lee surrendered. Most of the men in Luther's squad also surrendered, but Luther, now twenty one years old, refused to give up and made his way home without surrendering.Forty years later, devoid of any bitterness and reconciled to the Union, the old Confederate recalled his personal experiences within the larger historical context. Hopkins writes from the cultural context of the late nineteenth-century South with its prejudices and wistfulness for the old days. Also, Luther was a lover of horses all his life and wrote a tribute chapter to the thousands of cavalry mounts which suffered greatly in the conflict.This is a real life story of sacrifice and heroism as seen through the eyes of a young Christian soldier caught up in one of America's most dramatic events. You will enjoy spending some time with this late high private of the 6th Virginia Cavalry - Luther W. Hopkins.
