Download or read book Splendid Deeds of American Heroes on Sea and Land Vol 1 written by Bishop Samuel Fallows and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Splendid Deeds of American Heroes on Sea and Land, Vol. 1: Embracing a Comprehensive Summary of the Glorious Naval and Military Events From Washington to Dewey; Living Issues In the portion of this work which treats of "Splendid Deeds" we are brought face to face with the question: "Is war ever justifiable?" And, connected with this interrogatory, is the further question: "Should the deeds of war be enlarged upon and even glorified?" The admirable words of the Rev. F. A. Noble, D. D., which follow this introduction, uttered in the presence of many of the brave heroes of our great civil war, will answer fully the first question. We may say in reply to the second interrogation, that no nation which is worthy to live can sever itself from its past history and disparage the deeds of the men who have helped give it life, continuance, progress and glory. God has put the martial spirit in the breasts of men. It is not a mere survival of a savage ancestry. It is to be a constant force. The youthful spirit must be ever ready to do and dare. Woe to that people when the fires of a generous, self-sacrificing enthusiasm among them shall have died out. Until the better day shall come, as come it surely will, when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more, we must have a well disciplined army and a formidable navy. We must be ready to maintain our providential position among the nations of the earth. By the very possession of the warlike means of self-preservation, and by the unquestioned ability to use them, we shall be able to secure ultimately the peace of mankind. In the unfolding years the martial spirit will not be displayed in the maiming and killing of men. It will find its expression in fighting the great moral battles which will be constantly imminent, until the millennial glory shall flood the globe. In "Splendid Deeds" we have narrated the conflicts with England, with Mexico, with our brethren of the South, with Spain and with the Filipinos. The wars are all over, thank God, except the contest with the guerrilla bands in our island possessions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier.

In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderful Deeds and Adventures: A Collection of Stirring Scenes and Moving Accidents All the world loves a lover, Says Emerson, which is true enough, and it is also true that all the world idolizes a hero. It is the heroic deed that wins the quickest recognition. The man who plunges into the sea to save a fellow-man, a fireman who dashes through the flames to the rescue of a human being, either one Of these is a hero, possessed of the same spirit that discovers continents or leads armies to victory. In the breast of every man, woman, or child that ever lived the love of the heroic burns. Every man may not be a hero himself, but he is a craven soul, indeed, if he does not admire the heroic quality in other men. Stories Of adventure by land or sea are the sort of reading to place in the hands of boys. True stories of adventure, of heroism - this is the intellectual food to give the young. Let them become saturated with such stories as the charge of the Light Brigade, for bravery; the adventures of Alexander Henry among the Indians, for long suffering Captain Webb's Channel swim, for courage the Hunt for a Murderer, for perseverance under difficulties.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Golden Deeds of All Times and All Lands There is a cloud of doubt resting on a few of the tales, which it may be honest to mention, though they were far too beautiful not to tell. These are the details of the Gallic occupation of Rome, the Legend of St. Genevieve, the Letter of Gertrude von der Wart, the stories of the Keys of Calais, of the Dragon of Rhodes, and we fear we must add, both Nelson's plan of the battle of the Nile, and likewise the exact form of the heroism of young Casabianca, of which no two accounts agree. But it was not possible to give up such stories as these, and the thread of truth there must be in them has developed into such a beautiful tissue, that even if unsubstantial when tested, it is surely delight ful to contemplate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Volunteers' Roll of Honor: A Collection of the Noble and Praiseworthy Deeds Performed in the Cause of the Union by the Heroes of the Army and Navy of the United States There is but one theme which will satisfy this desire, and that is the glorious and noble deeds performed in their country's behalf, both on land and sea, by our gallant, our invincible volunteers.

He went on shore and got some milk for him, and bought some pieces of linen; and, as he had little to do, he spent his time in making them into shirts.

He had a hand almost as hard as flint, and a voice that sounded as rough as a tin horn. But his hard hand never was rough to the little creature that he had in charge; and his voice, when he spoke to it, was softened into kindness.
