Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes in Gray To the children and grandchildren of the men who wore the gray this book is dedicated. It is only right that the children of the Southland know the full meaning of their birthright. No one can object that the truth be told them. It is unjust to the Southland and to those who followed the Stars and Bars to death and to glory not to let the true history of the years 1861 to 1865 be known. If our children are left in ignorance as to this history they may grow up feeling that they have the blood of traitors in their veins. Nothing will stir the blood of our sons to become true and noble men more than to know the history of such men as Lee "whose trust was ever in the God of battles, of Jackson who never fought before he prayed, of the Southern woman who nursed the sick soldier, who struggled at home while husbands and fathers fought, who gave their dearest men to the 'cause, ' yet never wavered in their loyalty to it."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes Every Child Should Know: Tales for Young People of All the World's Heroes in All Ages They had worked and thought and dreamed only a little time before they began to explain the marvelous earth on which they found themselves and the strange things that happened in it; the vastness and beauty of the fields, woods, sky and sea, the force of the wind, the com ing and going of the day and night, the warmth of sum mer when everything grew, and the cold of winter when everything died, the rush of the storm and the terrible brightness Of the lightning. They had no idea of what we call law or force; they could not think of anything being moved or any noise being made unless there was some one like themselves to move things and make sounds; and so they made stories of gods and giants and heroes and nymphs and fawns; and the myths, which are poetic explanations of the world and of the life of men in it, came into being.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Heroes: Boys and Men; A Record of the Past, and an Inspiration for the Future Actions speak louder than words, as the proverb puts it; and a book of heroes is a chronicle of deeds more eloquent than speech, and of more powerful appeal than printed panegyrics. Sincerit'y, says Carlyle, is the saving merit, a. L certainly it is a quality of universal commendation. I ven the least sincere are at least sincere enough to aspect sincerity. Bravery may, and often does, exist apart from sincerity; but it is the moral touch of sincerity that lifts it to the plane of the heroic. A great man is always sincere, as a first condition of him, says Carlyle but a man need not be great in order to be sincere. And then he adds, as if for the encouragement of all, If hero mean sincere man, why may not every one of us be heroes?

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Veteran's Story Dedicated to the Heroes Who Wore the Gray During long Winter evening's the old farmer Veteran, whose retentive memory dwells on the events of the past, has told his children the incidents and stories of his soldier life in the army of Northern Virginia. At last the thought occurred to me: Why not get him to begin at the day when his company, "The Jasper Grays," left their homes in the rugged hills of old Jasper county, Miss., to go out to battle for the Southern cause, and tell the events of the four year's conflict in rotation 'till he came back home a weary, foot-sore soldier, after the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox? In thought he carries us with him through fertile valleys where war raged wild and fierce, o'er winding mountain passes and in toilsome marches along the Potomac, James and Rappahannock. In imagination, we view with rapture the grandeur of the scenery in the fair Virginia clime. Awe fills our souls while he tells of the soldier life of Southern men when the snow and sleet had mantled valley, plain and mountain. He tells of the sentinel who stood at his post of duty for many lonely hours, keeping vigil while a weary army slumbered. Through the four year's strife, amid cannon boom and rattle of musketry, that stifled the moan of wounded and dying, the Veteran has taken us in story, showing the heroic endurance of the men in Gray and telling the greatness of the two unrivalled warriors - Lee and Jackson.

Download or read book The Bride s Hero Classic Reprint written by M. P. Revere and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bride's Hero Both volumes are here in my writing-desk. I was looking them over a little before beginning this. I never called my book a diary; one hears so much fun being made of girls who keep diaries. But then, most girls have some one to whom they can go and tell their troubles, or the fun they have, or to ask advice. I have nobody at all, for any one who knows Aunt Dora would know I could n't say things I really care for in my heart to her. My first volume I called Letters to my Darling Mother. I wonder what Aunt Dora would say if she saw that inscription? She would think something was very wrong with my head. Oh, how glad I am she '11 never know about my books! How glad I am that I shan't really have to hear her say anything about them! For it's hopeless arguing with Aunt Dora. You begin a subject, and she snaps you up with a snubby sort of answer that finishes the matter and you at the same time, making you feel a Worm. Only, of course, she hardly ever does it to Marguerite, or to new acquaintances; only to people she is tired of, and impatient with, like me. I used to feel, somehow, as if my mother might come back and read those letters of mine to her, maybe while I was asleep. I used always to imagine myself asking her advice about things, and then I 'd dream that she told me what I ought to do, or comforted me when I was miserable. I never had time to know my mother very well, or she me, in this world because she died before I was three. But sometimes, m flashes, it seems as if I an remember her. I distinctly see a beautiful young face, close to mine, bending over me when I 'm in bed. It is a small oval face, without much color, and it has a sweet, curved mouth, the upper lip shaped like a how. The eyes are gray, the color of slate, with golden brown spots round the pupils; and they look at me from under long, dark lashes that curl up softly. I can see her little, delicate nose, with sensitive nostrils, and her brown hair parted in the middle, and spraying into what I like to call love locks over her forehead. It 's a pretty word, and one finds it in poetry or old fashioned stories about sweet heroines of other times; so it seems to suit my mother, for I think of her as being rather old-fashioned, or, anyhow, not hard and brilliant like the mothers of a great many girls I know especially not at all like Aunt Dora, who says I am old-fashioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old World Hero StoriesIT is not so many years since the school history was practi cally a dry chronicle of discoveries, settlements, and wars. A narrative that was in any degree personal and anecdotal was gazed upon askance as being necessarily unscholarly and undignified. Discoveries and settlements and wars there must be, and accounts of them must be written and made familiar; but the one and only way to bring past issues into the life of a child with any vividness is first to interest him in the actors themselves. Carlyle says that history is at bot tom the history of the great men who have worked here. There is no better introduction to the study of the Augustan Age than the story of the life of Augustus; no better way to arouse interest in the philosophy of Plato and Socrates than the tales of their lives.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
