Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brave Deeds of American Sailors The news Of the attack on the men at Lexington had run like a fire through the countryside. The patriots had gathered about Concord and met the redcoats with a hail of bullets. The redcoats had turned back to Boston, unable to destroy most Of the stores, which had been buried or hidden. They had been beset all the way by the farmers and townspeople, firing on them from behind walls and trees. The redcoats, on the run, with their tongues hanging out Of their mouths, had been saved from destruction or surrender at last only by the timely arrival of reinforcements from Boston. All this they told the men of Machias, over and over again, adding many details to each repetition to freshen the story. The little town Of Machias had not been greatly disturbed by British rule. They were far from the center Of things, and not in any way important/ Only one thing had they suffered at the hands of King George. All the tallest and straightest pines in their forests had been set apart for the use Of the English navy; no woodman could lay axe to them without incurring the royal displeasure and punish ment. Even now there were two British sloops in the harbor, under the protection Of a British armed schooner, the Margaretta, loading lumber to be made into barracks for the redcoats in Boston.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History for Little Folks This little volume is intended to be a supplementary reading-book on American history for use in the third grade of our public schools, and for other boys and girls from ten to twelve years of age. A few of the more dramatic and picturesque events in the history of our country are here presented in a simple and easy style. They have much of human interest, and are full of action. Professor Hinsdale, in his "How to Study and Teach History," well says that a bit of romance, poetry, anecdote, or story will often throw more light on a historical situation or let you deeper into a man's heart and life than a page of careful analysis or a laborious description. These stories rest on a historical basis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Navy in America NO proud port was Machias. A seaside village rather, its people mainly haymakers, for it lay amid grassy meadows beside its bay. But there were woodsmen among its population who knew how to swing an axe and bring down the giants Of the Maine forests; and it had, no doubt, its share Of men Of the sea, for the ports of New England in those days were Often busy scenes of ocean ventures. The people of Machias did not love King George. All the tall, straight trees in their woods were reserved to make masts for British ships, and no woodsman dared set axe to one Of their giant pines for fear of seizure by the agents Of the king. It was not to their liking, then, when, on a May morning in 1775, a small fleet sailed into their quiet harbor, consisting Of the Margaretta, a British armed schooner, and two lops sent to get lumber for the fortifications at Boston.

Download or read book John Paul Jones written by Evan Thomas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller from master biographer Evan Thomas brings to life the tumultuous story of the father of the American Navy. John Paul Jones, at sea and in the heat of the battle, was the great American hero of the Age of Sail. He was to history what Patrick O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey and C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower are to fiction. Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, “in harm’s way.” Evan Thomas’s minute-by-minute re-creation of the bloodbath between Jones’s Bonhomme Richard and the British man-of-war Serapis off the coast of England on an autumn night in 1779 is as gripping a sea battle as can be found in any novel. Drawing on Jones’s correspondence with some of the most significant figures of the American Revolution—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson—Thomas’s biography teaches us that it took fighters as well as thinkers, men driven by dreams of personal glory as well as high-minded principle, to break free of the past and start a new world. Jones’s spirit was classically American.

But yesterday they were babies; now he is a great boy, clamoring for trousers with vast, mysterious pockets; and she, dear little girl, is a mother, caressing her dolls with an infinity Of maternal graces. Could they but stay young! Were there but a fountain, like the one in these stories, to keep them forever safe in a mother's arms. It is sad to think Of their ever leaving Baby land. There is no country like unto this beautiful bourn Of our children. Here are the dim, magic forests, the enchanted castles, the deep, hidden caves, the secret tree - hollows, where dwell sparrows and fairies and lost little children. In this land the princess is ever young and ever beautiful; the bold Prince Charming slays always the wicked, watchful dragon; the fierce Ogre, with his one malevolent eye forever eats the tender children at his ravenous evening meal. The land is always full, yet always filling; the sun is forever shining, and flowers spring up under the patter Of little feet. Here bad is bad, and good is good, and always the good comes true. For is there not a fairy godmother to save the Child from all the childish evil in the world? What a land Of adventure it is! What daring deeds! What heroic exploits! The little white crib, into which we tuck him so tenderly - why, that is no crib at all! It is a great ship, with flapping sails unfurled, creaking under stress Of storm and sea, sailing oceans unknown to lands Of which we have never heard. It is also a locomotive, a dizzy air - ship, an automobile, and, inturn, a fort, a palace, a forest and a wicked robber's cave. Resolutely the little captain, aeronaut, king, robber and police man marches through all this brave realm Of limitless adventure. Only too soon the child must leave this warm, fair land, and, losing his baby's heritage, enter upon the schoolboy's_ estate. The wicked giants, the fairy princesses, the wonderful, magic animals who talk and think, vanish forever before the spelling book and arithmetic. A little learning is a dangerous thing.
