Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars: With an Account of Author's Desperate Leap From a Swiftly Moving Train of Cars, and a Fatiguing Tramp of 1, 000 Miles Through Three Confederate States, in Making His Escape From a Prison-Pen At the earnest and repeated solicitations of many citizens I present this volume to the public, the chief of objects of which is to preserve in convenient form many personal incidents which enlivened the war for American Liberty - 1775-1783 - as well as the war for the preservation of the Union - 1861-1865. The sketches of the Revolutionary War are founded upon legends I fondly heard when a youth from revolutionary sires and their descendants, as well as from official reports and statements appearing in the newspapers of that period, while those relating to the Civil War furnished by the actors, some of whom are still living, are given that the heroic actions of my comrades may not be effaced by time, nor their wondrous deeds deprived of renown. The modest work is submitted with the fond hope that it may revive proud recollections in the hearts of all true Americans, and inspire them with patriotism and greater love of country, for which its braves sacrificed so much.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Times and Men in Ashfield, Mass;, During the Revolutionary War And upon examining a list of the patriotic I am impressed with the thought, that so large a proproportion of them did so. Seven out of twelve of those who were of suitable age. Two men it appears were enduring hard service under Washington. Mr. Stocking had nine men to guard in his house because of their Tory sympathy. So we see the efforts of the newly and thinly settled districts were to the extent of their ability; though our estimate does not comprise the most thickly settled districts as No 1, 2, and 8. For at this late day, I am unable to learn where all their men were. Then our fathers were wise enough to do more than put forth determined efforts. They earnestly sought for assistance from "the great Judge of the Universe." Not only soldiers went on; their minister went as a chaplain. The Rev. Nehemiah Porter left Ashfield soon after the 16th of August and did not return until after the surrender of Burgoyne. His serving as chaplain in Gen. Gates' army is the great historical event of Ashfield, though Dr. Paine does not allude to it in his history of the town. Yet it may be safely claimed, that it would be profitable to every friend of our country to know about his services to it, in the time of its trial. But though I have for nearly twenty years been endeavoring to find something published or written about them, I have found only a few sentences. I am obliged, therefore, to rely upon traditional reports. They inform us that at one time the army was assembled for prayer, and Mr. Porter engaged so long and earnestly in prayer, a profane soldier said, "I don't want to live until that man gets done praying." From what Dr. Thatcher, a surgeon in the army, has recorded in his journal, we infer this assembling of the soldiers was on the Sabbath, just before Gen. Gates marched north to meet Burgoyne. And the next day he wrote and issued his proclamation, encouraging the Americans to expect the help of Heaven. It seems evident Gates was inspired with this encouraging assurance to his men, by hearing Mr. Porter's prayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Revolutionary War in America: With Sketches of Character of Persons the Most Distinguished, in the Southern States, for Civil and Military Services The author cannot sufficiently lament that he had but little share in the achievement of those important events which fixed the independency of the United States. His heart from the earliest dawn of the Revolution was devoted to the cause of his country, and he would have been first in the ranks of her armies but the Revolution found him a youth in Europe, in pursuit of his Colle giate studies, and a parent's mandate forbid it. When age permitted his return to America, his fortunes without a murmur were sacrificed to his principles, and his life. To have promoted the interests of America, would have been yielded without a sigh. The public witnessed his zeal and liberally rewarded it. His general gave him his confidence and promotion. His fellow soldiers, What he must ever consider his highest honour, their friendship and esteem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
