Book excerpt: Excerpt from Captain John Smith The beginning of the United States, the very foundation of our great English-speaking nation, was laid in Virginia at Jamestown. Here was the first community that actually made its home within our land, and proved to the world that America might grow into a nation. The Virginian settlement was made only after many efforts - after more than one disastrous failure, and at the cost of many lives. It had to fight against famine, pestilence, and enemies, and in its fight it had many leaders. One by one these were tried and found wanting, until the rise to power of Captain John Smith, who proved victorious against every foe. What he was and how he had succeeded we shall see in reading his life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Smith Gentleman Adventurer The history of the world furnishes few lives so romantic and replete with stirring incident as that of John Smith, the founder of the first English colony in America - that settlement at Jamestown in Virginia, of which the United States of today is the outgrowth. John Smith began life in the year 1580, in the glorious reign of Good Queen Bess. It was a world of turmoil into which our hero came, but a most fitting field for so adventurous a spirit. In France, the gallant Henry of Navarre was fighting for a kingdom and his faith against the Catholic League. In the Low Countries, the sturdy Dutchmen, under Maurice of Orange, were defending their homes from the invasion of the arrogant and bigoted Spaniard, who deemed it his duty to punish every Protestant people. In the east of Europe, the Ottomans - Asiatics from Turkestan and other countries - maintained an incessant and savage warfare against the subjects of the Emperor of Germany. There was but one peaceful spot In all Christendom, and that the "right little, tight little island" of our forefathers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain John Smith was one of the most insightful and colorful writers to visit America in the colonial period. While his first venture was in Virginia, some of his most important work concerned New England and the colonial enterprise as a whole. The publication in 1986 of Philip Barbour's three-volume edition of Smith's works made available the complete Smith opus. In Karen Ordahl Kupperman's new edition her intelligent and imaginative selection and thematic arrangement of Smith's most important writings will make Smith accessible to scholars, students, and general readers alike. Kupperman's introductory material and notes clarify Smith's meaning and the context in which he wrote, while the selections are large enough to allow Captain Smith to speak for himself. As a reasonably priced distillation of the best of John Smith, Kupperman's edition will allow a wide audience to discover what a remarkable thinker and writer he was.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of John Jay Smith You know, my good cousin, my love of family history is not unlike your own; and when you indulged me with a read ing of your manuscript, written so many years ago, you must remember how surprised I was at being made acquainted with many facts and incidents in the domestic history of our com mon ancestry such as were entirely new to me. It struck me as strictly a duty for some of us to perpetuate the record of so many honorable and virtuous progenitors. To do so properly was manifestly a laborious task. You were some seven years my senior; you knew more of the antecedents of our family; in fact no living member of it could so well as you perform this duty for those who are to come after us. To lighten this labor I offered to share it with you, - you recording, and I collating, arranging, and copying the facts and recollections I was anxious should be preserved.

Download or read book President John Smith written by Frederick Upham Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from President John Smith: The Story of a Peaceful Revolution (Written in 1920) The capitalist is helpless. The banker is helpless. The 11workman is helpless. The statesman is - but there are no statesmen. The most remarkable fact is that the American peo ple seem to regard the existing state of affairs as some thing natural, a thing to be expected. Certain stupid reasons are advanced for this wholesale poverty, this stupendous waste of capital and wealth. We have be come accustomed to the presence of this vast standing army of the idle, and charity is now a science.' We seem unable to realize that this condition of affairs is an awful mistake, a colossal and unnatural crime, an atrocious and unparalleled outrage. The dark pages of history, reciting the cruelties of barbaric ages, tell no tale which can match in horror the awful tragedy of 1893-94 innocent people condemned through the long months of winter to idleness, pauper ism, suicide and crime in a free country, under the stars and stripes of a republic. We have been schooled to expect a recurrence of these periods of hard times. The majority of our peo ple believe that such periods have always prevailed, that they cannot be averted, and that it is patriotic to submit patiently to such seasons of suffering.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Tribute to John Smith and Martha Pickens Believing that a family history is of priceless value, and that many members of the Smith - Pickens family have long yearned for such a record, I have decided to pick up the broken threads as they have been handed down to me, and weave this cloth of gold - rich in quality and texture. Of the present generation little is written, because it is known to each of us, and later, when other generations shall come on, we shall look to one of the younger ones to write another book and record our deeds. In the history of all royal families we find noble deeds, fame and grandeur in all forms, but just as promi nent do we find shame, disgrace and all forms of corrup tion. While our family history reveals no heretofore um surpassed fame, yet it is exceptionally free from disgrace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Smith, Democrat; His Two Days' Canvass (Sunday Included): For the Office of Mayor of the City of Bunkumville Mr. Publisher: John made me promise if I should ever have this MS. printed that I would explain his present views, as he anticipates, like one or two other American citizens, to be "dragged out" again for some office, by "many voters." He don't wish it understood that he applies these old by-gone charges of little things to his present constituency. Not at all; he wishes them to understand that he has a larger opinion of their qualifications as workers and voters now; and with all the advantages they have enjoyed in the meantime of a liberal political education, he is certain that in the next canvass he can confidently look for vastly bigger things. Comprehensively, against no particular nationality that exercises a controlling influence in politics, he brings no particular charge of no particular corruption. This sweeping disavowal he hopes satisfactory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
