This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maxims of James Abram Garfield, General, Patriotic, Political Congressional literature receives but little attention in this country. Too much of its bulk is but the saw-dust of debate, the dry chips that some dreary orator strikes from the block of a tiresome subject. In consequence, much that is valuable, powerful, and eloquent of national life, appearing in speeches that are the exception to the rule, is missed by the vast majority. Thousands will probably read with surprise, not being aware of their existence, the clever, philosophical, manly and patriotic maxims that are printed in the following pages, taken entirely from the public utterances of the Republican nominee for the Presidency. It is, indeed, remarkable how thickly his speeches - which are never dry - are studded with jewels of utterance. The compiler has made no attempt at elaborate classification. The maxims have been arranged so as to bear a certain relation of subject, and such notes as are necessary have been added. The title of "Maxims" is entirely the selection of the Compiler. The beauty, the wit and wisdom of much that General Garfield has uttered cannot but win its way to an abiding place in the hearts of the American people, and serve to bring them into closer relation with the admirable sentiments of the man who has been nominated to the highest post of honor in this Republic.

Book excerpt: James A. Garfield (1831-1881) was the 20th President of the United States. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1863 to 1881. He is the only president to have been an ordained clergyman and was president of Hiram College in Ohio, and a general in the Civil War. Widely read, he had a propensity for apt pithy observations on life. His presidency lasted only 200 days as he was shot by a disgruntled office seeker on July 2, 1881 and died some weeks later. One of his sons, Harry Garfield, was the longest serving president of Williams College and a close friend of Woodrow Wilson. Harry maintained a home in Washington at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue, which is now the headquarters of Westphalia Press and the Policy Studies Organization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garfield's Words: Suggestive Passages From the Public and Private Writings of James Abram Garfield The attention pain in this country to the literature of Congress and the literature of the stump is trifling. This, possibly, is excusable, as much of it is but the sawdust of debate, the dry chips that some prosy orator hews from the block of a tire some topic. Literary brilliancies are seldom expected from political successes. In consequence much that is valuable, powerful, and eloquent of national life, appearing in speeches that are the exception to the rule, is missed by the majority. The reader will, probably, read with surprise - not being aware of their existence - the clever, philosophical, manly, and patriotic sayings that are printed in the following pages. They are compiled from the public utterances and the private letters oi our late President. It is indeed remarkable how thickly his speeches and letters are studded with jewels of utterance.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republican d104-Book for the Campaign of Full a Full History of General James a Garfield's Public Life: With Other Political Information It is proper to add that the author was strongly solicited by a Chicago firm to write a life of General Garfield. This he would have done, had it not been for the General's desire that he should undertake the present work. It may be further added that the author has known General Garfield intimately for nearly thirty years that he has been a close and interested observer of his life as student, teacher, soldier, and statesman; and that he has spared no pains to make this work, in all that relates to General Garfield's public life, full and authentic. The General himself has materially contributed to this end by furnishing interesting lines of inquiry. However, he is responsible for nothing found in this book, except what is quoted from him in terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Works of James Abram Garfield Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by James A. Garfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of James Abram Garfield, Vol. 1 Garfield discussed most frequently and fully, the mat ter is almost always new and the diction fresh. And even when he finds facts, arguments, or quotations that he has met before, he will find them in new combina tions and answering new purposes. Some readers may perhaps say that the historical illustration of the text, at least in some cases, is exces sive. Such readers should remember, first, that the works of our older statesmen have often suffered from lack of such illustration; secondly, that the subjects with which President Garfield dealt, particularly in the early part of his public life, are rapidly receding; and, thirdly, that no adequate life of him has yet appeared, or is likely to appear for some time to come. Con cerning the second of these points, - the rapidity with which events in our age pass into history, - a few words may well be spoken. As long ago as February, 1876, he himself touched one phase of this subject. More than a million votes, said he, will be cast at the next Presidential election by men who were schoolboys in their primers when the great financial measures of 1862 were adopted; and they do not realize how fast or how far the public mind has drifted. The logbook of this extraordinary voyage cannot be read too often In fact, it is not extravagant to say that there are hun dreds of thousands of young Americans today who know no more of the events of 1862 than they do of the events of 1776, if indeed they know so much. If the historical commentary is too full for some readers, it is not for others; and for none will it be too full in the next generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Garfield as a Statesman and Orator: Paragraphs From His Speeches in Congress and on the Stump We shall never know why slavery dies so hard in this Republic and in this hall until we know why sin has such longevity and Satan is immortal. With marvellous tenacity of existence, it has outlived the expectations of its friends and the hopes of its enemies. It has been declared here and elsewhere to be in all the several stages of mortality - wounded, moribund, dead. The question was raised by my colleague (Mr. Cox) yesterday, whether it was indeed dead or only in a troubled sleep. I know of no better illustration of its condition than is found in Sallust's admirable history of the great conspirator, Catiline, who when his final battle was fought and lost, his army broken and scattered, was found far in advance of his own troops, lying among the dead enemies of Rome, yet breathing a little, but exhibiting in his countenance all that ferocity of spirit which had characterized his life. So, sir, this body of slavery lies before us among the dead enemies, of the Republic, mortally wounded, impotent in its fiendish wickedness, but with its old ferocity of look, bearing the unmistakable marks of its infernal origin. Who does not remember that thirty years ago - a short period in the life of a nation - but little could be said with impunity in these halls on the subject of slavery?

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
