Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Mark in Connecticut, Vol. 5: Ideals of American Life Told in Biographies and Autobiographies of Eminent Living Americans Ried by a test that rarely comes to men - and never came to T but one other man in Connecticut Frank Bentley Weeks of Middletown has proved true to his lineage and his name. Called from business affairs to a high public station, that of lieutenant governor, he was performing his duties quietly and was winning new meed of respect from his fellowmen when the stern decree of fate placed him in the chief office of the State - in the chair of the executive himself. The people turned to him in their grief Over the death of Governor Lilley and, though the standard established was of the highest, they were not to be disappointed. We know that rarely does the life of such a man begin with his own. For its true inception we look back to his ancestry. And it is to the records we must turn, since Mr. Weeks is one of those unboastful men who wish to let their name rest on what they have done or not done themselves. Such men in their hearts may have an ancestry to be proud of but they never are known to rely upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Mark Twain s Letters Volume 3 written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992-07-28 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Don't scold me, Livy—let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all women; let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question—for you are my world, my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having." These are the words of Samuel Clemens in love. Playful and reverential, jubilant and despondent, they are filled with tributes to his fiancée Olivia Langdon and with promises faithfully kept during a thirty-four-year marriage. The 188 superbly edited letters gathered here show Samuel Clemens having few idle moments in 1869. When he was not relentlessly "banged about from town to town" on the lecture circuit or busily revising The Innocents Abroad, the book that would make his reputation, he was writing impassioned letters to Olivia. These letters, the longest he ever wrote, make up the bulk of his correspondence for the year and are filled with his acute wit and dazzling language. This latest volume of Mark Twain's Letters captures Clemens on the verge of becoming the celebrity and family man he craved to be. This volume has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and by a major donation to the Friends of The Bancroft Library from the Pareto Fund.

Download or read book The War of 1812 written by Bud Hannings and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the American Revolution ended in 1783, tensions between the United States and Britain over disruptions to American trade, the impressment of American merchant sailors by British ships, and British support of Native American resistance to American expansion erupted in another military conflict nearly three decades later. Scarcely remembered in England today, the War of 1812 stood as a veritable "second war of independence" to the victorious Americans and ushered in an extended period of peaceful relations and trade between the United States and Britain. This major reference work offers a comprehensive day-by-day chronology of the War of 1812, including its slow build-up and aftermath, and provides detailed biographies of the generals who made their marks.
