Book excerpt: The period of the Indian war of 1676, known as King Philip's war, is one of the most interesting in the early history of the New England colonies.

The lesson that union is strength was learned at that time and was never forgotten. New England, after the war, free from fear of any Indian attacks, was able to turn her attention to her own peaceful industrial and political development undisturbed.

Download or read book Tracing Your Boer War Ancestors written by Jane Marchese Robinson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boer War took place between 1899 and 1902, just 15 years before the start of the First World War. Some 180,00 Britons , mainly volunteers , traveled 6,000 miles to fight and die in boiling conditions on the veld and atop ‘kopjes’. Of the over 20,000 who died more than half suffered enteric, an illness consequent on insanitary water. This book will act as an informative research guide for those seeking to discover and uncover the stories of the men who fought and the families they left behind. It will look in particular at the kind of support the men received if they were war injured and that offered to the families of the bereaved. Some pensions were available to regular soldiers and the Patriotic Fund, a charitable organization , had been resurrected at the beginning of the conflict. However for those who did not fit these categories the Poor Law was the only support available at the time. The book will explore a variety of research materials such as: contemporary national and local newspapers; military records via websites and directly through regimental archives; census, electoral, marriage and death records; records at the National Archives including the Book of Wounds from the Boer War, the Transvaal Widows’ Fund and others.

This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Year of the War in North Carolina, Including Plymouth, Fort Fisher and Bentonsville: An Address Before the Association Army of Northern Virginia, Delivered in the Hall of the House of Delegates, Richmond, Va., October 28, 1887 At any time, but more especially so soon after the memot able exercises and the soul-stirring oration of yesterday, it would be impossible for any true soldier of the Confederacy to perform the duty with which you have so highly honored me this evening, with out experiencing emotions to which it would be happier for him if he were insensible. The ood of memories which it turns loose, let him philosophize as he may, will overwhelm him, and the consciousness that the ranks of his living comrades are daily dwindling does not tend to diminish the power of these emotions. If he could divest himself of them entirely, and look at that past as he would at any other period of human history - without personal interest and with the calm gaze of a student - this duty would te solve itself into a mere literary exercise; but, thank God, who has given to each of us a spark of the divine attribute of love, such a passionless regard of that past is impossible, for the pictures it has painted on our memories it has also engraved upon our hearts. In the years that have passed since the close of our bloody drama, how often in the silent watches of the night, and even in the pursuit of our ordinary avocations, has each of us found himself contempla ting those pictures with all the varying emotions which they awaken! Their lines have grown softer beneath the mellowing touch of Time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
