Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prescott Mr. George S. Hillard, who wrote this essay in 1852, was a lawyer with a liking for letters. He was a personal friend of Mr. Prescott's, and such an admirer of the historian's work that when he published unsigned articles, people often said Prescott - and then was Mr. Hillard greatly pleased. His style is as broadly generous and calmly flowing as the Niagara just below the Falls: only a Lake Erie of words, and a cataract of ideas could supply it. And if he chose to speak of a man's mother as his im mediate maternal ancestor, or a boat ride as an aquatic excursion it surely was his legal right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Albert Benjamin Prescott Albert Benjamin Prescott was born in Hastings, Oswego County, New York, December 12, 1832. His parents were Benjamin Prescott and Experience Huntley Prescott. Albert was the ninth generation in lineage from John Prescott of Standish, Lancashire, England, who came to Boston in 1640. Of the same lineage were also William H. Prescott, the distinguished historian, and his grandfather, Colonel William Prescott, the commander in the battle of Bunker Hill. On a farm located near the then flourishing village of Hastings Albert first saw the light, as the youngest of four children. The old home is still in the possession of the family, and the acre of ground given by his father for the site of a schoolhouse continues to be used for the same purpose. The father of the household was a man of unusual intelligence and refinement, quiet in manner, and a leader in the community and in the Baptist Church. His hospitable home gave welcome to ministers, teachers, and to others who were especially interested in the well-being of the church and state. He was an ardent advocate of the freedom of the slaves and prominent in all movements of social reform. The mother was a woman of rare dignity of character and repose of manner, endowed with the gifts of beauty of person and a most amiable disposition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Men of Letters: William Hickling Prescott Throughout the first few decades of the nineteenth century, the United States, though forming a political entity, were in everything but name divided into three separate nations, each one of which was quite unlike the other two. This difference sprang partly from the character of the population in each, partly from divergent tendencies in American colonial develop ment, and partly from conditions which were the result of both these causes. The culture history, therefore, of each of the three sections exhibits, naturally enough, a distinct and definite phase of intellectual activity, which is reflected very clearly in the records of American literature.

Download or read book Prescott of Saskatchewan Classic Reprint written by Harold Bindloss and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prescott of Saskatchewan The air was cooling down toward evening at Sebastian, where an unpicturesque collection of wooden houses stand upon a branch line on the Canadian prairie. The place is not attractive during the earlier portion of the short northern summer, when for the greater part of every week it lies sweltering in heat, in spite of the strong west winds that drive dust-clouds through its rutted streets. As a rule, during the remaining day or two the temperature sharply falls, thunder crashes between downpours of heavy rain, and the wet plank sidewalks provide a badly-needed refuge from the cement-like "gumbo" mire. The day, however, had been cloudless and unusually hot. Prescott had driven in from his wheat farm at some distance from the settlement, and he now walked toward the hotel. He was twenty-eight years old, of average height and rather spare figure; his face, which had been deeply bronzed by frost and sun, was what is called open, his gray eyes were clear and steady, the set of his lips and mould of chin firm. He looked honest and good-natured, but one who could, when necessary, sturdily hold his own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paul Prescott's Charge: A Story for Boys "Paul Prescott's Charge" is presented to the public as the second volume of the Campaign Series. Though wholly unlike the first volume, it is written in furtherance of the same main idea, that every boy's life is a campaign, more or less difficult, in which success depends upon integrity and a steadfast adherence to duty. How Paul Prescott gained strength by battling with adverse circumstances, and, under all discouragements, kept steadily before him the charge which he received from his dying father, is fully told; and the author will be glad if the record shall prove an incentive and an encouragement to those boys who may have a similar campaign before them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Show Excerpt y you're not smarter. Jack. But let me think----" He went into a few details about his family, and then Prescott left him and, after giving an order to have his team ready, proceeded to the station. It was getting dark, but the western sky was still a sheet of wonderful pale green, against which the tall elevators stood out black and sharp. The head-lamp of a freight locomotive flooded track and station with a dazzling electric glare, the rails that ran straight and level across the waste gleaming far back in the silvery radiance. This helped Prescott to overcome his repugnance to his task, as he remembered another summer night when he had attempted to hurry his team across the track before a ballast train came up. Startled by the blaze of the head-lamp and the scream of the whistle, one of the horses plunged and kicked; a wheel of the wagon, sinking in the loose ballast, skidded against a tie; and Prescott stood between the rails, struggling to extricate the beasts, while the great locomotive rushed d

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dick Prescott's Fourth Year at West Point: Or Ready to Drop the Gray for Shoulder Straps "Detachment halt!" commanded the engineer officer in charge. Out on the North Dock at West Point the column of cadets had marched, and now, at the word, came to an abrupt stop. This detachment, made up of members of the first and third classes in the United States Military Academy, was out on this August forenoon for instruction in actual military engineering. The task, which must be accomplished in a scant two hours, was to lay a pontoon bridge across an indentation of the Hudson River, this indentation being a few hundred feet across, and representing, in theory, an unfordable river.
