Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pride of War 'Anarchist!' replied Alfonso Zirilli to the question of the non-commissioned officer. All the men in the ranks stretched their necks and stared at their bold comrade. Those who knew Alfonso already, smiled approvingly; the rest shook their heads or opened their mouths in astonishment. All of them silently wondered what punishment would be meted out to the conscript. The expression on the face of the sergeant scarcely changed. He had heard the same answer often before, although never, perhaps, given with such open malignity. His glance lingered a moment longer than necessary on Alfonso Zirilli. If there were anything to be read there, it was a mingling of contempt and pity. Alfonso stood before him stooping, his whole bearing as unsoldierly as possible. He felt a little afraid of this cold tranquillity; but rage and anger still held in him the upper hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Prosperity brings pride. And pride brings war again. Shall the world settle down to the faith that there is no redemption from an everlasting round of pride, war, poverty, peace, prosperity, pride, and war again?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Story of Dillwyn Parrish Starr Apart from my affection for my son I have been impelled to compile this short memoir by my pride in his very gallant record, and by a desire to tell his friends, whom I believe to be interested, the details of his two years' war service. A soldier comrade of his writes me, on learning that the manuscript is finished: "May I read it? I knew that he kept a diary and know some of his experiences, though there are some parts that I do not know. And as a record of good work finely done your book will be worth reading." To make it worth reading and make it worthy of him has been my rather ambitious purpose. I can only approximately accomplish this. But I shall have given him my homage and shall have done for him all that is left for me to do since he has gone "over the top," never to return.

Book excerpt: “From the moment I read the words [my great-grandmother] Frances Anne Rollin wrote in Boston on January 1, 1868—“The year renews its birth today with all its hopes and sorrows”—she became my beacon, the foremother who would finally share with me our collective past . . . —From the Preface Originally published to rave reviews, Pride of Family is the dazzling true story of an upper middle-class African American clan—and four generations of extraordinary women. Carole Ione, rebel daughter from a long line of rebel daughters, traces her heritage from her mother, Leighla, a sad and lovely journalist, actress, and composer; to glamorous grandmother Be-Be, the popular restaurateur and former showgirl; to upright great-aunt Sistonie, one of Washington’s first black female physicians; and, finally, to great-grandmother Frances Anne Rollin, the indomitable feminist-abolitionist. It is through her great-grandmother’s brilliant diaries that Ione finds enlightenment—a deep connection to the women she cherishes and the proud, glorious history they share.

N ot a little, selfish, shrewd part, nor even a strong and ambitious part, but a high - minded, generous, a noble part. Our one fixed doctrine of international policy is founded in a fine chivalry, and all the resources of this conquered continent are the common property of all peoples. Indeed, it is not going beyond the truth to say that When we look deeply into the American heart we Will surely and always find a living and growing sense of trusteeship underlying our rights of possession. We see superficialities Which make for doubt sometimes. We swing off into eddies and by-currents and are led to believe that the main stream is a myth, that after all this is a world for getting, and getting any way one can, for doing and doing what at the time is profit able.

Download or read book Tar Heel War Record written by J. R. Graham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tar-Heel War Record: In the Great World War North Carolina may well feel a strong thrill of pride when the noble enterprise of its men and women during the period of the great world conflict is rehearsed. The men were eager and willing to respond to Old Glory's call to arms and the women at home lost no time in busying themselves in things intended to lessen the suffering of those over-seas. The splen did manhood of the Old North State manifested itself time and again on the field of battle and on the high seas: How many times a North Carolinian's name went down into imper ishable fame for deeds of valor and self sacrifice in behalf of the greatest cause of all time. The women at home, God bless them, spurred them on to high purpose, fired their souls with memories of their illustrious ancestors in the days of '64 and afforded them that warmth of love and trust and faith that kept them from doing not less than the best that was in them. Many of our women went overseas as nurses, and canteen workers, and one is sure that their very presence was a blessing to our men. At home in the great drives for humane institutions they surpassed themselves in the good they accomplished. Within the covers of this book are presented symposiums of many who gave of themselves and of their substance that the world might be made safe to live in and that the despots of Europe might be erased from the maps of the future generations. When one views the war in retrospection it is then that these sketches gain the significance that give them the place in every North Carolina home that they deserve. There is doubtless in this book mention of some loved one, set forth in all truthfulness, that gives. Him or her a little firmer hold on our heart. The publishers have spent considerable time, money and effort in bringing out this book, but the compensation that is theirs in feeling that they have produced a work worth while is worth more than the material gain to be derived from their labors. As it goes to press the writer is looking over several of the proof sheets. He sees many of his dearest friends in the eulogies and one in particular who has died since the book was planned. He was a veteran of the overseas army and contracted trouble of the stomach from which he never fully recovered and which finally resulted in his death. He was a modest fel low, the best friend that one could desire, and when I wrote up a brief review of his service I did so with due modesty, for I knew well how strongly he would object to anything flowery. He just simply wanted the plain facts, without frills. And that is the way he lived and of such men North Carolina is justly proud. For he is typical of the fineness of the manhood of the state.
