Download or read book Recollections Of A Military Life Illustrated Edition written by General Sir John Adye GCB and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 24 maps, plans and illustrations General Sir John Adye (1819-1900) served his country over a long and victorious career in the Royal artillery. A pillar of the Victorian military establishment, his first taste of action came during the Crimean War (1853-1856) and saw as much as any man could care to in the brutal battles of Alma, Balaklava and Inkermann. He and his men were part of the bombardment of Sevastopol, his diaries are a brutal and frank reminder of the terrible conditions of the troops who fought there. Appointed to the staff in India just before the Indian Mutiny (1857-1858) during which he was involved in the retaking of Cawnpore and testifies to the savagery of the fighting of the entire conflict. His criticisms of the British administration that led to the revolt are very interesting and contrast with the more jingoist tone of other memoirs of the period. His final active service was as chief of staff and second in command to the successful expedition to Egypt (1881-1882) under Sir Garnet Wolseley culminating in the battle of Tel-El-Kebir. A fantastic Victorian war memoir, highly recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Army Life of My Mother and Father: A Chronological Account My Mother, the former Nelsie Patrick Hughes, was born in Omaha, Nebraska, which is situated on the banks of the Missouri River. My maternal grandfather, of Welsh ancestry, came to Nebraska from Virginia in 1856. A graduate of Georgetown Academy, he had entered the banking field and later established himself with the Nebraska National Bank in Omaha. One of the pioneers of Omaha, he was beloved by everyone. Mention of him is made in "The History of Omaha" by Alfred Sorenson. My maternal grandmother, Margaret Berlin, of Dutch and Irish descent, first came to Nebraska when her family moved from Pittsburgh (East Liberty), Pennsylvania, to farm near Irvington, Nebraska, a few miles west of Omaha. Margaret Berlin had a clever and industrious uncle, Nelson Patrick, who had made money in stocks, bonds, and railroads and had investments around Omaha, among them the beautiful piece of property which, after his death, became the famous Happy Hollow Golf Club and is now the fashionable girls' school, Brownell Hall. The spacious home he built there - the home that has seen so many gay parties and distinguished visitors - was eventually the scene of my mother's wedding. My grandfather and grandmother met in Omaha's Lutheran Church, which they both attended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Eventful Life of a Soldier As to my being really an actor in the scenes I have de scribed, I believe little doubt now exists in the public mind. I could at once dissipate it, by giving my name and the number of my regiment and I would have done so, were it not that it might point out too minutely some ill-favoured characters which I have given in the work. Fear for myself would not prevent me; but I have no personal enmity to gratify, and I shall feel sufficiently satisfied, if the picture drawn deter others from following their example.
