Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gideon's Band: A Tale of the Mississippi Saturday, April, 1852. There was a fervor in the sky as of an August noon, although the clocks of the city would presently strike five. Dazzling white clouds, about to show the earliest flush of the sun's decline, beamed down upon a turbid river harbor, where the water was deep so close inshore that the port's unbroken mile of steamboat wharf nowhere stretched out into the boiling flood. Instead it merely lined the shore, the steamers packing in bow on with their noses to it, their stems out in the stream, their fenders chafing each other's lower guards.

Download or read book The Opening of the Mississippi a Struggle for Supremacy in the American Interior Classic Reprint written by Frederic Austin Ogg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opening of the Mississippi a Struggle for Supremacy in the American Interior This book is intended primarily to be a history of the discovery, exploration, and contested rights of navigation of the Mississippi River prior to the final securing of American supremacy by the closing events of the War of 1812. As such, however, it inevitably appears here and there to have been broadened into an attempted history of the entire Mississippi Valley. The author disclaims any purpose to deal with so large a subject, except in so far as has seemed necessary in order to give his more restricted narrative its true setting. In writing the earlier history of the Mississippi an effort has been made to place due emphasis on two most important aspects of - it the diplomatic and what may perhaps be called the physiographic. Not until after the second American war for independence did the ownership and control of the Mississippi cease to be the subject of almost perennial diplomatic negotiation. The purchase of Louisiana, whose centenary is about being celebrated, was but an incident - a most important one, to be sure - of that prolonged negotiation. Four nations - Spain, France, England, and the United States - were from time to time involved in it, and no account of the development of the great Middle West is complete without a careful survey of its devious courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Duciehurst: A Tale of the Mississippi A group had begun to assemble on the promenade deck, disconsolately looking out at the rippling tawny expanse of the vast vacant river, for the bight of the bend was as lonely a spot as could be found throughout its course. On either side of the deep groove of the great channel the banks rose high, seeming precipitous at this shrunken stage of the water. In the background loomed gigantic forests with foliage sere or green as the nature of the growths might determine. The leveling effect of the stereotyped surround ings of travel served to bring out in distinct relief the individual characteristics of the passengers. Mr. F loyd-rosney received the Captain's final admission of defeat with the silence and surly dignity befitting an implacable affront, and his manner could scarcely have been justified had he and his family been wil fully abducted by orders of the owners of the packet line. In his wonted environment at his home, en compassed by all the insignia of wealth and station, he might have seemed a man of such preeminent im portance and fashion as to render a contretemps impertinent and significant of a failure of respect and service, but here, on the deck of the steamer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mississippi: And Other Songs There were few more accurately and thoroughly educated lawyers in the state than he, and, to add to this, he was, as a politician and advocate, a foeman worthy of the steel of the very best of them. This was remarkable, as the two quali ties, or rather qualifications, are so seldom blended in one individual. I believe I may say he was the hardest hitter, the most tenacious fighter, and the fairest foeman I have ever met at the bar. He was the soul of honor and professional courtesy, but woe betide the unfortunate who mistook this for timidity, or presumed on his courtesy too far. But others will speak of him as a civilian. The only object of this is to pay a tribute to the memory of an old comrade in arms. H. G. Bunn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
