Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Riviera to the Rhine With the publication of Riviera to the Rhine, the Center of Military History completes its series of operational histories treating the activities of the U. S. Army's combat forces during World War II. This volume examines the least known of the major units in the European theater, General Jacob L. Devers' 6th Army Group. Under General Devers' leadership, two armies, the U. S. Seventh Army under General Alexander M. Patch and the First French Army led by General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, landing on the Mediterranean coast near Marseille in August 1944, cleared the enemy out of southern France and then turned east and joined with army groups under Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and General Omar N. Bradley in the final assault on Germany. In detailing the campaign of these Riviera-based armies, the authors have concentrated on the operational level of war, paying special attention to the problems of joint, combined, and special operations and to the significant roles of logistics, intelligence, and personnel policies in these endeavors. They have also examined in detail deception efforts at the tactical and operational levels, deep battle penetrations, river-crossing efforts, combat in built-up areas, and tactical innovations at the combined arms level. Such concepts are of course very familiar to today's military students, and the fact that this volume examines them in such detail makes this study especially valuable to younger officers and noncommissioned officers. In truth, the challenges faced by military commanders half a century ago were hardly unique. That is why I particularly urge today's military students, who might well face some of these same problems in future combat, to study this campaign so that they might learn from their illustrious predecessors in the profession of arms.

IT is nearly dusk. That indescribable melancholy which takes possession of the heart at the close of day seems to extend over the entire landscape. Which is really sad at such times? Is it nature, or is it our selves? A white mist rises from the depths of the immense valley of the Vosges the tall reeds along the river-bank sigh lugubriously the steamboat struggles on through the water like a big, tired dog; all the weary, drowsy passengers have gone down into the cabin, which is filled with bundles, valises, loaded tables, and sleeping people. The deck is almost deserted. Three German students still linger there, silent and motion less, smoking their pipes, without making a gesture or uttering a word, - three statues; I make a fourth as I stand staring out into space.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhine: From Its Source to the Sea Foremost among rivers is the Rhine, which, even two thousand years ago, was a watchword among nations. Its banks were im pressed with the footprints of Caesar's legions and Attila's cavalry, and centuries later, accompanied by a rejoicing people, King Conrad des cended the Rhine to Mainz for his coronation. Legend also has grown even as luxuriantly as History on the banks of the Rhine. As the ivy clings to the old castle walls, so do traditions fasten them selves to actual events. On the Rhine stood the castle of the N iebelungen, and on the Rhine the Lorelei sang. What country can compare in richness to that through which the Rhine flows, from the snow-clad Alps down to the very sea in which it is lost? Here lay the cities of the old empire and the great seats of eccle siastical pomp, which lavished as recklessly as they grasped all that came within their power. Who does not feel the wealth that lies in. The words The Rhine, the wealth of Nature and of Art, of History and of Legend, of old and new life?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heidenmauer or the Benedictines: A Legend of the Rhine It would be injustice to the ancient Bishopric of Liege to pass its beautiful scenery without a comment. The country possesses nearly every requisite for the milder and more rural sort of landscape - isolated and innumerable farm houses, herds in the fields, living hedges, a waving surface, and a verdure to rival the emerald. By a happy accident, the road runs for miles on an elevated ridge, enabling the traveller to enjoy these beauties at his ease. At aix-la-chapelle we bathed, visited the relics, saw the scene of so many coronations of emperors of more or less renown, sat in the chair of Charlemagne, and went our way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrims of the Rhine I have made the experiment of selecting for the main interest of my work the simplest materials, and weaving upon them the ornaments given chiefly to subjects of a more fanciful and ideal nature. I know not how far I have succeeded, but various reasons have conspired to make this the work, above all others that I have written, which has given me the most delight (though not unmixed with melan choly) in producing, and in which my mind, for the time, has been the most completely absorbed. But the ardour of composition is often disproportioned to the merit of the work; and the public sometimes, nor unjustly, avenges itself for that forgetfulness of its existence, which makes the chief charm of an author's solitude - and the happiest, if not the wisest.

Download or read book Rollo on the Rhine Classic Reprint written by Jacob Abbott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rollo on the Rhine The water which falls upon this mountainous region must of course find its way to the sea. In doing so the thousands of smaller torrents unite with each other into larger and larger streams, until at length they make four mighty rivers the largest and most celebrated in Europe. All the streams of the southern slopes of the moun tains form one great river, which flows cast into the Adriatic. This river is the Po. On the western side the thousands of mountain torrents combine and form the Rhone, which, making a great bend, turns to the southward, and flows into the Mediterranean. On the eastern side the water can find no escape till it has traversed the whole continent to the eastward, and reached the Black Sea. This stream is the Danube. And finally, on the north the immense number of cas cades and torrents which come out from the gla ciers, or pour down the ravines, or meander through the valleys, or issue from the lakes, of the northern s10pe of the mountains, combine at Basle, and flow north across the whole continent, nearly six hundred miles, to the North Sea. This river is the Rhine. All this, which I have thus been explaining, may be seen very clearly if you turn to any map of Europe, and find the mountainous region in the centre, and then trace the courses of the four great rivers, as I have described them.

By our numerous engraved delineations, we shall endeavour to familiarise with the eye when present, and with the re collection when removed, all the beauties and classic interest with which this far-famed river abounds - scenery, which, in uniting the romantic and picturesque with the sublime and beautiful, creates a degree of enthusiasm in the mind and feelings of the observer, either as Artist or Tourist; raising and exalting the imagination, from the contemplation of these sublimities of Nature, even to Nature's God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Villa on the Rhine, Vol. 2 of 2 The sparrows wrangled; they could find no more food and flew away. The coachmen grew silent; they had spent all their jokes. What can be done or said on a Winter's afternoon in the snow-covered, empty streets of the capital. Everything is as mute as the late Prince, who stands cut in stone upon yonder lofty column, a cap Of snow on his head, and epaulettes of snow on his Shoulders. The parade 18 over. The Chancery officers hold their sessions in the court-rooms, and up there In the Casino the shutters are closed, that they may play cards by candlelight. The time comes for the relief of the guards up there at Prince Leon hard's palace; the soldiers wear large capes, and mittens on their hands. The sentinel, who is relieved, whispers something in the ear of his comrade, who takes his place; it cannot be very important. A Chancery-beadle comes along, bearing aroll Of documents: he meets a court-lackey, clad in a long coat reaching almost to the ground; they exchange pinches Of snufl', and pass on. Such is the life Of a petty capital on a Win ter's afternoon. But now things look up something is going on. There was a great stir among the coachmen: Lutz, the courier, came up in advance with the large baggage-wagon. Now there's something to talk about. Is't true that Gold clump, the king Of California, is coming to the capital? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
