Download or read book Far Far From Home written by Dick Simpson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-09 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1861, Dick and Tally Simpson, sons of South Carolina Congressman Richard F. Simpson, enlisted in Company A of the Third South Carolina Volunteers of the Confederate army. Their letters home--published here for the first time--read like a historical novel, complete with plot, romance, character, suspense, and tragedy. In their last year of college when the war broke out, Dick and Tally were hastily handed their diplomas so they could volunteer for military duty. Dick was twenty; Tally was twenty-two. Well educated, intelligent, and thoughtful young men, Dick and Tally cared deeply for their country, their family, and their comrades-in-arms and wrote frequently to their loved ones in Pendleton, South Carolina, offering firsthand accounts of dramatic events from the battle of First Manassas in July 1861 to the battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. Their letters provide a picture of war as it was actually experienced at the time, not as it was remembered some twenty or thirty years later. It is a picture that neither glorifies war nor condemns it, but simply "tells it like it is." Written to a number of different people, the boys' letters home dealt with a number of different subjects. Letters to "Pa" went into great detail about military matters in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia--troop movements, casualties, and how well particular units had fought; letters to "Ma" and sisters Anna and Mary were about camp life and family friends in the army and usually included requests for much-needed food and clothing; letters to Aunt Caroline and her daughter Carrie usually concerned affairs of the heart, for Aunt Caroline continued to be Dick and Tally's trusted confidante, even when they were "far, far from home." The value of these letters lies not so much in the detailed information they provide as in the overall picture they convey--a picture of how one Southern family, for better or for worse, at home and at the front--coped with the experience of war. These are not wartime reminiscences, but wartime letters, written from the camp, the battlefield, the hospital bed, the picket line--wherever the boys happened to be when they found time to write home. It is a poignant picture of war as it was actually experienced in the South as the Civil War unfolded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Unique and Fortuitous Combination chronicles the history of the law school that has furnished the state of Georgia with nine of its governors, eight of its House Speakers, five U.S. senators, thirty members of Congress, and fifty-four federal and state appellate judges. The University of Georgia School of Law began its classes in the law offices of Joseph H. Lumpkin, Georgia's first supreme court justice, a few months before the outbreak of the Civil War. Over the years it has grown from a fledgling department with one teacher, to a modest but comprehensive law school during the Progressive Era, to its current status as one of the most consistently well-regarded public law schools in the nation, thanks to the talents of a fortuitous combination of deans, university presidents, and state government officials.
