Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southern Soldier Boy: A Thousand Shots for the Confederacy The 26th of April, 1607, is the date that will linger in his tory after many a dreary record of battle and coronation has been swept away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan: A Confederate Soldier This unpretentious work is not the product of a literary ambition. Though my story deals with events that will live forever in the records of our country, I have not sought to give it the wings of poetic fancy whereby it may fly into the libraries of the earth. Within the happy family circle, from which my children are now gone, these oft-recounted recollections became a part of their education. I permitted them to turn the pages of my memory, as the leaves of a book, that they might learn the vanished glory of the old South - the loving loyalty and the sad travail of her people. And I trust that they learned also that our unfortunate Civil War - now, thank God, nearly sixty years behind us - was a clash of honest principles. That there were wild-eyed agitators and extremists on both sides, and that each had its scalawags and low-flung ruffians, there can be no doubt (and some of these - alas!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Stories in One: The Statesman; The Confederate Soldier, the Ideal Soldier of the World; The South's Peerless Women of the World His booklet has behind its publication two good and sufficient reasons. The first reason is to give to the present generation, and our Southern. Children especially, a truthful idea of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confed crate States, and his life's work for the American people, without regard to section, and we hope to refute, so far as we are able to do by this Booklet, the vile slanders that have been uttered against him and his people by the fanatical pulpit and press of the Northern States. We want our boys and girls of the South to know their fathers were not Rebels nor Traitors in 1861, but patriots, who obeyed the laws, and loved the Constitution as handed down to us by the men who made it to protect all sections alike. We want the whole world to know Jefferson Davis as we know him, the American Patriot and Statesman. Second. We want to incite in our children a spirit of study of the causes that led up to the war; we want the world to have the true story of the cruel, unjust and illegal war made upon the South and her people, waged with fanatical malice from 1861 to '65, to take from the States of the South and her people their political liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. We want the world to know the people who hated the law, in their malice because of the prosperity of the South, and if the conflict was inevitable and had to come, the South in morals had a better reason for her course than did the North.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confederate Soldier and Ten Years in South America In the summer of 1849, as well as I remember, a heavy rain fell which put up all the branches and gullies. Uncle Berry's house was about a mile and a half distant. I wanted to show the kids how I could swim, so I jumped in and left them behind. When I reached uncle's house I found that two or three dollars worth of school books had been ruined. For this mother took a rope and tied me down to the bed post and gave me a good dressing with the carriage whip. This is a fair sample of some of the difficulties I managed to get into, and I shall just leave the matter for some one else to decide whether or not I was treated right in my raising.

Download or read book The Younger s Fight for Freedom written by W. C. Bronaugh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Younger's Fight for Freedom: A Southern Soldier's Twenty Years' Campaign to Open Northern Prison Doors Anecdotes of War Days The war between the states, as all wars, left scars everywhere. These scars were deepest on the border where the conflict was sharpest and the demoralization following the battle strife most complete. From this borderland in western Missouri, went into outlawry a group of men whose exploits have become part of the criminal history of the west. In mitigation of judgment, not in extenuation of their evil deeds, the times in which their early lives were cast must be remembered. Chief among this group were Coleman, James, and Robert Younger. This volume relates the story of these outlaws, not to gloss their crimes or to excuse their sins but to show that the way of the transgressor is ever a hard way. The volume does more. It tells how a gallant Missourian, true to sacred ties of friendship, gave time and thought and means, long and cheerfully, to securing the release of the Youngers from prison. The volume is worth reading as a contribution by high authority to the history of times much misunderstood and much misrepresented.

Download or read book The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by David Emmons Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Some twenty-eight years ago I wrote and published a small book recounting my personal experiences in the Civil War, but this book is long out of print, and the publication exhausted. At the urgent request of some of my old comrades who still survive, and of friends and my own family, I have undertaken the task of rewriting and publishing this story. As stated in the preface to the former volume, the principal object of this work is to record, largely from memory, and after the lapse of many years (now nearly half a century) since the termination of the war between the states of the Federal Union, the history, conduct, character and deeds of the men who composed Company D, Seventh regiment of Virginia infantry, and the part they bore in that memorable conflict. The chief motive which inspires this undertaking is to give some meager idea of the Confederate soldier in the ranks, and of his individual deeds of heroism, particularly of that patriotic, self-sacrificing, brave company of men with whose fortunes and destiny my own were linked for four long years of blood and carnage, and to whom during that period I was bound by ties stronger than hooks of steel; whose confidence and friendship I fully shared, and as fully reciprocated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunset of the Confederacy Longer are the shadows, richer are the colors of the evening clouds, deeper is the feeling as the close of the day draws near and the sun goes down: so was it with the War of the Great Rebellion as its end drew near. That momentous struggle had gone on for four long years. Much gallant blood had been shed, thousands of graves had been filled; and now, Sunday, the second day of April, 1865, - a memorable month and a memorable year in the annals of our country, - had come, and the church bells of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, were ringing for the morning service. Bright over the city was the sun in the bending sky, the jonquils were glowing in the gardens, the southern woods were sweet with the bloom of the jessamine, and the fields were gay with the voices of birds and brooks, - but the gloom of the people was deep indeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Confederate Army: Being the Observations and Experiences of an Alien in the South During the American Civil War ON the origin, progress, and issue of the American Civil War there has, no doubt, been much written from various sources, and from different points of view. Assuming those accounts to be strictly correct and impartial, still it must be acknowledged that in general descriptions of events of historical importance the subject is generally taken in the abstract, wholly and collectively, and there is seldom room for any minute analysis of individual senti ment, personal views, or minor incidents, which might be interesting if given in a personal narrative, even though that narrative extended only to a limited portion of the general subject; and more especially if the narrator hap pened. To be an outsider, having little or no direct interest on either side, but became a participant in the events through force of peculiar circumstances. The writer resided for several years immediately pre ceding the war in the capital of one of the Southern States; and, though his occupation and station were more among the industrious, non-slaveholding, and less political class.
