Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stamford Soldiers Memorial This Stamford Soldiers' Memorial has no higher aim than to report worthily the service which the representatives of the town rendered during the recent civil war. Believing it to have been an honorable and patriotic service, it seemed to the author, due to the men who rendered it, that some record of it should be preserved. Nor did it seem less due to the credit of the town, that so important a feature of its history should be sketched while the materials for it were still within our reach. Indeed, the record which follows is but a fulfillment of the first intent of the author, in projecting the History of the town, and very appropriately follows as its supplement Besides, a grateful people would wish to rear some worthy memorial of services, such as we are here to record. No part of the story of Stamford has a higher claim to monumental fame. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Stamford, Connecticut: From Its Settlement in 1641, to the Present Time, Including Darien, Which Was One of Its Parishes Until 1820 In doing so, I could wish its omissions and its faults were fewer: yet I am most of all content, that Whatever of either are noticed, were unavoidable. For one omission, ren dered necessary both by the size and the expense of the volume, and still more by the merits of the subject itself, demanding fuller and more careful treatment, I trust my readers will find the best possible compensation in the forthcoming stamford soldiers' memorial. Of its mechanical execution, the History will Speak for itself. For the few typograph ical errors here found, the considerate reader will surely find large amends in the general accuracy of the work; and both the author and his townsmen have just occasion for pride, that our local press has been able to send forth so large a volume, to which so few exceptions can be taken.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reception of the Returned Soldiers of Weston, Mass;, And Memorial Service in Honor of the Fallen: August 22, 1865 Tuesday, August 22d, was set apart by the citizens of Weston for a memorial service in honor of their gallant young men who had fallen in battle, and died in the service of the country, and at the same time to give a public reception to the returned soldiers.

The church was very appropriately trimmed for the occasion, bearing upon the walls, upon either side of the pulpit, the names and places of battle of the deceased soldiers, trimmed in evergreen and black, surmounted with the stars and stripes. Upon the side walls were the following mottos: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." "My peace I give unto you." "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." "The noble army of martyrs praise thee." "Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear."

Download or read book The Last of the Doughboys written by Richard Rubin and published by HMH. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Before the Greatest Generation, there was the Forgotten Generation of World War I . . . wonderfully engaging” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Richard Rubin has done something that will never be possible for anyone to do again. His interviews with the last American World War I veterans—who have all since died—bring to vivid life a cataclysm that changed our world forever but that remains curiously forgotten here.” —Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918 In 2003, eighty-five years after the end of World War I, Richard Rubin set out to see if he could still find and talk to someone who had actually served in the American Expeditionary Forces during that colossal conflict. Ultimately he found dozens, aged 101 to 113, from Cape Cod to Carson City, who shared with him at the last possible moment their stories of America’s Great War. Nineteenth-century men and women living in the twenty-first century, they were self-reliant, humble, and stoic, never complaining, but still marveling at the immensity of the war they helped win, and the complexity of the world they helped create. Though America has largely forgotten their war, you will never forget them, or their stories. A decade in the making, The Last of the Doughboys is the most sweeping look at America’s First World War in a generation, a glorious reminder of the tremendously important role America played in the “war to end all wars,” as well as a moving meditation on character, grace, aging, and memory. “An outstanding and fascinating book. By tracking down the last surviving veterans of the First World War and interviewing them with sympathy and skill, Richard Rubin has produced a first-rate work of reporting.” —Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia “I cannot remember a book about that huge and terrible war that I have enjoyed reading more in many years.” —Michael Korda, The Daily Beast
Download or read book The Justice of War written by Richard Hall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Justice of War: Its Foundations in Ethics and Natural Law puts normative ethical theory at the forefront in its discussion of the justice of war. Situating the modern theory of just war in its historical context, Richard A. S. Hall gives full attention to natural law, a mainstay of just war theory. Hall considers the American philosopher Josiah Royce’s implicit theory of just war with its suggestion of a fourth component of just war theory (in addition to jus ad bellum, jus in bello, and jus post bellum), namely, jus ad pacem—justice/law for or about peace—concerning the prevention of war and the maintenance of peace. This book addresses, and answers affirmatively, the following questions raised by just war theory: Can just war theory be rationally defended against its realpolitik critics? Can there by such a thing as a just or moral war? The book aims at showing the doubters and critics that just war theory is a viable alternative to both the political realism of realpolitik and pacifism. In brief, war can be morally justified, though under very restrictive conditions.
