Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of a Conscript From early childhood I had been a close student and an earnest seeker after knowledge. I believed it was possible in this great country of ours for a man of ambition to reach a higher and nobler life than those who were content to grow up and fall like the leaves. I had completed the common grades and was ready to enter upon higher branches when the call to arms came. In politics I had been trained in the old Whig school, and although, on account of my youth, I had taken but little interest in affairs of Government, living in the midst of slavery, and daily observing the evils of the whole system, I had become thoroughly imbued with the anti-slavery doctrine, and every day was more and more convinced in my own mind that it was wrong. When, in 1860, Mr. Lincoln was elected President, I then heard the mutterings of secession, and the boast that one Southern man was equal to ten "Yankees." In a short time one State after another followed in rapid succession, severing the ties that held them together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conscript Mother And to the ignorant optimism of my protest she smiled sadly, with the fatalism that women acquire in countries of conscription. It was tu tile to combat with mere theory and logic this conviction of a mother's heart. Probably the signora had over heard some significant word which to her sensitive intelligence was more real, more positive than all the sub tle reasonings at the Consulta. The Sphinx-like silence of ministers and diplomats had not been broken: there was nothing new in the situation. The newspapers were as wordily empty of fact as ever. And yet this morning for the first time Signora Maironi seemed convinced against her will that war was inevitable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscript 2989: Experiences of a Drafted Man All I can remember about the society is the motto, and there is nothing particularly pleas ant about the recollection, either. But some how to-night that fool phrase comes back to me and makes a pessimist of me right off. I Wonder how pleasant these things are going to be and whether I will want to remember them here after. Perhaps I won't have much choice. I'll probably remember them whether I want to or not. Already my first eight hours of active service as Conscript 2989 have some sharp edges sticking out which I am likely to remember, though many of them are far from pleasant.

Download or read book Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo Classic Reprint written by Mm. Erckmann-Chatrian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo Alsace, and perhaps their descriptions Of the beauties of that really charming country are somewhat idealised. They lived in the days of rich living, when rich living could be Obtained. The voice of the teetotaler had not been heard in the land, neither had that of the apostles Of the simple life, if we except the sturdy Capuchin who wrought such havoc at the Inn of the Ham of Mainz. But that does not belong to this book. We take for our guide good old Father Goulden, who, looking through his big spectacles from his Shop window at Phalsbourg, relates the history of Europe as he saw and read it, in those stirring times when Wordsworth sang of the joy of being alive - and young. We who have lived a little longer have seen the fruits Of many of the seeds sown in those vivacious years. Some are good and some are evil, after the manner of all human and transitory actions. But Father Goulden, if rather too enthusiastic for the cause he had had at heart, was a just man, and admitted the faults Of his early idols. Joseph Bertha, the domesticated young man with a good heart and a bit Of a limp, tells us of the terrible campaign of 1813. In his mouth is placed the military part of the story, and in Father Goulden's the political. We rejoice over the sweet womanliness of the young man's wife, and smile at the vehemence of Aunt Grethel. She would worship Napoleon to-day, and, if it appeared to suit her peace of mind, she was equally ready to do homage to the Bourbons and to, attend the masses of expiation for Cadoudal and his colleagues. The plot is correct and well conceived. The military portion of the books is excellent if we take the point of view that the Observations are those of a young conscript, who hears more than he sees. The charm of the authors will never fade. Day by day we perceive the fact that their more serious books are by no means tales of adventure after the manner of Peter Simple, but a unique and truly French mixture of realism and thrifty love. Tolstoy could hardly do more to enhance the cause of peace than do the present works. They have been re garded as books for boys, but there is that in them which the serious student of history can ill afford to miss. The intense patriotism of the Alsatians is one of the outstanding features of modern European history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Young Lieutenant written by Oliver Optic and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Lieutenant: Or, the Adventures of an Army Officer; A Story of Great Rebellion This volume is a sequel to "The Soldier Boy;" and, though the leading character is the same in both books, there is no necessary connection between them, each forming an independent story. The material for the work, so far as its historical relations are concerned, has been derived from authentic sources; not from books and papers only, but from intelligent and reliable persons who participated in the stirring scenes of which they gave testimony. The author especially acknowledges his indebtedness to Captain William V. Munroe, late of the Eleventh Massachusetts Regiment, for details of the Peninsular Campaign; and to Captain Henry N. Blake, author of "Three Years in the Army of the Potomac," for valuable information relative to the movements of General Hooker's Division. Like "The Soldier Boy," this book is a narrative of personal adventure, rather than a connected historical account of the operations before Richmond; though, so far as positions and movements of the army are introduced, they are based upon reliable information.
