Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes in Gray To the children and grandchildren of the men who wore the gray this book is dedicated. It is only right that the children of the Southland know the full meaning of their birthright. No one can object that the truth be told them. It is unjust to the Southland and to those who fol lowed the Stars and Bars to death and to glory not to let the true history of the years 1861 to 1865 be known. If our children are left in ignorance as to this history they may grow up feeling that they have the blood of traitors in their veins. Nothing will stir the blood of our sons to become true and noble men more than to know the history of such men as Lee whose trust was ever in the God of battles, of Jackson who never fought before he prayed, of the Southern woman who nursed the sick soldier, who struggled at home while hus bands and fathers fought, who gave their dearest men to the 'cause, ' yet never wavered in their loyalty to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy Heroes in Fiction I TH each succeeding year there is a fresh crop of boy heroes - and always are they assured of a ready welcome by hosts of living, active boy readers. There are heroes who appear in gayly decorated wrappers of paper, like Joseph's coat of many colors; and others who are more soberly gowned in cloth of conventional hue. Some come flying in on the wings of the wind - dressed in aviator's togs. Others are in the chap or buckskin of the West. One and all they typify the forward, adventurous spirit of the eternal boy.

Download or read book The Boy in Gray written by George Gilman Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy in Gray: A Story of the War This book has been written for the young people who are interested in the story of the stirring scenes through which their fathers passed. It is needless to say that it is not a true record of personal life; it is no more history than is Robinson Crusoe or the Pilgrim's Progress. The facts stated as historic are to be relied upon. Many of these came under my own eye, when I went over the ground which Roger speaks of in his campaign. The pictures of Georgia life are, I think, correctly drawn, and ought not to fade out entirely. This little book has been written in the interest of peace, and I have been anxious that the Southern boys and girls who will be largely and almost exclusively my readers should see not only how nobly their fathers bore themselves in the war, and how grandly their mothers and sisters toiled at home, but that they should see how really noble and generous were many of those who were on the other side. If any one should object that these characters had no counterparts in real life, I can only say that they have not heard the whole story and that, while such cases were too rare, there were such. The absence of malice between the soldiers was a remarkable feature of the contest; and if there has been feelings of bitterness between the North and the South, it is high time for them to have an end. The children of the old English people who settled America, whether they landed at jamestown or Plymouth Rock, have too much in common to be at enmity now. Com mon dangers are too near them for them to vex each other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Hero Stories Classic Reprint written by Eva March Tappan and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Hero Stories This volume contains five accounts of voyagers and explorers, ranging from Columbus to Lewis and Clark; stories of five colonies of marked dissimilarity- Virginia, Quebec, Plymouth, New York, and Philadelphia; brief lives of four pioneers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and fifteen short stories of war times. In treating of our wars, it seemed wisest not to attempt any formal explanation of causes and results, but rather to picture a number of separate and interesting achievements, choosing as far as possible actions that have distinct heroes. The chapters are arranged in chronological order, with a thread of continuity running through them. The aim of the book is to introduce in informal and friendly fashion some of the makers of American history, and to provide a simple, broad foundation for future study of history and biography. Acknowledgments are due to the courtesy of the following for permission to use their material for illustrations; to The Title Guarantee and Trust Co. of New York for New Amsterdam in Stuyvesant's Time; to Mr. C.M.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Veteran's Story Dedicated to the Heroes Who Wore the Gray During long Winter evening's the old farmer Veteran, whose retentive memory dwells on the events of the past, has told his children the incidents and stories of his soldier life in the army of Northern Virginia. At last the thought occurred to me: Why not get him to begin at the day when his company, "The Jasper Grays," left their homes in the rugged hills of old Jasper county, Miss., to go out to battle for the Southern cause, and tell the events of the four year's conflict in rotation 'till he came back home a weary, foot-sore soldier, after the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox? In thought he carries us with him through fertile valleys where war raged wild and fierce, o'er winding mountain passes and in toilsome marches along the Potomac, James and Rappahannock. In imagination, we view with rapture the grandeur of the scenery in the fair Virginia clime. Awe fills our souls while he tells of the soldier life of Southern men when the snow and sleet had mantled valley, plain and mountain. He tells of the sentinel who stood at his post of duty for many lonely hours, keeping vigil while a weary army slumbered. Through the four year's strife, amid cannon boom and rattle of musketry, that stifled the moan of wounded and dying, the Veteran has taken us in story, showing the heroic endurance of the men in Gray and telling the greatness of the two unrivalled warriors - Lee and Jackson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes Every Child Should Know: Tales for Young People of All the World's Heroes in All Ages They had worked and thought and dreamed only a little time before they began to explain the marvelous earth on which they found themselves and the strange things that happened in it; the vastness and beauty of the fields, woods, sky and sea, the force of the wind, the com ing and going of the day and night, the warmth of sum mer when everything grew, and the cold of winter when everything died, the rush of the storm and the terrible brightness of the lightning. They had no idea of what we call law or force; they could not think of anything being moved or any noise being made unless there was some one like themselves to move things and make sounds; and so they made stories of gods and giants and heroes and nymphs and fawns; and the myths, which are poetic explanations of the world and of the life of men in it, came into being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Heroes: Boys and Men; A Record of the Past, and an Inspiration for the Future Actions speak louder than words, as the proverb puts it; and a book of heroes is a chronicle of deeds more eloquent than speech, and of more powerful appeal than printed panegyrics. Sincerit'y, says Carlyle, is the saving merit, a. L certainly it is a quality of universal commendation. I ven the least sincere are at least sincere enough to aspect sincerity. Bravery may, and often does, exist apart from sincerity; but it is the moral touch of sincerity that lifts it to the plane of the heroic. A great man is always sincere, as a first condition of him, says Carlyle but a man need not be great in order to be sincere. And then he adds, as if for the encouragement of all, If hero mean sincere man, why may not every one of us be heroes?
