Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...thank God, the Rebel Scout has lived long enough to outgrow many of the prejudices engendered by the war."Though able to write those words in 1905, at the outbreak of the American Civil War, Dickinson College-educated Maryland native, Thomas Conrad was a passionate fighter for the Rebel cause. Working as a scout in the command of J.E.B. Stuart, he fought alongside his Phi Kappa Sigma buddy and life-long friend, Daniel Mountjoy Cloud.Along the way, he met and ate with Jefferson Davis and was part of a plan (separate from the Booth conspirators) to kidnap Abraham Lincoln. According to Conrad:"Neither President Davis nor his secretary of war had any knowledge of my contemplated attempt to capture Mr. Lincoln and bring him to Richmond. I consulted only the military secretary of General Bragg, and General Bragg at that time had command of Richmond and its defenses. This military secretary enjoined me, above all things, not to hurt a hair upon Lincoln's head, or treat him with the slightest indignity."By chance, one of Conrad's men met up with John Wilkes Booth during his escape and furnished him with one of Conrad's horses, on which Booth rode to the site of his death.After the war, Conrad was president of what is today Virginia Tech.For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above.

Download or read book Karmel the Scout Or the Rebel of the Jerseys written by Sylvanus Cobb, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Karmel the Scout, or the Rebel of the Jerseys: A Story of the American Revolution "Karmel the Scout" is one of Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.'s, very best stories. The scene is laid in the picturesque region of New Jersey occupied by the British and Continental troops in the stirring days of the Revolutionary War. The incidents described are many of them true to history, with just enough romance thrown in to make an exciting and connected story. Old Karmel himself was a real personage, and real characters play a prominent part in the story, giving it a double interest thereby, for fascinating as is fiction fact is more so. When a reader feels that the exciting story he has been reading is a true one he takes a double satisfaction out of it. The hero of the story - that is, the hero after Karmel - is a dashing young captain who did good service for Gen. Washington on the high seas, while the villain is a colonel in the army of his British Majesty. An author who lays his story in such times as those of the American Revolution has material to work from that it would be hard to find hanging around the story of any other war. From Bunker Hill to Yorktown it is one continued chapter of thrilling adventure and heroic action. Mr. Cobb has made the most of his splendid material, and "Karmel the Scout" will hold the attention of thousands of readers until the candle drops in its socket and the clock tells off the small hours of the morning.

Download or read book Beware the People Weeping written by Thomas Reed Turner and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1991-09-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first killing of a president in American history, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln shook the nation to its foundations with grief and rage. With one bullet the brief period of good feeling at the end of the Civil War was over. By 1867 the initial belief that the Confederate leadership had engineered the assassination had given way to speculation that Andrew Johnson had been behind the conspiracy. This was followed by bitter attacks on the military trial and on the defense of its two most prominent “victims,” Mrs. Surratt and Dr. Mudd. Most recently, there have been attempts to show that it was the radical faction of Lincoln’s own party that arranged his death. In Beware the People Weeping, Thomas Reed Turner pushes away the elaborate conspiracy theories that have always surrounded Lincoln’s death and uncovers exactly what can be known about the murder and its aftermath. Finding that many historians have worked in ignorance of the context of the events, or distorted the evidence to suit their own ideas about political assassination, Turner looks instead to public opinion of the time—as reflected in newspapers, diaries, letters, sermons, and transcripts of the pretrial investigation and the trial itself—to understand how and why the public and the military reacted as they did. Probing the aftermath of the assassination, Turner tells of the spontaneous outpouring of rage and despair, the reaction in the defeated South, the almost universal conviction that the South was behind the plot, the actions of the authorities in tracking the conspirators, and the trials of the suspects, including that of John Surratt in 1867. A close look at these confused events and an untangling of the controversies that arose in their wake, Beware the People Weeping strips away more than a century of speculation to retell with hard facts the history of Abraham Lincoln’s death.

Book excerpt: This top-secret cache reproduces highly sensitive intelligence that traces the Rebel Alliance from its formation through its tireless fight against the Empire and the First Order. From its earliest beginnings in covert opposition to Imperial operations, the Alliance could not leave its most sensitive information open to the risk of digital interception. Instead, it was kept in a secure case, traveling with key senior Rebel personnel. Lost in the chaos surrounding the Battle of Endor, it was rediscovered many years later by the newly formed Resistance. Richly illustrated and full of strategic detail and history, the files also feature additional annotation by Resistance members such as General Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Poe Dameron, and Admiral Ackbar, making this a crucial read for fans seeking a deeper understanding of the saga.
