Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Prison Chaplain on Dartmoor In writing the following reminiscences of my twenty-five years' experiences in the Prison on Dartmoor I have had two objects in view first, to interest my readers and excite their sympathy for a class of men who, although they are criminals, are not without their good points, as some of them have recently shown by their conduct in the late war. I was talking lately to an officer who was engaged in much of the heaviest fighting, and he told me that he had two ex-convicts in his company who were conspicuous by their bravery and readiness to volunteer for any dangerous duty. My second object is my own pleasure in recalling and transcribing the various incidents which, although now ancient history, are still vivid and interesting to me, as I hope the reading of them may be' to others. They are all at least true, and if there are no revelations of secrets hidden behind prison walls it is simply because no such secrets exist, or if they do they are unknown to me. For twenty-five years, day by day, and often all day long, I was in and out of the prison, inclosest contact with warders and prisoners, and only on two or three occasions did I witness anything that called for interference. Some times the tact and good temper of the warders under most trying and provocative circumstances was surprising; but let the men speak for them selves in the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Dartmoor At the request of my publishers I have written A Book of Dartmoor. I had already dealt with this upland district in two chapters in my Book of the West, vol i., "Devon." But in their opinion this wild and wondrous region deserved more particular treatment than I had been able to accord to it in the limited space at my disposal in the above-mentioned book. I have now entered with some fulness but by no means exhaustively, into the subject; and for those who desire a closer acquaintance with, and a more precise guide to the several points of interest on "the moor," I would indicate three works that have preceded this. I. Mr. J. Brooking Rowe in 1896 republished the Perambulations of Dartmoor, first issued by his great-uncle, Mr. Samuel Rowe, in 1848. The original work was written by a man whose mind was steeped in the crude archaelogical theories of his period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christowell: A Dartmoor Tale Upon a pleasant April morning, of the sweet inconstant kind, such as we vainly sigh for now, a gardening man, with a quick step, came into his happy greenhouse. A door from his favourite Sitting-room led into this still more favoured place and the smile, with which he entered, showed that he expected to find pleasure here. It was a long, low, Span-roof house, with no side-lights, and very simple, not even framed with rafters. Yet snug from violence of wind, and bright with every sunbeam, this humble house was rich with joy, for all who love good health, ' and peace.

Download or read book The Diary of Benjamin F Palmer written by Benjamin Franklin Palmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of Benjamin F. Palmer: Privateersman There are five books in English, one in French and three magazine articles which form the library to which we refer for all we know of a place which was so important in the War Of 1812. In the heart Of the Dartmoor country in Southern England is a spot which was a desolate peat bog up to 1805. Then, England and France being at war, more room for French prisoners was needed, and the granite structure destined to 'unpleasant notoriety as Dartmoor prison was begun. The buildings, which at one time held nearly men, were first occupied in 1809. The best known incident Of the prison history is the Dartmoor Massacre, April 6, 1815. Now that an American Memorial has been placed in the Church at Prince Town, in Dartmoor, it may be regarded as one of the significant signs that a war between England and The United States is quite an impossible thing to contemplate. The memorial is a large stained glass window, suitably inscribed, given by The National Society United States Daughters of 1812. It was formally presented by the president of the society June 4, 1910. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dartmoor Classic Reprint written by Arthur Leslie Salmon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dartmoor Whatever its actual population may have been, imagination would people it with spirits and demons; while it needed no imagination to supply the storms, the blinding fogs and rains, the baying wolves that haunted its recesses. They were content to retain its old Celtic name for the river, and they applied this name to the moor as well; it became the moor of the Dart. The name Dart, supposed to be akin to Darent and Derwent, is almost certainly a deriv ative from the Celtic dwr, water. The moorland itself is a mass of granite upheaved in pre-glacial days, weathered by countless centuries into undula ting surfaces, pierced by jagged tors, and interspersed with large patches of bog and peat-mire. This is the biggest granitic area in England, the granite extending for about 225 square miles; though that which is known as Dartmoor Forest (never a forest in our accepted meaning of the word) is considerably smaller, having been much encroached upon by till age and enclosure. There is a further protrusion of granite on the Bodmin Moors, and again as far west as Scilly; while Lundy, in the Bristol Channel, belongs almost entirely to the same formation. Beneath the mire and peat, which are the decaying deposits of vegetable matter, lies a stratum of china-clay, which is worked productively to the south of the moors.
