Now it hissed its motto to the winds that blew over Battery Park. And when our story begins, it was flying over the rude breastworks of the American army, breastworks of logs and rails and earth and hay, beyond the tiny village Of Brooklyn. Washington was there, facing with grim but hopeless defiance a great British army, which had landed from the British fleet that lay in the Bay, and which proposed to crush the rebellion by routing and capturing that hastily-gathered, poorly-clothed, worse-fed, half-armed mob of rebels which Washington led.

Download or read book Manassas written by Upton Sinclair and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upton Sinclair is one of the most well known authors of the twentieth century. His most famous novel is of course The Jungle, a work of fiction that brought conditions in the United States' meat packing industry to the forefront of public thought. He was also the author of dozens of books, both fiction and non-fiction, and is considered a great American writer. His novel Manassas: A Novel of the War was later republished under the name Theirs Be the Guilt. Manassas is the story of the United States in the period leading up to the Civil War. The book is an account of life in the South, where slave ownership was common and clashes between landowners and their slaves were frequent and often brutal. The protagonist of the story is a young Southerner who leaves the South and joins the abolitionist movement in the North. It is a story of families torn apart and the tremendous damages done by slavery. The book also serves as an excellent introduction to American politics at the time, and was written at a period when the wounds of the Civil War were still fresh for many Americans. Sinclair is an author who deserves the credit he has been afforded, and Manassas sees him in excellent form. With clever, beautiful, prose, Sinclair weaves a story that is both gripping and heartbreaking. This is a great American novel written by a true master of his craft.

Download or read book The Soldier Boy Or Tom Somers in the Army written by Oliver Optic and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soldier Boy, or Tom Somers in the Army: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume is not altogether a military romance, though it contains the adventures of one of those noble-hearted and pa triotic young men who went forth from homes of plenty and happiness to fight the battles of our imperilled country. The incidents of the story may be stirring and exciting; yet they are not only within the bounds of probability, but have been more than paralleled in the experience of hundreds of the gal lant soldiers of the loyal army. The work is not intended to approach the dignity of a his tory, though the writer has carefully consulted the authorities, both loyal and rebel, and has taken down the living words of enthusiastic participants in the stirring scenes described in this volume. He has not attempted to give a full picture of any battle, or other army operation, but simply of those move ments in which the hero took a part. The book is a nar rative of personal adventure, delineating the birth and growth of a pure patriotism in the soul of the hero, and describing the perils and privations, the battles and marches which he shared with thousands of brave men in the army of the Po tomac.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
