I discounted the latter contingency by sitting with my back to one of the carriage lamps, for by what I had recently seen of the shooting of Turkish soldiers I flattered myself that I should be comparatively safe from any harm if they took aim at the candles. How ever, nothing of so exciting a nature happened, and I was asleep when the carriage suddenly came to a standstill. In the gray of the morning two seeming bundles of rags with muskets sticking up out of their folds stood up on either side of us. We were prisoners. This rencontre took place on the Velestino ridge just at the entrance to a narrow gorge which opened out upon the plain. The Moslem forces were already drawn up in quarter-columns of battalions and were about to advance on the doomed town. We were just in the nick of time! It was a remarkably picturesque and weird sight, this ever-victorious army--a ragged, scarecrow-looking host. The majority of the men's faces were brutal and sullen and boded no good to any Christian who might fall into their clutches. There was no difficulty in proving to the officer at the outpost that our mission was a pacific one, so we were at once permitted to push on toward headquarters, a good two miles, while the whole army wondered at our coming. Indeed, we must have made an extraordinary show. We had left our carriages, and were now advancing in some kind of order. First came bluejackets from the English and French ships, struggling to keep their respective flags in line so that one should not by a foot precede the other, next fluttered in the breeze the flags of truce, then came the French and English consuls--the French man, exceedingly short, gotten out in silk hat and white gloves, and the Englishman, who stood a good two...

Download or read book Imperialism and Popular Culture written by John M. MacKenzie and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular culture is invariably a vehicle for the dominant ideas of its age. Never was this more true than in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, when it reflected the nationalist and imperialist ideologies current throughout Europe. This text examines the various media through which nationalist ideas were conveyed in late-Victorian and Edwardian times - in the theatre, "ethnic" shows, juvenile literature, education and the iconography of popular art. Several chapters look beyond World War I, when the most popular media, cinema and broadcasting, continued to convey an essentially late-19th-century world view, while government agencies like the Empire Marketing Board sought to convince the public of the economic value of empire. Youth organizations, which had propagated imperialist and militarist attitudes before the war, struggled to adapt to the new internationalist climate.
Download or read book Reporting the Wars written by Joseph James Mathews and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1957-01-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting the Wars was first published in 1957. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. News of the wars has always intrigued the public, from the time of the Napoleonic wars up to the present. In this period of the last century and a half, however, the character both of the public and of the news has changed. Mr. Mathews traces the history of war news coverage from John Bell, who, in 1794, was probably the first war correspondent, to Ernie Pyle of World War II fame. The account is colorful, since war correspondents are notably adventurous individuals, and it is significant for a basic understanding of history, since the reporting of war news has represented a constant struggle against the forces of censorship and propaganda. The book is illustrated with newspaper cartoons.
Download or read book Fighting for the News written by Brian Best and published by Frontline. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible true stories of the first reporters from the battlefield—from Europe’s Napoleonic era to the Boer Wars of South Africa. Over two centuries ago, newspapers first considered sending a reporter overseas to observe, gather information, and write about war. With no experience to draw upon, both newspapers and correspondents gradually worked out a procedure that has evolved into today’s incredibly sophisticated systems of reportage. Here are the gripping accounts of those groundbreaking adventurers who sought out the danger of battle in pursuit of a story. Included within are the exploits of such journalistic luminaries as the first real war correspondent, Henry Crabb Robinson, who was sent by The Times of London to act as their ‘man in Germany’, ostensibly to follow and report the movements of Napoleon’s Grande Armée; William Howard Russell in the Crimean War, whose reports helped change the British government’s treatment of their soldiers; and perhaps the most famous correspondent of all, a young Winston Churchill who reported on conflicts in Cuba, the Indian frontier, Sudan, and the Boer War. For any fan of history, journalism, or true-life adventures, Fighting for the News is all you need to get the full story.
