Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Pictures From the South I have, as a refugee, for the second time set my foot upon the rocky shores of Old England, to complete, under the shelter of her glorious banner, a narrative of the remarkable events that occurred during a period of more than eighteen months' campaigning in America, the knowledge of which I acquired from my personal experience as an officer of the Confederate army. Now that my book is ready, I can confidently place it before the reader, with the assurance that these War Pictures have been delineated not only to the best of my ability, but with a conscientious regard to truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Pictures, Vol. 1 of 2: From the South Now that my book is ready, I dedicate it to the soldiers of the two contending armies, as a greeting from afar. I have only to add, that if some of my criticisms may appear too severe to those whose conduct I censure, I have, in making use of them, been actuated solely by a fearless resolve to tell the truth and state my honest convictions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Pictures: Experiences and Observations of a Chaplain in the U. S. Army, in the War of the Southern Rebellion The War of the Southern Rebellion is destined to create a Literature of its own. Its history will be written by many hands, while its incidents and leading characteristics, above all the principles involved in it, will supply themes for discussion for a long time to come. The material for all reliable accounts of this great struggle must be furnished, in no small degree, by the testimony of eye - witnesses. In that view, I flatter myself that what I here offer to the public will have some value as contributions to the history hereafter to be written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures of War The fog made the clothes of the men of the column in the roadway seem of a luminous quality. It imparted to the heavy infantry overcoats a new colour, a kind of blue which was so pale that a regiment might have been merely a long, low shadow in the mist. However, a muttering, one part grumble, three parts joke, hovered in the air above the thick ranks, and blended in an undertoned roar, which was the voice of the column. The town on the southern shore of the little river loomed spectrally, a faint etching upon the grey cloud-masses which were shifting with oily languor. A long row of guns upon the northern bank had been pitiless in their hatred, but a little battered belfry could be dimly seen still pointing with invincible resolution toward the heavens. The enclouded air vibrated with noises made by hidden colossal things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Original Photographs Taken on the Battlefields During the Civil War of the United States Classic Reprint written by Mathew B. Brady and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Photographs Taken on the Battlefields During the Civil War of the United States The existence of this collection is unknown by the public at large. Even while this book has been in pre paration eminent photographers have pronounced it im possible, declaring that photography was not sufficiently advanced at that period to prove of such practical use in War. Distinguished veterans of the Civil War have informed me that they knew positively that there were no cameras in the wake of the army. This incredulity of men in a position to know the truth enhances the value of the collection inasmuch that its genuineness is officially proven by the testimony of those who saw the pictures taken, by the personal statement of the man who took them, and by the Government Records. For forty-two years the original negatives have been in storage, secreted from public view, except as an occasional proof is drawn for some special use. How these negatives came to be taken under most hazardous conditions in the storm and stress of a War that threatened to change the entire history of the world is itself an interesting historical ia eident. Moreover, it is one of the tragedies of genius. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Robert E Lee in War and Peace written by Donald A. Hopkins and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert E. Lee is well known as a Confederate general and as an educator later in life, but most people are exposed to the same handful of images of one of America’s most famous sons. It has been almost seven decades since anyone has attempted a serious study of Lee in photographs, and with Don Hopkins’s painstakingly researched and lavishly illustrated Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the wait is finally over. Dr. Hopkins, a Mississippi surgeon and lifelong student of the Civil War and Southern history with a recent interest in Robert E. Lee’s “from life” photographs, scoured manuscript repositories and private collections across the country to locate every known Lee image (61 in all) in existence today. The detailed text accompanying these images provides a sweeping history of Lee’s life and a compelling discussion of antique photography, with biographical sketches of all of Lee’s known photographers. The importance of information within the photographer’s imprint or backmark is emphasized throughout the book. Hopkins offers a substantial amount of previously unknown information about these images, how each came to be, and the mistakes in fact and attribution other authors and writers have made describing photographs of Lee to the reading public. Many of the images in this book are being published for the first time. In addition to a few rare photographs and formats that were uncovered during the research phase of Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the author offers—for the first time—definitive and conclusive attribution of the identity of the photographer of the well-known Lee “in the field” images, and reproduces a startling imperial-size photograph of Lee made by Alexander Gardner of Washington, D.C. Students of American history in general and the Civil War in particular, as well as collectors and dealers who deal with Civil War era photography, will find Hopkins’s outstanding Robert E. Lee in War and Peace a true contribution to the growing literature on the Civil War. About the Author: Born in the rural South, Donald A. Hopkins has maintained a fascination with Southern history since he was a child. In addition to published papers in the medical field, he has written several Civil War articles and The Little Jeff: The Jeff Davis Legion, Cavalry, Army of Northern Virginia for which he received the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. Dr. Hopkins served as Battalion Surgeon for the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, (better known as “The Walking Dead”) in Vietnam. He was awarded the purple heart and the Bronze Star with combat “V.” Dr. Hopkins is a surgeon in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he lives with his wife Cindy and their golden retriever Dixie.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ante Bellum: Southern Life as It Was A ssnsaous enemy will forgive us for taking a retrospective view of scenes that in a few years will fade from our memories; and although they may consider these home pictures too highly colored by a prejudiced hand, you, my friends, will recognize the accuracy of the drawing, and cast with me one last, fond, lingering look on our Southern homes as they existed before the red hand of war made them desolate. If the sentiments expressed in these pages should give offense to any, it must be remem bered that they only indicate in a slight degree that feeling which helped to bring about the long and bloody war; and as it was my desire to adhere strictly to facts, I have been compelled to slightly introduce a trite subject. With the hope that these truthful sketches of Southern life may divert for a brief season your thoughts from the dull monotony of the present gloomy state of our country, as they have mine, I cast forth upon the uncertain billows this frail bark freighted with delightful memories of the happy past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaign Pictures of the War in South Africa (1899-1900): Letters From the Front This book, such as it is, is dedicated to the man whose kindliness of heart and generous journalistic instincts lifted me from the unknown, and placed me where I had a chance to battle with the best men in my profession. He was the man who found Archibald Forbes, the most brilliant, accurate, and entertaining of all war correspondents. What he did for that splendid genius let Forbes' memoirs tell; what he did for me I will tell myself. He gave me the chance I had looked for for twenty years, and the dearest name in my memory to-day is the name of Sir John Robinson, Manager of the Daily News, London.

Download or read book War Poetry of the South Classic Reprint written by William Gilmore Simms and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Poetry of the South Several considerations have prompted the editor of this volume in the compilation of its pages. It constitutes a contribution to the national literature which is assumed to be not unworthy of it, and which is otherwise valuable as illustrating the degree of mental and art development which has been made, in a large section of the country, under circumstances greatly calculated to stimulate talent and provoke expression, through the higher utterances of passion and imagination. Though sectional in its character, and indicative of a temper and a feeling which were in conflict with nationality, yet, now that the States of the Union have been resolved into one nation, this collection is essentially as much the property of the whole as are the captured cannon which were employed against it during the progress of the late war. It belongs to the national literature, and will hereafter be regarded as constituting a proper part of it, just as legitimately to be recognized by the nation as are the rival ballads of the cavaliers and round-heads, by the English, in the great civil conflict of their country. The emotional literature of a people is as necessary to the philosophical historian as the mere details of events in the progress of a nation. This is essential to the reputation of the Southern people, as illustrating their feelings, sentiments, ideas, and opinions - the motives which influenced their actions, and the objects which they had in contemplation, and which seemed to them to justify the struggle in which they were engaged. It shows with what spirit the popular mind regarded the course of events, whether favorable or adverse; and, in this aspect, it is even of more importance to the writer of history than any mere chronicle of facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Sidelights: A Picture of Social and Economic Life in the South a Generation Before the War To outline a picture of social and economic life in the South during the generation before the war is the pur pose of this work. It is not a history in the broad sense, but deals with material that is often neglected in the philosophy based upon human records. Details of politics are always of interest, because of the personality of leaders and their undue importance in the public eye. Behind politics, though, in uencing and being in uenced, are the real conditions of a people, - their habits of thought, their modes of action, and their industrial, agricultural, edu ostional, and commercial status. These may be truly estimated only by marshalling the figures in the light of contemporaneous conditions, moral, intellectual, and phys ical. Such a task has been attempted in this volume.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures From the Battle Fields It appears, indeed, tolerably clear now, alike to the most Opiniated official and to the most orthodox believer in him, that we know nothing as it ought to be known, either about the causes which led to this most unhappy war; why we are engaged in it; or how we are con ducting the struggle. It is only charitable to assume this, for any other supposition would involve too hideous an imputation against all parties who have been hitherto concerned in it, holding authority. Our right hand hath not known the doings of our left. Secrecy, mystery, and consequent error have paralysed our councils, and disgraced the ancient honour of our arms on sea and land. We appear to have forgotten that nothing great was ever done by a petty system of trumpery and trick, and we are paying the penalty thereof.

And very close to the run, studded with trees, sat the skeleton of one of our Indiana men against a large elm tree. Just as he had died one year before. I called the attention of the officers to this Spectacle. The skeleton was in a sitting posture, the flesh having entirely disappeared, and on the ground lay his blue clothes. On the arms of the clothes were the emblems showing the sergeant's stripes and the number of his company and regiment. One of the officers just touched his sabre under the chin of this skeleton and it fell all to pieces. I thought this a wonderful sight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shadow of the War: A Story of the South in Reconstruction Times The period of war had passed; its horrors and its crimes, its heroisms and its martyrdoms, belonged to a past equally sacred in the eyes of both combatants. But throughout that sunny Southland, where nature's gifts are lavished so carelessly, there still remained many marks of those four bloody years. On every side the earth was trampled; - in the mad, reckless fight the invaded people lightly sacrificed possessions they prized next to life, in order that the enemy might not employ them; or the victor destroyed whatever lay in his path, that the victory might be more complete. Between the two, the work was done well; so well, that it is not hard to imagine the satisfaction of the Evil Spirit when he heard the distant sounds. However, the war was ended, and the country had peace, as many people thought. But did they think correctly? By no means. Not immediately was the South prepared to accept the results as final.
