Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Son of the Old Dominion One soft yet brilliant day of spring found Captain Geoffry Flower - as handsome a young sprig of His Majesty King George III.'s Royal Dragoons as one would be likely to see in a month o' Sundays - riding along the shady road of a wooded ridge on the west bank of the Potomac in Virginia. Cap-a-pie, the horseman was equipped with nice regard for the requirements of military undress in an officer of wealth and station; his rosy Saxon cheeks, his bright blue eyes, his athletic figure, his look of vigorous health; the mounted servant, the pack-horses carrying portmanteaux and sundry rich accoutrements - all these should have ensured their owner against a clouded brow. But to Flower the times were evidently out of joint; his open face wore something nearly akin to a blush, combined with something very like a frown. Here was his grievance.

Download or read book The Youth of the Old Dominion Classic Reprint written by Samuel Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth of the Old Dominion Many narratives of our early history which are particularly designed for novices are read as tasks, laid aside with a sense of weariness, and their statistical details soon forgotten. I venture an experiment, endeavoring to give to the Past the aspect and hue of Life, to excite a personal interest in events which would secure little or none as unclothed facts. For this purpose, something of fancy has been necessarily admitted, but all idea of fiction is seriously disclaimed. Any one familiar with the annals of youthful Virginia will here recognize, it is believed, a scrupulous regard to historic truth. A volume designed for popular reading need not be encumbered with references. They might have been given profusely, but will be found only where some statement in the text has seemed particularly to require them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Gentlemen of Virginia: A Novel of the Old Regime in the Old Dominion In this novel I have endeavored to fulfil one of the chief functions of history in the modern conception of historical writing. Incidentally to the telling of a love story, I have sought to present a faithful picture of the life of the time and region of which I have written; to set forth its manners, habits and conditions with accuracy and in detail to por tray the character of the people, to show what were their ideals and their standards, and to present them as they were to readers of a later and far less picturesque time. In aid of this purpose I have mentioned many details of custom and condition which may seem trivial in themselves, but which are imperatively necessary to the verisimilitude of the picture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Dominion: Her Making and Her Manners It has from a long time back been an author's privilege to say a word more or less confidential to his Reader before committing himself in cold type to the Public. The author of these Essays now avails himself of this privilege to express the hope that whatever their faults may be, they may lead some of his readers to turn for themselves to the almost unknown page of their Country's History: the Record of the early life of "The Antient Dominion." Few know it now, yet no page of the History of the Race will better repay patient study; for none shines with more heroic deeds, or more sublime fortitude and endeavor. Her History belongs not to the present Virginia alone. It is the heritage of every State carved from the mighty empire once embraced within her borders.

This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Swallow Barn, or a Sojourn in the Old Dominion Painters, I profess to make a strong likeness, even if it should be thought to be hard, -and what better workmen might call a daub, -as to which I must leave my reader to judge for himself when he has read this book. The outward public award on this point was kind, and bestowed quite as much praise as I could have desired - much more than I expected - when the former edition appeared. But the progress has brought out many competitors since that day, and has, perhaps, rendered the public taste more scrupulous. A book then was not so perilous an Offering as it is now in the great swarm of authorships. We run more risk, just now, of being let alone, - unread, - untalked Of - though not, happily, unpuffed by a few newspapers, who are favorites with the publisher, and owe him some courtesies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Old Dominion: From the Settlement to the End of the Revolution Instead of passing his time in idleness with other young men in the town of Willoughby, he went out to the woods near, and built a sott of house for himself of the boughs of trees. In this he intended to live, and as to supporting himself, -he meant to shoot deer and live on the venison. He then got together as many books as he could on war like matters, and retiring to his Bower, as he called it, set about studying them. By this means he taught him self the art of war; but as he knew that a soldier must fight with his own hands, be resolved also to learn how to use every sort of weapon. At that time men fought on horseback often, and one of the most important of their weapons was the lance. This was a long wooden affair with a sharp iron point, and soldiers held the head straight in front of them, to strike their enemies as they rode against them at full gallop. Young John Smith had a horse and lance, and he now practised to make himself skilful. This he did by Suspending a ring to the bough of a tree, after which he went off to some distance and rode at it at full gallop, pointing his lance at the ring, in order to carry it off from the bough. By repeating this over and over, he at last became expert in it, and then he knew he could strike an enemy on horseback. He also practised with his sword to make his eye keen and his wrist tough, and fired at the trees with his pistol to be come an expert marksman. By this means he grew to be a skilful soldier; and then he set out in search of advent ui'cs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Dominion Line: Along the Historic James River The fire and smoke Of three different wars have marred the sod, and the tramp Of battalions has sounded along its banks. The army of Cornwallis on its march from Petersburg to Yorktown, crossed the river at Westover, thence onward across the country to York River to meet the disastrous close of the most dramatic event of the eighteenth century. Benedict Arnold with his ruthless Hessians set fire to Old Warwick and to Aiken's Landing. The stain of dishonor on his crested blade, however, stood out in no sharper relief to those whom he had betrayed than it did to those who in warfare used him and in peace despised him. Norfolk and Hampton were both stormed with shot and shell by British guns; and in later times the bloody, fratricidal strife between North and South centered on the James.
