Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No man has ever been able to write the history of the greater years of a nation so as to include the minor incidents of interest. They pass unnoted, although in some cases they may have had values influential in determining the course of events. It chanced that I myself was an actor in one of these lesser incidents, when second secretary to our legation in France, during the summer of 1862. I may possibly overestimate the ultimate importance of my adventure, for Mr. Adams, our minister of the court of St. James, seems to have failed to record it, or, at least, there is no allusion to it in his biography. In the perplexing tangle of the diplomacy of the darker days of our civil war, many strange stories must have passed unrecorded, but surely none of those remembered and written were more singular than the occurrences which disturbed the quiet of my uneventful official life in the autumn of 1862.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unseen Hand Stories of Diplomatic Adventure Young Simmons had appeared in Fleet Street as a fledgling war-correspondent for the Ladies' Farm & Home Weekly of Columbus, Ohio, having been dizzily elevated from the society column by a managing editor who had no other available material. And he was endeavoring to impress a Young-American point of view upon the men who were shuttling between St. Bride's House and Adelphi Terrace while they waited for transportation and faked their daily cables from anything they could pick up around Whitehall. Someone had put him up at the Press Club as a matter of esprit de corps. Somebody else invited him to dine at the Savage, where hemet such men as Palmer, "R. H. D." Irwin, and other of the Olympians who happened to be passing through at the tune. Simmons had read "Gallegher," thought it a rather improbable sketch, and ventured to correct, upon some trifling point, the big kindly man who, in a few short months, was to become only a memory.
