Download or read book A Rebel in Two Federal Pens Annotated written by A Rifleman, ESQ and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know you're in for a humorous tale as soon as you see the author's pen name and read the Preface. Before Lee had even surrendered, A. Rifleman was quickly scribbling his memoirs, having just been released from five months in Yankee penitentiaries. With his remarkable (very colloquial) vocabulary and spelling, he entertains throughout, while exhorting you to understand that he is painting an unvarnished portrait. He even begs pardon from his fellow Southerners for mentioning examples of Yankee kindnesses to him while incarcerated. This Confederate soldier was obviously educated, however bad some of his spelling (why his editor didn't correct it is unknown). We have left it all intact. He even tosses in use of French and Latin, and makes up his own words where he feels it's necessary. "Any super-fastidious reader who objects to my word-coinage, is hereby informed, that he is at perfect liberty to draw his pencil through the obnoxious polysyllable..." Much has been written about the horrors of Andersonville and Libby in the South. The book is also valuable for its depiction of northern POW conditions during the American Civil War. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Download or read book A Lincoln Man in the Rebel Army Annotated written by William Edgar Hughes and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-11-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Confederate memoir like no other. W.E. Hughes was an admirer of Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War for two reasons: 1. He saw Lincoln as a lawyer in the courtroom. 2. He saw Lincoln debate Stephen A. Douglas. Despite deciding that Lincoln was "a bigger man than the Little Giant—Douglas," when war came, Illinois-born Hughes went south to fight for the Confederacy. He gives his reasons and tells of his time in service in this very charming and lively memoir by a successful and intelligent man. In addition to his wartime experiences, Hughes shares a lifetime of tales of his adventures as a stage coach driver, cowboy, lawyer, real estate baron, and businessman. He traveled extensively and had a much-adored granddaughter who shared many of his adventures. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

Download or read book Irish Catholic Writers and the Invention of the American South written by Bryan Giemza and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive study, Bryan Giemza retrieves a missing chapter of Irish Catholic heritage by canvassing the literature of American Irish writers from the U.S. South. Beginning with the first Irish American novel, published in Winchester, Virginia, in 1817, Giemza investigates nineteenth-century writers contending with the turbulence of their time -- writers influenced by both American and Irish revolutions, dramatists and propagandists of the Civil War, and memoirists of the Lost Cause. Some familiar names arise in an Irish context, including Joel Chandler Harris and Kate (O'Flaherty) Chopin. Giemza then turns to the works of twentieth-century writers, such as Margaret Mitchell, John Kennedy Toole, and Pat Conroy. For each author, Giemza traces the impact of Catholicism on their ethnic identity and their work. Giemza draws on many never-before-seen documents, including the correspondence of Cormac McCarthy, interviews with members of the Irish community in Flannery O'Connor's native Savannah, Georgia, and Giemza's own correspondence with writers such as Valerie Sayers and Anne Rice. This lively history prompts a new understanding of how the Catholic Irish in the South helped invent a regional myth, an enduring literature, and a national image.
