Book excerpt: Excerpt from Army Life: A Private's Reminiscences of the Civil War Many volumes have been published in regard to the late Civil War in America. By these the nation is made familiar with the movements of our armies, and the results of those great military campaigns. These volumes have been written by civilians and officers of high rank, and consequently the story of the private soldier's life has never been told. That life was made up of events and surrounded by circum stances of the most interesting character. Not interesting to the soldier alone, but of interest to his friends, and all who enjoy the fruits of victory purchased by his sacrifices and patriotism. It was to supply, to a limited extent, this want so universally felt that the writer consented to furnish The Sketches of Army Life for the Republican Journal, of Belfast, Maine. The officers had spoken, but this was a voice from the ranks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan: A Confederate Soldier This unpretentious work is not the product of a literary ambition. Though my story deals with events that will live forever in the records of our country, I have not sought to give it the wings of poetic fancy whereby it may fly into the libraries of the earth. Within the happy family circle, from which my children are now gone, these oft-recounted recollections became a part of their education. I permitted them to turn the pages of my memory, as the leaves of a book, that they might learn the vanished glory of the old South - the loving loyalty and the sad travail of her people. And I trust that they learned also that our unfortunate Civil War - now, thank God, nearly sixty years behind us - was a clash of honest principles. That there were wild-eyed agitators and extremists on both sides, and that each had its scalawags and low-flung ruffians, there can be no doubt (and some of these - alas!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soldier in Our Civil War, Vol. 1: A Pictorial History of the Conflict, 1861-1865, Illustrating the Valor of the Soldier as Displayed on the Battle Field Early a generation has passed since the armies and navies of citizen-soldiers who had survived the hardships of over four years of War were mustered out and returned to their homes to enjoy the full fruits of peace in a united Republic. On one side had been gathered over two millions of men, on the other nearly every available man who could be put to service in the field, together forming an army numbering nearly four millions. The survivors of the conflict are fast passing away, and a new generation is forming, to whom the great events of those years of bloodshed can be but a faint memory, or as a tale that is told.

Download or read book The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by David Emmons Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Some twenty-eight years ago I wrote and published a small book recounting my personal experiences in the Civil War, but this book is long out of print, and the publication exhausted. At the urgent request of some of my old comrades who still survive, and of friends and my own family, I have undertaken the task of rewriting and publishing this story. As stated in the preface to the former volume, the principal object of this work is to record, largely from memory, and after the lapse of many years (now nearly half a century) since the termination of the war between the states of the Federal Union, the history, conduct, character and deeds of the men who composed Company D, Seventh regiment of Virginia infantry, and the part they bore in that memorable conflict. The chief motive which inspires this undertaking is to give some meager idea of the Confederate soldier in the ranks, and of his individual deeds of heroism, particularly of that patriotic, self-sacrificing, brave company of men with whose fortunes and destiny my own were linked for four long years of blood and carnage, and to whom during that period I was bound by ties stronger than hooks of steel; whose confidence and friendship I fully shared, and as fully reciprocated.

This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red Badge of Courage an Episode of the American Civil War The death of the author of The Red Badge of Courage, at Badenweiler, Baden, on June 5, 1900, took from the contemporary literature an original and striking figure whose force and insight remain exemplified in his best work as qualities all too rare. His was one of the many cases of a genius which is explicable on no apparent grounds of heredity or environment. The first Stephen Crane came to Massachusetts from England in 1635. The third of the name settled in New Jersey, near Newark, and held high office at the time of the Revolution. The family was one of force, and the work of the members was done well in politics, in war, and in the ministry, but there was apparently no distinctly literary influence within the family itself, save such as may have been incidental to the profession of the Rev. J. T. Crane, the father of the novelist. Stephen Crane was born on November 1, 1871, at 14 Mulberry Street, Newark, N. J.

Download or read book Johnny Reb and Billy Yank Classic Reprint written by Alexander Hunter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnny Reb and Billy Yank There were thousands of soldiers on both sides during the Civil War, who, at the beginning, started to keep a diary of daily events, but those who kept a record from start to finish can be counted on the fingers of one hand. I was so fortunate as to save most of my notes made during the four years of conflict, and in 1865, having no fixed pursuit in life, I spent most of the time in arranging and writing up these incidents of camp life while fresh in my memory. I have given in these pages veracious account of the life of a sol dier in Lee's army. The public have been surfeited with war literature. There is hardly a prominent officer North or South who has not rushed into print at every available opportunity; yet no officer high in rank dared write the exact truth, for the reason he has the feelings, the self-love and the reputations of those who served under him to con sider. A private in the ranks, who has learned something of the art of war through tough experience in two branches of the service, should be able to write understandingly of that internecine conflict which rocked America like an earthquake. At least he can afford to tell the truth as to what he saw, heard and thought without fear or favor. And above all, a private in the ranks, having no grievance, can be fair and just. In those days Johnny Re and Billy Yank were good com rades when off duty. They had a profound respect for each other, and, as Bulwer says, It is astonishing how much we like a man after fighting him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from God's War To tho end that the memory of tho men and women whose valor and sacrifices defended and preserved the Republic through the trial as by fire of tho gloat civil war in America shall not perish from the earth; that their descendants and successors may appreciate tho splendor of the steadfast patriotism and patient resolute endurance to which humanity owes so much; and in the hope that the world may the better understand and value the lessons taught by a divinely ordained educational process, this story has been written. Persuaded that its faults must be many and grievous (since, how should a plain layman, sometime soldier, with no claims to literary skill, avoid them?), and conscious of its inadequacy, the author submits it; trusting that it may, at least in some small degree, accomplish the work whereunto it is sent.
