Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Civil War I have written this account of my experience in the service of my country from memory, aided by old diaries, letters, etc., and have endeavored to be as accurate as possible, in regard to dates and events of historical importance, but if mistakes occur, it cannot be wondered at, after such a lapse of time. Some of my diaries were lost upon the battlefield, and of those that remain, many of the entries were in pencil and are almost effaced. I had no intention when I began writing of making a long story, but as I went on, memory brought back many a stirring scene, many a weary march, many a tender thought of comrades who shared them all with me, and so I have written them down as they came to me. My thanks are due my wife for so carefully editing, and my son for printing my attempt to keep in a permanent form, my recollections of the War of the Rebellion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil War Stories The one hundred and thirty volumes of War Records, Union and Confederate, the publication of which, by the government, was recently completed, contain the inside facts connected with the four years of the Civil War, - the most tremendous period in the history of our nation. Many of the letters and orders published were marked " Private and Confidential," and were never before made public. These big books tell of ambitions realized; of plans which failed; of personal jealousies and disappointments; of suffering by men and women and little children; of manacles and chains; of death of blindfolded men in front of a file of soldiers; of executions on the scaffold; of bloody battles; of weary marches; of prison camps; of wrong, injustice, and sacrifice; of brutality which would disgrace a heathen people; of loyalty worthy of saints; of unjust criticism and querulous fault-finding; of loss of life and loss of fortune; of greed battening on a nation's stress; of generous proffer of all men and women held dear; of the hopefulness, the forbearance, the suffering, the broad charity, and the forgiving spirit of that noblest son of the greatest nation on earth - Abraham Lincoln. To glean from the 139,868 printed pages comprising this stupendous record some of the stories it contains of the intense life of that eventful period, and to render accessible to the general public historical facts which would be otherwise known to only the few, is the purpose of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iconoclastic Memories of the Civil War: Bits of Autobiography We were regarded by the others with profound respect as old soldiers. (our ages, if equal ized, would, I fancy, have given about twenty years to each man.) We gave ourselves. This aristocracy of service, no end of military airs; some of us even going-to the extreme of keep ing our jackets buttoned and our hair combed. We had been in action, too; had shot off a Confederate leg at Philippi, the first battle of the war, and had lost as many as a dozen men at Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford, whither the enemy had fled in trying, Heaven knows why, to get away from us. We now brought to the task of subduing the Rebellion a patriotism Which never for a moment doubted that a rebel was a fiend accursed of God and the angels one for whose extirpation by force and arms each youth of us considered himself specially raised up. It was a strange country. Nine in ten of us had never seen a mountain, nor a hill as high as a church spire, until we had crossed the Ohio River. In power upon the emotions nothing, I think, is comparable to a first sight of mountains. To a member of a plains-tribe, born and reared on the flats of Ohio or In diana, a mountain region' was a perpetual miracle. Space seemed to have taken on a new dimension; areas to have not only length and breadth, but thickness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Civil War: In the United States Now that the lapse of time has softened the memories of the great conflict, and, beneath the kindly intercourse daily becoming cemented between North and South, the whole country is rapidly growing in prosperity, wealth, and power, the acts of men who were violently assailed in the hour Of heated strife can and ought to be viewed with justice and kindness. Especially is this so in regard to those who are now far enough beyond the reach of criticism - in the unknown world. It is the author's hope that nothing may be found in these papers contrary to that spirit of national charity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Civil War When one writes a book, a preface is in order. Mine shall be by way of explanation. The only apology I have to offer for writing this little per sonal prounoun I story is the very simple one that it is true. It has been said that we never talk so well as when talking of ourselves. Be that as it may, in telling my own story, I can tell it only in the first person. It is a story that is very dear to me, probably much more so than it will ever be to anyone else. In writing it I have lived it all over, and it has been so real to me that I have seemed to be again within hospital walls, peopled by those whom I have called up from the shadows of the past. In fancy, my mother, whose name is interwoven as a golden thread throughout the fab ric of the story, has been with me, and I have al most felt the touch of a vanished hand and heard the sound of a voice that is still. Page after page has been written beneath her picture on the wall, and as I have lifted my tear-blinded eyes with yearning gaze to her sweet face, the brown eyes. Have looked lovingly down upon me as though smiling approval upon my work. Oh, that I had undertaken it while she was yet with me!

Download or read book The Civil War in History Classic Reprint written by Asa A. Spear and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War in History The diary of the Civil War has been written by many and distinguished historians, some actors in its scenes, and others not, who have sought to record the great and con trolling events Of that bloody struggle from different view points and Often colored by personal experiences, or told in such way as to add luster to the names and deeds of certain distinguished actors. But these diaries have given us, in the main, a reliable story, from which we may draw safe and abiding lessons for the nation's future guidance. Many diaries of the Civil War have been written in humbler fashion, by less distinguished people, and record ing the deeds Of humbler men, which are none the less truthful, and which, none the less, contain the richer teachings of those strenuous years. Each one of us, com rades, has written such a diary, either upon paper, or in the hearts and lives of those near to us. We have narrated our personal experiences and vividly described scenes which we have witnessed and in which we have been actors, to those who have not forgotten the stories, andby whom lessons, hidden in them, are being discovered, and wrought into the sturdy manhood of the generations that have already followed ours. By the aid of memory we sweep back through the years and over the experiences of life, and great truths rush upon us which we did not see when we were passing through them. Many and wonderful are the lessons already learned by this retrospect, by the study of these diaries. But fifty years is too short a space of time to give a perspective sufficient to disclose all that is stored in these written and unwritten records. We have already learned much. Mighty influences have already proceeded from them. But the historian of the generations yet to come, as distance gives him a fuller and more perfect view of the events and scenes in which we were actors, will find lessons and truths hidden in them, which have not been disclosed to us and which we have not imagined. The nation is nobler and better by reason of. What has already been learned. She has become more powerful for righteousness and has a mightier influence among the na tions, by reason of the unfolding and strengthening of the true spirit of liberty which the Civil War brought.
