Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes From the Battlefield or Southern Life During the War After a lapse of many years a retrospective mood possessed my thoughts, and for abrief period I was no longer a man but a boy full of life, and was once more playing with other children on the grounds of the old homestead, enjoying myself as only a healthy lad can; and while thus musing every scene in the grand but cruel panorama of war passed rapidly before my vision and tempted me so strongly that I could not resist the temptation to write and leave to my only child a true record of events as they occurred during that stormy period of our civil war. This is the only apology I can offer for this faulty little publication; but since it is finished, I now offer it to all who are willing to pass its imperfections by; and hope that some of its readers who were so fortunate as to escape the realities of war may by its perusal glean something of interest. And may some of the characters in it be found worthy of emulation. I have added some very beautiful poems by the best of authors, which will be found ex.

A bluebottle fly buzzed up and down above his head, every now and then settling on one of the coloured adver tisements of seaside resorts Weymouth, Swanage, Lul worth, and Poole cleaning its front legs upon the masts of painted ships or upon the sands of impossibly ceru lean waters. Through the open window near which he sat, facing the engine, the sweet airs of an unusually relaxed March morning visited his nostrils, carrying fragrances of young green shoots, of wet muddy ditches, of hazel-copses full of damp moss, and of primroses on warm grassy hedge-banks. Solent was not an ill-favoured man but on the other hand he was not a prepossessing one. Hisshort stubbly hair was of a bleached tow-colour. His forehead as well as his rather shapeless chin had a tendency to slope backward, a peculiarity which had the effect of throwing the weight of his character upon the curve of his hooked nose and upon the rough, thick eyebrows that overarched his deeply sunken grey eyes. 2 WOLF SOLENT He was tall and lean and as he stretched out his legs and clasped his hands in front of him and bowed his head over his bony wrists, it would have been difficult to tell whether the goblinish grimaces that occasionally wrinkled his physiognomy were fits of sardonic chuck ling or spasms of reckless desperation. His mood, whatever its elements may have been, was obviously connected with a crumpled letter which he more than once drew forth from his side-pocket, rapidly glanced over, and replaced, only to relapse into the same pose as before. The letter which thus affected him was written in a meticulously small hand and ran as follows MY DEAR SIR Will you be so kind as to arrive at Ramsgard on Thursday in time to meet my friend Mr. Darnley Otter about five oclock in the tea-room of the Lovelace Hotel He will be driving over to Kings Barton that afternoon and will convey you to his mothers house, where for the present you will have your room. If it is convenient I would regard it as a favour if you will come up and dine with me on the night of your arrival. I dine at eight oclock and we shall be able to talk things over. I must again express my pleasure at your so prompt accept ance of my poor oifer. Yours faithfully, JOHN URQUHART. He re-invoked the extraordinary incident which had led to his prompt acceptance of Mr. Urquharts poor offer. He was nowthirty-five and for ten years he had labo riously taught History at a small institution in the city of London, living peacefully under the despotic affection of his mother, with whom, when he was only a child of THE FACE ON THE WATERLOO STEPS 3 ten, he had left Dorsetshire, and along with Dorsetshire all the agitating memories of his dead father...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ante Bellum: Southern Life as It Was A ssnsaous enemy will forgive us for taking a retrospective view of scenes that in a few years will fade from our memories; and although they may consider these home pictures too highly colored by a prejudiced hand, you, my friends, will recognize the accuracy of the drawing, and cast with me one last, fond, lingering look on our Southern homes as they existed before the red hand of war made them desolate. If the sentiments expressed in these pages should give offense to any, it must be remem bered that they only indicate in a slight degree that feeling which helped to bring about the long and bloody war; and as it was my desire to adhere strictly to facts, I have been compelled to slightly introduce a trite subject. With the hope that these truthful sketches of Southern life may divert for a brief season your thoughts from the dull monotony of the present gloomy state of our country, as they have mine, I cast forth upon the uncertain billows this frail bark freighted with delightful memories of the happy past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Heroes: Or the Friends in War Time In presenting this volume to the public, the writer would say that he has been only one of many who have for a long time realized the importance of preserving, in book form, a record of certain facts concerning the sufferings of Friends in the South, during the war of 1861-65. Others have begun the work, but from various causes they have thus far failed to complete it. As years have passed, the opportunities for gaining reliable information have become less and less favorable, on account of the death of some of those who, "for conscience toward God, endured grief, suffering wrongfully." To delay longer would make the task of writing such a book still more difficult. This work has therefore been undertaken with the desire to preserve for coming generations this portion of a hitherto unwritten history. To all those who have so kindly aided in the preparation of the manuscript, the writer would hereby express his appreciation and gratitude; and it is his hope that the deeply interesting nature of the subject may induce the critical reader to pass lightly over the numerous defects which may be discovered in the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes of Battle Encouraged by the pleasant reception Of Alas kana, the author has selected from a considerable number of poems, these few which are Of a martial character, originally intended to be published sepa rately from time to time in the monthly magazines, the writing of which has extended over many years. He hopes that their perusal may prove interesting and some of them call to mind the un selfish patriotism Of those brave men who were ready and willing to sacrifice much, even life itself, for the cause of Liberty and Union. As I ride over the Revolutionary fields of struggle and contemplate the sufferings and hardships of those noble men, I think the heroes of that day should never be forgotten, and the roads over which they marched and the fields on which they fought, victorious or not, should be revered in memory. NO pen could ever produce pictures as vivid asthose which come back to me when I also recall the battle-fields of the Great Rebellion at Antietam and Gettysburg, when subsequent to the fighting several other surgeons and myself who had been furnished with the credentials of the Christian Commission, under which we volunteered, and others from the Sanitary Commission, hurried to the relief of the wounded and dying. I believe that the more fully we realize at what fearful cost the independence of the United States, and the preservation of the whole Union were attained, the more surely the American peo ple will always protect the country from a recur rence of distrust and rebellion. Andi sincerely hope that no battle-cry shall ever again resound within our Union, and that no misunderstanding Shall ever arise which a peaceful interchange of opinions may not rectify.

C., one sunny day in 1864, meditating upon recent events of the Civil War, and wondering if he should find his two young lady cousins at the Convent school, in the capital city. His horse was a beautiful Kentucky bay, full of spirit and power, and he did not need the spur to keep a moderate Speed along the highway, which was wet and muddy from recent rain. The horse and his accoutrements were bespattered by the pasty, red clay of the South, and splashes of the pigmented soil covered the rider's cavalry boots and gray uniform so freely that butternut color pre dominated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lifetime Recollections: An Interesting Narrative of Life in the Southern States Before and During the Civil War, With Incidents of the Bombardment of Atlanta by the Union Forces, the Author Being Then a Resident of That City This book is written by my own hand, and sets forth the events of my life, both under moral and spiritual law. It shows the difference between natural and divine history, and God's supremacy over all. This volume does not contain fiction but facts, for it gives the events of my life just as I passed through them, and shows the Truth as I experienced it and learned to know it. Though in writing it I have found so many broken links in the chain of thought, that the endeavor to weld them together has been almost like trying to gather, one by one, the pebbles on the ocean shore, or trying to replace golden moments forever past. I have done my best to make the narration complete. I have written in simplicity, and for the redeeming of our race, and I dedicate my book to the Lord, trusting that the Holy Spirit may carry its message to the hearts of all humanity - both Jews and Gentiles.
