This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bugle-Echoes a Collection of the Poetry of the Civil War, Northern and Southern This collection of Poetry of the Civil War, he gun several years ago for the compiler's personal satisfaction, has grown in extent and interest, until its publication is thought to be justified by the demand for books relating to the war, and by the literary and historical value of the material. Dur ing the war, and soon after, various volumes ap peared, containing indiscriminate collections of Northern or Southern war-songs. Viewed at this distance, most of them seem sad stuff. In that stormy period, patriotic fervor was stronger than poetic impulse, and rude doggerel was Often lifted into favor by a buoyant tune. War-songs, whose popularity was due to their music rather than their words, have, with very few exceptions, been ex cluded from this volume. Its aim has been to pre sent a body of the really notable poetry which the war evoked a record of the feelings and experi ences of that heroic epoch, as they were wrought into lyrical expression. Time enough has elapsed to enable the war-poems of either side to be read without resentment; and hence no piece is excluded for its political sentiments, if it has sufficient poetic merit. Some pieces containing strong passages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Circling Camps: A Romance of the Civil War They Were dancing in the ballroom, and the music the light ow of an Austrian waltz - rippled through the halls, the careless notes Of the melody, played on such a night, returning to me with a sinister echo. Yet the touch Of foreboding was faint, and I felt that it was alike folly and bad taste to be sad when others laughed. And I hear that he has turned back, said Varian, in cool, precise tones. A President without a nation or a nation without a President, which is it - either or both? Now, being elected President, which no one de nies, why does not Lincoln come to claim his own?

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...

Download or read book The Civil War A Narrative written by Shelby Foote and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of Shelby Foote's classic narrative of the Civil War opens with Jefferson Davis’s farewell to the United Senate and ends on the bloody battlefields of Antietam and Perryville, as the full, horrible scope of America’s great war becomes clear. Exhaustively researched and masterfully written, Foote’s epic account of the Civil War unfolds like a classic novel. Includes maps throughout. "Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives…a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters."—Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News "A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power. Eloquent proof that an historian should be a writer above all else." —Burke Davis "To read this great narrative is to love the nation—to love it through the living knowledge of its mortal division. Whitman, who ultimately knew and loved the bravery and frailty of the soldiers, observed that the real Civil War would never be written and perhaps should not be. For me, Shelby Foote has written it.... This work was done to last forever." —James M. Cox, Southern Review

Download or read book All for the Union written by Elisha Hunt Rhodes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-11-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All for the Union is the eloquent and moving diary of Elisha Hunt Rhodes, featured throughout Ken Burns' PBS documentary The Civil War. Rhodes enlisted into the Union Army as a private in 1861 and left it four years later as a twenty-three-year-old colonel after fighting hard and honorably in battles from Bull Run to Appomattox. Anyone who heard these diaries excerpted in The Civil War will recognize his accounts of those campaigns, which remain outstanding for their clarity and detail. Most of all, Rhodes's words reveal the motivation of a common Yankee foot soldier, an otherwise ordinary young man who endured the rigors of combat and exhausting marches, short rations, fear, and homesickness for a salary of $13 a month and the satisfaction of giving "all for the union."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southerners: A Story of the Civil War There is in my mind a picture of the days of Sixty-one - Sixty-five. I close my eyes, and out of the mists of the past there rises before me an old white house on a hill. It is springtime. A child is playing in the grass under the trees. A woman watches at the gate. And a soldier comes home from the wars. A soldier, sick, worn, weary; a haggard, broken wreck of the brave young man who left all at his country's first appeal and looked not back so long as he had strength to stand. His fighting days are over. And the woman meets him at the gate - They come down the long walk under the trees toward the little lad, the woman proudly supporting the man's faltering steps. The child, who has grown to step and speech while the man has been absent, shrinks away from the tired figure in the dusty faded Army blue, who stretches out trembling hands to him with words of affectionate appeal. The little boy does not recognize the stranger until he is caught up against that brave heart and hears the words, "My son, my son!" I close my eyes and see once more my Father, as I saw him on that day nearly forty years ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
