Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes and Incidents of the Mexican War As many of my friends who read this book, will think it strange that a native of Westmoreland county, Penn'a., should figure as a member of the Missouri Volunteers, I wish to Say, by way of ex planation, that I was born near Latrobe, in 1822. I learned the carpenter trade in Uniontown, Fayette county, and in 1844 I went to Lexington, Lafayette county, Missouri, where I followed my trade up to the time of my enlistment, on the sixth day of June, 1846, at which time I became a member of Company B., First Missouri Cavalry, Captain Wil liam Walton, in the regiment commanded by Colo nel Doniphan, and a part of The Army of the West, under General Kearney. After being mus tered out of service I returned to my home, near Latrobe, Westmoreland county, this state, where I have since resided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Character of Gen. Taylor: The American Hero and People's Man; Together With a Concise History of the Mexican War The Song of Ringgold's Artillerists. The Mexican bandits Have crossed to our shore; Our soil has been dyed With our countrymen's gore. The murderer's triumph Was theirs for a day - Our triumph is coming - So fire - fire away! Fire away! Be steady - be ready - And firm every hand - Pour your shot like a storm On the murderous band. On their flanks, on their centre, Our batteries play - And we sweep them like chaff As we fire - fire away! Fire away! Lo! the smoke-wreaths uprising. The belching flames tear Wide gaps through the curtain, Revealing despair. Torn flutters their banner - No oriflamme gay: They are wavering - sinking - So fire - fire away! Fire away! 'Tis over - the thunders Have died on the gale - Of the wounded and vanquished. Hark! hark to the wail! Long the foreign invader Shall mourn for the day, When Ringgold was summoned To fire - fire away! Fire away! Monterey. We were not many - we who stood Before the iron sleet that day - Yet many a gallant spirit would Give half his years, if he but could Have been with us at Monterey. Now here, now there, the shot, it hailed In deadly drifts of fiery spray, Yet not a single soldier quailed When wounded comrades round them wailed Their dying shout at Monterey. And on - still on our column kept Through walls of flame its withering way: Where fell the dead, the Jiving slept, Still charging on the guns which swept The slippery streets of Monterey. The foe himself recoiled aghast, When, striking where he strongest lay. We swooped his flanking batteries past, And braving full their murderous blasts, Stormed home the towers of Monterey. Our banners on those turrets wave, And there our evening bugles play; Where orange boughs above their grave Keep green the memory of the brave, Who fought and fell at Monterey. We are not many - we who pressed Beside the brave who fell that day; But who of us has not confessed He'd rather share their warrior rest, Than not have been at Monterey?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States Navy, and Biographical Sketches of American Naval Heroes: From the Formation of the Navy to the Close of the Mexican War The present work, therefore, differs from any yet published. It is intended to combine the advantages of all, so far as this is possible, within the compass of a single volume. It gives in a compact mass, what is elsewhere to be found only in detached portions. The plan, it is believed, is entirely ori ginal. And the conviction that it will be found acceptable, also, has induced the publishers to expend large sums, in order that the volume may be issued in a style worthy of the subject, and worthy likewise of general patronage.

Download or read book Hero of the Empire written by Candice Millard and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Destiny of the Republic, this thrilling biographical account of the life and legacy of Wintson Churchill is a "nail-biter and top-notch character study rolled into one" (The New York Times). At the age of twenty-four, Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England. He arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels and jumpstart his political career. But just two weeks later, Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape—traversing hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. Bestselling author Candice Millard spins an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a cast of historical characters—including Rudyard Kipling, Lord Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi—with whom Churchill would later share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an extraordinary adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from the Boer War would profoundly affect twentieth century history.
Download or read book Gone for Soldiers written by Jeff Shaara and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gone for Soldiers, Jeff Shaara carries us back 15 years before the momentous conflict he has so brilliantly chronicled, to a time when the Civil War's most familiar names are fighting for another cause, junior officers marching under the same flag in an unfamiliar land, experiencing combat for the first time in the Mexican-American War. In March 1847, 8,000 soldiers landed on the beaches of Vera Cruz, led by the army's commanding general, Winfield Scott-a heroic veteran of the War of 1812, short tempered, vain, and nostalgic for the glories of his youth. At his right hand is Robert E. Lee, a forty year-old engineer, a dignified, serious man who has never seen combat. In vivid prose that illuminates the dark psychology of soldiers trapped behind enemy lines, Jeff Shaara brings to life the familiar characters, the stunning triumphs and soul-crushing defeats of this fascinating, long-forgotten war.
