Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In presenting the Photographic Sketch Book of the War to the attention of the public, it is designed that it shall speak for itself. The omission, therefore, of any remarks by way of preface might well be justified; and yet, perhaps, a few introductory words may not be amiss. As mementoes of the fearful struggle through which the country has just passed, it is confidently hoped that the following pages will possess an enduring interest. Localities that would scarcely have been known, and probably never remembered, save in their immediate vicinity, have become celebrated, and will ever be held sacred as memorable fields, where thousands of brave men yielded up their lives a willing sacrifice for the cause they had espoused. Verbal representations of such places, or scenes, may or may not have the merit of accuracy; but photographic presentments of them will be accepted by posterity with an undoubting faith. During the four years of the war, almost every point of importance has been photographed, and the collection from which these views have been selected amounts to nearly three thousand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the War of the Rebellion, From 1861 to 1865: Movements of the Federal and Confederate Armies; Chronological List of Engagements; Reconstruction Proceedings; Proclamations, Statistical Tables, Etc The Slaveholders' Rebellion, the seeds of which had been germinating for more than thirty years, was formally inaugurated in November, 1860. The election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency was the pretense under which the conspiracy was set on foot. The time was propitious. The country was virtually without a government; those who held the reins of power, with few exceptions, were the master-spirits of the insurrection; the public funds were prostituted to the uses of treason; the arms of the nation had been transferred to southern depots; the keys of our public arsenals were in disloyal hands; our army was so dispersed that it could be of no assistance to the country it preferred to serve; our navy was absent in distant seas. The government was at the mercy of men who had sworn to destroy it! Secession of the State of South Carolina. On November 9, 1860, the shipping in Charleston harbor hoisted the Palmetto flag and the same day an unsuccessful attempt was made to remove the government arms to Fort Moultrie. On the 10th a bill calling a State convention passed the Legislature of South Carolina. The Convention met at Columbia on the 17th of December, adjourned to Charleston on account of the small-pox, and on the 20th, passed an ordinance of secession, by a unanimous vote.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise history of an uprising that took down a three-hundred-year-old dynasty and united the great powers. The year is 1900, and Western empires are locked in entanglements across the globe. The British are losing a bitter war against the Boers while the German kaiser is busy building a vast new navy. The United States is struggling to put down an insurgency in the South Pacific while the upstart imperialist Japan begins to make clear to neighboring Russia its territorial ambition. In China, a perennial pawn in the Great Game, a mysterious group of superstitious peasants is launching attacks on the Western powers they fear are corrupting their country. These ordinary Chinese—called Boxers by the West because of their martial arts showmanship—rise up seemingly out of nowhere. Foreshadowing the insurgencies of our recent past, they lack a centralized leadership and instead tap into latent nationalism and deep economic frustration to build their army. Many scholars brush off the Boxer Rebellion as an ill-conceived and easily defeated revolt, but in The Boxer Rebellion and the Great Game in China, the military historian David J. Silbey shows just how close the Boxers came to beating back the combined might of the imperial powers. Drawing on the diaries and letters of allied soldiers and diplomats, he paints a vivid portrait of the war. Although their cause ended just as quickly as it began, the Boxers would inspire Chinese nationalists—including a young Mao Zedong—for decades to come.
