Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War of Independence of the United States of America, Vol. 1 America, and especially some parts of it, havmg been discovered by the genius and intrepidity of Italians, received, at various times, as into a place of asylum, the men whom political or religious dis turbances had driven from their own countries in Europe. The security which these distant and desert regions presented to their minds, appeared to them preferable even to the endearments of country and of their natal air. Here they exerted themselves with admirable industry and forti tude, according to the custom of those whom the fervor of Opinion agitates and stimulates, in subduing the wild beasts, dispersing or destroying pernicious or importunate animals, repressing or subject ing the barbarous and savage nations that inhabited this New World, draining the marshes, controlling the course of rivers, clearing the forests, furrowing a virgin soil, and committing to its bosom new and unaccustomed seeds; and thus prepared themselves a climate less rude and hostile to human nature, more secure and more commo' dious habitations, more salubrious food, and a part of the conve niences and enjoyments proper to civilized life.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... Burgoyne, exercised, two years after, such ravages, and perpetrated such cruelties, as we shall be constrained to relate, in the sequel of this history. Meanwhile, the congress could not overlook in silence the act of conciliation of lord North, without manifesting too great an inflexibility, and avowing that the Americans would listen to no accommodation. They, nevertheless, were not disposed to take a precipitate resolution on this point, and reflected upon it for the space of full two months. By this delay, they intended to show either a great maturity of judgment, or perhaps their indifference towards the act But what appears more certain, is that the war being commenced, they desired to wait the event of the first actions. The answer could not, in effect, be the same, if victory had crowned their efforts, as in case fortune had favored the English arms. When the conciliatory act arrived in America, the 30th of May, it is true the affair of Lexington had taken place, and the Americans had acquired in it a reputation for incontestable courage; but it was no more, in fact, than a warm brush between militia collected in haste, and a detachment of regular troops; not a set battle, from which any prognostic could be drawn relative to the final issue of the war. The congress saw perfectly well, that it would always be time to enter into a negotiation of arrangement; and, in case of any disastrous event, they wished to reserve a way open to accept the conditions which England herself had offered. Victory vould become of no utility to the Americans, if they had commenced by submitting to the terms proposed; and ill fortune would have made the conditions of accord no worse. No risk, therefore, was incurred by temporizing; and there might...

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medallic History of the United States of America, Vol. 1 Although our political history measures but a hundred years, it records so many memorable deeds, and the names of so many illustrious citizens, that our medals form, even now, an historically valuable collection, to say nothing of the great artistiemerit of some of them. During the War of Independence alone, how many exploits, how many heroes do we find worthy of being thus honoredl How numerous would have been our medals if Congress had not been imbued with the conviction that only the very highest achievements are entitled to such a distinction, and that the value of a reward is enhanced by its rarity! In voting those struck after the War of 1812 with Great Britain, and after that of I846 with Mexico, the same discretion was shown. There was still greater necessity for reserve during the late Civil War, and only two were presented during that painful period: one to Ulysses S. Grant, then a major-general, for Victories, and another to Cornelius Vanderbilt, in acknowledgment of his free gift of the steamship which bore his name.

Download or read book Barnes Popular History of the United States of America Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Joel Dorman Steele and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barnes Popular History, of the United States of America, Vol. 1 Part II., embracing the Revolutionary War, begins the book proper. Here will be found a narrative of those years of waiting and sacrifice during which the nation achieved its independence. The battles are described with unusual fulness, as becomes these centennial times and the interest every locality will naturally possess in the events of its own neighborhood. Anecdotes and inci dents illustrative of the feelings of the day are freely interspersed. Accurate maps and diagrams enable the reader to trace easily every campaign, while a calendar indicates the important events of every day throughout the eventful struggle. Part III. Covers the Constitutional History of the country, embracing the formation of the Constitution and the gradual development of the nation down to 1860. This is detailed in four chapters of two decades each, indi cating as many different stages of growth and characteristic ideas. It has two great episodes the war of 1812 - 14, which secured for the young Repub lic the respect of foreign nations and the war with Mexico, which gave to it New Mexico and California, and let the tides of emigration pour into the El Dorado of the West. Part IV. Treats of the Civil War, which resulted in the abolition of slavery and the centralization of the governing power. Part V. Narrates the important events which have occurred since the close of the civil war. In preparing this story of our past, no pains have been spared to gather the best material from every source. The most reliable authorities have been consulted, recent investigations have been examined, and the ripest fruits of historical research have been carefully gathered. It has seemed that a narrative so full of picturesque incident and roman tic adventure, should sweep the reader along as by a charm and a fascination that a history so pregnant with pure thought and high endeavor, should awaken the sympathy and arouse the ambition of the most sluggish and that a freedom which has cost so much sweat of brain and blood, so much treasure of money and life, should grow inexpressibly precious. Thus may the outcome of this fresh attempt to tell the story of our Independence be a truer reverence for the past, a purer patriotism for the present, and a more hopeful outlook for the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of George Washington, Vol. 1 of 2: Commander in Chief of the American Forces, During the War Which Established the Independence of His Country, and First President of the United States The period during which he lived, and acted a conspicuous part in American affairs, was the most interesting of American history.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marquis De La Fayette in the American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: With Some Account of the Attitude of France Toward the War of Independence I have endeavored in these volumes to trace the career of the Marquis de La Fayette in America, from the time when he came here in 1777 until he returned to France after the surrender of Earl Cornwallis, in 1781.

Download or read book The United States and Mexico Vol 1 written by George Lockhart Rives and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States and Mexico, Vol. 1: 1821 1848; A History of the Relations Between the Two Countries From the Independence of Mexico to the Close of the War With the United States The events which led up to the war between the United States and Mexico, with all its momentous consequences to both nations, have been very generally misapprehended. On the American side the war has been treated in histories of the United States as a mere episode in an all-embracing struggle over slavery, which it was not. Mexican historians have treated it as the unescapable result of American aggression in Texas, which it was not. But each of these views embodies a sort of half-truth, and it becomes therefore both difficult and important to disentangle the whole truth. Until very recently a thorough study of the relations between the two countries from the time Mexican independence was achieved down to the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, was not possible. In the first place, the mere fact of the existence of negro slavery in the United States imparted an element of intense bitterness into every discussion of the subject in this country. The North hated and dreaded the extension of slavery, and even before the Mexican War was over the fear that the newly acquired territories - New Mexico and California - might becomes slave states, gave rise to passionate debates which continued until the breaking out of the Civil War. Thereafter the prejudices and passions which were awakened or inflamed by four years of murderous warfare prevented an impartial view until the generation which had so effectually dealt with slavery had nearly passed away.

This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, Vol. 1 In 1765 the first Colonial Congress for redress of grievances assembled at New York. But'it was in no sense an authoritative body. It was composed of delegates from the several Colonial Assemblies, with three exceptions, who acted under special instructions. They set forth a Declaration of R1ghts and Grievances; they petitioned the King, and sent memorials to Parliament. But they only claimed all the privileges of Englishmen as their birthright, and therefore, protested against being taxed by'a body in which they were not represented. _their doings were warmly approved by the Assemblies and the people of all the colonies, and the first step was unconsciously taken toward the political union, the separate national existence, of the English race in America. The lapse of nine years, passed in the endurance of a common oppression from their common mother, and m continuous consultation as to their means of resistance, developed _rapidly a unity of feeling 1n the colo nies, which took form ia the Continental Congress, composed of leading men from twelve provinces, -which assembled 1n Philadelphia. Under the guid ance of this body the power of the British government was in the course of events defied, and the independence of the colonies declared and maintained; but at first it merely imitated its predecessor ln adopting a Declaration of Rights, in which the privileges of Englishmen and British subjects were claimed - most important of all, the right of being bound by no law to which they had not consented by their representatives: It took no active measure of resistance, and merely recommended one which may be called passive a voluntary association, pledging the 'associators to entire commercial non intercourse with Great Britain. -it rs desirable to bring to mind these well known facts in view of the character and the pretensions of the rebellion the course of which we are about to trace, and also of the1 grounds on which the government of the United States took up. Arms for its suppression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
