Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of York County, Maine: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers James Rosier, an English gentleman, who accompanied Capt. Weymouth as chroniolcr, wrote a Mug account of the newly-discovered country in 1605, but omitted all names and observations of latitude and longitude. In order, it is said, to prevent navigators of other nations from seeking theaamespot. The consequence has been that the river has been gossed to bethe Hudaon, thedamcs, th08sco, and, more recently, the l'enobacot, the Kenncbee, and the arm of the sea north of Monhegan, running up to South Thomaston, and known as the St. George's. Capt. C mouth also discovered the fishing-hanks, which are still known as the George's banks; and although his name has fiiled to displace the old Indian name of Monhegsn, there has been a strong presumption that the nameless river which he found might still wur, like the banks, the name of his patron saint. Dr. Belknap, the historian of New Hampshire, however, conjectured that cmoutb had ascended the Penobscot River, and this opinion was gener ally followed until the late John mckceu, of Brunswick, suggested that Bosier's description better fitted the Kenne beo, and a few years later Kev. David Cushman, of Warren, contended that the St. George's River was intended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Life of Daniel Waldo Lincoln 1784 1815 written by Rebecca M. Dresser and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placed within a comprehensive contextual historical narrative, The Life of Daniel Waldo Lincoln, 1784–1815 offers a compelling portrait of one brilliant but compromised man’s perspective of his changing times. Daniel Waldo Lincoln, the second son of Levi Lincoln, a prominent Massachusetts Democratic-Republican, was destined to become a man of influence. Born in 1784, equipped with wealth, prestige, a Harvard education, powerful friends, and a distinguished family name, Lincoln ranked high among the inheritors of the Revolution whose purpose was to protect the ideals of the nation’s founders. In over 250 private letters, essays, and poems beginning with his first day at Harvard in 1801 and ending just weeks before his death in 1815, Lincoln brings to readers a portrait of privilege as it careened into disappointment. A young man active in Republican circles, an orator and attorney in Worcester, Portland, Maine, and Boston, Lincoln comments on the politics, honor, religion, the War of 1812, and his struggles with romance and alcohol. Written for private eyes, his letters are an unusually candid eyewitness account of early-nineteenth-century Massachusetts interwoven with his personal agonies. This volume is of great use for students and scholars interested in life, society, and politics in nineteenth-century America.

Download or read book A Shower of Stars written by John J. Pullen and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1941 the Medal of Honor has been more often awarded to dead than to living men. Of all the medals issues by the United States Government, this singular medal has had a particularly solemn glory attached to its meaning. But a look at its history reveals that, from its inception, it was steeped in controversy, with threats to its integrity swirling in from all sides. Author John. J. Pullen, during the course of research on the 20th Maine, came across an obscure note indicating that the 27th Maine, a group of nine-month volunteers from York Country, had been issued 864 Medals of Honor—one for every member of the regiment—while the 20th main, having distinguished itself at Little Round Top, garnered only four such medals. Was this discovery the beginning of an untold story of extraordinary bravery, or was it an outrageous blunder? Civil War literature yielded nothing about this wholesale “shower of stars” that had rained down upon the little-known regiment. And, as Pullen tracked down its descendants, he found very little information on the whereabouts of those medals. Thus, a mystery was born. After sifting through piles of War Department documents, as well as letters and diaries found in Maine’s “unofficial archives,” Pullen begins to pieces together a puzzle that had already ensnared many, from Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to such notable figures as Theodore Roosevelt. The hero of this story, however, is Colonel Mark F. Wentworth, the commander of the 27th Maine and later of the 32nd Maine, who thwarted the forces that threatened ignominy on the Medal of Honor, and revealed the true character of valor. “The author has written a fascinating, leisurely book, often disarming in its personal approach to unraveling his mystery” – E. B. Long, Chicago Tribune
Download or read book Cromwell s Convicts written by John Sadler and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cromwell's Convicts not only describes the Battle of Dunbar but concentrates on the grim fate of the soldiers taken prisoner after the battle. On 3 September 1650 Oliver Cromwell won a decisive victory over the Scottish Covenanters at the Battle of Dunbar – a victory that is often regarded as his finest hour – but the aftermath, the forced march of 5,000 prisoners from the battlefield to Durham, was one of the cruellest episodes in his career. The march took them seven days, without food and with little water, no medical care, the property of a ruthless regime determined to eradicate any possibility of further threat. Those who survived long enough to reach Durham found no refuge, only pestilence and despair. Exhausted, starving and dreadfully weakened, perhaps as many as 1,700 died from typhus and dysentery. Those who survived were condemned to hard labour and enforced exile in conditions of virtual slavery in a harsh new world across the Atlantic. Cromwell's Convicts describes their ordeal in detail and, by using archaeological evidence, brings the story right up to date. John Sadler and Rosie Serdiville describe the battle at Dunbar, but their main focus is on the lethal week-long march of the captives that followed. They make extensive use of archive material, retrace the route taken by the prisoners and describe the recent archaeological excavations in Durham which have identified some of the victims and given us a graphic reminder of their fate.
