The drums no longer throbbed; the bugle-call ceased from echoing among the mountains. A half hour passed. The silence was death-like. As the sun mounted upward it seemed to east darker shadows than usual. The housedog gave utterance to the most plaintive howls. The chickens were gathered anxiously together under a shed, as if it were about to rain. It was. But the rain was to be red. Passing over through the forest, one saw that the troops were drawn up in lines, all with their backs toward the road and the cabin, and facing the direction of the river. That was half a mile away, but its gurgle and plashing could be easily heard in the silence. It sent a shudder through one's frame, as if it were the gurgle and plashing of blood. The only other sound that broke the quiet was the whinnying of cavalry horses far off to the right. The dumb brutes seemed anxious, and nervously answered each other's eager calls. Just as the hand of the clock reached ten there was a report from a gun. It came from the extreme left, miles away. General Garfield stepped quickly to the door and listened. There was another gun, and another, and fifty more, swelling to a roar. Turning to Rosecrans, Garfield said, 'It has begun.' To which the commander replied, 'Then, God help us.' Heavier and heavier became the roar. The engagement on the left was evidently becoming heavier. A quarter of an hour later messengers began to arrive. The enemy was endeavoring to turn the left flank, but was being repulsed with heavy loss. A few moments later came the word that the enemy had captured ten pieces of artillery. The order had been given for one division of the troops to fall back. It was obeyed. But the artillerymen had been unable to move the guns back...

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The extraordinary account of James Garfield's rise from poverty to the American presidency, and the dramatic history of his assassination and legacy, from the bestselling author of The River of Doubt. "Crisp, concise and revealing history.... A fresh narrative that plumbs some of the most dramatic days in U.S. presidential history." —The Washington Post James Abram Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, a renowned congressman, and a reluctant presidential candidate who took on the nation's corrupt political establishment. But four months after Garfield's inauguration in 1881, he was shot in the back by a deranged office-seeker named Charles Guiteau. Garfield survived the attack, but become the object of bitter, behind-the-scenes struggles for power—over his administration, over the nation's future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care. Meticulously researched, epic in scope, and pulsating with an intimate human focus and high-velocity narrative drive, The Destiny of the Republic brings alive a forgotten chapter of U.S. history. Look for Candice Millard’s latest book, River of the Gods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Times of James Abram Garfield, Vol. 15: Twentieth President of the United States Mother. When I get to be a man, I am goi a soldier. At this the giils daugh heartily, and James, chagrined, says, you will see that I will be a soldier, and whip people as Napoleon did. The 'nod natured and matter-of _fact Thomas reminds him that it is far better to be a, farmer, and so the matter drops. The little school that he attends is not far from the house, and within its walls 011 due effort, he easily {leads the boys and girls who are his classmates. One day. He and his brother are, caught whispering, and the teacher sends them home. Thomas stays around therschoel house, l hoping that somehow he will be fo1give11. Jim runs right home and then right back again When he comes into the room _t'jhe teacher says: James, I thought I sent you home. Ididn t I? Yes; ma' am, says Jim. Well, why didn' -t you go 9 I did goz, i jus'tigot back, and, with a laugh, the teachel allows him to stay. He was very clever at this age, and not infrequently he would go to, Sunday-school with the teacher, and wouldsit on the; desk and ask the boys Bible questions, such as these: Who W as the wisest man? Who was the meekest man. 'f Who was in the whale' 8 belly? The boys did not know, and then Jim's superior knowledge would come into play, and he would g1avely inform them, and always with accuracy. Thus the winter passes away, and the summer comes on all too soon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
