Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carlyles a Story of the Fall of the Confederacy She found no one in the dining-room, opening upon a brick-walled garden full of blooming flowers. The mahogany furniture, frowning in shadow or twinkling in sunlight; the walls covered with dim portraits in oil and St. Memin prints of people who rather bored her because, in her father's estimation, no one ever seemed of consequence who had not worn a long busk or a tie-wig; the table set for two with china, silver, and damask that knew not stain or speck - all received a passing glance. Everything was in the order exacted by her fastidious sire. A glance at the clock showed a few moments before he would be down. She improved them by running out into the garden.

Download or read book The Crisis of the Confederacy History Classic Reprint written by Cecil Battine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crisis of the Confederacy History The great war which has clouded the dawn of the twentieth century serves to remind the nations of the world that inter national life, like all life, is a struggle to which there is no truce, and that it may at any moment take the form of an appeal to arms. The study of history not only gives the best education to the men whose business it will be to strike for their country, but it also helps every elector in a demo cratic state to understand the serious nature of war, the conditions essential to waging it successfully, and the best means of avoiding it. It is with the hope of increasing, if ever so little, the interest in military history which recent great events have awakened, and of adding a concise account of the most critical phase of the great Civil War to the literature Which already exists, that the author has ventured to offer his book to the public. Though far from professing to be a complete history of the downfall of the military power of the Southern States, it aims at placing before the reader in manageable form an account of the principal events which brought it about.

Download or read book Bastiles of the Confederacy Classic Reprint written by Frank E. Moran and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bastiles of the Confederacy In adding this modest contribution to the annals of the Civil War, the writer has been actuated by motives sufficiently stated in the introductory pages, and not with the intention, much less the wish, to cast a shade of disparagement upon the more voluminous narratives of such writers as John McElroy, Warren Lee, Goss, Ambrose Spencer, Albert D. Richardson, Junius Henri Browne, Willard, Glazier and others, whose pens have pictured with graphic fidelity and eloquence the tragic and pathetic scenes which they witnessed while sharing captivity with him in the military prisons of the South. If a reason is required besides those given in the text for this publication at this time, it seems to be supplied by the posthumous paper of Jefferson Davis on "Andersonville," begun in Belford's Magazine for the present month (January, 1890). The writer has at irregular intervals since the war contributed to the newspapers of Philadelphia, New York and other cities a large number of sketches and reminiscences of his twenty months' experiences and observations in six of the chief war prisons of the South.

A Story of the Southern Confederacy In the following pages, I have endeavored, with the valuable aid of journals and old letters, to illustrate, for the benefit of those interested, the home or social side of the eventful period which intervened between 1860 and 1865. Hawthorne says, as if in extenuation of the fact that he went abroad to seek in ideal Italy material for his crowning work of genius, that no one, without a trial, can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow or mystery, no gloomy wrong or picturesque ruin, to inspire the ambitious pen of poet or novelist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunset of the Confederacy Longer are the shadows, richer are the colors of the evening clouds, deeper is the feeling as the close of the day draws near and the sun goes down: so was it with the War of the Great Rebellion as its end drew near. That momentous struggle had gone on for four long years. Much gallant blood had been shed, thousands of graves had been filled; and now, Sunday, the second day of April, 1865, - a memorable month and a memorable year in the annals of our country, - had come, and the church bells of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, were ringing for the morning service. Bright over the city was the sun in the bending sky, the jonquils were glowing in the gardens, the southern woods were sweet with the bloom of the jessamine, and the fields were gay with the voices of birds and brooks, - but the gloom of the people was deep indeed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Battle's Rim a Story of the Confederate Refugees A long time ago in England, when they first made graded roads, they charged travelers a cer tain sum for using them, which they called 'toll.' When the toll collector, who was armed with a pike, saw a traveler coming, he extended his pike across the road, to remind him that he must pay before he could go further; when the money was paid, the pike was turned, and the traveler could go on his way rejoicing. So it got to be a cus tom to call all roads 'turnpikes' when toll was charged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plain People of the Confederacy The common folk, white and black, constituted the bone and sinew of the Southern Confederacy. White yeomen comprised the bulk of the armies that followed Lee in Virginia, Joe Johnston in the central South, and Kirby Smith beyond the Missis sippi. These rustics were not all exemplary soldiers by any means. Some of them were overly fond of liquor; others were impervious to discipline; thou sands absented themselves without leave; many preferred filth to cleanliness; hundreds played the coward when the bullets whistled close. But on the whole they were good fighters. It is not too much to say that the record of the Confederacy on the field of battle must stand or fall on the basis of their performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Confederate Army: Being the Observations and Experiences of an Alien in the South During the American Civil War ON the origin, progress, and issue of the American Civil War there has, no doubt, been much written from various sources, and from different points of view. Assuming those accounts to be strictly correct and impartial, still it must be acknowledged that in general descriptions of events of historical importance the subject is generally taken in the abstract, wholly and collectively, and there is seldom room for any minute analysis of individual senti ment, personal views, or minor incidents, which might be interesting if given in a personal narrative, even though that narrative extended only to a limited portion of the general subject; and more especially if the narrator hap pened. To be an outsider, having little or no direct interest on either side, but became a participant in the events through force of peculiar circumstances. The writer resided for several years immediately pre ceding the war in the capital of one of the Southern States; and, though his occupation and station were more among the industrious, non-slaveholding, and less political class.
