Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Kennett is a novel by American author Bayard Taylor. Taylor was a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, with a particular focus on travel writing. For this novel Taylor has taken his skills in travel writing and applied them to his own hometown of Chester County, Pennsylvania, which serves as the backdrop for this story. The Story of Kennett is exactly that - a novel about life in rural Pennsylvania in the 1900's. Taylor tells a fictionalized story that clearly draws its inspiration from real people and places. This is a book about country life and country drama and the characters that populate this world. The author gives us a front row seat at a Quaker meeting, details a barn raising, and invites us to both a country wedding and a funeral. A talented author, Taylor's writing places a great deal of emphasis on the environment, from the buildings to the animals to the countryside itself. In this way the essence the story also provides a scenic ride around the area in which the author grew up.

Book excerpt: The Story Of Kennett by Bayard Taylor At noon, on the first Saturday of March, 1796, there was an unusual stir at the old Barton farm-house, just across the creek to the eastward, as you leave Kennett Square by the Philadelphia stage-road.

Download or read book The Story of Kennett and Who Was She written by Bayard Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayard Taylor (James) (1825-1878) was an American poet and writer. A little volume, published at Philadelphia in 1844 under the title Ximena; or, The Battle of the Sierra Morena and Other Poems, brought its author a little cash; and indirectly it did him better service as the means of his introduction to The New York Tribune. With the money and an advance made to him on account of some journalistic work to be done in Europe, he set sail for the East. The graphic accounts which he sent from Europe to The New York Tribune, The Saturday Evening Post, and The United States Gazette were so highly appreciated that on Taylor's return to America he was advised to throw his articles into book form. In 1846 appeared his Views A-Foot; or, Europe Seen with Knapsack and Staff. In 1851, he travelled to Egypt and towards the end of 1852; he sailed for Calcutta, proceeding thence to China, where he joined the expedition of Commodore Perry to Japan. His works include: The Story of Kennett (1866) and Beauty and the Beast (1872).

Download or read book Sherman written by Lee B. Kennett and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-06-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sherman, acclaimed military historian Lee Kennett offers a bold new interpretation of William T. Sherman as civilian, solider, and postwar army commander. This vividly detailed picture follows Sherman from his education at West Point to his abortive career as a San Francisco banker to his triumphant role as Civil War hero. Sherman’s actions during the Civil War were not without controversy, and he was at one point accused of mental incompetence. But with a blend of drive, determination, and mastery of detail, he would go on to become a remarkable leader, capture Atlanta and Savannah in the Great March, and help end the war. Drawing on previously unexplored research, Kennett presents a comprehensive portrait of this singular individual who had so much impact on American history. Lee Kennett is a Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Georgia and the author of G.I.: The American Soldier in World War II and Marching Through Georgia. He lives in North Carolina. “A lively account ... Well-researched, well-reasoned, well-written, and highly recommended.” — Providence Journal

Download or read book The First Air War written by Lee Kennett and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-07-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Lee Kennett takes on the vital task of detailing the World War I aviator in this complete overview of the first air war, that Richard P. Hallion calls, "A welcome and long overdue addition to the literature of military aviation." "The whole subject of the first air war is like some imperfectly explored country: there are areas that have been crisscrossed by several generations of historians; there are regions where only writers of dissertations and abstruse monographs have ventured, and others yet that remain terra incognita," historian Lee Kennett tells his readers. There are very few books that explore military avition and its history to the fullest extent as Kennett has done in First Air War. The purpose of this book is to act as a complete overview on topics and histories that have previously gone unexplored. He tells of World War I fliers and their experiences "on all fronts and skillfully places them in proper context" (Edward M. Coffman, author of The Old Army). In considerate detail, Kennett tells the full story on how a few planes became the armies of the sky.
