Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tall Ships I am not likely to forget the date. It was Nancy's sixteenth birthday and the Colonel gave a mighty party for her at Holly Hall. That evening the Colonel asked me to carry a load of oysters for him across the Bay to Annapolis in my bugeye on the morrow, and Nancy begged to go along. In themselves these were small matters, but from them all the rest followed. Holly Hall, our neighbor, was one of the larger plantations on the Neck. It sprawled across the widest part, from Chesa peake Bay on the west to the coves and inlets that notched the shore of Harris's Creek on the east. From north to south it was more than 3 miles long, and was split neatly down the middle by the oyster-shell road that crossed the Neck. West of the road the great fields where Colonel Savage raised his corn and tobacco and melons ran far down to the Bay. {to the east a considerable stand of the virgin forest remained, and the little clearings here and there among the trees were used for the kitchen gardens and for pasture for his blooded horses and purebred cattle and sheep and swine and fowl.

Download or read book Reading Rivers in Roman Literature and Culture written by Prudence J. Jones and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005-09-07 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines rivers as a literary phenomenon, particularly in the poetry of Vergil. It first considers the Greco-Roman understanding of the river in its primary symbolic roles, cosmological, ritual and ethnographical, and then analyzes the river as a literary device, arguing that descriptions of rivers in Roman poetry are, in many cases, a form of authorial comment on the progress or structure of a narrative.
Download or read book A Walk On Part in the War written by Steven A. Babiuch and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-03-17 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College dropout Scott Sanderson sits in a rural Florida holding cell in the middle of the night, awaiting a hearing the following morning. He has ventured from Los Angeles on his motorcycle to see the country before the responsibilities of post-college adulthood ensnare him. Ignoring his draft status, the journey takes him first to Mardi Gras, then to Florida, where his arrest abruptly curtails the adventure. Faced with jail time, he reluctantly follows the judge's orders and joins the navy. This solidifies his notion that life is stacked against him and that the generation in charge has rigged the world in its favor. In his new situation, Scott deals with many of the issues he left behind: his relationship with his father and his family, his commitment to the service, his relationships with women, and his future. Interwoven with historic events of the era and the lives of his peers both at home and in the navy, A Walk-on Part in the War follows Scott on his quest to find direction in a fractured and confused America. A modern-day odyssey, this novel captures the waning optimism and the rapid pace of individual and social change that overtook mid-1970s America.
