If your notion of a Victorian pastor tending his flocks is stuffy and humorless, you haven't read A.M. Stewart. In one of the most articulate, witty, and compassionate accounts of life at the front during the American Civil War, Stewart will make you laugh and break your heart.His profoundly ironic sense of humor took aim at all aspects of Army life, including that of tending to the spiritual needs of the men he saw fighting, being maimed, and dying all around him.He had little use for commanders who wasted the lives entrusted to them. He wrote with passionate anguish about the horrors he saw and how senseless was much of the slaughter.During a lull in the Battle of the Wilderness, Stewart came upon a wounded rebel:"Dismounting, I drew near him, with the familiar salutation:Well, friend, how are you getting along?"Eyeing me with evident suspicion, mingled with some fierceness he slowly responded:"Wall, stranger, bad enough.""Any thing I can do for you?" was inquired.Seeing I was not about to insult or kill him outright, his tone and manner became greatly modified, while responding: "See here, STRANGER! now, in the first place, I oughtn't to have been here."Assuring him that no difference of opinion existed respecting that matter, and that this was not the time and place to have the matter discussed and settled, the question was repeated: "What can be done for you?"Stewart's kindness soon had the young man in tears.For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1865 edition. Excerpt: ... Imagination is a blessed gift of God. How we live in it, revel in it, delight ourselves in it! Through it the soul is regaled with flowers of every hue, and scented with odors of every fragrance. By it the heart is often refreshed with things more real than reality itself. Happy compensation this, to those who are compelled to stay at home. They have, most frequently, the larger share of enjoyment. Their imaginings of distant persons, places and things, are ever much above the reality. Thus more to them than to those who see. It has never been my happiness to see, for the first time, a famed person, a noted object, or historic place, without feelings of disappointment, and these often sore ones--so much did the ideal excel the original. Hardly a sarcasm was it, uttered by that sarcastic old curmudgeon, that " no man was great in the eyes of his own valet." The child's disappointment was natural, carried on its father's shoulder, in the midst of a crowd, to see General Washington pass. The multitude clapped and shouted, yet did the child look in vain for the wonderful personage. In the midst of the tumult, it shouted out: "Where's Washington, pa?" "There, child. That's he." "No, pa, no. That's not Washington. Why that man is just like any body else!" Our Capital.--Well, I have seen Washington, and been disappointed. Have seen, for the first time, this noted centre of wealth and wisdom, of power and influence, belonging to that famous old gentleman, called "Uncle Sam." John Randolph designated this same place, "the city of magnificent distances." Since then it has no doubt partially filled up. Yet still it may fairly be defined by the young lady's comparison of her admirer's beard. Dandy must have whiskers. That he would. The entire...

In all of the dusty volumes of Civil War memoirs that no one reads anymore, once in a while we come across one such as this. Written by a man with literary aspirations from a regiment of like-minded soldiers, Albert Marshall’s use of the pen produced more eloquence than did that of many of his contemporaries. He left one of the most compelling accounts of the siege of Vicksburg from a private soldier's point of view. He also wrote of service in Texas, which is rare among Civil War memoirs. Eloquent, funny, poignant, and immensely satisfying, Marshall's memoir from his journal is one of the best of the genre. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

When the American Civil War came, John Hubbard joined the Confederate cavalry. Early in the war he made this observation: "...one day I met a soldier speeding a magnificent black horse along a country road as if for exercise, and the pleasure of being astride of so fine an animal. On closer inspection, I saw it was Bedford Forrest, only a private like myself, whom I had known ten years before down in Mississippi. I had occasion afterward to see a good deal of him." Nathan Bedford Forrest, known as "Devil Forrest" and "the Wizard of the Saddle" rose from a private soldier to one of the most important and innovative Confederate generals in the Civil War. Historian Shelby Foote has called Forrest "one of the two true geniuses produced by the Civil War," the other being Abraham Lincoln. Hubbard was in the Seventh Tennessee Regiment, eventually part of Forrest's cavalry. He was an educated man who brought an articulate and sober assessment to the work late in life. He was not at the Fort Pillow massacre of black troops and unfortunately attempts to justify it. He brings to this work the southern unreconstructed point of view but not altogether.

Only fourteen years old when he first tried enlisting in the Union army, he was not quite seventeen when he mustered out at the end of the war. Along the way, Stanton Perry Allen saw plenty of fighting and dying, and served on the staff of General George Gordon Meade, the hero of Gettysburg. In this hilarious, at times irreverent, but also sorrowful and respectful memoir, Allen brought his skill as a professional writer and observer to the creation of one of the most pleasurable Civil War memoirs you'll ever read. After the war he was a journalist, editor, lieutenant in the New York National Guard, and a clergyman. His proximity to great events and people, and his ability to bring those years to life makes this a cherished personal account of the American Civil War. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Bosworth stands alongside Naseby and Hastings as one of the three most iconic battles ever fought on English soil. The action on 22 August 1485 brought to an end the dynastic struggle known as the Wars of the Roses and heralded the dawn of the Tudor dynasty. However, Bosworth was also the most famous lost battlefield in England. Between 2005 and 2010, the techniques of battlefield archaeology were used in a major research programme to locate the site. Bosworth 1485: a battlefield rediscovered is the result. Using data from historical documents, landscape archaeology, metal detecting survey, ballistics and scientific analysis, the volume explores each aspect of the investigation – from the size of the armies, their weaponry, and the battlefield terrain to exciting new evidence of the early use of artillery – in order to identify where and how the fighting took place. Bosworth 1485 provides a fascinating and intricately researched new perspective on the event which, perhaps more than any other, marked the transition between medieval and early modern England.

Walt stood up, slapped his thighs, and began to crow like a cock. 'Bring on the whole German army!' he shouted. 'Bring them on all together, or one at a time. I can whip them all!' The greatest First World War novel to come out of America, Company K is the unforgettable account of one US Marine company, from initial training, through to the trenches in France and post-war rehabilitation. Written in 1933 by a decorated Marine hero, this is an unflinching, visceral depiction of the brutal reality of war.
