Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Confederate Soldier in Egypt The author's purpose has not been to write a history of Egypt, but to trace to their probable causes the events which have for the last decade made Egypt so conspicuous a thread in the tangled skein of Old World politics. An acquaintance of more than a quarter of a century with Eastern lands and peoples, and ten years passed in high command in Egypt itself, with unlimited opportunities for study and observation in every direction, may perhaps justify the writer in hoping that the results here presented may not be unwelcome to the general reader.

Download or read book A Confederate Soldier in Egypt written by William Wing Loring and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Loring was one of many Confederate officers who after the close of the War of the Rebellion offered their services to foreign rulers. A number of these officers took their way to Egypt, and the author of this book was one of the most successful ot them all. He was made Pasha by the Khedive, and he rendered that ruler honorable and efficient service. It was natural that Loring Pasha should have been led to give his Egyptian experiences durable shape, and his book gives a clear and agreeably written account of the country. Such a writer has much more authority than the mere traveler. General Loring lived long in the country, and in intimate relations with persons at the centre of affairs; being withal a man of thought and intelligence he could not, with his opportunities, fail to acquire and retain impressions and facts of interest and value.

Download or read book The Extraordinary Life of Charles Pomeroy Stone written by Blaine Lamb and published by Westholme Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Pomeroy Stone (1824-1887) is best known for the 1861 Civil War battle at Ball's Bluff, Virginia, where a close associate of Lincoln's was killed while under Stone's command. Stone was blamed for his death and imprisoned without charges or trial. His story, however, goes far beyond that episode. Ranging from the Halls of Montezuma to Gold Rush California, and from the pyramids of Egypt to the foot of the Statue of Liberty, The Extraordinary Life of Charles Pomeroy Stone: Soldier, Surveyor, Pasha, Engineer by historian Blaine Lamb brings to light the many facets of Stone's remarkable life and career. After graduating from West Point, Stone served with General Winfield Scott in the Mexican-American War; he then commanded a military depot in San Francisco until joining a bank managed by William Tecumseh Sherman during the heady days of the Gold Rush. Stone was then recruited to survey Sonora, Mexico, for American interests. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Stone was in Washington, and his leadership was critical to protecting Lincoln and the city from Confederate attack. Given a field command, he was then made scapegoat for the Ball's Bluff debacle. After being released from prison, he served with distinction, leading a charge during the battle of Pleasant Hill. Following the war he was recommended by Sherman to the khedive of Egypt to modernize the Egyptian army. Serving nine years as "Stone Pasha," he entertained Ulysses S. Grant while the ex-president visited the country in 1878. Grant then recommended the only man he felt could carry out the complex job of constructing France's great gift to the United States: the Statue of Liberty. Stone rose to the challenge, quietly providing his expertise to erect this enduring national symbol. As the author weaves together these and other stories and characters, including Alexander von Humboldt, Thaddeus Lowe, Chinese Gordon, Khedive Ismail, and Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the center of this tale of nineteenth-century adventure, war, and intrigue remains Stone himself, a man of honor, steadfast loyalty, and perseverance. -- Inside jacket flaps.

Download or read book The Confederate War written by Gary W. Gallagher and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If one is to believe contemporary historians, the South never had a chance. Many allege that the Confederacy lost the Civil War because of internal division or civilian disaffection; others point to flawed military strategy or ambivalence over slavery. But, argues distinguished historian Gary Gallagher, we should not ask why the Confederacy collapsed so soon but rather how it lasted so long. In The Confederate War he reexamines the Confederate experience through the actions and words of the people who lived it to show how the home front responded to the war, endured great hardships, and assembled armies that fought with tremendous spirit and determination.Gallagher’s portrait highlights a powerful sense of Confederate patriotism and unity in the face of a determined adversary. Drawing on letters, diaries, and newspapers of the day, he shows that Southerners held not only an unflagging belief in their way of life, which sustained them to the bitter end, but also a widespread expectation of victory and a strong popular will closely attuned to military events. In fact, the army’s “offensive-defensive” strategy came remarkably close to triumph, claims Gallagher—in contrast to the many historians who believe that a more purely defensive strategy or a guerrilla resistance could have won the war for the South. To understand why the South lost, Gallagher says we need look no further than the war itself: after a long struggle that brought enormous loss of life and property, Southerners finally realized that they had been beaten on the battlefield.Gallagher’s interpretation of the Confederates and their cause boldly challenges current historical thinking and invites readers to reconsider their own conceptions of the American Civil War.

Book excerpt: "An erotic scandal chronicle so popular it became a byword... Expertly tailored for contemporary readers.

Manley drew on her experience as well as on an obsessive observation of her milieu to produce this fast paced narrative of political and erotic intrigue.

Book excerpt: 'From the first shot fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, to the last shot fired at Appomattox, food played a crucial role in the Civil War. In Starving the South, culinary historian Andrew Smith takes a fascinating gastronomical look at the war and its aftermath. At the time, the North mobilized its agricultural resources, fed its civilians and military, and still had massive amounts of food to export to Europe. The South did not; while people starved, the morale of their soldiers waned and desertions from the Army of the Confederacy increased.....' (Book Jacket)

Download or read book I Remain Yours written by Christopher Hager and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies—and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home—letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word. Christopher Hager presents an intimate history of the Civil War through the interlaced stories of common soldiers and their families. The previously overlooked words of a carpenter from Indiana, an illiterate teenager from Connecticut, a grieving mother in the mountains of North Carolina, and a blacksmith’s daughter on the Iowa prairie reveal through their awkward script and expression the personal toll of war. Is my son alive or dead? Returning soon or never? Can I find words for the horrors I’ve seen or the loneliness I feel? Fear, loss, and upheaval stalked the lives of Americans straining to connect the battlefront to those they left behind. Hager shows how relatively uneducated men and women made this new means of communication their own, turning writing into an essential medium for sustaining relationships and a sense of belonging. Letter writing changed them and they in turn transformed the culture of letters into a popular, democratic mode of communication.
