Download or read book Correspondence of John Sedgwick, Major General (Expanded, Annotated) written by Major-General John Sedgwick and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last words of Major General John Sedgwick as he strode in front of his men in the open at Spotsylvania were, "What? Men dodging this way for single bullets? What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? Why are you dodging like this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." In an instant, he was struck down by a Confederate sharpshooter from 1,000 yards. Much loved by his men and his comrades in arms, even Robert E. Lee expressed sorrow at the death of an old friend. General George Meade wept and Grant said losing Sedgwick was worse than losing a division. He was wounded several times in battle and was considered a very solid commander. When moved to a new command, his old division presented him with a sword made in Europe costing $1,000. From the Mexican War through his death in 1864, here are the letters of this little-written-about general. Both volumes are presented here with letters to his family and comrades. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of John Sedgwick, Major-General I received this morning your letter of the I 5th. I expected to have left this post yester day for Fort Leavenworth, but shall not leave till to-morrow. When I arrive I will give you a description. You were wrong in believing that the additional pay influenced me in accept ing the appointment; it was the additional rank, and the compliment of being placed over the heads of over one hundred Captains, without being an applicant. I think and hope I have done right, and if it comes to the worst, I would prefer doing the same thing over, and then re sign rather than decline; but for the next year my station will be as pleasant as any in the West, except I cannot reach home quite so soon. The mail is only three days from New York. Fort Leavenworth is three hundred miles farther. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book War of Two written by John Sedgwick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and penetrating investigation into the rivalry between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, whose infamous duel left the Founding Father dead and turned a sitting Vice President into a fugitive. In the summer of 1804, two of America’s most eminent statesmen squared off, pistols raised, on a bluff along the Hudson River. Why would two such men risk not only their lives but the stability of the young country they helped forge? In War of Two, John Sedgwick explores the long-standing conflict between Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and Vice President Aaron Burr. Matching each other’s ambition and skill as lawyers in New York, they later battled for power along political fault lines that would decide—and define—the future of the United States. A series of letters between Burr and Hamilton suggests the duel was fought over an unflattering comment made at a dinner party. But another letter, written by Hamilton the night before the event, provides critical insight into his true motivation. It was addressed to former Speaker of the House Theodore Sedgwick, a trusted friend of both men, and the author’s own ancestor. John Sedgwick suggests that Hamilton saw Burr not merely as a personal rival but as a threat to the nation. It was a fear that would prove justified after Hamilton’s death...

Download or read book In My Blood written by John Sedgwick and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While working on his second novel, John Sedgwick spiraled into a depression so profound that it very nearly resulted in suicide. An author acclaimed for his intimate literary excursions into the rarified, moneyed enclave of Brahmin Boston, he decided to search for the roots of his malaise in the history of his own storied family—one of America's oldest and most notable. Following a bloodline that travels from Theodore Sedgwick, compatriot of George Washington and John Adams, to Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's tragic muse, John Sedgwick's very personal journey of self-discovery became something far greater: a spellbinding study of the evolution of an extraordinary American family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timeless, beautiful, and haunting, spirals connect the four episodes of The Ghosts of Heaven, the mesmerizing new novel from Printz Award winner Marcus Sedgwick. They are there in prehistory, when a girl picks up a charred stick and makes the first written signs; there tens of centuries later, hiding in the treacherous waters of Golden Beck that take Anna, who people call a witch; there in the halls of a Long Island hospital at the beginning of the 20th century, where a mad poet watches the oceans and knows the horrors it hides; and there in the far future, as an astronaut faces his destiny on the first spaceship sent from earth to colonize another world. Each of the characters in these mysterious linked stories embarks on a journey of discovery and survival; carried forward through the spiral of time, none will return to the same place. This title has Common Core connections.
