Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military Miscellanies "But the fact is that here as elsewhere, poetry has reached the truth while science and common sense have missed it. It has distinguished, as in spite of all mercenary and feeble sophistry, men ever will distinguish, war from mere bloodshed. It has discerned the higher feelings which lie beneath its revolting features. Carnage is terrible. The conversion of producers into destroyers is a calamity. Death, and insults to women worse than death, and human features obliterated beneath the hoof of the war-horse, and reeking hospitals, and ruined commerce, and violated homes, and broken hearts - they are all awful. But there is something worse than death. Cowardice is worse. And the decay of enthusiasm and manliness is worse. And it is worse than death, aye, worse than a hundred thousand deaths, when a people has gravitated down into the creed that the 'wealth of nations' consists not in generous hearts - 'fire in each breast and freedom on each brow' - in national virtues and primitive simplicity, and heroic endurance, and preference of duty to life - not in men, but in silk and cotton, and something that they call 'Capital.' Peace is blessed. Peace arising out of charity But peace springing out of the calculations of selfishness is not blessed. If the price to be paid for peace is this, that wealth accumulate and men decay, better far that every street in every town of our once noble country should run blood."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Life and Military Services of Zibeon Hooker, a Lieutenant in the Army of Washington Here is perhaps no mode of writing more difficult than that of biography, especially when it is of one who occupied a public station, or is connected by ties of kinship. To draw upon one's imagination is comparatively easy; but when one is con fined to stubborn facts, facts possibly in the memory of men, or matter of historical rec ord, where the least deviation, or trifling irregularity from established truths would be a subject of criticism, it is an affair of no small labor and anxiety.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals of Military Service Our once protecting sea barrier has been converted by the advances of science into the readiest and cheap est means oi communication between ourselves and our trans-oceanic neighbors. Our once Splendid iso lation has been changed by civilization and commerce into an intimate and indissolu'ble inter-relation with the other peoples of the world. It is impossible to turn back, nor do the younger generation desire to. They choose rather that the nation Shall take its place proudly in the councils of the world; prepared to meet unfalteringly its responsibilities, and to maintain with dignity its just standards of reasonable existence. This demands a degree of military preparedness that will secure us against invasion, and lend forcefulness to the tone when the nation speaks. Our national policies are, in the end, dictated by private citizens through the power of public opinion; and the very life of the nation may depend on what those citizens have previously demanded in prepara tion for defense.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Roads to a Commission in the United States Army Our war with Spain, and our present troubles in China have scattered our little regular army to the four quarters of the globe, and the old method of examining enlisted men for commissions has been rendered impracticable. An increased number of vacancies in the commissioned force has resulted, to meet which a recent act of Congress increases the number of cadets at the Military Academy. In the past few years the course of study at the academy has been much modified, and valuable practical work has been introduced. The act authorizing each United States Senator to have a cadet at West Point, and giving the President thirty instead of ten appointments, will not increase the number of graduates until 1904, so that up to that year a much greater number of appointments must be made from the army and from civil life.

Andrews' little book seems to be one of the first, if not the first, of the books on military leadership published in the United States. It is remarkable indeed that almost all the advice he wrote down in 1862 for the benefit of company officers of the Union Army is as sound today as on the day when it was first issued in printed form. I have appended herewith a short sketch of Capt. (later Major General) Christopher Columbus Andrews' life and services to his country.

Book excerpt: For armchair generals, history buffs, and military enthusiasts everywhere, A Military Miscellany is an essential and entertaining collection of fascinating and little-known facts, anecdotes, lists, and stories from America’s rich military legacy. Forgotten heroes, amazing blunders, surprising trivia, and strange-but-true stories overlooked by historians, it’s all here in a book that will enlighten and amaze even the most avid student of American military history. Did you know that American soldiers have been sent to invade foreign nations or their territories more than two hundred times since Thomas Jefferson dispatched troops to North Africa in 1803 to punish Muslim pirates? Or that during the Vietnam War a can opener was called a John Wayne? Or that a downed World War II airman once trekked across Germany, through occupied France, and across the mountains into Spain to avoid capture–only to be treated as a spy because Allied military intelligence said it couldn’t be done? Open this book anywhere and you’ll find yourself instantly captivated. From the "peace president" who was our most frequent practitioner of gunboat diplomacy to the Revolutionary War hero whose refusal to cut his hair set off a four-year rebellion that went all the way to the White House, there’s plenty of fascinating lore here–from the monumental to the trivial–in an indispensable encyclopedic work that takes up where ordinary history books leave off.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Entertaining the American Army: The American Stage and Lyceum in the World War No doubt every book published should have a dedica tion to the public, for by them it will be read and by them judged, but in presenting this particular history in narra tive form, one must realize that while it may bring much interest to the general reading public, it belongs by its very title to those women and men who wisely saw the writing on the wall and indifferently turned their backs upon their everyday life with its creature comforts, never counting the cost nor exaggerating the danger, but gladly joining the great crusade. History repeats itself! But in this present book there is no repetition - for, search as we may through the annals of past wars, we can find no precedent for a work of this nature. In very fact, when the opportunity came and the idea grew into a resolve, those who believed in the gospel of recreation realized that by the creation of just this particular type of amusement, an anachronism was being inaugurated. But by the very nature of its novelty it found a hearty response in the minds of the men in the camps in this country and overseas, and by its inherent opportunity for service it commended itself to the women and men who had no other chance of showing how solidly they stood behind the representatives of their country.
