When tests are to be applied he can always prove an alibi. His mouth was put on soft and spread; the flush on his nose was ac quired at a great expenditure of time and money. He comes to the front in his com munity, sage of the flannel lip and velvet eye, in accordance with a known law that not al ways the ablest men are heard, but always the ablest to be heard. He comes to the front with the persistence of a pardoned an archist, and the flawless joy of a yearling who has maxed in math.

At times he literally cleared parts of our country of all bounties acceptable to man and beast; and yet depre dations were laughed at and forgiven, for the little obtained by the brave boys in blue was but slight recompense for the great service rendered to the land. Many were the ludicrous scenes in those memorable campaigns. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp Fire Stories: A Series of Sketches of the Union Army in the Southwest Somehow a story seems to tell what war meant, in all its phases, better than does a mere description; and what a man has seen and felt is better understood if the incidents of the seeing and feeling are graphically told by the one who did them both. So I have yielded as the boys have urged that I write these stories out as they have been told at Our Grand Army camp-fires; because, they said, we old soldiers would be soon dead, and the young folks who had grown up to take our places should. Have left them our legacy of experience-the fun and the pathos, the drama and the tragedy - that they might know what their fathers went through in saving this country dur ing its first internecine strife. Therefore I have written these camp-fire stories for the Old comrades in arms to the reviving of their memories, and for their sons and daughters to the let ting them see what war was. Five of the hospital stories were published a few years ago in the Golden Rule, the organ of the Y'. P. S. C.

Book Synopsis War-Time Sketches by : Adelaide Stuart Dimitry
Download or read book War-Time Sketches written by Adelaide Stuart Dimitry and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War-Time Sketches: Historical and Otherwise The following papers, written by Mrs. Dimitry while Historian of the "Stonewall Jackson Chapter" of New Orleans, were intended not solely to amuse and interest, but primarily to set forth in correct form historic events of the war of l861-'65, and further to preserve and hand down to an interested posterity incidents semi-biogrpahical which otherwise would have passed into oblivion. The author has derived her data not alone from written history, but largely from the lips of those who were participants in that memorable struggle - men who had been comrades of Mumford, confreres of Benjamin, and survivors of the ill-fated Louisiana. Material for the sketches of social life were drawn from the reminiscences of war-time women, mostly members of the Chapter, and all are based upon incidents occurring in real life. They shed side-lights upon the manners, customs and dress of that troublous period and reflect in their shining depths the high courage and quick wit of the women of the Southland. As a woman of the sixties Mrs. Dimitry herself writes in propria persona for she was one of the signers of those "fair Confederate bank notes," serving the Confederate government until its downfall. Born of splendid Southern lineage, a Mississippian, but of the Stuart family of Virginia and cousin to that chevalier Stuart "sans peur and sans reproche," she was qualified both by birth and experience to write feelingly and in authentic fashion. As the wife and intellectual helpmate of Prof. John Dimitry, she lived in an atmosphere of culture and scholarship. Professor Dimitry came of a family of educators and literary folk and was himself an historian of considerable merit, notable among his works being a "School History and Geography of Louisiana" and "The Confederate Military History of Louisiana." In this connection we can not refrain from quoting his peerless epitaph to Albert Sidney Johnston, engraved in the tomb of the Army of Tennessee. Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans. In its epigrammatic terseness of phrase, beauty of diction and poetic depth of feeling it deserves to rank as a classic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of a Soldier of Three Wars After we unloaded at Albany and started on our return trip we went very slow, only using one horse and not running nights. The forward cabin was used for the horses and the after cabin for a dining-room and sleeping room. For a long distance the canal runs parallel with the Mohawk river, and is very high, sometimes fifty feet above the river. On this occasion, as we were passing through Little Falls, we were just coming out of a lock, when the towline broke and the horse went down the embankment. It killed the horse and nearly killed me. I felt the effects of the fall for years after. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A smart sergeant clattered through the archway, and his authoritative voice was immediately heard, putting something like life into the Sleepy soldiers, and evidently reminding the bugler that he had something else to do than to toast his toes at the fire; for, drawing his hands from his pockets and drop ping his bit of straw, he assumed a wide-awake look, strode across the court, and disappeared through a door-way.

It may be thought to have rather a. Lurid aspect of sensationalism: but there is nevertheless some fitness in it. I have spent the last decade almost wholly in campaigning, and have witnessed the cannon smoke almost as often as I have seen the peaceful smoke from the domestic grate. My poor pen has been mostly engaged in efforts to describe military opera tions, - marches, battles, concentrations, and retreats. But intervals have occurred which I have humbly tried to utilize by work that is free at least from the fresh smell of burning powder; and it is some of that work which I have gathered up out of odd comers, and brought together in this little volume. I h0pe that work would have been better if it had not been in its nature so desultory; but there is this to be said for it.
