Book Synopsis The Young Volunteer by : Joseph E. Crowell
Download or read book The Young Volunteer written by Joseph E. Crowell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Volunteer: A Record of the Experiences of a Private Soldier What is army life during the time of war like, as seen by "the rank and file" - the men who compose the great majority? To give an idea of the experiences and everyday existence of the private soldier was the main object in writing this story. The world is full of books written from the standpoint of the officers, giving the movements of troops and general accounts of great battles, and describing the maneuvers as witnessed from headquarters. They are histories, it is true, as seen by the writers, but they do not portray the life, hardships, trials and sufferings of that portion of the army known as "the men." There is a great dividing gulf, military and social, between "officers" and "men," and they see the same things with vastly different eyes. There are very few works relating to the actual experiences of the private soldier, giving his troubles and his joys, and presenting the dark and the bright sides of his life in the army. Hence this story covers a somewhat unbeaten field, and its novelty will proportionately add to its interest. The story is historically correct, so far as it goes. It is part of the history of the Thirteenth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, in the War of the Rebellion. But it is only so in part, for it is merely carried far enough to give the reader an idea of a private's life in the army.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Memories: Or, Personal Experiences in the U. S. Navy in Peace and War After a lapse of more than forty years since I first commenced sea-life, and, with no guide but memory to aid me, the story of my life on shipboard must, of course, be lacking in many particulars; yet, with the incidents firmly fixed in my mind, I can recall the most of them in the order of their occurrence. Although a man of more than sixty years, the events that I have related in my book come as freshly before me as if they had happened but yesterday, many sulphurous with the smoke of war, and others relating to companionships that were pleasant, 'mid scenes of more quiet import. The Mexican war, of which so little is now known, forms the main feature of the work, some of the leading events of which the writer participated in, on sea and shore, and was an interested spectator of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army and Navy Quarterly, Vol. 1: January, 1885 This compulsory adoption of armor, as well as of an iron hull, is a matter of the greatest possible importance and significance. The present condition and the future development of our naval power can only be properly understood by those who keep it clearly and carefully in mind. In fact, I doubt if there be any other question before the public at the present moment, in dealing with which it is so necessary to keep its recent history well in View. It will therefore be worth while to look back a little at our own experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Code Girls written by Liza Mundy and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the American women who secretly served as codebreakers during World War II--a "prodigiously researched and engrossing" (New York Times) book that "shines a light on a hidden chapter of American history" (Denver Post). Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.

Book Synopsis Matthew Fontaine Maury, Father of Oceanography by : John Grady
Download or read book Matthew Fontaine Maury, Father of Oceanography written by John Grady and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In becoming "a useful man" on the maritime stage, Matthew Fontaine Maury focused on the ills of a clique-ridden Navy, charted sea lanes and bested Great Britain's admiralty in securing the fastest, safest routes to India and Australia. He helped bind the Old and New worlds with the laying of the transatlantic cable, forcefully advocated Southern rights in a troubled union, and preached Manifest Destiny from the Arctic to Cape Horn. And he revolutionized warfare in perfecting electronically detonated mines. Maury's eagerness to go to the public on the questions of the day riled powerful men in business and politics, and the U.S., Confederate and Royal navies. He more than once ran afoul of Jefferson Davis and Stephen R. Mallory, secretary of the Confederate States Navy. But through the political, social and scientific struggles of his time, Maury had his share of powerful allies, like President John Tyler.
Book Synopsis Same Kind of Different As Me by : Ron Hall
Download or read book Same Kind of Different As Me written by Ron Hall and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2008-03-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critically acclaimed #1 New York Times best-seller with more than one million copies in print! Now a major motion picture. Gritty with pain, betrayal, and brutality, this incredible true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love. Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped the “Man” in the 1960’s by hopping a train. Untrusting, uneducated, and violent, he spends 18 years on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth. Meet Ron Hall, a self-made millionaire in the world of high-priced deals—an international arts dealer who moves between upscale New York galleries and celebrities. It seems unlikely that these two men would meet under normal circumstances, but when Deborah Hall, Ron's wife, meets Denver, she sees him through God's eyes of compassion. When Deborah is diagnosed with cancer, she charges Ron with the mission of helping Denver. From this request, an extraordinary friendship forms between Denver and Ron, changing them both forever. A tale told in two unique voices, Same Kind of Different as Me weaves two completely different life experiences into one common journey. There is pain and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story that readers will never forget. Continue this story of friendship in What Difference Do It Make?: Stories of Hope and Healing, available now. Same Kind of Different as Me also is available in Spanish.

Download or read book The U. S. Army's Transition to the All-Volunteer Force (1968-1974) written by Robert K. Griffith and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The all-volunteer force, the historic norm in peacetime America, was reestablished in the U.S. on 30 June 1973, when induction authority expired. But never before had the U.S. attempted to field a standing Army in peacetime -- based on voluntary enlistments -- with the worldwide responsibilities that faced this force. Since the mid-1980s the ability of the armed forces to recruit and retain quality volunteers has not been seriously questioned. This book takes us through those years of transition, examining both the context in which the end of the draft occurred and the perspective which the Army's leaders brought to bear on the challenge they faced.
