Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Men of Connecticut: 1861-1894 Thus the boy who finds it so difficult to master the task. Assigned him by his teacher, and thinks that learning is such arduous work, will be encouraged to persevere by the example of Dr. Adam Clarke, the eminent scholar and commentator who, while a boy, was the butt and jest of his school mates, because of his dullness and inability to, comprehend the simplest-latin forms, and yet before his death was the master of all the oriental and classical languages. In like manner the youth of slim purse, and perhaps discouraged at the outlook, as he reads the story of the lives of the self-made men in the following pages, and finds they attained. Their present height with no more vantage ground than he possesses, will take courage and strive to reach like success. Both History and Biography are valuable adjuncts in the history of the race. Each has its province, which, if not absolutely distinct, is still outlined with sufficient precision for practical purposes. History deals with the more general facts, is large in outline, stretches over great space and a long time, records the action of great masses, as states and nations, or the dealing of nation with nation. If it busies itself with individuals, it is only or chiefly in their relation to larger numbers, to communities or commonwealths. It is continuous, unbroken - or if divided into parts, then only for convenience, to abridge the whole into proportions commensurate to the time to be devoted to it, or to expand the account of single peoples by a minuter detail of their corporate action. History is thus comprehensive, general, national. It deals less with individual character than with universal laws, and with actions peculiar to men in their united capacity. But the province of Biography is much humbler, much less comprehensive, yet scarcely less important. It records individual actions, not alone in their relation to the commonwealth, but in their relations to other individuals. In its more complete form it may record, in extenso, the dealings of man with man, or of a man with a commonwealth. The point Of view is entirely different in Biography from that of History. In the latter the individual is unimportant, except in his influence on the state and nation. His personal purity and greatness have no existence for History apart from their bearing on public affairs. But in Biography the individual is all important. The facts of his life are the objects of our study, and secondarily the motives which underlie them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Winesburg, Ohio (A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life) by : Sherwood Anderson
Download or read book Winesburg, Ohio (A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life) written by Sherwood Anderson and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Winesburg, Ohio (A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This ebook is a series of loosely linked short stories set in the fictional town of Winesburg, mostly written from late 1915 to early 1916. The stories are held together by George Willard, a resident to whom the community confide their personal stories and struggles. The townspeople are withdrawn and emotionally repressed and attempt in telling their stories to gain some sense of meaning and dignity in an otherwise desperate life. The work has received high critical acclaim and is considered one of the great American works of the 20th century. Sherwood Anderson (1876 – 1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Anderson published several short story collections, novels, memoirs, books of essays, and a book of poetry. He may be most influential for his effect on the next generation of young writers, as he inspired William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Wolfe.

Book Synopsis Civil War Biographies from the Western Waters by : Myron J. Smith, Jr.
Download or read book Civil War Biographies from the Western Waters written by Myron J. Smith, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1861 to 1865, the Civil War raged along the great rivers of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. While various Civil War biographies exist, none have been devoted exclusively to participants in the Western river war as waged down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River, and up the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. Based on the Official Records, county histories, newspapers and internet sources, this is the first work to profile personnel involved in the fighting on these great streams. Included in this biographical encyclopedia are Union and Confederate naval officers down to the rank of mate; enlisted sailors who won the Medal of Honor, or otherwise distinguished themselves or who wrote accounts of life on the gunboats; army officers and leaders who played a direct role in combat along Western waters; political officials who influenced river operations; civilian steamboat captains and pilots who participated in wartime logistics; and civilian contractors directly involved, including shipbuilders, dam builders, naval constructors and munitions experts. Each of the biographies includes (where known) birth, death and residence data; unit organization or ship; involvement in the river war; pre- and post-war careers; and source documentation. Hundreds of individuals are given their first historic recognition.

Book Synopsis Getting the message through: A Branch History of the U.S. Army Signal Corps by : Rebecca Robbins Raines
Download or read book Getting the message through: A Branch History of the U.S. Army Signal Corps written by Rebecca Robbins Raines and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1996 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.

Book Synopsis Hoosiers and the American Story by : Madison, James H.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
