Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Backwoods Boy: Or the Boyhood and Manhood of Abraham Lincoln I venture to say that among our public men there is not one whose life can be studied with more interest and profit by American youth than that of Abraham Lincoln. It is not alone that, born in an humble cabin, he reached the highest position accessible to an American, but especially because in every position which he was called upon to fill, he did his duty as he understood it, and freely sacrificed personal ease and comfort in the service of the humblest. I have prepared the story of Lincoln's boyhood and manhood as a companion volume to the life of Garfield, which I published two years since, under the title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy of the Backwoods When it was time to make soap, Abe built a fire outside and kept it burning under the big, black kettle. Into the kettle went the pieces of fat which Mrs. Lincoln had saved. After the fat had melted, lye was added. Soon a soft yellow soap was made. Abe was always ready to hold the wicks in the candle molds while his mother poured hot tallow around them. The candles came out of the molds-long, straight, and white. One day Mrs. Lincoln said, I want you to learn how to read and write, Abe. She had heard that the country school was going to open and wanted her boy to go there. Abe knew he would have to walk four miles over a rough road to reach the school. He did not mind that for he knew he would like school. So it was that Abe Lincoln began to grow up on the backwoods farm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book Synopsis A Small Boy and Others by : Henry James
Download or read book A Small Boy and Others written by Henry James and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Small Boy and Others By Henry James This memoir tells of a precocious boy who loved the sights and sounds of his childhood but felt reticent about full participation in life. The note is sounded from the first chapters, as James recounts the limitations-and rewards-of the child he was: "For there was the very pattern and measure of all he was to demand: just to be somewhere-almost anywhere would do-and somehow receive an impression or an accession, feel a relation or a vibration. He was to go without many things, ever so many-as all people do in whom contemplation takes so much the place of action; but everywhere...he was to enjoy more than anything the so far from showy practice of wondering and dawdling and gaping: he was really, I think, much to profit by it." James clearly suffered from a sense of his inferiority in the "showy," active parts of life. His older brother William always seemed superior in ability; his classmates scorned his hopelessness at math and science; even at a party he felt too embarrassed to join in the dancing. But he still observed and fantasized about all his family and his surroundings had to offer. When a cousin of his was told "don't make a scene," he suddenly realized that scenes could be made by telling a story or inventing a play. He went often to the theater and fell forever under its spell. His family met William Thackeray and Charles Dickens on their American tours, and James even remembered Thackeray mock-scolding his sister Alice for her crinoline dress: "Crinoline? I was suspecting it! So young and so depraved!" We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

His family met William Thackeray and Charles Dickens on their American tours, and James even remembered Thackeray mock-scolding his sister Alice for her crinoline dress: "Crinoline? I was suspecting it! So young and so depraved!"In fact, for all his surface diffidence, James harbored almost Napoleonic dreams of glory as an artist. Near the close of A Small Boy and Others he tells how, in much later years, he dreamed of routing a monstrous attacker and chasing him away through the halls of the Louvre, which he had seen as a child. The small boy, as hesitant and uncertain as he might seem, would triumph over his fears and develop his superb aptitude for narrative fiction...Henry James, OM (15 April 1843 - 28 February 1916) was an American-British author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of Henry James Sr. and the brother of renowned philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.

Book excerpt: A little boy lost in a great city has always been a favorite theme. Here we have the story of the Boy lost in the city of Jerusalem. The New Testament tells how Jesus, the little child, became separated from his parents and lost. Dr. Van Dyke, with devotional imagination, has traced with reverent pen the wanderings of the Lost Boy. Henry van Dyke (1852-1933) was an American clergyman, educator, and author. He graduated from Princeton in 1873, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1874. He was pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, New York City (1883-99), professor of English literature at Princeton (1899-1923), and U.S. Minister to the Netherlands (1913-16). Among his popular inspirational writings is the Christmas story The Other Wise Man (1896). As President Wilson's ambassador to the Netherlands from 1913, Van Dyke was a first-hand witness to the outbreak of World War I and its progress, and was a key player in the President's diplomatic efforts to keep the U.S. out of the conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy Lincoln There is a wonderful romance in the early life of Abraham Lincoln. It is worth anybody's while to study the beginnings of such a career and examine the first steps made toward the greatness which was to come. Only a few months before I became acquainted with him, I was living in just such a log house as he built for his father in Illinois and but a few miles north of it. Both were larger and better than the cabin in the Indiana backwoods, but each had just such a puncheon floor as Abe's step-mother made Tom Lincoln put down on her arrival. There were ten miles of open prairie between me and the nearest fenced settlement, and all the Embarrass River timber near at hand contained but one Yankee. The other settlers were all from Kentucky, southern Indiana and Ohio, altogether such neighbors as were his own around Gentryville. With all features of their character and life I became so familiar that it sometimes seems as if I had lived where he did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction Anti-Intellectualism in American Life is a book which throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society. "As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success." —Robert Peel in the Christian Science Monitor
