Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rivals; Or the Grey Vs; The Blue: A Tragedy Stuart. Well spoken, sir. I have all confidence in your ability and willingness to perform the duty to which I am about to assign you. I am much in need of an efficient scout to keep me informed of the movements of Gen. Grant, and feeling that I can rely on your prudence and skill, I hereby commission you for that duty. You may select such of your comrades from the "Jeff. Davis Legion" as you may wish to aid you in the discharge of the arduous task to which you are assigned. [Writing an order.] Who will you have, Sergeant, that I may include them in this order? Shad. General, I would like Bob Harrison, or Sleepy Jack, as he is called, of Company C. I have seen him tried, and know him to be as true as steel. Stuart. Why do they call him Sleepy Jack? Shad. It is only a nick-name given him by his comrades, because he is so hard to wake: but he can stand more hard marching than any man I ever saw. Stuart. You shall have him, sir; who else do you wish? Shad. James Bond, known better in the "Jeff." under the sobriquet of Night Hawk, for being ever wide-awake, and seeing and knowing more that transpires at night than the camp guard. He is a good one, General, and can be relied on in any emergency. Stuart. I have included him. Any one else? Shad. No, General, they are sufficient for the present. Stuart. Why, only two? Shad. And I make three. Stuart. A spike team, upon my word. Shad. If you will pardon the expression, General, I can assure you that Hawk and Jack are, in themselves, a whole six mule team, and you will find it out ere long. Stuart. You know them best, Sergeant, and I am willing to trust to your judgment. You will enter the enemy's lines, gain all the information you can, as to their movements, numbers, &c., that may be important, and report promptly to me in person or by one of your trusted men. Grant's pickets are near Howard's Church, where I wish you to go at once, and see what movement is contemplated in that direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Path and Trail The romance and weird fascination which belong to immense solitudes and untenanted wilds are fading away and, in a few years, will be as if they were not. The in tangible and the immaterial leave no memories after them. The march of civilization is a benediction for the future, but it is also a devastation before which savage nature and savage man must go down. Unable or unwilling to adapt himself to new conditions and to the demands of a life foreign to his nature and his experience original man of North America is doomed, like the wild beast he hunted, to extinction. For centuries he stubbornly contested the white man's right to invade and seize upon his hunting grounds; he was no coward and when compelled, at last, to strike a truce with his enemy, he felt that Fate was against him, yielded to the inevitable and - all was over. In the Bacatete mountains, amid the terrifying solitudes of the Sierras of Northern Mexico, the Yaquis - last of the fighting tribes - is disappearing in a lake of blood and when he is submerged the last dread war-whoop will shriek his requiem. It will never again be heard upon the earth. The lonely regions of our great continent, over which there brooded for unnumbered ages the silence which was before creation, are disappearing with the vanishing Indian; a new vegetable and a new animal life are sup planting the old now on the road to obliteration. The ruin is pathetic, but inevitable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Long Trail My father had done much hunting with many and varied friends. I have often heard him say of some one whom I had thought an ideal hunting companion: He's a good fellow, but he was always fishing about in the pot for the best piece of meat, and if there was but one partridge shot, he would try to roast it for himself. If there was any delicacy he wanted more than his share. Things assume such dif ferent proportions in the wilds; after two months living on palm-tree t0ps and mon keys, a ten-cent can of condensed milk bought for three dollars from a rubber ex plorer far exceeds in value the greatest delicacy of the season to the ordinary citi zen who has a varied and sufficient menu at his command every day in the year.

Download or read book A Christmas Story written by Jean Shepherd and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Download or read book The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes written by Graeme Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful collection of seventeen classic mystery stories, dating from 1837 to 1914, traces the earliest history of popular detective fiction. Today, the figure of Sherlock Holmes towers over detective fiction like a colossus—but it was not always so. Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin, the hero of “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” anticipated Holmes’ deductive reasoning by more than forty years. In A Study in Scarlet, the first of Holmes’ adventures, Doyle acknowledged his debt to Poe—and to Émile Gaboriau, whose thief-turned-detective Monsieur Lecoq debuted in France twenty years earlier. If Rue Morgue was the first true detective story in English, the title of the first full-length detective novel is more hotly contested. Among the possibilities are two books by Wilkie Collins—The Woman in White (1859) and The Moonstone (1868)—Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s The Trail of the Serpent (1861) or Aurora Floyd (1862), and The Notting Hill Mystery (1862-3) by the pseudonymous “Charles Felix.” As the early years of detective fiction gave way to two separate golden ages—hard-boiled tales in America and intricately-plotted “cozy” murders in Britain—and these new sub-genres went their own ways, their detectives still required the intelligence and clear-sightedness that characterized the earliest works of detective fiction: the trademarks of Sherlock Holmes, and of all the detectives featured in these pages.

Book excerpt: • A New Republic Best Book of the Year • The Globalist Top Books of the Year • Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Non-fiction Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who during presidential elections, this is an endlessly fascinating look at American regionalism and the eleven “nations” that continue to shape North America According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly contested election in our history.
