Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington the Soldier HE text Of this volume, completed in the spring of 1898 and not since modified, requires a different Preface from that first prepared. The events of another war introduce applications Of military principles which have special interest. This is the more significant be cause modern appliances have been developed with start ling rapidity, while general legislation and the organization of troops, both regular and volunteer, have been very similar to those of the times of Washington, and Of later American wars. His letters, his orders, his trials, his experiences; the diversities Of judgment between civilians and military men; between military men Of natural aptitudes and those of merely professional or accidental training, as well as the diversities of personal and local interest, indi cate the value of Washington's example and the charac ter of his time. Hardly a single experience in his career has not been realized by Officers and men in these latter days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soldier and Patriot: The Story of George Washington The fact of this evenness, and absence of special develop ment, makes the history of his life difficult to write. It is the irregularities, the eccentricities, the ruggedness of a character, which furnish anecdotes and incidents. The circumstances of Washington's career were indeed varied enough, involved as they were with the principal events of the American assertion of independence, but through them all the man moves on with a calm and stately tread, exhibiting to us perhaps more than anything else the nobility of common sense. In making the following brief sketch, I have been obliged to dwell upon the outward features of his career to exemplify his character. This must be my excuse if I have seemed to introduce too much of military detail; but at the same time I would have it remembered that it is Washington, and not the history of America, I have tried to sketch.

There was that little brush at Fort Necessity last year, from which they brought away nothing but their skins, and damned glad they were to do that. They brought away their arms, I cried hotly, and would have brought away all their stores and munitions, had the French kept faith and held their Indians off. That, too, in face of an enemy three times their number. The Virginians have no cause to blush for their conduct at Fort Necessity. The Coldstreams could have done no better. Allen laughed again. Ah, pardon me, Stewart, he said contemptuously, I forgot that you were present on that glorious day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections Written in the Library of Congress, Washington Of the years of the war I recall only this incident, which is as vivid as yesterday's events Some soldiers (i do not know whether Yankee or Confederate) stopped one day at our home. I was afraid to touch or get near them. I do not know how long they stayed or what they did; except that they took my father's only horse (he had one horse and one mule) which they saw ploughing in a nearby field. He was a nice looking bay horse. They commandeered or captured this horse, to our dismay I suppose the feelings aroused I was too young and too frightened to apprehend. No doubt I thought we were lucky to escape alive from their visit. But they didn't keep this horse. On the hard road he manifested a limp something was wrong with his feet or a leg so he couldn't travel well, although he could pull a plow. It was doubtless due to this defect that we had him at all; for I imagine most able bodied horses and 'mules had been drafted for the Confederate service. So the horse was turned loose by the soldiers before they carried him far, and we were rejoiced to see our dear old horse coming home again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington: A Virginia Cavalier The purpose Of the author has been not to lay stress upon the so -called' 'true George Washington, or the great planter as he over saw his plantation or read the London markets; not even to lay emphasis on the great soldier as he ﬂamed forth in war, or the first president as he marked the pathway of the new republic. The chief aim has been to point out those qualities which endeared him to his generation, to the end that boys and girls may have stirred in them some of the affection and admiration accorded Washington by those of his own time. This is no easy task. Americans have placed Washington on a pedestal. Some of his biographers have idealized him so that he seems a demi - god. Others, in trying to avoid this mistake and give a true story, have been too realistic and have pictured only that which was commonplace in his life, calling attention to little human weaknesses which at certain times and under some circum stances he gave expression to. But you can no more tell a true life story Of a man by magnifying his faults than by overrating his virtues.

The century that has passed since that event has only confirmed the judgment of his contemporaries, and changed but little the eminence conferred upon him. He stands at this time for what is best and highest in public policy and political morality; and his name is still sought to give support to aims but little in consonance with his expressed opinions. An Englishman and conservative by origin and temperament, he became the central figure in the Revolution, the very embodiment of the radicalism of the day. Successful in winning independence for his country, he again became a conservative, a check upon the rampant dishonesty, the product of war and paper money, that threatened the union of the States. As President he was the great source of federal power, and maintained a balance between the contending factions which would mould the government to serve their own extreme ends.

He had to contend with untold difficulties, with poverty, with cold, with hunger, with shiftlessness, with envy, with treachery, with hostile criticism, with jealousy, and with stupidity. Early in the war he wrote: I know the unhappy predicament I stand in; I know that much is expected of me; I know that without men, without arms, Without ammunition, without anything fit for the accommodation of a soldier, little is to be done; and, what is mortifying, I know that I cannot stand justified to the world without exposing my own weakness, and injuring the cause, which I am determined not to do. My own situation is so irksome to me at times, that, if I did not consult the public good more than my own tranquillity, I should, long ere this, have put everything on the cast of a die.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Soldier's Story of the War: Including the Marches and Battles of the Washington Artillery, and of Other Louisiana Troops Do not these fancies come to all of us? Do not some of our old men who dry up and drop off, and tearful-eyed women who still pray for shelter and protection from beggary - do not the surviving soldiers who find it hard to cope in skill or robust health with younger rivals brood over these memories? My excuse for writing this narrative is that I never at first intended it; I thought only to pass a wearisome hour in a letter to an old friend. Once commenced, I could not end; at the same time many old comrades, the subject once suggested, begged me if I proposed writing about the war at all, toutako for my theme the soldiers who went from Louisiana. I have tried to do this, though at the same time attempting only a rough military narrative. I want only to try and show how large bodies of our young men went through the transformation of the citizen into the soldier. How we learned and became reconciled to the rough life of camp; consented to new ways of think ing and living, and suffered, as it were, a general breaking up and wreck of our previous identity and existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Washington an Address It is not my purpose to detail to you the life of a man or to recite consecutively the history of a revolution. My task is rather to tell you in a plain way a few of the things which I deem best worth knowing about George Washington. The theme seems hackneyed enough, but much as it has been discussed, the last word has not yet by any means been said. Although Washington was born 171 years ago and has now been dead more than a century, we are but just beginning to know the real man. Like most great men he was not fully understood even by those contemporaries who apparently had the best opportunities for knowing him. Nor is this strange. Some fields of human activity develop men of simple and transparent lives - men to the very bottoms of whose souls all may see; but to achieve immortality, either in the field of politics or of war, argues a complexity of mind and character not to be fathomed by every inquiring glance.
