DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Home to the Camp: Addressed to the Soldiers of the Union A little while ago you were here with us and of as, - husbands, fathers, brothers. We knew you as our daily companions. To your strong love we looked, in your strong arm we trusted. Others knew you as merchants, mechanics, manufacturers; we knew you as the central figures of our homes, - our pride, our solace, our support. Today we miss you. We gather at our meals, or around the evening table, and your place is vacant. In a thousand ways we feel that you are gone, and the world outside its places of traffic, its circles of friendship, its houses of prayer - mourns an absence which subtracts as much from its pleasure as its power. There are great gaps in our hearts and our homes, which can not be closed because of you. It is not like the void death makes. The old places are kept open and warm for you. You are only absent, and we wait and watch; daily and nightly we pray for you, for your safety and your good, and your speedy com ing to us again. No. 8. Your absence is peculiar. You have torn your selves from endearments, from prosperities, from plans, and have put in peril property, comfort, life, and health, for no personal or selfish end. The great mother who bore and nurtured us in her sore sorrow has cried for help, and you have answered to the cry and are sworn to rescue. Others may have failed to understand your self-devotion, but your homes have not, - your God has not. If your absence is peculiar, so is our memory of you. In your knapsacks, in secret pockets, about your person, you have all some cherished token of thoughtful affection. The cry of Mail in the camp brings the weary to their feet, and makes the whole man aglow with a longing hope, and the dear and tender words that swim before your eyes waken memories, not to subdue, but to make still nobler your resolve. And beside - as never into camp before - there comes from time to time, breaking the monotony of army rations, something that the good mother, the dear wife, the gentle sister, re members was your special fancy, which their own hands have made and their own thought sent, while their hearts were full at thinking how it would put you in mind of home. But we have now other things than these for you, and though they may seem only to be words, yet to words, having the savor of love and faith, even the salvation of man has been intrusted. Will you take kindly of us what we give in honesty and hem? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Young Folk's History of the War for the Union (Classic Reprint)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Young Folk's History of the War for the Union HE writer has endeavored to give, in the following pages, an unprejudiced and impartial account of our great Civil War. The difficulty of such a task can scarcely be appreciated by one who has not himself made the attempt. The echoes of the contest have scarcely yet died away, and the bitter feelings born of it are still apt to warp the judgment and to unfit men of either part of our country to estimate calmly the motives and acts of their opponents. Yet he who would write a truth ful history of those times must necessarily divest himself of partisanship and lift himself above the plane of local prejudice. If the writer has failed to do this, it is not because he has not made an honest effort to weigh carefully the facts as narrated by both Northern and Southern writers, and to give each side its just dues. As the work is intended primarily for young folks, the author has aimed to give, in chronological order, a plain and concise account of the most striking events of the war, enlivened by sketches of the prominent men engaged in it, and by inci dents and anecdotes illustrative of it. Though some of the stories are possibly apocryphal, many of the characteristic ones which serve to throw light upon the period and its events have been retained without any attempt to prove their truth or falsity. The writer has consulted the best available sources, and it is believed that the narrative is as nearly correct in its details as any previous work. The language used is simple, adapted to the understanding of the young, and technical words and expressions, when unavoidably used, are fully explained. The'=-illustrations are intended to be equally trustworthy, having been selected not for mere picturesqueness, but for their value in elucidating the text. The larger part of them were drawn at the time and from the objects which they represent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
