Excerpt from Leading American Soldiers The study of history leaves many students firmly per suaded that although war in excess, war as a habit, is brutalizing and degrading, the occasional war that has a right cause behind it, a struggle for religion, for principle, for national existence, marks the healthy and vital stage in a people's development, While the long periods of peace are invariably attended by materialism and moral loss And is not materialism at the present day more closely associated with the outcry against war than is generally realized materialism now busy constructing a new civilization, but that will later turn to the mere enjoyment of it? There is doubt less an exaggeration in the indifference to death displayed by so many Asiatics; is it not possible, however, that there is some excess of materialism in our present extreme fear of it? The battle-field takes life, it is true, but it does not take that which otherwise we would retain. The hour is advanced, and that - why hesitate to say it - is often best. Would it not have been better to have stood among our soldiers on the banks of the Rappahannock furiously cheering our great Opponent Stonewall Jackson as he inspected his pickets on the further side, than to have lived twenty years longer to mingle with football mobs hurrahing at the disablement of a successful adversary? Or to have followed Sherman to the sea among waves of uplifted slave faces fondly dreaming liberty and righteousness had come, rather than Spend a lengthened life in the lucrative but dubious routine of mer cantile affairs? Which is the better part? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from America and Her Army American Government supplies the usual food and clothing to the army, and has done it, upon the whole, regularly and copiously. But the agents of the American people are every where present with ample stores of everything which men require, to place it beyond all doubt that the American soldier shall suffer no discomfort which it is possible to avert. There is a perfect fitness in this arrangement. For of this war it may be said, without qualification or reserve, that it is the war or the people. N 0 Government made it. It was from the outset the fixed determination of the Northern people that the nation should not submit to dismemberment. This is their own war, fought by their own sons and brothers, for the accomplishment of purposes which are dearer to them than life. It is fitting that they should assume the care of an army which is so emphatically their own. We do not understand aright the spirit in which the American people are fighting out this mighty quarrel till we know what care they bestow upon their soldiers.

Excerpt from Military and Civil Life of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant: Leading Soldier of the Age; President of the United States; Loved and Honored American Citizen; The World's Most Distinguished Man As to men, none occupy the place of General Grant in the affections of the people. His name is honorably connected with the highest office in the gift of the American voter. As President he was true to law and order, mindful of great and arduous duties, careful of the momentous trust reposed in him. To know of him as Chief Executive of the Nation will be esteemed a privilege and pleasure by the passing generations. But the real character, as well as glory, of this illustrious man was military. Had he overshadowed all other Presi dents in profound statesmanship, wise diplomacy, and political acumen, the fame thus acquired would have been as Neptune to the Sun in comparison with that which sprang from his military career.

Excerpt from The Life and Memoirs of the Late Major General Lee, Second in Command to General Washington During the American Revolution, to Which Are Added His Political and Military Essays The family of the Lees is both ancient and respectable, many of them having had connections and intermarriages with the principal families in the English nation; and, from a pedigree done for Mr. Thomas Lee, distributor and collector of the stamp-duties for the county and city of Chester, North Wales, we learn that the General's father was John Lee of Dernhall, in the said county, who was some time a Captain of Dragoons, afterwards Lieutenant Colonel of General Barrel's regiment from 1717 to 1742, at which time he was promoted to a regiment of Foot. He married Isabella, second daughter of Sir Henry Bunbury, of Stanney, in the county of Chester, Baronet: by this lady he had three sons, Thomas, Harry, and Charles, the youngest, who is the subject of these memoirs.

Excerpt from Military Services and Public Life of Major-General John Sullivan, of the American Revolutionary Army The prominent position held for nearly a quarter ofa century by General Sullivan, in civil and military life; the important epoch and events with which he was associated; the mass of material of interest to students of American history, that can in no other way be so intelligibly placed before the public, indicate an obligation somewhere to prepare his biography. Such a work should be less the history of the individual than of his times, of New Hampshire in the Revolution and the periods that followed it her social, professional, and political life while he was engaged in her service. Whatever inci dents he was conspicuously connected with, shedding light on the course of public affairs, or serving to illustrate the personages who shared with him in their management, would come within its scope.
