Books with author Scott John Reed

John Scott, the author of this book, wrote the Partisan Ranger Law on March 27, 1862, and it was approved by the Confederate Congress on April 21, 1862. The rangers operated on the whole autonomously, but they did liaise with regular Confederate forces when they were nearby. The intention of the creation of the Partisan Rangers was to provide protection from invading Union armies. However, due to the lack of formal military organization and discipline, things sometimes got out of hand. A noteworthy exception was the command of Col. John Singleton Mosby in Northern Virginia, which were considered a different category from the more undisciplined groups. Leading the crème-de-la-crème of the partisan groups, the "ubiquitous Mosby," as one journalist called him, appeared to be everywhere and his operations were remarkable. This book is an entertaining record of the spectacular adventures of Mosby’s Partisan Rangers.

Thb Eastern phases of the war are by far the most confusing and uncertain, a book explaining the political or military situations in Russia, the Balkans, and Turkey, however sound at the time of acceptance for publication, would probably be utterly misleading when it came from the press. But while physical circum- stances change, human nature never does; and it was chiefly with humanity that John Reed and Boardman Robinson were concerned when they travelled through these countries for the Metropolitan Magazine: just as the novelist or the biographer presents the personality of a character so do they present the personality of a nation. As I look back on it all, says Mr. Reed, it seems to me that the most important thing to know about the war is how the different peoples live; their environment, tradition, and the revealing things they do and say. In time of peace, many human qualities are covered up which come to the surface in a sharp crisis; but on the other hand, much of personal and racial quality is submerged in time of great public stress. And in this book Robinson and I have simply tried to give our impressions of human beings as we found them in the countries of Eastern Europe, from A pril to October, 1915.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
