Excerpt from My Cave Life in Vicksburg: With Letters of Trial and Travel And on to Black River, Big Black, with its slow, sluggish tide 1 Dark, like the Stygian stream, it flowed in the mist of the evening, the twilight. And soon we see Vicksburg, classic ground for ever in America. The Hudson must now yield the palm to the Father of Waters. Our interest will centre around spots hallowed by the deeds of our countrymen. I had thought, during the first bombardment of Vicksburg, that the town must have been a ruin yet very little damage has been done, though very few houses are without evidence of the first trial of metal. One, I saw, with a hole through the window; behind was one of corre sponding size through the panel of the door, which happened to be open. The corner of the piano had been taken off, and on through the wall the shot passed; one, also, passed through another house, making a huge gap through the chimney. And yet the inhabitants live in their homes (those who have not lost some loved one) happy and content ed, not knowing what moment the house may be rent over their heads by the explosion of a shell.

Excerpt from My Cave Life in Vicksburg: With Letters of Trial and TravelIt has been said that the peasants of the Campagna, in their semi-annual visits to the Pontine marshes, arrive piping and dancing; but it is seldom they return in the same merry mood, the malaria fever being sure to affect them more or less. Although I did not leave Jackson on the night of the 15th piping and dancing, yet it was with a very happy heart and very little foreboding of evil that I set off with a party of friends for a pleasant visit to Vicksburg. Like the peasants, I returned more serious and with a dismal experience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Missing Friends: Being the Adventures of a Danish Emigrant in Queensland (1871-1880)By return of mail came two letters, one from my father and the other from my brother. My brother wrote that our father was now getting to be an old man, and that his one sorrow these many years had been what had become of me, coupled with the fear that I did not remember him as a loving father; that he had always acted as he thought best for us, and that the greatest joy the earth (could offer him would be if he might see me again. My father wrote in the same strain, adding. That if I could not come home I must write, and that nothing I had done would seem trivial or uninter esting for him to read about.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The central figure will be that of a sweet old lady, clad in homely, sober garments, as becomes a good housewife intent upon the affairs of her household, and I trust to portray by my modelling of features and by the gentle blending of pigments rather than by my lettering on the frame, the age, social position, sorrows, and joys into which she was bom, as are the humblest of her servitors. Following the method of masters of theD utch school, the background will be somewhat allegorical. The walls and furniture will faithfully reproduce the patterns familiar to her in her own private rooms, the pictures will be those which she has gathered round her as mementoes in her privacy of all she holds worthy in the past and present, and the accessories will be exact replicas of those of which she makes daily use. As in aD utch picture, the table will be spread, and upon it will be laid the plate and napkin she uses, the food and fruit of which she partakes, while the liquors she drinks will be faithfully displayed in the bottles and glasses which mark her tastes. In the bookcase will be the books she reads, in the fireplace the fuel she burns, on the floor the carpet upon which she treads, on the writing-table will lie her daily correspondence, and through the windows may be seen her favourite walks and drives, her horses and her dogs. The method is not mine, and therefore needs no apology.(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.
