Books with title Army life in a Black regiment

Excerpt from Out Door Papers, Vol. 1: Army Life in a Black RegimentYet as I ride along this fashionable avenue in August, and watch the procession of the young and fair, as I look at stately houses, from each of which has gone forth almost with in my memory a funeral or a bride, then every thoroughfare of human life becomes in fancy but an ocean shore, with its ripples and its wrecks. One learns, in growing older, that no fiction can be so strange nor appear so im probable as would the simple truth; and that doubtless even Shakespeare did but timidly transcribe a few of the deeds and passions he had personally known. For no man of middle age can dare trust himself to portray life in its full intensity, as he has studied or Shared it; he must resolutely set aside as indescribable the things most worth describing, and must expect to be charged with exaggeration, even when he tells the rest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
