Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Late War in the Western Country Considerably over one hundred years have passed since this story of the war of 1812 was written. Peace was proclaimed February 18, 1815. This work came from the press in 1816, and in preparing the manuscript Captain McAfee had the direct assistance of General Harrison, Colonels Croghan and Todd and many others and had access to the journal of Colonel Wood, the engineer who built Fort Meigs and who kept a remarkable diary of an important period of these events as they transpired. With such an array of material and backed by the ability of the author himself to portray events and movements of troops, Captain McAfee has undoubtedly given the most valuable, authentic and close-up narrative, especially of the western operations in this struggle ever written. Franklin would have called it the War of Independence, for it is related that when lie heard some one speak of the "War of Independence" (1776) he said, "Sir, you mean the Revolution, the War of Independence is yet to come." It is with a view of perpetuating this valuable work to the people that the publisher is lead to reproduce the same complete, and in full with some explanatory field notes, as the original copies of the hook are fast passing out of existence. And while many later historians, perhaps nearly all, have used the work as a basis for their writings, historians and readers, we believe, will welcome the complete narrative.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Unlike any other work on the Korean War, it provides both a clear panoramic overview and a sharply drawn you were there account of American troops in fierce combat against th.
