Book Description
Excerpt from When I Come Back What sort of man would it be, then, who was capable of writing, from the Ar gonne in October, the odd sentence quoted above? A dull man, perhaps, doomed to pass unstirred through stupendous scenes? Or a dumb man seeing and feel ing much, it may be, but unequal even to attempting the swamps of exposition? Or perhaps this was a born soldier, one of that stark company who, frightened and unhappy in a drawing-room, find the natu ralness and ease of life released to them under the thunder of the guns? Or possibly, again, the quoted sentence is only a phrase, and other passages will pipe to a different tune?

Book Description
Excerpt from The Veteran: And His Pipe The demand for a second edition of this work allows no time for the correction of mere verbal errors. The essays herein con tained were written week by week during the year 1885, their char acter being determined by contemporaneous events. In a cursory review the author finds no reason to desire any substantial change. The convictions expressed in these pages have only been emphasized by subsequent events. Pascal Raines and Rans Whiting are types of the healthiest sentiment of the two great elements of yesterday. The sacrifice and heroism of the days of strife will have been worse than vain unless they shall teach wisdom, devotion to the right, an exalted sense of patriotic duty, and a righteous scorn of subterfuge, evasion and pretense in the direction of public affairs. Whatever may be the truth in regard to material things, civili zation is undoubtedly a revolution. Liberty is a plant whose petals open very slowly and whose perfect bloom the world has not yet seen. God gives us yesterday that we may make to-morrow better. The soldier who fought for Freedom and the Right did only his duty. He deserves no more credit than he who serves the country with like aspiration to-day. It is as an example of patriotic devotion, and not as a mere survivor of perilous times, that he deserves to be remembered. What he did may very well be forgotten. Why he did it is the priceless legacy he left for the betterment of tomorrow. W'henever the present fails to rise to thelevel of the past in patriotic aspiration, the future is in peril. Civil war in a republic is always the result of a lesson of patriotic purpose. The patriotism which saved the Union, if manifested before the outbreak of hostilities, would have made rebellion impossible. The apathy and indecision of the North, not less than the arrogance and aggressiveness of the South, were responsible for the bloody consequences. This is the lesson the story of yesterday's achievements should teach to every one of the controllers of to-morrow's destiny. The pages that lol low were written simply to enforce this thought.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Veteran and Other Poems And my long seated sorrow Will burn me through and through. A wife? 0 yes, I had one; She kept my soul alive; And children, too, We had them, All angels they, - just five. We gloated on the prospect Of that domestic fold, Cause we'd have them to help us, When wife and I got old. They grow'd and crow'd and chippered, And laughed and played and cried; But home seemed broke and empty, When two took ill and died.
