Book Description
Excerpt from The Soldier Boy, or Tom Somers in the Army: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume is not altogether a military romance, though it contains the adventures of one of those noble-hearted and patriotic young men who went forth from homes of plenty and happiness to fight the battles of our imperilled country. The incidents of the story may be stirring and exciting; yet they are not only within the bounds of probability, but have been more than paralleled in the experience of hundreds of the gallant soldiers of the loyal army. The work is not intended to approach the dignity of a history, though the writer has carefully consulted the "authorities," both loyal and rebel, and has taken down the living words of enthusiastic participants in the stirring scenes described in this volume. He has not attempted to give a full picture of any battle, or other army operation, but simply of those movements in which the hero took a part. The book is a narrative of personal adventure, delineating the birth and growth of a pure patriotism in the soul of the hero, and describing the perils and privations, the battles and marches which he shared with thousands of brave men in the army of the Potomac.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of Military Life: Being Souvenirs Connected With Thirty Years' Service In a prefatory note to the extraordinary and eventful narrative, given under the name of Bar court, I have mentioned that I am indebted for the details it contains, to a brother officer with whom I was formerly associated on a particular service. A period of twelve years has elapsed since he imparted to me the incidents it embodies, but in the early part of 1850, I saw in an English newspaper, an extract from a French Official Journal, published by order of the Judicial Tri bunal in one of the Northern Departments (in all probability for the purpose of affording general information upon the subject, to enable any other claimants that might be in existence to come forward), stating, that demands had been made, and inquiries instituted by distant relatives, (or foreigners who declared themselves to be such, ) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Several historical incidents, and one or two traditions of the Service, are interwoven with the story of Basil Gauntlet, the Scots Grey. I may mention that the misfortunes of his comrade Charters are nearly similar to those which befel an officer of the 15th Hussars prior to the war in the Peninsula; and that the dark story and death of the engineer Monjoy and of Madame d'Escombas formed one of the causes celebres before the Parliament of Paris during the middle of the last century.
