A Soldier Boy's Letters to "The Girl I Left Behind Me" (Expanded, Annotated)
Author: Martin A. Haynes
Publisher: BIG BYTE BOOKS
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 2
Book Description
From his enlistment in 1861 to mustering out at the end of the American Civil War, Martin Haynes kept up a voluminous correspondence with the girl he'd left behind him: Cornelia Lane. Throughout the bloody fighting at Gettysburg, Malvern Hill, and other famous battles, it is remarkable how little it seems Haynes withheld from the woman who became his wife. A very popular song title during the Civil War, every soldier knew "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and had someone about who they could sing it. In excruciating detail, Haynes relates the freezing cold, the killing heat, the torn bodies, deaths of friends, and the victories won by his New Hampshire regiment boys. After the war, Haynes was editor and publisher of the "Lake Village Times" and a United States Representative for the state of New Hampshire. By the time he wrote this book in 1916, he had been married to Cornelia for more than fifty years. Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

The Boy He Left Behind
Author: Mark Matousek
Publisher: Monkfish Book Publishing
ISBN: 1958972053
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
“Mark Matousek has produced [a] riveting account of his search–at age 38, with the help of a private detective–for the father who abandoned him at age four. A searing meditation on the psychic harm suffered by men and women without fathers, this wise odyssey wrestles with questions of life and death and the search for the meaning of one’s existence.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “I was four years old when my father came back to kidnap me,” begins this gripping memoir about Matousek’s search for James Matousek, the drifter father he never knew. Matousek chronicles his compelling search for his own father by hiring a detective and reveals his own life as he follows the hard-bitten investigator from one dead-end to the next. Described by the New York Times as “ part reminiscence, part detective story, part spiritual musing,” this memoir is more than the story of one man’s search for his father; it is also a look at the meaning of life and how fathers contribute to that meaning.
