4.9/5 (20591 ratings)

Description:This illustrated memoir was published in 1909. From the book's Introduction: I am constrained to encourage a possible reader by assuring him that I have no intention what- ever of writing strictly an autobiography. Nothing in myself nor in my life would warrant me in so doing. I might, perhaps, except the story of the Civil War, and my part in the trials and sorrows of my fellow-women, but this story I have fully and truly told in my " Reminiscences of Peace and War." My countrymen were so kind to these first stories that I feel I may claim some credentials as a " bab- bler of Reminiscences." Besides, I have lived in the last two-thirds of the splendid nineteenth cen- tury, and have known some of the men and women who made that century notable. And I would fain believe with Mr. Trollope that " the small records of an unimportant individual life, the memories which happen to linger in the brain of the old like bits of drift-wood floating round and round in the eddies of a back-water, can more vividly than anything else bring before the young of the present genera- tion those ways of acting and thinking and talking in the everyday affairs of life which indicate the differences between themselves and their grand- fathers." But I shall have more than this " floating drift- wood" to reward the reader who will follow me to the end of my story! Writers of Reminiscences are interested — per- haps more interested than their readers — in recall- ing their earliest sensations, and through them determining at what age they had " found them- selves " ; i.e. become conscious of their own person- ality and relation to the world they had entered'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
