Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of William Francis Bartlett His health was excellent, as it had been from his earliest childhood. His political sympathies inclined to the southern side. On the 2d of January he wrote a theme in which he maintained that the demands of the South were just - that she demanded only her rights under the Constitution; and in his journal, under date of January 10, he writes, "And then to think that all these troubles have arisen from the interference of the North." Three months later, when the question of going to the war was presenting itself, he writes: "It would be fighting rather against my principles, since I have stuck up for the South all along. We shall see." On the 4th of January he had his first drill, under Sergeant T. G. Stevenson, afterwards General Stevenson, the gallant soldier who was killed at Spottsylvania, while commanding a Division of the Ninth Corps. On the 17th of April, the same day on which he wrote the sentence about "fighting against his principles," he joined the Fourth Battalion of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. On the 24th of the same month, he was present at a meeting of the battalion, at which it was voted to accept the proposal that it should garrison one of the forts in Boston Harbor. Opinions changed and decisions were formed rapidly in those days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
