Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arthur Richmond Taber: A Memorial Record Compiled by His Father Naturally we have been going over in our minds the many incidents endeared to us by association with our beloved boy, especially as memory has been refreshed by looking over numerous old letters - some written by him and others descriptive of him. Out of these fond recollections has come the thought of preparing a simple story of his short life, quoting extracts from some of the letters, and illustrating it by photographs of him, of which we fortunately have a large number, taken at various ages. This has now been done, partly to gratify a pride of which we are not ashamed, and partly for the purpose of handing down to his collateral descendants a record in durable form of one whose brief career, we feel, added distinction to the family name. We have been encouraged in this project by one of our friends, who wrote advocating, as a matter of historical interest, that sketches of the lives of American soldiers be prepared and preserved "for the purpose of showing to the children of the future the type of men America sent to the Great War," and particularly, he wrote, such an account "of your boys life as will show the splendid man he was, long after you and I are forgotten." And, as Mr. John Jay Chapman has well said, "All the men fighting for the Allies, and especially all those young Americans who have been fighting for France and England and thereby doing more for their own country than for Europe, should be in our minds when we think of any one of them. They form a single soul and spirit." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
