The True Andrew Jackson. E-book. Formato PDF Cyrus Townsend Brady - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
American People, and other valuable general his tories of the period; the biographies of contempo raries, as Clay, Webster, Calhoun; the personal recol lections, like Quincy's and Sergeant's; the diaries, as those of Adams, Tyler, etc.; the numerous magazine and other ephemeral articles in newspapers and journals, which furnish a great mass of material unnecessary to catalogue in a work of this character. I have prefixed to the volume an extended chronology of Jackson's life, compiled from data which I have secured from many sources and with' much labor. I have come upon no such chronology — none of any sort, in fact — in my reading. The reader, and I h0pe also the student, will find it of value in assisting him to comprehend what follows. May I be forgiven a personal word in closing? Al though I am now, and for many years have been, a Democrat, I was born and reared under strong Repub lican in?uences. I began the study of Jackson with no great predisposition to admire him. He was not one of my early heroes — not politically or personally, that is. I have carefully examined his career and character from the point of view of friend and enemy. As will be seen from my chapter on Jackson's place in our history, I have become persuaded that he is one of the three great Presidents in our history; and that, although he stands below both of them, as a personality he is quite worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Northwestern Fights and Fighters. E-book. Formato PDF Cyrus Townsend Brady - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
T will be noticed that this book differs from others of the american fights and fighters series, and especially its immediate predecessor, Indian Fights and Fighters, in that I am not the author of all or most of it. In response to a request for contributions from participants in the Modoc and Nez Percé wars, numerous papers were sub mitred, all of such high value, not only from an historic but from a literary point of View as well, that I had not the presumption to rewrite them myself not even the proverbial assurance of the historian would warrant that. Therefore, I have contented myself with writing a general and comprehensive account of each of the two wars considered, leaving to the actors themselves the telling in full of the detailed story of the splendid achieve ments in which they were making history. I can affirm, therefore, that never before has there been included in a single volume such a remarkable and interesting col lection of personal experiences in our Indian Wars as in this book. And as I admire the doers of the deeds so, also, do I admire the tellers of the tales. Their modesty, their restraint, their habit of relating adventures which stir the blood and thrill the soul as a mere matter of course.
