Wash Roebling's War is a book that compiles a selection of previously unpublished letters written by Washington Augustus Roebling during the American Civil War. Roebling was a young engineer who later became famous for designing and overseeing the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The letters in this book provide a unique perspective on the war, as they offer a firsthand account of the experiences of a Union soldier who was also an engineer.The book is divided into chapters that correspond to different periods of the war, and each chapter includes an introduction that provides context for the letters. The letters themselves are arranged chronologically within each chapter, and they cover a wide range of topics, including battles, camp life, and personal reflections on the war.Through his letters, Roebling emerges as a thoughtful and observant young man who is deeply committed to the Union cause. He writes eloquently about the horrors of war, but also about the camaraderie and sense of purpose that he and his fellow soldiers share. He also writes about his work as an engineer, including his efforts to build bridges and other structures to support the Union army.Overall, Wash Roebling's War is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the American Civil War. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, engineering, or the experiences of soldiers during wartime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's "Georgia Scenes" Completed

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's "Georgia Scenes" Completed

University of Georgia Press

pokkari
Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic has long been considered the first important work of "Old Southwestern" humor and more lately has been recognized as a seminal example of literary realism. Despite its popularity and significance, Georgia Scenes has been flawed from the outset. Longstreet did not proofread the first edition, which introduced literally hundreds of misprints. In this collection, David Rachels corrects these errors, adds nine previously uncollected "Georgia Scenes" to Longstreet's original set of nineteen stories, and includes a selection of items published anonymously in Longstreet's newspaper and discussion of lost manuscripts of Georgia Scenes. In the introduction, Rachels surveys Longstreet's place in literature and provides an up-to-date look at the legends and facts of Longstreet's life.

Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor

Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor

Anthony Everitt

Random House Trade
2007

He found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. As Rome's first emperor, Augustus transformed the unruly Republic into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. His consolidation and expansion of Roman power two thousand years ago laid the foundations, for all of Western history to follow. Yet, despite Augustus's accomplishments, very few biographers have concentrated on the man himself, instead choosing to chronicle the age in which he lived. Here, Anthony Everitt, the bestselling author of Cicero, gives a spellbinding and intimate account of his illustrious subject. Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agrippa and Maecenas. Augustus's rise to power began with the assassination of his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, and culminated in the titanic duel with Mark Antony and Cleopatra.The world that made Augustus-and that he himself later remade-was driven by intrigue, sex, ceremony, violence, scandal, and naked ambition. Everitt has taken some of the household names of history-Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra-whom few know the full truth about, and turned them into flesh-and-blood human beings. At a time when many consider America an empire, this stunning portrait of the greatest emperor who ever lived makes for enlightening and engrossing reading. Everitt brings to life the world of a giant, rendered faithfully and sympathetically in human scale. A study of power and political genius, Augustus is a vivid, compelling biography of one of the most important rulers in history.

Rome's Armies to the Death of Augustus

Rome's Armies to the Death of Augustus

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD

sidottu
National armies, as we know them today, are a comparatively recent development. It has been assumed that the Romans had an army similar to the national institutions of advanced, almost exclusively European, powers at the end of the nineteenth century. But the assumption was wrong as is the belief that changes seen in the armies can be explained because the Romans “reformed” their armies. Up to the death of Augustus, the Romans had no permanent military forces. Roman armies were raised for particular campaigns and disbanded at their conclusion. Repeated campaigns were conducted in places like northern Italy and Spain but the armies were always disbanded. These armies were not seen by Romans as part of a national institution as modern armies are; they were simply a part of the life of a Roman citizen, like religion or elections. These armies were more like a militia than a national army. There is little evidence even of systematic training and what changes can be detected can be better explained by contingent adaptation to circumstances rather than “reform”. The emperor Augustus is commonly seen as the originator of the imperial armies but it was an unintended outcome of a long life.
