Excerpt from The Last Invasion Shivering a little in the wind, Tom stood and watched, counting the changes. As he turned to go back into the house he glanced over his shoulder. The light had swung his way again, and the horse-block and hitching post were not alone Right in front Of them, clearly outlined, was a man on horseback. Tom had just time to notice that the horse stood with hanging head, and that the rider wore a queer head -gear, when the shadowy picture disappeared in blackness. It took Tom very few seconds to get from the windy porch to the warm sitting-room. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Excerpt from The American Invasion I have been asked by many friends to amplify my articles and speeches on the "American Invasion." I have decided only to issue in book form the article which appeared in the Pall Mall Magazine for March (which I reprint by the kind permission of the Proprietors) and the lecture delivered to my constituents in the Hartlepools. I repeat, that in my opinion there is no reason to think England's commerce is in a state of decadence. There is an enormous amount of capital here for investment - to stimulate, foster and support the inventive powers, the industrial and commercial enterprise of the people. We have men of great ability, knowledge and experience in all branches, to lead, advise, and instruct us. Englishmen have the opportunity of being educated at a moderate cost, and above all, I trust and believe, still possess those qualities of indomitable perseverance, intelligence, practical wisdom, and that spirit of adventure and capacity for work which have built up our Empire.

Winner of the Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize in Military History An Economist Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year The Battle of Gettysburg has been written about at length and thoroughly dissected in terms of strategic importance, but never before has a book taken readers so close to the experience of the individual soldier. Two-time Lincoln Prize winner Allen C. Guelzo shows us the face, the sights and the sounds of nineteenth-century combat: the stone walls and gunpowder clouds of Pickett’s Charge; the reason that the Army of Northern Virginia could be smelled before it could be seen; the march of thousands of men from the banks of the Rappahannock in Virginia to the Pennsylvania hills. What emerges is a previously untold story of army life in the Civil War: from the personal politics roiling the Union and Confederate officer ranks, to the peculiar character of artillery units. Through such scrutiny, one of history’s epic battles is given extraordinarily vivid new life.
