Preface:The stories and reminiscences in this book are true to life, every one of them. They are told just as they occurred, without any attempt at literary embellishment; and most of them can be substantiated by living witnesses. My purpose has been simply to bring out in connection with these great military events, with which they were so intimately connected, a few of the many incidents and heart histories that were crowded into my own life, from April 20, 1861, to Nov. 23, 1865. Camps and hospitals were established near my own home in Keokuk, Iowa, early in April, 1861. I began at once my ...

Und sich dadurch ins kollektive Bewusstsein eingebrannt haben. Was passiert, wenn man nach den ...

Anthony Trollope was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. In 1861 he travelled throughout the Canadas and the United States in order to ascertain firsthand their customs, the various societies, the institutions and politics of this young country. It is tremendously interesting to hear his comments and rigorous opinions regarding everything from hotels to railway cars, living arrangements and habits. He is especially vocal when it comes to his thoughts on the Civil War. Throughout his narrative the attention to historical details is flawless...

Edward Ruppelt was the first head of the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book, the official project initiated to investigate UFO reports beginning in 1952. This report from 1956 takes us inside these initial investigations, separates fact from fiction, and gives insight into who, when, where, and how sightings were reported and researched in open-minded fashion (for which Ruppelt was renowned), rather than in the typical hushed and secretive (and censored) manner most often associated with government and military reports which are released to the ...
