Excerpt from The American Soldier: Being the Story of the Fighting-Man of America, From Conquistador to Rough Rider, From 1492 to 1900The simple story of the American soldier has never yet been told. Whoever wishes to know him as a man must study numerous confusing episodes, search through voluminous histories or Sift out the man from the material in the crowding records Of innumerable battles.This is more labor than the busy American cares to undertake, much as he may delight in the records Of American valor and American endeavor. It is to attempt this for him, to draw from the mass Of material already in print the character and achievements Of the fighting man Of America even from the earliest times and to present them in consecutive and connected narrative that this book has been undertaken.The description Of battles-and the causes Of wars have not been entered into. These may be found and studied in detail in any one of the many excellent histories of the United States with which the libraries and homes of America abound. In this book the American soldier as an individual is depicted for the enlightenment and inspiration of Americans young and old.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
