Excerpt from The Southern Literary Messenger, Vol. 26: Devoted to Every Department of Literature and the Fine Arts, January to June, 1858Until the introduction of fire arms, things remained unchanged. The man who is destined for the profession of arms, must harden his sinews by a con stant practice of gymnastics, and the con tinual use of weapons, for his life may hang upon a moment's weakness, or a false motion of his hand. Hence his training is long, painful, incessant. But it makes him self-reliant. He does not depend for his defence upon his companions. He can fight alone as well as in the ranks, and with his good horse and trusty blade he feels himself able to meet the foe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
