Out on the Pampas

George Alfred Henty 1832 1902, referred to as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, England. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. He attended Westminster School, London and later Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was a keen sportsman. Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children’s book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book’s main characters after his children. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non fiction such as The March to Magdala 1868 and Those Other Animals 1891, short stories for the likes of The Boy’s Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine. His works include: The Young Buglers 1880, With Clive in India 1884 and Wulf the Saxon 1895.

The Young Franc Tireurs

The story is laid in France and is, therefore, written from theFrench point of view. The names, places, and dates have beenchanged; but circumstances and incidents are true. There were agood many English among the franc tireurs, and boys of from fifteento sixteen were by no means uncommon in their ranks. Having beenabroad during the whole of the war, I saw a good deal of theseirregulars, and had several intimate friends amongst them. Upon thewhole, these corps did much less service to the cause of Francethan might have been reasonably expected. They were too often badlyled, and were sometimes absolutely worse than useless. But there were brilliant exceptions, and very many of thosedaring actions were performed which while requiring heroism andcourage of the highest kind are unknown to the world in general,and find no place in history. Many of the occurrences in this taleare related, almost in the words in which they were described tome, by those who took part in them; and nearly every fact andcircumstance actually occurred, according to my own knowledge. Without aspiring to the rank of a history, however slight, thestory will give you a fair idea of what the life of the franctireurs was, and of what some of them actually went through,suffered, and performed.G. A. Henty

The hero of the story is a typical British boy, dogged, earnest, generous, and though ‘shame faced’ to a degree, is ready to face death in the discharge of duty.

Winning His Spurs / The Boy Knight

Purchase one of 1st World Library’s Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www. 1stWorldLibrary. ORG It was a bright morning in the month of August, when a lad of some fifteen years of age, sitting on a low wall, watched party after party of armed men riding up to the castle of the Earl of Evesham. A casual observer glancing at his curling hair and bright open face, as also at the fashion of his dress, would at once have assigned to him a purely Saxon origin; but a keener eye would have detected signs that Norman blood ran also in his veins, for his figure was lither and lighter, his features more straightly and shapely cut, than was common among Saxons. His dress consisted of a tight fitting jerkin, descending nearly to his knees. The material was a light blue cloth, while over his shoulder hung a short cloak of a darker hue. His cap was of Saxon fashion, and he wore on one side a little plume of a heron. In a somewhat costly belt hung a light short sword, while across his knees lay a crossbow, in itself almost a sure sign of its bearer being of other than Saxon blood. The boy looked anxiously as party after party rode past toward the castle. ‘I would give something,’ he said, ‘to know what wind blows these knaves here. From every petty castle in the Earl’s feu the retainers seem hurrying here. Is he bent, I wonder, on settling once and for all his quarrels with the Baron of Wortham? or can he be intending to make a clear sweep of the woods? Ah! here comes my gossip Hubert; he may tell me the meaning of this gathering.’

With Clive in India

The period between the landing of Clive as a young writer in India and the close of his career was critical and eventful in the extreme. At the commencement the English were traders existing on sufferance of the native princes. At its close they were masters of Bengal and of the greater part of southern India. The author has given a full and accurate account of the events of that stirring time, and battles and sieges follow each other in rapid succession, while he combines with his narrative a tale of daring and adventure, which gives a lifelike interest to the volume. Starting in the 1750’s, Clive was sent to pull out Britain’s bacon in India, he was to avenge the so called Black Hole of Calcutta, and his reworking of India was very British indeed until the modern uprisings of Gandhi and Nehru. The boys who read Henty never knew that Gandhi was on the horizon. Written for young people, it is subtitled ‘Beginnings of an Empire’, and gives a vivid picture of the events of the ten years which at their commencement saw English influence at the point of extinction in India, and which ended in the final triumph of the English both in Bengal and Madras. Among the 80 books for boys written by Henty, who enjoyed great popularity through his death in 1902, his With Clive in India is one of the two or three most likely of mention.

The Dragon and the Raven

‘In this story the author gives an account of the fierce struggle between Saxon and Dane for supremacy in England, and presents a vivid picture of the misery and ruin to which the country was reduced by the ravages of the sea wolves. The hero, a young Saxon thane, takes part in all the battles fought by King Alfred. He is driven from his home, takes to the sea, and resists the Danes on their own element, and being pursued by them up the Seine, is present at the long and desperate siege of Paris. ‘Perhaps the best story of the early days of England which has yet been told.’ Court Journal.’…
but the rest, with the gold and silver vessels, can remain here till we need them.’Gold and silver vessels seem little in accordance with the primitive mode of life prevailing in the ninth century. The Saxon civilization was indeed a mixed one. Their mode of life was primitive, their dwellings, with the exception of the religious houses and the abodes of a few of the great nobles, simple in the extreme; but they possessed vessels of gold and silver, armlets, necklaces, and ornaments of the same metals, rich and brightly coloured dresses, and elaborate bed furniture while their tables and household utensils were of the roughest kind, and their floors strewn with rushes. When they invaded and conquered England they found existing the civilization introduced by the Romans, which was far in advance of their own; much of this they adopted. The introduction of Christianity further advanced them in the scale. The prelates and monks from Rome brought with them a high degree of civilization, and this…

For Name and Fame

My poor pets! a lady exclaimed, sorrowfully; ‘it is too bad. They all knew me so well; and ran to meet me, when they saw me coming; and seemed really pleased to see me, even when I had no food to give them.’ ‘Which was not often, my dear,’ Captain Ripon her husband said. ‘However it is, as you say, too bad; and I will bring the fellow to justice, if I can. There are twelve prize fowls worth a couple of guineas apiece, not to mention the fact of their being pets of yours stolen, probably by tramps; who will eat them, and for whom the commonest barn door chickens would have done as well. There are marks of blood in two or three places, so they have evidently been killed for food. The house was locked up last night, all right; for you see they got in by breaking in a panel of the door. ‘Robson, run down to the village, at once, and tell the policeman to come up here; and ask if any gypsies, or tramps, have been seen in the neighborhood.’ The village lay at the gate of Captain Ripon’s park, and the gardener soon returned with the policeman.

A Final Reckoning

In this tale I have left the battlefields of history, and have written
a story of adventure in Australia, in the early days when the bush
rangers and the natives constituted a real and formidable danger to the
settlers. I have done this, not with the intention of extending your
knowledge, or even of pointing a moral, although the story is not
without one; but simply for a change a change both for you and myself,
but frankly, more for myself than for you. You know the old story of
the boy who bothered his brains with Euclid, until he came to dream
regularly that he was an equilateral triangle enclosed in a circle.
Well, I feel that unless I break away sometimes from history, I shall
be haunted day and night by visions of men in armour, and soldiers of
all ages and times.

If, when I am away on a holiday I come across the ruins of a castle, I
find myself at once wondering how it could best have been attacked, and
defended. If I stroll down to the Thames, I begin to plan schemes of
crossing it in the face of an enemy; and if matters go on, who can say
but that I may find myself, some day, arrested on the charge of
surreptitiously entering the Tower of London, or effecting an escalade
of the keep of Windsor Castle! To avoid such a misfortune which would
entail a total cessation of my stories, for a term of years I have
turned to a new subject, which I can only hope that you will find as
interesting, if not as instructive, as the other books which I have
written.

For the Temple

For the Jewish people the fall of Jerusalem was a disaster. Following the destruction of the Temple, and their defeat in the second century Bar Kokhba revolt, they became a people without a home. Dispersed all over the world, their religion changed from one based on a central authority in Jerusalem, to one which was dependent on the authority of individual community based rabbis. The destruction of Jerusalem also had a major impact on the development of Christianity. Originally Christianity took two major forms, a Jewish version and one based on the teachings of St. Paul. With the Roman destruction of Judea, and the dispersion of the Jews, the Paulinian form was the only one left standing. One can only speculate what both Christianity and Judaism would look like today if Jerusalem had not been destroyed. In For the Temple, a young Jewish boy is swept up in the events surrounding the Roman invasion.

Orange and Green

G. A. Henty was a 19th century novelist, special correspondent and Imperialist. His best known works are historical adventures. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non fiction such as The March to Magdala 1868 and Those Other Animals 1891, short stories for the likes of The Boy’s Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine. The setting for Orange and Green is Castle Davenant on the coast of Dublin Bay between Cork and Waterford. Henty discusses the struggles in Ireland in his preface by saying ‘the rising of Ireland, nominally in defense of the rights of King James, but really as an effort of despair on the part of those who deemed their religion, their property, and even their lives threatened, by the absolute ascendency of the Protestant party in the government of the country.’ As with all of Henty’s books for boys he relies on historians for the basic facts and historic details in his books. The suffering of the Irish at the hands of William’s army of foreign mercenaries is brought forth in this action adventure for young readers.

During this period, Egypt experienced unprecedented growth, with Thutmose leading his armies in no fewer than 17 military campaigns, from Syria in the north to Nubia in the south. Amuba is a young prince of a tribe called the Rebu. When his land is attacked by the Egyptians, he is captured and, along with his chariot driver Jethro, sent back to Egypt as slaves. Amuba is placed in service to Chebron, the son of the high priest. One day, by accident, Chebron kills the sacred cat of the City of Bubastes. The penalty for this act is death, which sets up a variety of harrowing adventures as they attempt to escape back to Amuba’s native land. Besides being a terrific adventure, Henty gives the reader an encyclopedic insight into the culture, religion, and everyday life of ancient Egypt.

The Dash for Khartoum

The story of the Nile Expedition is so recent that no word ofintroduction is necessary to the historical portion of the tale. Themoral, such as it is, of the story of the two lads brought up asbrothers is Never act in haste, for repentance is sure to follow. Inthis case great anxiety and unhappiness were caused through a lad actingas he believed for the best, but without consulting those who had everyright to a voice in the matter. That all came right in the end in no wayaffects this excellent rule, for all might have gone wrong. We are oftenmisled by a generous impulse, more often perhaps than by an evil one,but the consequences may be just as serious in the one case as theother. When in trouble you should always go freely to your best friendsand natural advisers, and lay the case fully before them. It may bethat, if the trouble has arisen from your own fault, you will have tobear their temporary displeasure, but this is a small thing incomparison with the permanent injury that may arise from acting on yourown impulse. In most cases, cowardice lies at the bottom of concealment,and cowardice is of all vices the most contemptible; while the fear ofthe displeasure of a parent has ruined many a boy’s life. Therefore,when you are in serious trouble always go to your best friend, yourfather, and lay the case frankly and honestly before him; for you maybe sure that present displeasure and even punishment are but smallthings in comparison with the trouble that may arise from trying to getout of the difficulty in other ways.G. A. Henty

Held Fast For England

The Siege of Gibraltar stands almost alone in the annals ofwarfare, alike in its duration and in the immense preparationsmade, by the united powers of France and Spain, for the capture ofthe fortress. A greater number of guns were employed than in anyoperation up to that time; although in number, and still more incalibre, the artillery then used have in, modern times, been throwninto the shade by the sieges of Sebastopol and Paris. Gibraltardiffers, however, from these sieges, inasmuch as the defence was asuccessful one and, indeed, at no period of the investment was thefortress in any danger of capture, save by hunger. At that period England was not, as she afterwards became,invincible by sea; and as we were engaged at the same time in warwith France, Spain, Holland, and the United States, it was onlyoccasionally that a fleet could be spared to bring succour andprovisions to the beleaguered garrison. Scurvy was the direst enemyof the defenders. The art of preserving meat in tins had not beendiscovered, and they were forced to subsist almost entirely uponsalt meat. During the first year of the siege the supply of freshvegetables was scanty, in the extreme, and the garrisonconsequently suffered so severely, from scurvy, that at one timescarcely half of the men of the garrison were strong enough tocarry a firelock, and perform their duty. The providential captureof a vessel laden with oranges and lemons checked the ravages ofthe scourge; and the successful efforts of the garrison to raisevegetables prevented it from ever, afterwards, getting a firm holdupon them. In such a siege there was but little scope for deeds ofindividual gallantry. It was a long monotony of hardship andsuffering, nobly endured, and terminating in one of the greatesttriumphs ever recorded in the long roll of British victories.G. A. Henty

Redskin and Cow-Boy

1908. Henty’s stories revolve around a fictional boy hero during fascinating periods of history. His heroes are diligent, courageous, intelligent and dedicated to their country and cause in the face, at times, of great peril. His histories, particularly battle accounts, have been recognized by historian scholars for their accuracy. The book begins: Cedar Gulch was, in 1851, a flourishing camp. There had been some good finds by the first prospectors, and a rush had of course followed. In many cases first discoveries proved illusive, but it was not so at Cedar Gulch. The ground turned out well, and although no extraordinary finds were made, the average was good all over the bottom, and there were few who were not doing fairly well.

Beric the Briton

With 48 pages of additional articles, references, and bibliographies of recommended reading. Between roughly 43 AD and 410 AD, the Roman Empire had extended itself to Great Britain. The local tribes were no match for disciplined Roman troops, and breaches of the Pax Romana were treated promptly and with ferocity. The Britons were thus under a state of subjugation; but that was not, in all respects, a bad thing. With the law and order that the Romans brought came advances in agriculture, industry and architecture that can still be seen and felt today. In this tale George Henty introduces us to Beric, a young man who fights with the Iceni tribe, led by the Warrior Queen Boadicea, against the Roman occupiers. After their eventual defeat, he leads a guerrilla band against the Romans from the swamplands to the west of the Iceni territory, but is captured and shipped to Rome. There he is trained as a gladiator, gains fame when he defeats a lion single handed, and winds up serving in the palace of the degenerate emperor, Nero. He journeys back home when Nero dies, but his welcome is not what he expected. This book is an excellent exposure to the Roman conquest of Britain, a chapter in history that is far too often neglected.

A Jacobite Exile

Historical novel, set in the early 18th century. According to the Preface: ‘Had I attempted to write you an account of the whole of the adventurous career of Charles the Twelfth of Sweden, it would, in itself, have filled a bulky volume, to the exclusion of all other matter; and a youth, who fought at Narva, would have been a middle aged man at the death of that warlike monarch, before the walls of Frederickshall. I have, therefore, been obliged to confine myself to the first three years of his reign, in which he crushed the army of Russia at Narva, and laid the then powerful republic of Poland prostrate at his feet. In this way, only, could I obtain space for the private adventures and doings of Charlie Carstairs, the hero of the story.’ According to Wikipedia: ‘George Alfred Henty 8 December 1832 16 November 1902, referred to as G.

St. Bartholomew’s Eve

St. Bartholomew’s Eve CHAPTER I Driven from Home In the year 1567 there were few towns in the southern counties of England that did not contain a colony, more or less large, of French Protestants. For thirty years the Huguenots had been exposed to constant and cruel persecutions; many thousands had been massacred by the soldiery, burned at the stake, or put to death with dreadful tortures. Fifty thousand, it was calculated, had, in spite of the most stringent measures of prevention, left their homes and made their escape across the frontiers. These had settled for the most part in the Protestant cantons of Switzerland, in Holland, or England. As many of those who reached our shores were but poorly provided with money, they naturally settled in or near the ports of landing. Canterbury was a place in which many of the unfortunate emigrants found a home. Here one Gaspard Vaillant, his wife, and her sister, who had landed in the year 1547, had established themselves.

A Knight of the White Cross

With 35 pages of additional articles, references, and bibliographies of recommended reading. The Knights of St. John were among the most powerful of the religious military orders of the Middle Ages. They were originally formed to support the many thousands of Christians who were making pilgrimages to the Holy City of Jerusalem, and to protect them from Muslim attacks. Because of this mission, they were also known as the Knights Hospitaller. By today’s standards, however, they were quite unusual in that they were warriors, but they were also monks having taken vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty. Our story begins with Gervaise Tresham joining the Knights of St. John on the island of Rhodes. He soon distinguishes himself by foiling a plot, which saves a large part of Italy from the ravages of the Muslim corsairs. For this, he is knighted by the Grand Prior of the Order; but all is not well, as he develops two additional problems. First, the Hospitaller garrison at Rhodes is under attack by 160 Ottoman ships, and 70,000 fanatical Muslim troops. Second, he has fallen in love and wants to get married, which can be a bit of a problem if you are a monk and have taken vows of chastity.

With Cochrane the Dauntless

1902. Henty’s stories typically revolve around a fictional boy hero during fascinating periods of history. His heroes are diligent, courageous, intelligent and dedicated to their country and cause in the face, at times, of great peril. His histories, particularly battle accounts, have been recognized by historian scholars for their accuracy. The book begins: I am sure I do not know what to do with you, Steve, Lieutenant Embleton said one afternoon as he and his son were sitting upon a bench on the cliff at Ramsgate, looking over the sea. Upon my word I don’t see my way at all: this peace has stranded most of us, and at any rate, so far as I am concerned, there is not a ghost of a chance of my obtaining employment not that I am fit for it if I could get it. I have been nearly ten years ashore. Every one of us who sailed under Cochrane have been marked men ever since. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Excerpt from book: in one groove for the last twenty years, and don’t care about changing it. You wished me to do so ten years ago, and I declined then, and the ten years have not made me more desirous of change than I was before.’ ‘All right; think it over. Please send Ramoo in to me; I have tired myself in talking.’ John Thorndyke smoked many churchwarden pipes in the little arbour in his garden that day. In the afternoon his brother was so weak and tired, that the subject of the conversation was not reverted to. At eight o’clock the Colonel went off to bed. The next morning, after breakfast, he was brighter again. ‘Well, John, what has come of your thinking?’ he nsked. ‘I don’t like it, George.’ ‘ You mayn’t like it, John, but you will do it. I am not going to have my girl run after by ruined spendthrifts who want her money to repair their fortunes; and I tell you frankly, if you refuse I shall go up to town to morrow, and I shall make a new will, leaving all my property to your son, subject to a life annuity of , 200 a year to the child, and ordering that, in the event of his dying before he comes of age, or of refusing to accept the provisions of the will, or handing any of the property or money over to my daughter, the whole estate, money, jewels, and all, shall go to the London hospitals, subject, as before, to the annuity. ‘ Don’t be an ass,’ brother John. Do you think that I don’t know what I am doing? I have seen enough of the evils of marrying for money out in India. Every ship that comes out brings so many girls sent out to some relation to be put on the marriage market, and marrying men old enough to be pretty nearly their grandfathers, with the natural consequence that there is the devil topay before they have been married a year or two. Come, you know you will do it;…

With Frederick the Great

The story is laid in France and is, therefore, written from theFrench point of view. The names, places, and dates have beenchanged; but circumstances and incidents are true. There were agood many English among the franc tireurs, and boys of from fifteento sixteen were by no means uncommon in their ranks. Having beenabroad during the whole of the war, I saw a good deal of theseirregulars, and had several intimate friends amongst them. Upon thewhole, these corps did much less service to the cause of Francethan might have been reasonably expected. They were too often badlyled, and were sometimes absolutely worse than useless. But there were brilliant exceptions, and very many of thosedaring actions were performed which while requiring heroism andcourage of the highest kind are unknown to the world in general,and find no place in history. Many of the occurrences in this taleare related, almost in the words in which they were described tome, by those who took part in them; and nearly every fact andcircumstance actually occurred, according to my own knowledge. Without aspiring to the rank of a history, however slight, thestory will give you a fair idea of what the life of the franctireurs was, and of what some of them actually went through,suffered, and performed.G.

We have long blockaded them in their own ports, and if they are not strong enough to get out of these, still less would they be able to leave Egypt.’ ‘Let us not talk more of them,’ the sheik said contemptuously. ‘They are dogs; if they come hither we shall know how to deal with them.’ CHAPTER III. LEFT BEHIND. THE sheik spoke a few words to two of his followers, who at once mounted their horses and rode off. ‘ They will bring us news if anything happens,’ he said; ‘ they will go into Alexandria.’ It was late in the evening when they returned. ‘ You have news?’ the sheik said, as they came up to the fire by which he was sitting. The moon was shining brightly, lighting up the wide expanse of sand round the grove. ‘The Franks have come,’ one said. Edgar sprung to his feet with an exclamation of surprise and alarm. ‘ When did they come?’ the sheik asked. ‘ When we reached the city all was quiet,’ the man said, ‘except that soldiers were working at the fortifications. When we asked why this was, they said that some Bedouins had come in two hours before with the news that the sea near Cape Harzet was covered with ships, and that they were sailing this way. Many did not believe the story, but all the people and the soldiers were ordered to work on the M480 D fortifications, to bring up shot for the great guns, to carry stones to mend the walls where they were broken, and to prepare for the defence. The sun was nigh half down when we saw a great many white dots on the edge of the sea. They were still some leagues away, when everyone pointed and cried out, ‘It is the enemy!’ and worked harder than ever. It was…

Both Sides the Border

PREFACE THE four opening years of the fifteenth century were among the most stirring in the history of England. Owen Glendower carried fire and slaughter among the Welsh marches, captured most of the strong places held by the English, and foiled three invasions led by the king himself. The northern borders were invaded by Douglas, who, after devastating a large portion of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham, was defeated and taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon by the Earl of Northumberland and his son Hotspur. Then followed the strange and unnatural coalition between the Percys, Douglas of Scotland, Glendower of Wales, and Sir Edmund Mortimer a coalition that would assuredly have overthrown the king, erected the young Earl of March as a puppet monarch under the tutelage of the Percys, and secured the independence of Wales, had the royal forces arrived one day later at Shrewsbury, and so allowed the confederate armies to unite. King Henrys victory there, entailing the death of Hotspur and the capture of Douglas, put an end to this formidable insurrection for although the Earl of Northumberland twice subsequently raised the banner of revolt, these risings were easily crushed while Glendowers power waned, and order, never again to be broken, was at length restored in Wales. The continual state of unrest and chronic warfare between the inhabitants of both sides of the border was full of adventures as stirring and romantic as that in which the hero of the story took part.

The Golden Canyon

Here among the mountains they could subsist on the proceeds of the chase and the little plantations tended by the women, but this offered small attractions to the restless and warlike Indians, who preferred depending upon the plunder that they could always gather by a raid upon the defenseless Mexican villages. Thus during the whole journey they had not once caught sight of an Indian, though they had two or three times made out, with the aid of a telescope Tom had brought with him, little clusters of wigwams far away among the hills.

No Surrender!

In the world’s history, there is no more striking example of heroicbravery and firmness than that afforded by the people of the provinceof Poitou, and more especially of that portion of it known as LaVendee, in the defence of their religion and their rights as free men. At the commencement of the struggle they were almost unarmed, and thesubsequent battles were fought by the aid of muskets and cannon wrestedfrom the enemy. With the exception of its forests, La Vendee offeredno natural advantages for defence. It had no mountains, such as thosewhich enabled the Swiss to maintain their independence; no rivers whichwould bar the advance of an enemy; and although the woods and thicketsof the Bocage, as it was called, favoured the action of the irregulartroops, these do not seem to have been utilized as they might havebeen, the principal engagements of the war being fought on open ground. For eighteen months the peasants of La Vendee, in spite of the factthat they had no idea of submitting either to drill or discipline,repulsed the efforts of forces commanded by the best generals Francecould furnish; and which grew, after every defeat, until at lengtharmies numbering, in all, over two hundred thousand men were collectedto crush La Vendee. The losses on both sides were enormous. La Vendee was almostdepopulated; and the Republicans paid dearly, indeed, for theirtriumph, no fewer than one hundred thousand men having fallen, on theirside. La Vendee was crushed, but never surrendered. Had the Britishgovernment been properly informed, by its agents, of the desperatenature of the struggle that was going on; they might, by throwingtwenty thousand troops, with supplies of stores and money into LaVendee, have changed the whole course of events; have crushed theRepublic, given France a monarch, and thus spared Europe over twentyyears of devastating warfare, the expenditure of enormous sums ofmoney, and the loss of millions of lives.G.

With Lee in Virginia

The Great War between the Northern and Southern States of America possesses a peculiar interest to us, not only because it was a struggle between two sections of a people akin to us in race and language, but because of the heroic courage with which the weaker party, with ill fed, ill clad, ill equipped regiments, for four years sustained the contest with an adversary not only possessed of immense numerical superiority, but having the command of the sea, and being able to draw its arms and munitions of war from all the manufactories of Europe. Authorities still differ as to the rights of the case. The Confederates firmly believed that the States, having voluntarily united, retained the right of withdrawing from the Union when they considered it for their advantage to do so. The Northerners took the opposite point of view, and an appeal to arms became inevitable. During the first two years of the war the struggle was conducted without inflicting unnecessary hardship upon the general population. But later on the character of the war changed, and the Federal armies carried widespread destruction wherever they marched. Upon the other hand, the moment the struggle was over the conduct of the conquerors was marked by a clemency and generosity altogether unexampled in history, a complete amnesty being granted, and none, whether soldiers or civilians, being made to suffer for their share in the rebellion. The credit of this magnanimous conduct was to a great extent due to Generals Grant and Sherman, the former of whom took upon himself the responsibility of granting terms which, although they were finally ratified by his government, were at the time received with anger and indignation in the North. It was impossible, in the course of a single volume, to give even a sketch of the numerous and complicated operations of the war, and I have therefore confined myself to the central point of the great struggle the attempts of the Northern armies to force their way to Richmond, the capital of Virginia and the heart of the Confederacy. Even in recounting the leading events in these campaigns, I have burdened my story with as few details as possible, it being my object now, as always, to amuse, as well as to give instruction in the facts of history.

At the Point of the Bayonet

The story of the war in which the power of the great Mahrattaconfederacy was broken is one of the most stirring pages of thecampaigns which, begun by Clive, ended in the firm establishment ofour great empire in the Indian Peninsula. When the struggle began,the Mahrattas were masters of no small portion of India; theirterritory comprising the whole country between Bombay and Delhi,and stretching down from Rajputana to Allahabad; while in the souththey were lords of the district of Cuttack, thereby separatingMadras from Calcutta. The jealousies of the great Mahratta leaders,Holkar and Scindia, who were constantly at war with each other, orwith the Peishwa at Poona, greatly facilitated our operations; andenabled us, although at the cost of much blood, to free a largeportion of India from a race that was a scourge faithless,intriguing and crafty; cruel, and reckless of life. The Mahrattas,conquering race as they were, yet failed in the one virtue ofcourage. They could sweep the land with hordes of wild horseme*n,could harry peaceful districts and tyrannize over the towns theyconquered; but they were unable to make an effective stand againstBritish bayonets and British sabres. They were a race offreebooters; and even the most sentimental humanitarian can feel noregret at the overthrow of a power that possessed no single claimto our admiration, and weighed like an incubus upon the peoples itoppressed. The history of the Mahrattas, as written by Grant Duff,whose account I have, throughout, followed, is one long record ofperfidy, murder, and crime of all sorts.G. A. Henty

In the Irish Brigade

In the Irish Brigade A Tale of War in Flanders and Spain Preface The evils arising from religious persecution, sectarian hatred, ill government, and oppression were never more strongly illustrated than by the fact that for a century Ireland, which ha since that time furnished us with a large proportion of our best soldiers, should have been among our bitterest and most formidable foes, and her sons fought in the ranks of our greatest continental enemy. It vas not because they were adherents of the house of Stuart that Irishmen left their native country to take service abroad, but because life in Ireland was rendered well nigh intolerable for Catholics on account of the nature and severity of the laws against them, and the bitterness with which those laws were carried into effect. An Irish Catholic had no prospects of employment or advancement at home. He could hold no civil appointment of any kind he could not serve as an officer, nor even enlist 8s a private, in the army he could not hold land he was subject to imprisonment, and even death, on the most trifling and frivolous accusations brought against him by the satellites of the Irish Government. Not only could he not sit in the parliament of Dublin, but he could not kven vote at elections…

With Buller In Natal

It will be a long time before the story of the late war can be written fully and impartially. Even among the narratives of those who witnessed the engagements there are many differences and discrepancies, as is necessarily the case when the men who write are in different parts of the field. Until, then, the very meagre military dispatches are supplemented by much fuller details, anything like an accurate history of the war would be impossible. I have, however, endeavored to reconcile the various narratives of the fighting in Natal, and to make the account of the military occurrences as clear as possible. Fortunately this is not a history, but a story, to which the war forms the background, and, as is necessary in such a case, it is the heroes of my tale, the little band of lads from Johannesburg, rather than the leaders of the British troops, who are the most conspicuous characters in the narrative. As these, although possessed of many admirable qualities, had not the faculty of being at two places at once, I was obliged to confine the action of the story to Natal. With the doings of the main army I hope to deal next.

Maori and Settler

To Herat And Cabul

Unedited, unabridged, original format editions with original colored cover art, these Henty books reproduce the original in careful detail.

The greatest defeat ever experienced by the British Army was that in the Mountain Pas*ses of Afghanistan. Angus Cameron, the hero of this book, having been captured by the friendly Afghans, was compelled to be a witness of the calamity. His whole story is an intensely interesting one, from his boyhood in Persia; his employment under the government at Herat; through the defense of that town against the Persians; to Cabul, where he shared in all the events which ended in the awful march through the Pas*ses from which but one man escaped. Angus is always at the point of danger, and whether in battle or in hazardous expeditions shows how much a brave youth, full of resources, can do, even with so treacherous a foe. His dangers and adventures are thrilling, and his escapes marvelous.

With Kitchener in the Soudan

The reconquest of the Soudan will ever be mentioned as one of the most difficult, and at the same time the most successful, enterprises ever undertaken. The task of carrying an army hundreds of miles across a waterless desert; conveying it up a great river, bristling with obstacles; defeating an enormously superior force, unsurpassed in the world for courage; and, finally, killing the leader of the enemy and crushing out the last spark of opposition; was a stupendous one. After the death of Gordon, and the retirement of the British troops, there was no force in existence that could have barred the advance of the fanatical hordes of the Mahdi, had they poured down into Egypt. The native Egyptian army was, as yet, in the earliest stage of organization; and could not be relied upon to stand firm against the wild rush of the Dervishes. Fortunately, time was given for that organization to be completed; and when, at last, the Dervish forces marched north, they were repulsed. Assouan was saved, and Wady Halfa became the Egyptian outpost. Gradually, preparations were made for taking the offensive. A railway was constructed along the banks of the Nile, and a mixed force of British and Egyptians drove the enemy beyond Dongola; then, by splendidly organized labour, a railroad was made from Wady Halfa, across the desert, towards the elbow of the great bend from Dongola to Abu Hamed. The latter place was captured, by an Egyptian brigade moving up from the former place; and from that moment, the movement was carried on with irresistible energy. The railway was pushed forward to Abu Hamed; and then southward, past Berber, up to the Atbara river. An army of twenty thousand men, under one of the Khalifa’s sons, was attacked in a strong position and defeated with immense loss. Fresh British troops were then brought up; and, escorted by gunboats and steamers carrying provisions, the army marched up the Nile, crushed the Khalifa’s great host before Omdurman, and recovered possession of Khartoum. Then, the moving spirit of this enterprise, the man whose marvellous power of organization had secured its success, was called to other work. Fortunately, he had a worthy successor in Colonel Wingate; who, with a native force, encountered that which the Khalifa had again gathered, near El Obeid, the scene of the total destruction of the army under Hicks Pasha; routed it with ease, killing the Khalifa and all his principal emirs. Thus a land that had been turned into a desert, by the terrible tyranny of the Mahdi and his successor, was wrested from barbarism and restored to civilization; and the stain upon British honour, caused by the desertion of Gordon by the British ministry of the day, was wiped out. It was a marvellous campaign marvellous in the perfection of its organization, marvellous in the completeness of its success.

With the British Legion

Unedited, unabridged, original format editions with original colored cover art, these Henty books reproduce the original in careful detail. Arthur Hallet, a young English boy, finds himself in difficulty at home, through certain harmless school escapades, and enlists in the famous ‘British Legion,’ which was then embarking for Spain to take part in the campaign to repress the Carlist uprising of 1836. Arthur shows his mettle in the first fight, distinguishes himself by daring work in carrying an important dispatch to Madrid, makes a dashing and thrilling rescue of the sister of his patron, and is rapidly promoted to the rank of captain. In following the adventures of the hero the reader obtains, as is usual with Mr. Henty’s stories, a most accurate and interesting history of a picturesque campaign.

Through Three Campaigns

Our little wars attract far less attention among the people of thiscountry than they deserve. They are frequently carried out incircumstances of the most adverse kind. Our enemies, although ignorant of military discipline are, as a rule, extremely brave; and arethoroughly capable of using the natural advantages of their country. Our men are called upon to bear enormous fatigue, and endure extremes inclimate. The fighting is incessant, the peril constant. Nevertheless,they show a magnificent contempt for danger and difficulty; and fightwith a valour and determination worthy of the highest praise.I have chosen, as an illustration of this, three campaigns; namely, therelief of Chitral, the Tirah campaign, and the relief of Coomassie. Thefirst two were conducted in a mountainous country, affording everyadvantage to the enemy; where pas*ses had to be scaled, torrents to beforded, and deep snow to be crossed. In the other, the country was acombination of morass and thick forest, frequently intersected by wideand deep rivers. The work, moreover, had to be done in a tropicalclimate, during the rainy season. The conditions, therefore, were muchmore trying than in the case of former expeditions which had crossed thesame ground and, in addition, the enemy were vastly more numerous andmore determined; and had, in recent years, mastered the art of buildingextremely formidable stockades. The country has a right to be proud, indeed, of the prowess both of ourown troops and of our native regiments. Boys who wish to obtain fullerdetails of these campaigns I would refer to Sir George Robertson’sChitral; H. C. Thomson’s Chitral Campaign; Lieutenant Beynon’s WithKelly to Chitral; Colonel Hutchison’s Campaign in Tirah; ViscountFincastle and P. C. Eliott Lockhart’s A Frontier Campaign; and CaptainHarold C. J. Biss’s The Relief of Kumasi, from which I have principallydrawn the historical portion of my story.G. A. Henty.

This is a rattling story of the battle and the breeze in the glorious days of Parker and Nelson. The hero is brought up in a Yorkshire fishing village, and enters the navy as a ship’s boy. In the course of a few months after joining he so distinguishes himself in action with French ships and Moorish pirates that he is raised to the dignity of midshipman. His ship is afterward sent to the West Indies. Here his services attract the attention of the Admiral, who gives him command of a small cutter. In this vessel he cruises about among the islands, chasing and capturing pirates, and even attacking their strongholds. He is a born leader of men, and his pluck, foresight, and resource win him success where men of greater experience might have failed. He is several times taken prisoner: by mutinous negroes in Cuba, by Moorish pirates who carry him as a slave to Algiers, and finally by the French. In this last case he escapes in time to take part in the battles of Cape St. Vincent and Camperdown. His adventures include a thrilling experience in Corsica with no less a companion than Nelson himself.
