Описание: In 1864, General Grant tasked General David Hunter with raiding the breadbasket of the Shenandoah Valley and destroying the Confederate factories and supply lines. General Lee dispatched General William E. "Grumble" Jones, and the forces collided up the fertile fields of eastern Augusta County. It was a bloody day--the Battle of Piedmont saw more men killed and wounded than in any of Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley encounters. Sweeping on to victory, Federal forces then occupied Staunton and laid waste to the railroad and Confederate workshops. Join Civil War historian Scott C. Patchan as he chronicles the campaign and sheds light on its place in the war.

Описание: Excerpt from The War in Tong-King: Why the French Are in Tong-King, and What They Are Doing There The tai-ping rebellion had long since been brought to a close but disturbances which still existed in the south-western provinces of China offered a field for the trade in war material which Dupuis had established in 1859 at Han kow. We have mentioned the Mahometan ih surrection in Yunnan. The Mahometan rebels still held their stronghold, Tali; and the Chi nese were in need of modern arms. Hitherto the only means of communicating with this part of China had been by the Yang-tse; and it took Dupuis' boats sixty or seventy days to ascend to sze-chuen, the province north of Yunnan. A shorter and easier route would be of vast advantage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
