  • The Drummer Boy

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    One evening, in the month of October, 1861, the Manly family were gathered together in their little sitting-room, discussing a question of the most serious importance to all of them, and to Frank in particular.

  • Father Brighthopes: An Old Clergyman's Vacation

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    Mr. Royden felt the force of the remark, but, being a man of exceedingly fine nerves, he did not think it would be possible for him to break up his habit of fretfulness, in the midst of all the annoyances which strewed his daily path with thorns. He said as much to his aged friend. "Do you never stop to consider the utter insignificance of all those little trials, compared with the immortal ... Read more

  • Cudjo's Cave

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    Carl crept stealthily up the bank, and, peering through the window, saw the master writing at his desk. In his neat Quaker garb, his slender form bent over his task, his calm young face dimly seen in profile, there he sat. The room was growing dark; the glow of a March sunset was fading fast from the paper on which the swift pen traced these words:— "Tennessee is getting too hot for me. My school ... Read more

  • A Picture of the Desolated States and the Work of Restoration. 1865-1868

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    In the month of August, 1865, I set out to visit some of the scenes of the great conflict through which the country had lately passed. On the twelfth I reached Harrisburg,—a plain, prosaic town of brick and wood, with nothing especially attractive about it except its broad-sheeted, shining river, flowing down from the Blue Ridge, around wooded islands, and between pleasant shores. It is in this ... Read more

  • The Man Who Stole A Meeting-House

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    Jedwort himself had been going to rack and ruin, morally speaking. He was a middling decent sort of man when I first knew him; and I judge there must have been something about him more than common, or he never could have got such a wife. But then women do marry, sometimes, unaccountably. I've known downright ugly and disagreeable fellows to work around, till by and by they would get a pretty girl ... Read more

  • The Young Surveyor; or, Jack on the Prairies

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    I 'lowed your boss would come himself, in place of sendin' a boy! muttered the old man, taking up the gun,—a light double-barrelled fowling-piece,—sighting across it with an experienced eye, and laying it down again. "Sal, bring the axe; it's stickin' in the log thar by the wood-pile. Curi's thing, to lose my section corner, hey?" "It's not a very uncommon thing," replied the young surveyor. "Fact ... Read more

  • A Chance for Himself: Jack Hazard and His Treasure

    by John Townsend Trowbridge ...
    Jack’s first thought was, that the creature, whatever it might be, was in the log when he placed his clothes there, and that it had afterwards seized them and perhaps torn them to pieces. Then he reflected that the hair he touched felt wet; and he said, “The thing ran to its hole after I put the clothes in, and it has pushed ’em along farther into the log. Wonder what it can be!” It was evidently ... Read more

  • Madam Constantia: The Romance of A Prisoner of War In The Revolution (South Carolina)

    by Jefferson Carter ...
    Six months ago I went through the old papers in the Strongroom. I noted that neither my father nor my grandfather had added a line, save in the way of leases and the like, to the records which the first and second baronets left of the Siege of Newcastle, and of the Union troubles. It occurred to me that we owed something to posterity; and that, for lack of more important matter, my fortunes en ... Read more
