Lincoln's Body Guard; The Union Light Guard: The Seventh Independent Company of Ohio Volunteer Cavalry; 1863-1865. E-book. Formato PDF Robert W. Mcbride   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

This booklet is not intended as a contribution to either literature or history. It is intended as a mere token of remembrance among comrades. As memory reaches back through the years, my heart turns to those comrades of mine who, in the midst of one of the most deadly conflicts the world has ever known, volunteered to go as soldiers on a special service, the nature of which none of them knew. They only knew that they were going in the service of their country, but they also knew that in that day, wherever men followed the old flag, death trod on the heels of duty. It seems to me that at that stage of the war, men who volunteered for an unknown and special service were entitled to as much credit as if they had volunteered in a forlorn hope.They went, expecting to face danger, and were disappointed when they were denied that chance. It has taken years to efface that disappointment and bring to them a tardy realization that their service was as honorable as if they had actually challenged death on the field of battle.

Pioneer Biography: Sketches of the Lives of Some of the Early Settlers of Butler County, Ohio. E-book. Formato PDF James Mcbride   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

A number of the sketches are of comparatively little importance, historically, containing as they do not much else than private family details; and, while ~ah apology may be due for admitting them into a Historical Series, yet, they have a certain value as records of some Of the Oldest pioneer families, which may sufficiently justify their publication. We are not without hope, too, that some Genealogical Society in this Ohio Valley may yet be grateful to us for preserving what we have been tempted to reject. So, trusting in this hope, and not on present appreciation, we give all the sketches which Mr. MC bride selected for publication, even though some of them are only Of local and personal interest.
