Caught between these covers is the authentic, forthright voice of Christian Watt, servant girl, lady’s maid and fishwife. Born in 1833, her working life began in domestic service before the age of nine and ended with her selling her husband’s catch from door to door. The tragic death of most of her close male family – her husband, four brothers and her favorite child – drowned by a sudden squall that sunk their boat, robbed her of her sanity. But cared for in the remarkable Cornhill Asylum in Aberdeen, a kindly doctor encouraged her to write her memoirs in pencil.

Free Download Alan Jaroslovsky, "Memoirs of a Citizen in Uniform: 1968 – 1973"
English | ISBN: 1098397487 | 2021 | 92 pages | EPUB | 1172 KB
Memoirs of a Citizen in Uniform is the brief account of an ordinary college student dealing with the draft and the Vietnam War, from his attempts to avoid service in 1968 to his release from active duty as a naval officer after seven months of combat in 1973. It is told from the perspective of his 73-year-old self, aided by his wartime journal. He neither glorifies nor denigrates his experiences, but rather chronicles a young man’s maturing in a difficult and tumultuous time and under stressful circumstances. Told conversationally and with the author’s sense of humor occasionally showing through despite the situation, it is the history of a difficult era from a youth’s viewpoint.

Free Download Carl Rückert’s Memoirs of the Franco-Prussian War by Alfred Kelly
English | September 22, 2018 | ISBN: 9783319958033 | 230 pages | EPUB | 8.17 Mb
This book offers the first English-language translation of the finest soldier’s memoir to emerge from the Franco-Prussian War, titled With my Rucksack: The Unvarnished Campaign Memoirs of an Infantryman from the Year 1870 by Carl Rückert. Lasting from 1870-1871, this was the war that made the modern German nation and set Europe on the path to World War I, and Carl Rückert offers an unrivalled worm’s eye view of the experiences of common soldiers who fought in it. A Hessian lance corporal in the German army, he was a close observer of daily hardships, class tensions, the influence of nationalism, and the terrors of combat. He was gravely wounded in the war’s decisive battle at Gravelotte, where he was among the first Europeans to face the horrors of breech-loading rifles, machine guns, and accurate artillery. Accompanied by an insightful translator’s introduction and a wealth of footnotes, this book is an invaluable link to the everyday realities of the Franco-Prussian War.
