The Grinding Mill, first published in 1935, is the exciting autobiographical account of the author’s experiences in the heady times of Europe and Russia from 1913 to 1920, encompassing both World War I and the early chaotic days of the Russian Revolution. Author and nobleman Lobanov-Rostovsky provides a detailed account of his life as a soldier during the war, and then his difficulties as a member of the military and nobility as the communists begin their sweep across Russia. He managed to escape, first to the forces of the White Russians, and later to the safety of France. Eventually, he completes his studies in Paris and made his way to America, where he would go on to have a long and distinguished career at the University of Michigan. Lobanov-Rostovsky died in 1979 at the age of 86.

Free Download William Nathaniel Wood, "Reminiscences Of Big I"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1016440383, 1016435827 | EPUB | pages: 122 | 3.0 mb
Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg probably has been the theme of more writing than any other action of the Civil War. Common soldiers, nurses, surgeons, journalists, foreign observers, local residents and generals have all recounted their experiences and impressions. But relatively few company commanders who participated in that grand but futile assault have left a record of what they saw and did. Indeed, and especially on the Confederate side, the role of junior officers as told by themselves, constitutes a major gap in Civil War literature. Because of this fact, William Nathaniel Wood’s reminiscences of Gettysburg and the dozen other major battles in which he participated is of considerably greater value than the usual memoir.

Free Download Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre, Jason McCoy, Eternal Classics
English | 2021 | ISBN: B097S4FTTD | Format: MP3 / 9 hours and 21 minutes | 617 Mb
Stock investing is a relatively recent phenomenon, and the inventory of true classics is somewhat slim. When asked, people in the know will always list books by Benjamin Graham, Burton G. Malkiel’s A Random Walk Down Wall Street, and Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings by Philip A. Fisher. You’ll know you’re getting really good advice if they also mention Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore, a remarkable character who first started speculating in New England bucket shops at the turn of the century. Livermore, who was banned from these shady operations because of his winning ways, soon moved to Wall Street where he made and lost his fortune several times over. What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market itself. For example:
"It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I’ve known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine – that is, they made no real money out of it. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
