Summary

In "Stories Told to a Child," Jean Ingelow weaves a tapestry of enchanting narratives designed to captivate the imaginative minds of young readers. This collection includes a series of delightful tales, infusing elements of fantasy and moral lessons, all wrapped in Ingelow's lyrical prose. Her writing is a harmonious blend of simplicity and sophistication, reflecting the Victorian era's values while also inviting contemporary interpretations of innocence, curiosity, and the moral fabric of childhood. These stories not only entertain but serve as vehicles for deeper contemplation on character and consequence, making them suitable for both leisurely reading and educational exploration. Jean Ingelow (1820-1897) was a prominent English poet and novelist, whose own upbringing and experiences as a child in a close-knit family informed her approach to storytelling. The nurturing environment of her childhood fostered a love of literature that she would channel into her works, which often emphasize themes of empathy, imagination, and the formative nature of childhood experiences. Ingelow'Äôs literary career, marked by her appreciation for fairy tales and folklore, underscores her desire to impart wisdom through engaging narratives. "Stories Told to a Child" is highly recommended for those seeking to reconnect with the joys of childhood storytelling or for educators aiming to inspire young minds. This collection is a testament to the timelessness of narrative and its ability to shape moral understanding, making it a valuable addition to both personal libraries and classroom settings.

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
    	By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. On January 28, 1865 as Union General Ulysses S. Grant was continuing to lay siege to Lee’s army at Petersburg, Virginia, Davis sent three commissioners headed by Vice-President Stephens to initiate informal peace talks with Lincoln. By February 3, however, the talks, known as the Hampton Roads Conference, came to a stalemate as Lincoln would accept nothing less than total union, while Davis would only accept Southern independence.  
    	Even at that point, the South was clearly on its last legs. General George H. Thomas destroyed John Bell Hood’s Confederate army at the battles of Nashville and Franklin, leaving only two large Confederate armies still in the field. Lee's army was weakened by desertion, lack of supplies and casualties, and Joseph E. Johnston’s army could barely resist against Sherman’s army as it was advancing north toward Virginia.
