Excerpt from Sebastopol Trenches and Five Months in ThemLife in the Trenches was much the same from day to day: actions, sorties, night attacks, fierce bom bardment from the forts, a watchful enemy ever on the alert, much peril experienced, many deeply inter esting incidents occurring, but the indomitable patience and perseverance of commanders, officers, and men eventually crowned the besiegers with success. N o siege of history ever concentrated upon itself so mightily the whole gaze of the civilized world as the Siege of Sebastopol, and what ever illustrates that siege and the character of the combatants engaged therein is of deep general interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
