PDF Roman Paganism by Franz Cumont in History

Description

1867. From the Introduction: The histories of wars are records of the achievements of men; for the most part: the chroniclers have had to record that women; by their intrigues or their fatal gift of beauty; have been the cause of strifes innumerable; and it is confessed that they have inspired heroism and knightly deeds; but they have had small share in the actual conflicts. It has been their portion to suffer in silence at home; and to mourn the dead. For them it has been to hear of sufferings which they could not alleviate; to grieve or rejoice over results to which they had contributed only sympathy and prayers. It has been different in our Conflict for the Union. Includes stories about: Mrs. Fanny Ricketts; Mrs. Mary A. Brady; Kady Brownell; Mrs. P.B. Hurd; Margaret E.
