It may seem presumptuous that so young a man as myself should propose to write his life and memoirs, for, as a rule, one waits until he has accomplished something in the world, or until he has reached old age, before he ventures to tell of the times in which he has lived, and of his part in them. But the profession to which I belong, which is that of a soldier, and which is the noblest profession a man can follow, is a hazardous one, and were I to delay until to-morrow to write down what I have seen and done, these memoirs might never be written, for, such being the fortune of war, to-morrow might not come. So I propose to tell now of the little I have accomplished in the first twenty-three years of my life, and, from month to month, to add to these memoirs in order that, should I be suddenly taken off, my debit and credit pages may be found carefully written up to date and carried forward. On the other hand, should I live to be an old man, this record of my career will furnish me with material for a more complete autobiography, and will serve as a safeguard against a failing memory.]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:46:16 +0300 Boy Scout https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7265-boy_scout.html https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7265-boy_scout.html

A rule of the Boy Scouts is every day to do some one a good turn. Not because the copy-books tell you it deserves another, but in spite of that pleasing possibility. If you are a true scout, until you have performed your act of kindness your day is dark. You are as unhappy as is the grown-up who has begun his day without shaving or reading the New York Sun. But as soon as you have proved yourself you may, with a clear conscience, look the world in the face and untie the knot in your kerchief.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 22:20:09 +0300 Boy Scout Fire Fighters; Or Jack Danby's Bravest Deed https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7269-boy_scout_fire_fighters;_or_jack_danbys_bravest_deed.html https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7269-boy_scout_fire_fighters;_or_jack_danbys_bravest_deed.html

A pall of smoke, dark, ugly, threatening, hung over a wood in which the Thirty-ninth Troop of the Boy Scouts had been spending a Saturday afternoon in camp. They had been hard at work at signal practice, semaphoring, and acquiring speed in Morse signaling with flags, which makes wireless unnecessary when there are enough signalers, covering enough ground.]]> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:20:17 +0300 Boy Scout Aviators https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7267-boy_scout_aviators.html https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7267-boy_scout_aviators.html

"As long as I can't be at home," said Harry Fleming, "I'd rather be here than anywhere in the world I can think of!" "Rather!" said his companion, Dick Mercer. "I say, Harry, it must be funny to be an American!" Harry laughed heartily. "I'd be angry, Dick," he said, finally, "if that wasn't so English—and so funny! Still, I suppose that's one reason you Britishers are as big an empire as you are. You think it's sort of funny and a bit of a misfortune, don't you, to be anything but English?"]]> Tue, 22 Jun 2004 22:20:13 +0300 Boy Scout Fire Fighters https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7268-boy_scout_fire_fighters.html https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/7268-boy_scout_fire_fighters.html

In his preface, Davis sheds light on the origins of The Bar Sinister. "In the dog world, the original of the bull-terrier in the story is known as Edgewood Cold Steel and to his intimates as 'Kid'. His father was Lord Minto, a thoroughbred bull-terrier, well known in Canada, but the story of Kid's life is that his mother was a black-and-tan named Vic. She was a lady of doubtful pedigree. Among her offspring by Lord Minto, so I have been often informed by many Canadian dog-fanciers, breeders, and exhibitors, was the only white puppy, Kid, in a litter of black-and-tans."]]> Wed, 14 Nov 2007 13:28:07 +0200 Notes of a War Correspondent https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/171442-notes_of_a_war_correspondent.html https://nonfiction.library.land/richard-harding-davis/171442-notes_of_a_war_correspondent.html
