16 year old James Anderson joined the Texas cavalry during the American Civil War and, later, the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee and J.E.B Stuart. However, the longer he fights, the more suffering he sees, the death and destruction of his nation, the more he realizes what really is the true cost of war.

Journeys with my Gun by ninerbravo
58 parts Ongoing Mature
Overview 🦘My story will take you through my Army experiences including the dreadful inhumane mess that was the Vietnam War. Vietnam was mostly unknown to Australia before the war and whilst it is now a popular tourist destination, little is known about the war and our involvement in it. My involvement concluded with severe PTSD and a shocking journey into memory loss and a foray into the outback of Australia. Following the Vietnam disaster and my struggle with mental stress, my story will take you through my role as a recruit Instructor during national service years at the training battalion near Wagga NSW. Then a transfer to the Military Police which involved mainly training roles with the Corps and in a now forgotten loan of Australian Military Police to the British Army during the height of the troubles involving the Irish Republican Army and the Cold War security of what was West Germany whilst attached tithe British Army of the Rhine. My 20 years in the regular Army concluded as a Warrant Officer Class One. I followed on for 2 years as a training Warrant Officer in the Citizen Military Forces. Then it's onwards to read about my scary upbringing in the following 'Journey to war' story which relates my upbringing by a hateful mother culminating in an amazing journey to an extremely remote cattle station as a 12 year old. That experience presented a hard life, a huge learning curve and included a saga which now seems surreal, was this me or a movie I once saw. As is said, 'wait there's more' including the S.A public service, a dreadful shock to the system after I sneaked in as a training officer. As well, a period as a training consultant and ten years in mining management. Then life struck hard as you will understand if you decide to read on. So ! this is me, surviving Polio, being booted out of home and stranded in a lonely city far from home, later lost in the wilderness of the great outback, the trauma and legacy of personal loss.

Salvatoria: The Memoirs of Lucretia Aurelia

44 parts Complete Mature

Lucretia Aurelia Appius was only fourteen years old when soldiers ordered by Pompey the Great slayed her father and mother in front of her. They would have claimed her life as well, just for being her father's daughter, had she not miraculously run into one of Rome's most powerful men: Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar would take the scared girl into his villa, knowing she was a tool to make Pompey fall in line with him, and she wasn't worth much more... or so Caesar thought. This girl would turn out to be one of Rome's most cunning politicians, brilliant and fearsome generals and who's name would echo throughout history, using her mind, body and wiles to worm her way into the heart of Roman aristocracy, eventually rising... all the way to the top.
