Wars and Rumors of War Across Four Decades

In the period of a man's life now forty years old how many notable and stirring wars have taken place. There have been wars and rumors of war—the Crimean war, the Indian mutiny, the struggle between Austria and Prussia, the war between France and Italy and Austria, the rebellion of China, our own civil conflict, the war between France and Germany, the war between Russia and Turkey, the war between Chili and Peru. There has been fighting in Italy, in Turkestan, in Spain, in Bosnia, and Herzegovina, in Mexico, in Abyssinia, on the gold coast of Africa, in Egypt, and in the Soudan.—Mobile Register.
