Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Fallen Hero: A Biographical Sketch of Worth Bagley, Ensign, U. S. N In response to a request made to the family of Ensign Worth Bagley for a sketch of his life for publication, this volume has been prepared. There has been no attempt to write an elaborate biography, but only a desire to put in permanent form, for the emulation of aspiring youth, the record of the short and brilliant career of the first American officer to die in battle in the war between the United States and Spain. The editor has sought to let the letters of the dead Ensign tell the story of his young life. During the eight and a half years that elapsed between his entering the Naval Academy and his heroic death at Cardenas, his letters to his mother, sisters and brothers touched upon every topic that interested him. They give a better insight to his hopes, his loves, his ambitions and his character than can be derived from any other source. Written for the eye only of those he loved best there is no reserve. The extracts given show his inmost thoughts and feelings. It is only from such letters that the real heart of the man can be known. In collating from the letters written home by Worth Bagley, and the letters of sympathy to his sorrowing mother, the controlling purpose has been to convey a clear understanding of his sweet home life; his abounding love for his mother: his affection for his sisters, brothers and kindred; his high ideals of life; his chivalry that shone out in all his association with women; his clean and pure life - "His strength was as the strength of ten Because his heart was pure;" his manly spirit and steadfastness of purpose, his generous disposition, comradeship and broad charity; his noble ambitions, animating to high and lofty deeds; his devotion to his profession to which he was wedded; his love for his fellow men and his faith in God; and his splendid courage, enabling him to conquer fear and meet death with a smile upon his face. It is hoped and believed that, though the preparation has been hurried, the simple recital of what he thought and what he did will stimulate to high aims and lofty aspirations all manly and ambitious youth who are moved by the example of heroic achievement.

Download or read book First Fallen written by Meg Groeling and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “well-written, superbly researched” biography of the man who answered the call of his mentor, Abraham Lincoln, and became the first Union officer to die (Civil War News). On May 24, 1861, Col. Elmer Ellsworth became the first Union officer killed in the Civil War. The entire North was aghast. This is the first modern biography of this nineteenth-century celebrity and mostly forgotten national hero. Ellsworth and his entertaining U.S. Zouave Cadets drill team had performed at West Point, in New York City, and for President James Buchanan before returning home to Chicago. He helped his friend and law mentor Abraham Lincoln in his quest for the presidency, and when Lincoln put out the call for troops after Fort Sumter was fired upon, Ellsworth responded. Within days he organized more than a thousand New York firefighters into a regiment of volunteers. When he was killed, the Lincolns rushed to the Navy Yard to view the body of the young man they had loved as a son. Mary Lincoln insisted he lie in state in the East Room of the White House. The elite of New York brought flowers to the Astor House and six members of the 11th New York accompanied their commander’s coffin. When a late May afternoon thunderstorm erupted during his funeral service at the Hudson View Cemetery, eyewitnesses referred to it as “tears from God himself.” But the death of the young hero was knocked out of the headlines eight weeks later by the battle of First Bull Run. The trickle of blood had now become a torrent that would not stop for four long years. Meg Groeling’s biography is grounded in years of archival research and includes diaries, personal letters, newspapers, and many other accounts. In the six decades since the last portrait of Ellsworth was written, new information has been found that provides a better understanding of the Ellsworth phenomenon and his deep connections to the Lincoln family. First Fallen examines every facet of Ellsworth’s complex, fascinating life and adds richly to the historiography of the Civil War. “Poignant . . . Groeling makes it clear why Lincoln was so powerfully drawn to the magnetic young man.” —Michael Burlingame, author of An American Marriage: The Untold Story of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Includes maps and photos

Download or read book Caraleigh written by Steven A. Hill and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caraleigh neighborhood in south Raleigh was founded in 1892 with the opening of a cotton mill, fertilizer plant and workers' town. The old textile complex, with its "immense" brick structures continue to evoke a strong impression of a bygone period. The old mill remains the community's focal point as of 2022, leading some to worry that Caraleigh's modernized structure may conceal dark secrets. After the Civil War, cotton mills were at the heart of the South's frenzied pursuit of economic and psychological regeneration between 1880 and 1915. As Raleigh's greatest textile venture, Caraleigh itself was founded by a group of cotton investors. The origins of Raleigh's north-south divide can be seen in the many economic, psychological, social and political perils. While the Downtown South project promises a bright future for Raleigh in 2022, a close examination of the city's economic and social stratification in the past reveals the city's inequality, resulting in an affluent north Raleigh and a pauperized "south Raleigh ghetto." This work illuminates previously unrecognized aspects of Raleigh's history, such as how an outskirts neighborhood shaped the city's development during the twentieth century.
