Download or read book Women in the Civil War written by Larry G. Eggleston and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Civil War broke out, women answered the call for help. They broke away from their traditional roles and served in many capacities, some of them even going so far as to disguise themselves as men and enlist in the army. Estimates of such women enlistees range from 400 to 700. About 60 women soldiers were known to have been killed or wounded. More than sixty women who fought or who served the Union or Confederacy in other ways are featured. Among them are Sarah Thompson, the Union spy and nurse who brought down the famous raider John Hunt Morgan; Elizabeth Van Lew, the Union spy instrumental in the largest prison break of the war; Sarah Malinda Blalock, who fought for the Confederacy as a soldier and then for the Union as a guerrilla raider; Dr. Mary Walker, a doctor for the Union and the only woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for Civil War service; and Jennie Hodgers, the longest serving woman soldier (and the only woman to receive a soldier's pension).

Download or read book The Civil War Guerrilla written by Joseph M. BeileinJr. and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans are familiar with major Civil War battles such as Manassas (Bull Run), Shiloh, and Gettysburg, which have been extensively analyzed by generations of historians. However, not all of the war's engagements were fought in a conventional manner by regular forces. Often referred to as "the wars within the war," guerrilla combat touched states from Virginia to New Mexico. Guerrillas fought for the Union, the Confederacy, their ethnic groups, their tribes, and their families. They were deadly forces that plundered, tortured, and terrorized those in their path, and their impact is not yet fully understood. In this richly diverse volume, Joseph M. Beilein Jr. and Matthew C. Hulbert assemble a team of both rising and eminent scholars to examine guerrilla warfare in the South during the Civil War. Together, they discuss irregular combat as practiced by various communities in multiple contexts, including how it was used by Native Americans, the factors that motivated raiders in the border states, and the women who participated as messengers, informants, collaborators, and combatants. They also explore how the Civil War guerrilla has been mythologized in history, literature, and folklore. The Civil War Guerrilla sheds new light on the ways in which thousands of men, women, and children experienced and remembered the Civil War as a conflict of irregular wills and tactics. Through thorough research and analysis, this timely book provides readers with a comprehensive examination of the guerrilla soldier and his role in the deadliest war in U.S. history.

Download or read book A Quiet Corner of the War written by Gilbert Claflin and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2013 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, Judy Cook discovered a packet of letters written by her great-great-grandparents, Gilbert and Esther Claflin, during the American Civil War. An unexpected bounty, these letters from 1862–63 offer visceral witness to the war, recounting the trials of a family separated. Gilbert, an articulate and cheerful forty-year-old farmer, was drafted into the Union Army and served in the Thirty-Fourth Wisconsin Infantry garrisoned in western Kentucky along the Mississippi. Esther had married Gilbert when she was fifteen; now a woman with two teenage sons, she ran the family farm near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, in Gilbert’s absence. In his letters, Gilbert writes about food, hygiene, rampant desertions by drafted men, rebel guerrilla raids, and pastimes in the daily life of a soldier. His comments on interactions with Confederate prisoners and ex-slaves before and after the Emancipation Proclamation reveal his personal views on monumental events. Esther shares in her letters the challenges and joys of maintaining the farm, accounts of their boys Elton and Price, concerns about finances and health, and news of their local community and extended family. Esther’s experiences provide insight into family, farm, and village life in the wartime North, an often overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Judy Cook has made the letters accessible to a wider audience by providing historical context with notes and appendixes. The volume includes a foreword by Civil War historian Keith S. Bohannon.

Download or read book A Family Portrait written by Betty Littleton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The governing purpose for A Family Portrait from beginning to end has been to delineate the kinds of people the writer's forebears were-their characters, their habits and values, successes and failures-and to trace in their lives the history that encompassed them. Their significance lies in their brilliant ordinariness. In them we come to see the continuity of human life which funnels the past through us to the future. The author writes about those generations before her, "no matter how different we are from each other, our experience is inevitably the same. We know happiness and grief, hope and despair, love and the kind of resentment and fear that grow into hate. We know disappointment and humiliation, exhilaration and the pride that comes from small triumphs. We are selfish and cowardly but all of us have moments of heroism when our own generosity and courage take us by surprise. Our families help us see these things. Imperfect as they were, they believed in us and loved us without reservation in our own imperfection. These gifts we keep and use and pass along to the next generation, hoping they are improved but knowing that our best-we hope we have done our best--shifts with each new perspective. This is what it means to be a part of the communion of saints, and these are the saints that sustain us."
