Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Class of 1854 in Dartmouth College: Including Col. Haskell's Narrative of the Battle of Gettysburg The Class of 1854 has always contemplated and desired, in due time, a Class History. Before we graduated, Mussey, the secretary, issued questions, the answers to which would furnish materials for it; and all through his long service of almost forty years, he gathered memoranda for that use. At our meeting in 1885, in New York, the matter received much attention, and we separated, looking for an early issue of the hook. But Massey's lamented death cut off any hope that he would give us the result of his labors; and the Class met in 1894, rich with a store of material, accumulated by the secretary, with the effective co-operation of Eaton and Godding, and confronted with the question, how to utilize it. The result was the appointment of Hazen and Speare as secretary and treasurer, and as publishing committee, with instructions to make the best use practicable of the materials committed to our care, and to print the Class History. The result we here submit to classmates, in the hope that, if they do not find it all that they have looked for, as we know they will not, they will accept the result as measurably satisfactory and at least a partial fulfilment of their plan. Classmates who were at the meeting in 1891, will remember that we accepted the charge with great reluctance. We are busy men, and other duties have left us scant time for the editing of this record. Such as it is, we submit it to their charitable judgment. It has been a labor of love; and we cannot send it out without our testimony to the pleasure it has given us. It has been a joy to come again into touch with classmates of so long ago; to revive the memory of other days; to review the work which classmates have done, the battles they have fought, the good record which many of them have made. Some have finished their course, and their record is on high. We linger over their names with a tenderness not to be put in words. Not many years before we, qui supersunt adhuc, shall join them. Which one of us will outlive his sixty comrades? How many of us would choose, if we might, to be that veteran?

Book Along the Lines of Devotion

Download or read book Along the Lines of Devotion written by James Smith and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fighting on July 1, 1863 built the foundation to what would become known as the bloodiest battle fought on American soil. Yet, it remains one of the most overlooked locations ofthe battlefield. Cast into the shadows of much more scenic locations, such as Little Round Top, Devil's Den, and the Wheatfield, it is easy to drive right through one of the most iconic locations of the battlefield. This comprehensive and reader-friendly narrative works to shine some light onto a portion of the battlefield that is so often overlooked. Beginning on June 9 and taking the reader through to July 1, James Smith II goes through great lengths to explain the movement of troops, human interest stories, humorous accounts, and detailed descriptions of the men present for the battle, in a close examination of the harrowing deeds it took to preserve a nation during the American Civil War.

Book The Great    What Ifs    of the American Civil War

Download or read book The Great What Ifs of the American Civil War written by Chris Mackowski and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Thought-provoking and entertaining . . . What if Lincoln had dodged the assassin’s bullet? What if Lee had waged guerrilla warfare in April 1865?” —Gordon C. Rhea, author of the Overland Campaign series “What if. . . ?” Every Civil War armchair general asks the question. Possibilities unfold. Disappointments vanish. Imaginations soar. More questions arise. “What if . . .” can be more than an exercise in wistful fantasy. A serious inquiry sparks rigorous exploration, demands critical thinking, and unlocks important insights. The Great “What Ifs” of the American Civil War: Historians Tackle the Conflict’s Most Intriguing Possibilities is a collection of fourteen essays by the historians at Emerging Civil War, and includes a Foreword by acclaimed alternate history writer Peter G. Tsouras. Each entry focuses on one of the most important events of the war and unpacks the options of the moment. To understand what happened, we must look with a clear and objective eye at what could have happened, with the full multitude of choices before us. “What if” is a tool for illumination. These essays also explode the assumptions people make when they ask “what if” and then jump to wishful conclusions. This collection offers not alternate histories or counterfactual scenarios, but an invitation to ask, to learn, and to wonder . . . “A lively and engaging examination of those perennial ‘second guesses’ no student of the war fails to appreciate. No ‘pie in the sky’ here—each exploration is firmly rooted in fact, with a keen appreciation of context, providing provocative insight without sacrificing history.” —David A. Powell, author of the award–winning series The Chickamauga Campaign

Book Pickett s Charge in History and Memory

Download or read book Pickett s Charge in History and Memory written by Carol Reardon and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If, as many have argued, the Civil War is the most crucial moment in our national life and Gettysburg its turning point, then the climax of the climax, the central moment of our history, must be Pickett's Charge. But as Carol Reardon notes, the Civil War saw many other daring assaults and stout defenses. Why, then, is it Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg--and not, for example, Richardson's Charge at Antietam or Humphreys's Assault at Fredericksburg--that looms so large in the popular imagination? As this innovative study reveals, by examining the events of 3 July 1863 through the selective and evocative lens of 'memory' we can learn much about why Pickett's Charge endures so strongly in the American imagination. Over the years, soldiers, journalists, veterans, politicians, orators, artists, poets, and educators, Northerners and Southerners alike, shaped, revised, and even sacrificed the 'history' of the charge to create 'memories' that met ever-shifting needs and deeply felt values. Reardon shows that the story told today of Pickett's Charge is really an amalgam of history and memory. The evolution of that mix, she concludes, tells us much about how we come to understand our nation's past.
