This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Twenty Third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Birney's Zouaves: Three Months and Three Years Service, Civil War 1861-1865 This publication is not a history of the Civil War, nor does it intend to show how battles should have been fought, but is a plain recital of the life of the Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, compiled from diaries and personal recollections of its survivors, with references from Bates' History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, published by the State of Pennsylvania, and the United States Rebellion Records. Meetings of the various companies have been held from time to time, at which not only the history of the regiment has been gone over carefully, but the individual record of the officers and men, so that a complete and truthful story of the old command should appear in this volume. Every effort was made to obtain the photos of the officers and men that were killed in action, but it was found many never had a photo taken, so that of the 126 killed, but 56 photos of those men who died, that the nation might live, were secured. In addition to these photos it was deemed proper to insert the photos of the general officers under whom the command served, as well as the Officers and Council of Administration of the Survivors' Organization, and other members of the regiment. This book is not published to be sold by agents to the general public, but for distribution to its survivors and friends at its cost value. The Survivors' Association gives due acknowledgment to the State of Pennsylvania for its liberality, under recent Acts of the Assembly, in its purchase of four hundred copies for distribution to the various public libraries. Thanks are extended to the survivors of the Old Command for their valuable assistance in the preparation of this work of love, which the secretary not only deemed an honor, but a pleasant duty in its compilation.

Download or read book History of Kershaw s Brigade written by D. Augustus Dickert and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kershaw's Brigade: With Complete Roll of Companies, Biographical Sketches, Incidents, Anecdotes, Etc More than thirty-four years have passed away since the soldiers who composed the Second South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, the Third South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, the Eighth South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, the Fifteenth South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, the Twentieth South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, and the Third South Carolina Battalion of Infantry, which commands made up Kershaw's Brigade, laid down their arms; and yet, until a short time ago, no hand has been raised to perpetuate its history. This is singular, when it is remembered how largely the soldiers of this historic brigade contributed to win for the State of South Carolina the glory rightfully hers, by reason of the splendid heroism of her sons in the war between the States, from the year 1861 to that of 1865. If another generation had been allowed to pass, it is greatly feared that the power to supply the historian with the information requisite to this work would have passed away forever. The work which assumes to perpetuate the history of Kershaw's Brigade should not be a skeleton, consisting of an enumeration of the battles, skirmishes, and marches which were participated in - with the names of the commanding officers. What is needed is not a skeleton, but a body with all its members, so to speak. It should be stated who they were, the purposes which animated these men in becoming soldiers, how they lived in camp and on the march, how they fought, how they died and where, with incidents of bravery in battle, and of fun in camp. No laurels must be taken from the brow of brave comrades in other commands; but the rights of the soldiers of Kershaw's Brigade must be jealously upheld - everyone of these rights. To do this work, will require that the writer of this history shall have been identified with this command during its existence - he must have been a soldier. Again, he must be a man who acts up to his convictions; no toady nor any apologist is desired. If he was a Confederate soldier from principle, say so, and apologize to no one for the fact. If he loved his State and the Southland and wished their independence, say so, and "forget not the field where they perished." Lastly, he ought to have the ability to tell the story well. The friends of Captain D. Augustus Dickert, who commanded Company H of the Third South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, are confident that he possesses all the quality essential to this work. He was a splendid soldier - brave in battle, clear-headed always, and of that equilibrium of temperament that during camp life, amid the toil of the march, and in battle the necessity for discipline was recognized and enforced with justice and impartiality. He was and is a patriot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Civil War Letters of Alexander McNeill 2nd South Carolina Infantry Regiment written by Alexander McNeill and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two hundred eloquently written Civil War letters of love and life on the battlefield During the American Civil War, Alexander "Sandy" McNeill, a southern merchant, served in the Secession Guards, Company F, and Second South Carolina Regiment from April 17, 1861, to May 2, 1865. Within three weeks after the war began at Fort Sumter, McNeill wrote his first epistle to his long-time friend, Almirah Haseltine "Tinie" Simmons, in a campaign to win her heart and hand in marriage. The 29-year-old McNeill proclaimed in that letter, "I have always esteemed you as a friend and now I feel stealing over me a feeling which tells me that you are now held in higher estimation than that of a friend." Civil War historian and documentary editor Mac Wyckoff adds context to the correspondence, more than two hundred letters that encompass the entire duration of the war. With the exception of three breaks in communication, McNeill wrote to Tinie four to five times a week and persisted to the last week of April 1865, more than two weeks after General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. In general, letters written during the final six months of the war are hard to find as are many other primary source materials for the waning war. While this is among the largest and fullest Civil War collections, it is the literary quality of McNeill's letters and wide variety of topics reported that distinguish it from others. In frequent and lengthy missives, McNeill opened his heart and mind to Tinie, his fiancée and then wife. He fulsomely reported his experiences and thoughts on a soldier's life during this war, describing combat, camp life, the building of winter quarters, the marches, company election of officers, weather, food, and morale. McNeill chronicled his experiences at First Manassas (Bull Run), Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and other battles. A man of sophisticated opinions, McNeill voiced his personal views on political, religious and military events, and the names of fellow soldiers he liked and disliked--all illuminating his deep, dynamic character.
