Book excerpt: Excerpt from Army Life: A Private's Reminiscences of the Civil War Many volumes have been published in regard to the late Civil War in America. By these the nation is made familiar with the movements of our armies, and the results of those great military campaigns. These volumes have been written by civilians and officers of high rank, and consequently the story of the private soldier's life has never been told. That life was made up of events and surrounded by circum stances of the most interesting character. Not interesting to the soldier alone, but of interest to his friends, and all who enjoy the fruits of victory purchased by his sacrifices and patriotism. It was to supply, to a limited extent, this want so universally felt that the writer consented to furnish The Sketches of Army Life for the Republican Journal, of Belfast, Maine. The officers had spoken, but this was a voice from the ranks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Duncan: A Confederate Soldier Within the happy family circle, from which my children are now gone, these oft recounted recollections became a part of their education. I permitted them to turn the pages of my memory, as the leaves of a book, that they might learn the vanished glory of the old South - the loving loyalty and the sad travail of her people. And I trust that they learned also that our unfor tunate Civil War - now, thank God, nearly sixty years behind us - was a clash of honest principles.

Download or read book Letters of Robert Walker written by Robert Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Robert Walker: A Soldier in the Civil War of 1861-1865 In order to preserve these letters, tenderly kept by my mother for fifty-four years, up to the time of her death on January 8th, 1916, I am now having them published. The list is incomplete, as many of the letters were destroyed, but enough remain to make an interesting personal account. They are the letters of a young man with a young man's outlook on life, but they contain a great deal of historical information also. It is interesting to notice how the later letters are lacking in all nonsense, and as the war grows more fierce nothing but military news is given. The letter of March 14th, 1863, shows discouragement. There are also, in the letters indications of uncertainty regarding mail. Mrs. Martha Walker-West, of Logan, Ohio, the youngest and only living member of the immediate family, has written a short biography of the author. A print from the last photograph of the author is given on the front page. This was taken after a long hard march just before the fatal battle. The poem in the back of the book was sent home in a letter, words and music printed on a single sheet of paper. This little volume is given to friends in loving remembrance of my mother, whose life was saddened by the early death of her brother.

Download or read book The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by David Emmons Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War Some twenty-eight years ago I wrote and published a small book recounting my personal experiences in the Civil War, but this book is long out of print, and the publication exhausted. At the urgent request of some of my old comrades who still survive, and of friends and my own family, I have undertaken the task of rewriting and publishing this story. As stated in the preface to the former volume, the principal object of this work is to record, largely from memory, and after the lapse of many years (now nearly half a century) since the termination of the war between the states of the Federal Union, the history, conduct, character and deeds of the men who composed Company D, Seventh regiment of Virginia infantry, and the part they bore in that memorable conflict. The chief motive which inspires this undertaking is to give some meager idea of the Confederate soldier in the ranks, and of his individual deeds of heroism, particularly of that patriotic, self-sacrificing, brave company of men with whose fortunes and destiny my own were linked for four long years of blood and carnage, and to whom during that period I was bound by ties stronger than hooks of steel; whose confidence and friendship I fully shared, and as fully reciprocated.

Lee, Man and Soldier I desire, however, to signalize certain authorities whose masterly Studies have been found generally so accurate as to appear conclusive on the subjects of which they have treated.

Download or read book A History of Massachusetts in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by William Schouler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Massachusetts in the Civil War The original plan of this work would have included a brief narrative of each Massachusetts regiment which had served in the war, and a sketch of the meetings held in the several cities and towns in the Commonwealth to encourage recruiting, and to raise money and provide for the families of the soldiers. I soon found it was impossible to carry out this plan so as to do any thing like justice to the subjects. The mass of papers, letters, and reports bearing upon them placed in my hands, convinced me that one volume should he devoted exclusively to the three years' regiments, and one to the cities and towns. There are several thousand letters in the files of the Governor, Adjutant-General, and Surgeon-General, written from the front by officers and enlisted men, which contain information both interesting and valuable; and many more arc doubtless in the possession of the families of those who served in the war. From these and other sources, material can be furnished to make an interesting volume; and it is due to the veteran regiments that it should be written. I have received new and valuable material from nearly every city and town in the Commonwealth, showing what was done by them in carrying on the war; and from this could be compiled a work which would reflect the highest honor upon the municipalities of this Commonwealth.

I had no thought at the time, nor for many years after, of having it published, but, as the years sped on, and the old veterans of the Civil War were being rapidly mustered for final discharge, I have been urged by many old friends and comrades to publish it, that our children and grandchildren may realize something of the hardships and trials their ancestors cheerfully endured for love of country.

Download or read book Making a Soldier Classic Reprint written by A. C. Sharpe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making a Soldier The creation of an effective Army Reserve is one of the most perplexing questions with which the statesman has to deal. In Germany, Switzerland, France and other European countries the problem is solved by a system of conscription or compulsory service. Every young man on arriving at proper age, unless exempted for certain cause, is required to pass thru a prescribed period of military training. In England and the United States, on the contrary, no such system exists, as compulsory service, even for a short period, would be regarded by the people with extreme aversion. Reliance is therefore placed on volunteers. Neither of these methods, however, has been found entirely satisfactory. Conscription, being generally obnoxious, and especially so in time of peace, the term of service is reduced below a safe minimum and many exemptions are obtained. The volunteer system, on the other hand, is found equally defective. In peace it fails to secure sufficient men, and in war it has to be kept alive by the payment of enormous bounties. This has been the experience of the United States since the earliest days, and in the great civil war of 1861 even the bounty system finally broke down and gave place to the draft. If, however.
