Book excerpt: John Bell Hood was one of the most notorious Confederate generals of the Civil War, arguably the best division commander in the Army of Northern Virginia and also arguably the worst overall army commander of the Confederacy. The big Texan and his brigade were crucial at Antietam, and he fought hard and was injured at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, but when he took over the Army of Tennessee in 1864, he made disastrous decisions that wrecked the army at Franklin and Nashville. Hood died in 1879, fairly shortly after the war, but his generalship was so controversial that he felt compelled to defend it in a hastily written memoirs. In addition to talking about his own experiences, it rebuts General Joseph E. Johnston's writings, as the two men traded blame over the Atlanta campaign against Union general William Tecumseh Sherman.

Book excerpt: 'I can assure you, that the gallant hearts that throb beneath its sacred folds, will only be content, when this glorious banner is planted first and foremost in the coming struggle for our independence.' John Bell Hood. In the years following the Civil War a new war erupted in America, a war of words, with the men of both sides writing their memoirs and offering opinions on the recent conflict. While unfinished at the time of his death, in Advance and Retreat Hood sought to justify himself in response to what he deemed unfair treatment by J. E. Johnston and W. T. Sherman. From the outset Hood proved himself industrious and displayed conspicuous bravery in battle, and was quickly promoted to the command of the renowned Texas Brigade in 1862. A man who liked to lead from the front, Hood was severely wounded on two occasions in 1863, at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, where he would lose a limb. In 1864 he became the youngest man, Federal or Confederate, to command an army in the field, given the temporary rank of General. Driven along by communiqués and the considerable correspondence exchanged throughout the war, Hood's memoir adds another rich layer of understanding to the conflict that defined a nation. John Bell Hood (1831-79) graduated from West Point in 1853 and served in the U.S. Army until 1861. While his home state of Kentucky remained inactive, Hood resigned his commission to join the Confederates, in the service of his adopted state, Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advance and Retreat: Personal Experiences in the United States and Confederate States Armies Infantry. I sailed from New York in November of that year to join my regiment in California, Via Panama. On my arrival at San Francisco - at that time a small city built upon sandhills and ats, and distinguished for its foggy atmosphere I, together with one of my classmates, deemed it but proper that Officers of the United States Army should go to the hotel in a carriage; but to our astonishment, on hailing a driver, we found the charge to be twenty dollars in gold. This aspect of affairs - our pay being only about Sixty dollars a month compelled us to hold consultation with our brother officers and to adopt the only alternative: to proceed on foot to what ever quarters we desired to occupy.

Download or read book The Lost Papers of Confederate General John Bell Hood written by Stephen Hood and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars hail Confederate General John Bell Hood's personal papers as "the most important discovery in Civil War scholarship in the last half century." This invaluable cache includes documents relating to Hood's U.S. Army service, Civil War career, and postwar life. It includes letters from Confederate and Union officers, unpublished battle reports, detailed medical reports relating to Hood's two major wounds, and dozens of letters exchanged between Hood and his wife Anna. This treasure trove is being made available for the first time in paperback for both professional and amateur Civil War historians in The Lost Papers of Confederate General John Bell Hood, edited and annotated by award-winning author Stephen M. Hood. The historical community long believed General Hood's papers were lost or destroyed, and numerous books and articles were written about him without the benefit of these invaluable documents. In fact, the papers had been carefully preserved for generations by Hood's descendants. In 2012, collateral descendent Stephen Hood was given access to these papers as part of his research for his book John Bell Hood: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of a Confederate General (Savas Beatie, 2013). This 200+ document collection sheds important light on some of the war's lingering mysteries and controversies. For example, letters from Confederate officers help explain Hood's failure to entrap Schofield's Union army at Spring Hill, Tennessee, on November 29, 1864. Another letter by Lt. Gen. Stephen D. Lee helps to explain Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne's gallant but reckless conduct that resulted in his death at Franklin. Lee also lodges serious allegations against Confederate Maj. Gen. William Bate's troops. Other papers explain, for the first time, the purpose and intent behind Hood's "controversial" memoir Advance and Retreat, and validate its contents. While these and others offer a military perspective of Hood the general, the revealing letters between he and Anna, his beloved and devoted wife, help us better understand Hood the man and husband. Historians and other writers have spent generations speculating about Hood's motives, beliefs, actions, and objectives and the result has not always been flattering or even fully honest. Now, long-believed "lost" firsthand accounts previously unavailable offer insights into the character, personality, and military operations of John Bell Hood the general, husband, and father.
