Download or read book Wilson s Creek written by William Garrett Piston and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1861, Americans were preoccupied by the question of which states would join the secession movement and which would remain loyal to the Union. This question was most fractious in the border states of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. In Missouri, it was largely settled at Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861, in a contest that is rightly considered the second major battle of the Civil War. In providing the first in-depth narrative and analysis of this important but largely overlooked battle, William Piston and Richard Hatcher combine a traditional military study of the fighting at Wilson's Creek with an innovative social analysis of the soldiers who participated and the communities that supported them. In particular, they highlight the importance of the soldiers' sense of corporate honor--the desire to uphold the reputation of their hometowns--as a powerful motivator for enlistment, a source of sustenance during the campaign, and a lens through which soldiers evaluated their performance in battle.

Lyon, and the Southern, or Confederate Troops, Under Command of Gens; McCulloch and Price, on Saturday, August 10, 1861, in Greene County, Missouri At last, on Sunday morning, June 24, 1861, the citizens of Springfield who lived in the eastern part of town, looked out on the St. Louis road and saw, coming leisurely along, a column of men led by others on horseback. The wind lifted and shook out a banner, which, when unfolded, showed the old familiar stripes in all their splendor and the stars in all their beautv. Just then the band struck up a spirit-stirring air, and the cry rang out and was caught up and borne through all the town, They are com ingi They are commingl If it was asked, wi40 are coming? The reply sometimes was, The Union soldiers, but often came the answer, The Yankee Dutch. People had different ways of looking at the thing and different ideas altogether about the matter!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four decades, Winfield Scott Hancock was a serving officer in the United States Army. In this affectionate memoir by his wife Almira, you learn many details and anecdotes from Hancock's life that appear no where else. Stationed in Los Angeles before the Civil War, southern friends like Armistead, Garnett, Pickett, and a host of other military comrades whom he loved, came to ask his advice. He replied, "I can give you no advice, as I shall not fight upon the principle of State-rights, but for the Union, whole and undivided, as I do not and will not belong to a country formed of principalities. I cannot sympathize with you; you must be guided by your own convictions, and I hope you will make no mistakes.” Known to his Army colleagues as "Hancock the Superb," he was especially lauded for his leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. One military historian wrote, "No other Union general at Gettysburg dominated men by the sheer force of their presence more completely than Hancock." He was severely wounded at Gettysburg but recovered to serve again. Widely recognized for his personal integrity, Hancock's name was proffered several times for the presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket. He ran for president in 1880 but was defeated by James Garfield. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Download or read book The Annotated Memoirs of Ulysses S Grant The Annotated Books written by Ulysses S. Grant and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 997 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With kaleidoscopic, trenchant, path-breaking insights, Elizabeth D. Samet has produced the most ambitious edition of Ulysses Grant’s Memoirs yet published. One hundred and thirty-three years after its 1885 publication by Mark Twain, Elizabeth Samet has annotated this lavish edition of Grant’s landmark memoir, and expands the Civil War backdrop against which this monumental American life is typically read. No previous edition combines such a sweep of historical and cultural contexts with the literary authority that Samet, an English professor obsessed with Grant for decades, brings to the table. Whether exploring novels Grant read at West Point or presenting majestic images culled from archives, Samet curates a richly annotated, highly collectible edition that will fascinate Civil War buffs. The edition also breaks new ground in its attack on the “Lost Cause” revisionism that still distorts our national conversation about the legacy of the Civil War. Never has Grant’s transformation from tanner’s son to military leader been more insightfully and passionately explained than in this timely edition, appearing on the 150th anniversary of Grant’s 1868 presidential election.
