Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Civil War: In the United States Now that the lapse of time has softened the memories of the great conflict, and, beneath the kindly intercourse daily becoming cemented between North and South, the whole country is rapidly growing in prosperity, wealth, and power, the acts of men who were violently assailed in the hour Of heated strife can and ought to be viewed with justice and kindness. Especially is this so in regard to those who are now far enough beyond the reach of criticism - in the unknown world.

But I had taken my stand deliberately, and meant to maintain it. The Secretary was still alone, and standing by his high table. Beckoning to me with his finger in a pleasant way, he put his arm around my shoulder, and drew my head close to his, when he whispered to me a very important secret, which it was not at all necessary I should know. He had weighed all I had said, found I was right, and took this method of showing me extraordinary confidence, by way of acknowledgment. This course, which the Secretary pursued more than once, fully accomplished his generous purpose without subjecting him to a direct confession of wrong, which he thought might weaken his influence. He knew that I well understood it so. In moments of leisure, he would often send for me, and in the most pleasant manner inquire about my business, to inform himself upon what was going on; and then converse generally on topics requiring consideration. In this way he maintained a sufficient knowledge of things he might have to act upon, and broke in upon the headlong current of events which seemed to cause everything to be done in a hurry. Although Mr. Stanton had the reputation of being very stern, he yet enjoyed a pleasantry as well as other people. He once told me that an attempt had been made on the life of Judge by sending him an infernal machine in the form of a daguerreotype-box. I remarked that murderous attempts seemed rife; the papers had stated that a man tried to kill a certain Senator the day before, but that he had drawn a pistol on the fellow, who escaped.

Hurlbut, who disbanded the 13th Independent Battery, Ohio Light Artillery, scattered its men, gave its guns to other units, and ordered its officers home, accusing all of cowardly performance in battle. Thomas N. Conrad, a Confederate spy operating in Washington, who warned Richmond of both the looming Federal Peninsula campaign in the spring of 1863 and the attack at Fredericksburg later that year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Does for the Civil War period what Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States did for the study of American history in general.” —Library Journal Historian David Williams has written the first account of the American Civil War as viewed though the eyes of ordinary people—foot soldiers, slaves, women, prisoners of war, draft resisters, Native Americans, and others. Richly illustrated with little-known anecdotes and firsthand testimony, this path-breaking narrative moves beyond presidents and generals to tell a new and powerful story about America’s most destructive conflict. A People’s History of the Civil War is a “readable social history” that “sheds fascinating light” on this crucial period. In so doing, it recovers the long-overlooked perspectives and forgotten voices of one of the defining chapters of American history (Publishers Weekly). “Meticulously researched and persuasively argued.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
