Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Civil War broke out he sold his lucrative business and chiefly at his own expense, raised a battery which throughout the war was known as Bouton’s Battery—Battery I, First Regiment, Illinois Light Artillery. Generals Halleck and Sherman both pronounced him the best artillery officer in the army. "He was the most daring brigadier we had in the West." Bouton met Captain Ulysses S. Grant in Illinois just after the outbreak of war. He met Sherman at Shiloh. In that battle, at Corinth, on the Mississippi, at Tupelo and elsewhere, Edward Bouton served with both Generals and proved his worth as an outstanding officer. Now you can read about this remarkable man and his wartime exploits, one of the forgotten heroes of the American Civil War. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Download or read book A Famous Battery And Its Campaigns 1861 64 Abridged Annotated written by Captain James E. Smith and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1892-01-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians now recognize the brilliant record of the 4th New York Independent Battery at the Battle of Gettysburg. Alone and only feebly supported, this artillery battery, led by Captain James Smith, bore the first assault of Hood's Division on Devil's Den, in front of Round Top in the battle of the second day. Smith himself was commended on the field by General Henry Jackson Hunt (chief of artillery). The 4th Battery imposed a delay on Hood's troops at Devil's Den, which gave time to Union General Warren to hasten forward defenders for Little Round Top, which, it is claimed, was lost by the enemy by less than five minutes. The title is ironic, since in Smith's day, the activities of the 4th at Gettysburg were little known. In addition to a detailed account of Gettysburg by Smith, this book contains stories and anecdotes from other parts of the battery's service. Front-line accounts of the American Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battery D, First Rhode Island Light Artillery, in the Civil War, 1861-1865 At a meeting of Battery D Association, held at Roger Williams Park, June 6th, 1891, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That George C. Sumner is hereby appointed Historian of the Association, and earnestly requested to write and publish a History of Battery D, First Rhode Island Light Artillery. Comrade Sumner accepted the position, and at once commenced to look up material for the work. He soon found that he had quite a task to perform. At the battle of Cedar Creek, late in the war, all the books and papers of the battery were captured by the enemy, it thus became rather a tedious undertaking to hunt up facts and dates. Artificer Clark Walker and Corporal Knight had diaries of some parts of their service, which was about all the material on hand to start with. The Adjutant General's Office furnished considerable information. The Roster of the Batter was taken entirely from that office. The "War Records" was another source from which facts and dates were collected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
