Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carrying the News of Lee's Surrender to the Army of the Ohio: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, November 2, 1887 Carrying the News of Lee's Surrender tn the Army of the Ohio. The month of April, 1865, was momentous in its events relating to the War of the Rebellion. The vet eran armies of the West and East were marshaling in Virginia and North Carolina for the last great struggle. The Army of the Ohio, transported from the field of its recent victories in Tennessee, had assisted in opening the ports of the Atlantic, so that supplies could be accu mulated at such points as Sherman might find it neces sary to touch, in his march from Savannah through the Carolinas. Having secured Wilmington and moved up the coast to Goldsboro, where food and clothing and munitions of war were sent from Newberne, we heard the thunders of Sherman's guns at Bentonville, and, marching toward the sound of the artillery, effected a junction with the lost army and restored its communi cations With the armies in Virginia and with the National Capital. In quick succession great events were trans piring, and associated with them was an incident with which I was conspicuously connected. Its character is such that I will be pardoned, I am sure, if I use it to night to entertain you for a few moments and enable you to recall with me those stirring scenes connected with the close of our army life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob D. Cox experienced more facets of the Civil War than most officers: by land and sea, in both Western and Eastern Theaters, among the inner political circles of Ohio and Washington, DC, in territories hostile and friendly, amidst legal conflicts both civilian and military, and in the last campaigns in Tennessee and North Carolina. The Union general capitalized on his experience by penning his two-volume Military Reminiscences of the Civil War, one of the war’s finest memoirs and arguably the best by a nonprofessional soldier, as well as Atlanta and The Battle of Franklin, both definitive studies for nearly a century. In 2012, Gene Schmiel, Cox’s biographer, learned of a cache in the Oberlin College archives of 213 letters Cox wrote to his wife, Helen, during the war. Schmiel recognized these documents as a ready resource for Cox as he wrote his histories, and many stand as first drafts of Cox’s analyses of the military and sociopolitical events of the day. Helen Finney Cox (her husband affectionately referred to her as “Lilla”) was a mother of six and the daughter of Oberlin College president Charles Finney. These intimate and insightful wartime letters show both the fondness Cox had for his spouse and his respect for her as an intellectual equal. To Helen, the stoic, introverted statesman revealed—as he did to no one else—his inner thoughts and concerns, presenting observant, lucid, and informative reports and analyses of the war, his changing life, and his ambitions. This collection illustrates the life of a Gilded Age Renaissance man as he made the transition from untested soldier to respected general and statesman.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Surrender of Lee and the Assassination of Lincoln, April, 1865: An Exhibition of Historical Documents Commemorating the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary; April and May, 1940 No historical account is as vital and as realistic as that related by the men who made it. In these great documents we read the words written by the most important actors in the scenes they describe, written in times of great exhilaration, of depression, and of horror. This exhibition presents Abraham Lincoln, the great president who in his hour of triumph was assassinated; General Grant, the victorious. Soldier; his kindly and chivalrous opponent, Robert E. Lee; General Sherman, whose march through Georgia is among the most amazing in military annals; and other officials and officers of the Union and the Confederacy. The first item in the exhibition is a letter written by General Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces, to his col league, General Johnston, commanding the army farther south. It gives a valuable picture of the positions and the prospects of the Confederate Army in the last phase of the war. Already the strong strategical position of the Federal Army under Grant and the barely tenable supply routes of the Confederate Army were presaging the end, less than a month off. Lee in this letter, sent March 15, 1 865, from Petersburg, frankly states the disadvantages of his present position, the possibility of the fall of Richmond, and the hope that his line of communication with the South may be kept open. Here we have a picture of the final scene of the Petersburg Campaign, which ended in Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The manoeuvers of the Federal forces in their attempts to cut Lee's line of supply are clearly set forth in a series of letters which were scrawled in action by General Grant from his field headquarters during the last two weeks of the war. One, written to President Lincoln, tells of Sheridan's great success in the country southwest of Petersburg. During the closing days of the war Lincoln established himself for part of the time at the army head quarters at City Point, Virginia. From there he wrote a letter to Seward, his Secretary of State, forwarding the good news of Sheridan's advances. Under constant pressure Lee gave ground, and Grant was able to whittle down the comparatively small Con federate forces. He writes to General Meade on April zud, the day before Richmond fell, stating that his victories were continu ing. On April 5th he wrote to Sherman that, according to reports from Sheridan, Lee's army retreating to Danville was much de moralized, and ordered him to push on in the south to finish the job. The next day a telegram was sent to Sherman, the original copy which he received being in the collection, reading dramatically: We have Lee's army pressed hard, his men scatter ing and going to their homes by thousands. He is endeavoring to reach Danville where Jeff Davis and his Cabinet have gone. I shall press the pursuit to the end. And the end was coming closer.

Book excerpt: The Army of Northern Virginia's chaotic dispersal began even before Lee and Grant met at Appomattox Court House. As the Confederates had pushed west at a relentless pace for nearly a week, thousands of wounded and exhausted men fell out of the ranks. When word spread that Lee planned to surrender, most remaining troops stacked their arms and accepted paroles allowing them to return home, even as they lamented the loss of their country and cause. But others broke south and west, hoping to continue the fight. Fearing a guerrilla war, Grant extended the generous Appomattox terms to every rebel who would surrender himself. Provost marshals fanned out across Virginia and beyond, seeking nearly 18,000 of Lee's men who had yet to surrender. But the shock of Lincoln's assassination led Northern authorities to see threats of new rebellion in every rail depot and harbor where Confederates gathered for transport, even among those already paroled. While Federal troops struggled to keep order and sustain a fragile peace, their newly surrendered adversaries seethed with anger and confusion at the sight of Union troops occupying their towns and former slaves celebrating freedom. In this dramatic new history of the weeks and months after Appomattox, Caroline E. Janney reveals that Lee's surrender was less an ending than the start of an interregnum marked by military and political uncertainty, legal and logistical confusion, and continued outbursts of violence. Janney takes readers from the deliberations of government and military authorities to the ground-level experiences of common soldiers. Ultimately, what unfolds is the messy birth narrative of the Lost Cause, laying the groundwork for the defiant resilience of rebellion in the years that followed.
