Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil War Record of Brown University The compiler of this Record, early in 1868, published a volume of three hundred and eighty pages entitled Brown University in the Civil War. In it were included biographies of twenty-one of the graduates and non-graduates of the University who died in that war, and also the record of the two hundred and ninety-four of the graduates and non-graduates who served in the Union army or navy in the Civil War period. In the Brown Alumni Monthly for April, 1915, attention was called to a noteworthy gift received by the Library of the University from Mr. Bertram Smith, of Berkeley, California (class of 1910). It was a typewritten compilation, covering one hundred pages, containing references to Brown University graduates and non-graduates in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies in the Civil War - that monumental work comprising one hundred and thirty volumes, published under the direction of successive Secretaries of War until its completion under Secretary Elihu Root in 1901. It was a happy thought that led Mr. Smith (even with the aid of the invaluable index volume of 1242 pages, recording every name in these one hundred and thirty volumes) to make the extended search which his plan required. As Mr. Smith remarked in his introduction, the material thus secured added little to what was already known concerning the services of Brown University graduates and non-graduates in the Civil War.

Download or read book Civil War Biographies from the Western Waters written by Myron J. Smith, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1861 to 1865, the Civil War raged along the great rivers of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. While various Civil War biographies exist, none have been devoted exclusively to participants in the Western river war as waged down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River, and up the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. Based on the Official Records, county histories, newspapers and internet sources, this is the first work to profile personnel involved in the fighting on these great streams. Included in this biographical encyclopedia are Union and Confederate naval officers down to the rank of mate; enlisted sailors who won the Medal of Honor, or otherwise distinguished themselves or who wrote accounts of life on the gunboats; army officers and leaders who played a direct role in combat along Western waters; political officials who influenced river operations; civilian steamboat captains and pilots who participated in wartime logistics; and civilian contractors directly involved, including shipbuilders, dam builders, naval constructors and munitions experts. Each of the biographies includes (where known) birth, death and residence data; unit organization or ship; involvement in the river war; pre- and post-war careers; and source documentation. Hundreds of individuals are given their first historic recognition.

Download or read book The Civil War in Books written by David J. Eicher and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the assistance of several scholars, including James M. McPherson and Gary Gallagher, and a long-time specialist in Civil War books, Ralph Newman, David Eicher has selected for inclusion in The Civil War in Books the 1,100 most important books on the war. These are organized into categories as wide-ranging as "Battles and Campaigns," "Biographies, Memoirs, and Letters," "Unit Histories," and "General Works." The last of these includes volumes on black Americans and the war, battlefields, fiction, pictorial works, politics, prisons, railroads, and a host of other topics. Annotations are included for all entries in the work, which is presented in an oversized 8 1/2 x 11 inch volume in two-column format. Appendixes list "prolific" Civil War publishers and other Civil War bibliographies, and the works included in Eicher's mammoth undertaking are indexed by author or editor and by title. Gary Gallagher's foreword traces the development of Civil War bibliographies and declares that Eicher's annotation exceeds that of any previous comprehensive volume. The Civil War in Books, Gallagher believes, is "precisely the type of guide" that has been needed. The first full-scale, fully-annotated bibliography on the Civil War to appear in more than thirty years, Eicher's The Civil War in Books is a remarkable compendium of the best reading available about the worst conflict ever to strike the United States. The bibliography, the most valuable reference book on the subject since The Civil War Day by Day, will be essential for college and university libraries, dealers in rare and secondhand books, and Civil War buffs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown University in the War: A Report by the War Records Committee, Including a Statement of the War Work of the University, the Biographies of Brown Men Who Died in Service, and a Directory of the Military Service of Alumni, Former Students and Undergraduates The War Records of the individual Brown graduates and former students represent the careful accumulation of over two years. Every possible source of information has been employed. And yet the task is, by its very nature, one which precludes accuracy. Those who have had one friend in service will remember the difficulty of following that friend through the many sudden transfers and movements which the military necessity made urgent. The problem of the War Records is that difficulty multiplied two thousand times. Notices of corrections or additions to the present records should be sent to the Editor at once on the form which will be found on page 43. Because the present publication is a directory of military and-naval service only it has been necessary to adopt the following definition of that service, formulated at an intercollegiate meeting on the subject at New Haven, on May 10, 1918.

This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, African American war correspondent Thomas Morris Chester was so inspired by the men of the 36th United States Colored Troops that he declared the group to be "a model regiment." Composed primarily of former slaves recruited from Union-occupied areas of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, the 36th USCT participated in large-scale expeditions to liberate slaves, guarded Confederate prisoners at major POW camps, served in the trenches before Petersburg and Richmond, and stood as one of the first units to enter the abandoned Confederate capital on April 3, 1865. This volume, which includes a complete regimental roster, explores the background of these former slaves and their families, examines their initial recruitment and chronicles their military contributions throughout the war. More than a unit history, the story of the 36th USCT offers a vivid portrait of the challenging transition from slavery to freedom.

On March 1, 1915, the committee requested Mr. William V. Kellen, 72, to edit this record.

Download or read book The Fight for the Yazoo August 1862 July 1864 written by Myron J. Smith, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the loss of the CSS Arkansas in early August 1862, Union and Confederate eyes turned to the Yazoo River, which formed the developing northern flank for the South's fortress at Vicksburg, Mississippi. For much of the next year, Federal efforts to capture the citadel focused on possession of that stream. Huge battles and mighty expeditions were launched (Chickasaw Bayou, Yazoo Pass, Steele's Bayou) from that direction, but the city, guarded by stout defenses, swamps, and motivated defenders, could not be turned. Finally, Union troops ran down the Mississippi and came up from the south and the river defenses and the bastion itself were taken from the east. From July 1863 to August 1864, sporadic Confederate resistance necessitated continued Federal attention. This book recounts the whole story.
