Download or read book Guide to Missouri Confederate Units 1861 1865 written by James E. McGhee and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the origins and history of Missouri Confederate units that served during the Civil War is nearly as difficult as comprehending the diverse politics that produced them. Deeply torn by the issues that caused the conflict, some Missourians chose sides enthusiastically, others reluctantly, while a number had to choose out of sheer necessity, for fence straddling held no sway in the state after the fighting began. The several thousand that sided with the Confederacy formed a variety of military organizations, some earning reputations for hard fighting exceeded by few other states, North or South. Unfortunately, the records of Missouri's Confederate units have not been adequately preserved—officially or otherwise—until now. James E. McGhee is a highly respected and widely published authority on the Civil War in Missouri; the scope of this book is startling, the depth of detail gratifying, its reliability undeniable, and the unit narratives highly readable. McGhee presents accounts of the sixty-nine artillery, cavalry, and infantry units in the state, as well as their precedent units and those that failed to complete their organization. Relying heavily on primary sources, such as rosters, official reports, order books, letters, diaries, and memoirs, he weaves diverse materials into concise narratives of each of Missouri's Confederate organizations. He lists the field-grade officers for battalions and regiments, companies and company commanders, and places of origin for each company when known. In addition to listing all the commanding officers in each unit, he includes a bibliography germane to the unit, while a supplemental bibliography provides the other sources used in preparing this unique and comprehensive resource.

Download or read book Traveled Through a Fine Country written by Henry Brockman and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Brockman was born February 1, 1824, in Barren County, Kentucky, the son of John and Nancy Elmore Brockman. The family moved to Miller County, Missouri, while Henry was still young. He married Elizabeth Castleman in March 1852, and the couple had nine children. Brockman was an active member of the church, serving as deacon, and an active Mason. Brockman joined the Confederate States Army (CSA) in July of 1862. He enlisted as a First Lieutenant, but soon became Captain of Company K, Tenth Infantry Regiment, Second Missouri Brigade, also known as "Parson's Brigade." The unit participated in battles at Prairie Grove, Helena, and Little Rock, in addition to numerous skirmishes in south Arkansas. They fought in battles in Pleasant Hill and Mansfield in Louisiana. Away on medical leave after being wounded at the Battle of Mansfield, Brockman missed the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry, but he rejoined the men near Camden, Arkansas, where they camped during the winter of 1864-65. Brockman's unit surrendered at Shreveport, Louisiana, in the spring of 1865. During his tour of duty he was instrumental in the creation of a roaming Masonic lodge which was ordained by the Grand Lodge of Arkansas and travelled with the brigade.After the war, Brockman returned home to Miller County, Missouri, where he taught school for a short time before moving his family to Star City in Lincoln County, Arkansas, where some of his descendants still reside today. He died July 27, 1881, and is buried in Butler/Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Lincoln County, Arkansas.Henry Brockman's Civil War journal has been preserved by the Arkansas History Commission for more than one hundred years. The following text is an attempt at an accurate transcription of that journal, allowing Brockman to tell the story of the war in his own words. Parts of the journal were difficult to read, so naturally, some errors are to be expected. Quoted text is presented in italics, while dates of the entries are not in italics, since they have been standardized to increase understanding of the content. No changes have been made in spelling to Brockman's writings, but many dashes have been added for clarity. Researchers should consult the original journal before quoting for publication.

Download or read book The Confederate Army 1861 65 4 written by Ron Field and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite modern perceptions of the overwhelming image of Confederate soldiers dressed in their classic battledress gray, the Southern states of the Confederacy fielded many units of volunteer troops wearing a remarkably wide variety of uniforms, often reflecting foreign influences. In a spirit of independence many states also issued their own uniform regulations on the outbreak of the War Between the States; and these non-standard uniforms were often retained until well into the course of the Civil War (1861-1865). The regulation patterns centrally prescribed by the Confederate Army were only ever followed unevenly, and state quartermasters continued to issue uniforms showing regional and state differences. This fourth of a series of six titles studies the archival and pictorial evidence for the infantry, cavalry and artillery of Virginia - the heart of the Confederacy and its richest, most populous and militarily strongest state; and of Arkansas, which despite its much smaller population, fielded several interesting units. The expert text, which draws extensively on contemporary documents, is illustrated largely with fascinating early photographic portraits showing the haunting faces of the young soldiers caught up in the horror of war and classic color artwork recreations of their uniforms.

Download or read book Confederate Women of Arkansas in the Civil War written by The United Confederate Veterans and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the Union soldiers who experienced the wrath of Southern women during the American Civil War came away feeling that fighting the Southern men was a more appealing proposition. General William Tecumseh Sherman said, “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years." The great value of the present volume is that it was not written for an audience outside the unreconstructed south. Even after forty years, the embers of bitterness and defense of the "Lost Cause" echo in these uncensored pages. Yet it's not all vitriol and horror. Included are stories of great humor and a remembrance of Ulysses S. Grant's kindness to a wounded rebel son. These are the women who lived through the pain and suffering of the Civil War in the South, some privileged and some...just folks. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
