Download or read book Civil War Sourcebook written by Michael W Nance and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of Morgan County, Tennessee in the Civil War has received marginal attention for more than 150 years, likely because there were no significant battles fought within the county. However, Morgan County was a microcosm of the broader struggles experienced in East Tennessee during the war by both citizens and the military. It was here that the Confederates established Camp Schooler to exercise harsh control of the county's pro-Union population. It was here that General Ambrose Burnside's 23rd Corps of the Army of Ohio first fully assembled as they began their Union campaign to take control of East Tennessee. Through hundreds of hours of research, Terry and Michael have compiled the most complete records that characterize the Civil War and its aftermath in Morgan County. The book includes official records of the U.S. Government, relevant extracts from diaries and books written by soldiers about their experiences in Morgan County, newspaper accounts, war-related civilian court cases, and civilian claims against the government. Lastly, records related to notorious Confederate marauder Champ Ferguson, whose men brutally murdered prominent Morgan Countian Benjamin "Tolliver" Staples, are included. Whether you are a history buff or Civil War author, you will find this compilation of records to be a real treasure.

Download or read book A War of the People written by Jeffrey D. Marshall and published by UPNE. This book was released on 1999 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War left no Vermonters untouched, and few families free from pain. More than 140 letters -- carefully selected from some 9000 in several archives -- convey in personal terms the combat experience of Vermonters throughout the war. Vermont raised seventeen infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, three batteries of light artillery and three companies of sharpshooters -- nearly 35,000 soldiers in all. As a result of this impressive commitment, Vermont suffered one of the highest rates of military deaths of any Union state. A War of the People covers the war chronologically, with editor Jeffrey D. Marshall providing running commentary on both the war overall, and Vermonters' experiences. Supplemented with maps and photographs, it includes many voices -- from privates to colonels, mothers, wives, and best friends, young and old -- writing about battle narratives, camp life, financial advice, family matters, and much more. An African-American soldier from Hinesburgh, a French-Canadian soldier who enlisted in Milton, and dozens of others record their experiences in unforgettable words. Marshall's battlefront/homefront choice of letters provides a deeper understanding of the social and political dimensions that, although secondary to military concerns, were an integral part of Vermont's war years.
