This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Soldier's Recollections Leaves From the Diary, of a Young Confederate, 1910: With an Oration on the Motives and Aims, of the Soldiers of the South Have set down in the pages that follow some of my experiences and observations during my ser vice with the Army of Northern Virginia, first as a private soldier, then as a staff officer, and finally as a chaplain in the field. I served in the ranks under Gen. Jos. E. Johnston and Gen. Thos. J. Jackson; as a staff officer under brigadier-gen. Geo. H. Steuart in the army of Gen. R. E. Lee; and as a chaplain in the Second Virginia Cavalry under Col. Thos. T. Munford, in the brigade of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. It has not been my purpose to write a history of the campaigns in which I took so humble a part, but simply to present a few pen and ink sketches of the life and experience of a Confederate soldier, in the hope that I may thereby contribute in some small degree to a better understanding of the spirit of the epoch both of the soldiers who fought the battles, and of the people on whose behalf they dared and suffered what they did.

Download or read book Writings of a Rebel Colonel written by Samuel Walkup and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyer, planter and politician Samuel Hoey Walkup (1818-1876) led the 48th North Carolina Infantry in the Civil War. A devout Christian and Whig nationalist, he opposed secession until hostilities were well underway, then became a die-hard Confederate, serving in the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days battles through Appomattox. Presenting Walkup's complete and annotated writings, this composite biography of an important but overlooked Southern leader reveals an insightful narrator of his times. Having been a pre-war civilian outside the West Point establishment, he offers a candid view of Confederate leadership, particularly Robert E. Lee and A.P. Hill. Home life with his wife Minnie Parmela Reece Price and the enslaved members of their household was a complex relationship of cooperation and resistance, congeniality and oppression. Walkup's story offers a cautionary account of misguided benevolence supporting profound racial oppression.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Soldier's Diary: The Story of a Volunteer; 1862-1865 This book is made up from my diary, which was sent home at frequent intervals, that my family and friends might know the details of my daily life. The events recorded were written down on the date of their occurrence, or while still fresh in my memory. In my comments on current events, I endeavored to Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice, but to give expression to my own convictions. I had no thought at the time, nor for many years after, of having it published, but, as the years sped on, and the old veterans of the Civil War were being rapidly mustered for final discharge, I have been urged by many old friends and comrades to publish it, that our children and grandchildren may realize something of the hardships and trials their ancestors cheerfully endured for love of country. I only regret that what I have tried to do has been so crudely done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Mama I Am yet Still Alive written by Jeff Toalson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-02-18 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil War studies normally focus on military battles, campaigns, generals and politicians, with the common Confederate soldiers and Southern civilians receiving only token mention. Using personal accounts from more than two hundred forty soldiers, farmers, clerks, nurses, sailors, farm girls, merchants, surgeons, chaplains and wives, author Jeff Toalson has created a compilation that is remarkable in its simplicity and stunning in its scope. These soldiers and civilians wrote remarkable letters and kept astonishing diaries and journals. They discuss disease, slavery, inflation, religion, desertion, blockade running, and their never-ending hope that the war would end before their loved ones died. A major portion of these documents were unpublished and were made available by the Brewer Library of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. With this, his third significant contribution to Civil War literature, Jeff Toalson joins the select company of Thomas W. Cutrer and Bell I. Wiley as historians who have devoted their body of work to preserving the voices of common Confederate soldiers and civilians.
Download or read book A Texan in Search of a Fight written by John C. West and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Texan in Search, of a Fight: Being the Diary and Letters of a Private Soldier in Hood's Texas Brigade By their smiles they inspired and encouraged the soldiers in the field. By their frowns and scorn they drove the laggards to the front. By their tears, their sympathy and their prayers they up held and stimulated the weak, the weary and the wounded. Their unfailing faith, their sublime devotion to truth were not surpassed by the glorious heroism of the noble women whose names sanctify and adorn the history of ages past. Their sacrifices, their toils, their fidelity, their sufferings entitle them to the love, admiration and gratitude Of pos terity, which ought to be demonstrated by the erection of a shining shaft Of marble - white, pure and chaste-whose apex shall kiss the clouds. The following pages were put in type-written form in 1897. Until that time I had not seen the originals for thirty-four years. The manuscript has been read by persons Of ability, learning and intelligence. Many Of them said it was valuable and ought to be published. I had never thought of this. It was intended only for convenient use among my family and immediate friends. Re quests and suggestions for its publication have recently been renewed. With hesitation I have consented. The questions of taste, delicacy and propriety of publishing private matter have been considered and discussed. The conclusion is that it should be printed and issued, word for word, as it was originally written thirty-eight years ago. Otherwise it would not be what the writer wrote and thought in those dark, historic days. It is not fiction. It is fact. Under the head of Addenda, I have added The Story Of a Blanket, by request. Also a Speech made at mcgregor' in 1897. The Diary and the speech illustrate, respectively, the Confederate soldier of 1863 and the reconstructed citizen Of 1897. J. C. W.
