Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Maine Heavy Artillery, 1862-1865: A History of Its Part and Place in the War for the Union, With an Outline of Causes of War and Its Results to Our Country Regiment and its members in their proper place in the history of our country. The First Maine Heavy Artillery, formerly the 18th Maine Infantry, made for itself a record it did not seek. It stands recorded as the Regiment that lost more men, killed and wounded in battle, and the largest percentage of losses in battle, and it also lost a larger number of men in a single battle than any regiment in the United States service in any war. The object of this work is to record for the survivors and their friends a brief View of the growth of our con ict, the enormous pro portions of the struggle in which we were engaged, the great army organization of which we formed a part, the battles and marches in which we participated, and the results achieved. The author has endeavored to outline brie y the glorious results to our country and its people of the unity, freedom and power we now enjoy. Very many of the comrades have contributed to the work. While all their valuable letters and papers could not be put in print by themselves, the author has endeavored to condense and put into the subject matter of which he has written all the important facts in their narrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An outstanding read for anyone interested in the Civil War and Gettysburg in particular . . . innovative and thoughtful ideas on seemingly well-covered events.” —The NYMAS Review The largest land battle on the North American continent has maintained an unshakable grip on the American imagination. Building on momentum from a string of victories that stretched back into the summer of 1862, Robert E. Lee launched his Confederate Army of Northern Virginia on an invasion of the North meant to shake Union resolve and fundamentally shift the dynamic of the war. His counterpart with the Federal Army of the Potomac, George Meade, elevated to command just days before the fighting, found himself defending his home state in a high-stakes battle that could have put Confederates at the very gates of the nation’s capital. The public historians writing for the popular Emerging Civil War blog, speaking on its podcast, or delivering talks at the annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge in Virginia always present their work in ways that engage and animate audiences. Their efforts entertain, challenge, and sometimes provoke readers with fresh perspectives and insights born from years of working on battlefields, guiding tours, presenting talks, and writing for the wider Civil War community. The Summer of ’63: Gettysburg is a compilation of some of their favorites, anthologized, revised, and updated, together with several original pieces. Each entry includes original and helpful illustrations. Along with its companion volume The Summer of ’63: Vicksburg and Tullahoma, this important study contextualizes the major 1863 campaigns in what was arguably the Civil War’s turning-point summer.

Download or read book The First Maine Heavy Artillery 1862 1865 written by Charles House and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographic reproduction of the original edition of 1903. A quote from inside.:"Between the muster in at Bangor, August 21, 1862, and the last gun at Appomattox, April 9, 1865, the rolls of the First Maine Heavy Artillery bore the names of 2,200 men, of whom 441 were killed in action or died of wounds; 922 were wounded and 215 died of disease... The forgoing figures mean that one-fifth of the number of men enrolled in the First Maine Heavy Artillery died of battle. They mean that after those dying of battle and of disease are taken from the total enrolled, 60 of every hundred of the survivors bore the marks of battle when the war ended, They mean that 1,363 men of the 2,200 were killed in or bore the scars of battle. They mean that 62 of every 100 men of the total 2,200 were killed or battle-marked." The authors have gone to a great deal of trouble to list detailed information about every soldier wounded or killed in battle, listed battle by battle, or who died from disease. The history is also unusual in beginning with about seventy pages of historical background to the conflict - starting with the European settlement of North America (!); perhaps they felt a particular need to make try to sense of the conflict that cost so many of them their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important contribution to Civil War scholarship, offering an engrossing portrait of these important campaigns . . . this reviewer recommends it highly.” —NYMAS Review The fall of Vicksburg in July 1863 fundamentally changed the strategic picture of the American Civil War, though its outcome had been anything but certain. Union general Ulysses S. Grant tried for months to capture the Confederate Mississippi River bastion, to no avail. A bold running of the river batteries, followed by a daring river crossing and audacious overland campaign, finally allowed Grant to pen the Southern army inside the entrenched city. The long and gritty siege that followed led to the fall of the city, the opening of the Mississippi to Union traffic, and a severance of the Confederacy in two. In Tennessee, meanwhile, the Union Army of the Cumberland brilliantly recaptured thousands of square miles while sustaining fewer than six hundred casualties. Commander William Rosecrans worried the North would “overlook so great an event because it is not written in letters of blood”—and history proved him right. The Tullahoma campaign has stood nearly forgotten compared to events along the Mississippi and in south-central Pennsylvania, yet all three major Union armies scored significant victories that helped bring the war closer to an end. The public historians writing for the popular Emerging Civil War blog, speaking on its podcast, or delivering talks at its annual Emerging Civil War Symposium in Virginia always present their work in ways that engage and animate audiences. Their efforts entertain, challenge, and sometimes provoke with fresh perspectives and insights born from years of working at battlefields, guiding tours, and writing for the wider Civil War community. The Summer of ’63: Vicksburg and Tullahoma is a compilation of some of their favorites, anthologized, revised, and updated, together with several original pieces. Each entry includes helpful illustrations. This important study, when read with its companion volume The Summer of ’63: Gettysburg, contextualizes the major 1863 campaigns in what arguably was the Civil War’s turning-point summer.

Download or read book Grant s Left Hook written by Sean Chick and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the series of American Civil War battles fought at a town outside of Richmond, Virginia. Robert E. Lee feared the day the Union army would return up the James River and invest the Confederate capital of Richmond. In the spring of 1864, Ulysses Grant, looking for a way to weaken Lee, was about to exploit the Confederate commander’s greatest fear and weakness. After two years of futile offensives in Virginia, the Union commander set the stage for a campaign that could decide the war. Grant sent the 38,000-man Army of the James to Bermuda Hundred, to threaten and possibly take Richmond, or at least pin down troops that could reinforce Lee. Jefferson Davis, in desperate need of a capable commander, turned to the Confederacy’s first hero: Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. Butler’s 1862 occupation of New Orleans had infuriated the South, but no one more than Beauregard, a New Orleans native. This campaign would be personal. In the hot weeks of May 1864, Butler and Beauregard fought a series of skirmishes and battles to decide the fate of Richmond and Lee’s army. Historian Sean Michael Chick analyzes and explains the plans, events, and repercussions of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign in Grant’s Left Hook: The Bermuda Hundred Campaign, May 5-June 7, 1864. The book contains hundreds of photographs, new maps, and a fresh consideration of Grant’s Virginia strategy and the generalship of Butler and Beauregard. The book is also filled with anecdotes and impressions from the rank and file who wore blue and gray. Praise for Grant’s Left Hook “A superb installment . . . one of the best books in the ECW series (easily rating among the top handful in this reviewer’s estimation). Sean Chick’s Grant’s Left Hook is highly recommended reading.” —Civil War Books and Authors “An excellent, very informative book about one of the least understood campaigns of the Civil War . . . also quite readable, and is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the great conflict, and particularly for those who like tramping across battlefields.” —The NYMAS Review
