Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly-amusing, unsentimental view of frontier army life in the 19th century, Harry McConnell's classic memoir of his years in the 6th United States Cavalry is a treasure for readers and historians alike.A Civil War veteran, McConnell hints at mysterious but unnamed reasons why he left his wife and child to join the U.S. Army and head to the Wild West (they joined him later). But with wit and clarity, he paints a picture of life in a rough regiment of men who mostly couldn't find occupation elsewhere but in the frontier army.Among the topics upon which he turns his wit are army procurement and record keeping, the cruelty and capriciousness of some officers, the official policies in force at the time toward Indians, and the simple life of staying alive in dangerous conditions, including under fire.But he also writes of the famous men he met, the heroic comrades with whom he served, and the great love he came to have for Texas. In all, it is a rollicking and exciting ride through a time and place that no longer exists.

This volume contains his exciting account of the Battle of Beecher Island in September, 1868. Forsyth commanded a tiny force pinned down on a sand bar in the Republican River for nine days against hundreds of Cheyenne warriors led by Roman Nose. Forsyth was badly wounded but stayed in command as men and horses fell around him. Earlier in his career, he had been an aide-de-camp to Major-General Phil Sheridan during the Civil War. He rode with Sheridan on his famous nighttime ride from Winchester to avert catastrophe at the Battle of Cedar Creek. That story is here, as well as Forsyth's memory of his presence at the surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse.

Download or read book Lincoln in the Telegraph Office Abridged Annotated written by David Homer Bates and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the amount of time that Abraham Lincoln spent in the telegraph office of the War Department next door to the White House, it is unfortunate that there are no photos of him there. But we have this fascinating account of his time there. During times of crisis, tension, and victory, Lincoln spent hours and hours in the company of his "boys" in that office. There are many Lincoln anecdotes you will not read anywhere else and they help to complete a view of this extraordinary president. David Bates was one of the boys. From 1861-1866 he was the manager of the War Department telegraph office and a cipher (code) operator. In this intimate and interesting book, first published in 1907, Bates relates what it was like working alongside Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton (Secretary of War). He also discusses the codes and methods used during the Civil War to transmit important messages. One of the unsung heroes of the American Civil War was Major Thomas Eckert, who was in charge of all military telegraphic operations. Greatly trusted by both Lincoln and War Secretary Stanton, Eckert was employed in many very important actions during the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Cavalryman of the Civil War After Fifty Years: 1861-1865 Preface. Ears ago at one of the reunions of the Ninth Ohio Cavalry it was voted that I should write a 'history of our regiment. I was so occupied in business then that I could not find time to comply with their wishes. Now that I have had sufficient time I have carried out their request. With the help of some of my old comrades, I have undertaken to dig through the accumulated memories of fifty years and record incidents, many of them commonplace enough to us then, but to which time has added a charm which warms our hearts to each other and to this dear land of ours.
