Book excerpt: Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack – 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. The brutal occupation of Baltimore in 1861 by the Federal troops under Benjamin “Beast” Butler, would be the final straw for many Confederate leaning Marylanders. One such was Harry Gilmor, imprisoned for his political beliefs and his service in the Baltimore County Horse Guards, he was determined to join the Southern forces. As soon as he was released from prison he travelled as fast as possible to join the troops under Colonel Turner Ashby; by March 1862 he was commissioned as a captain of the Twelfth Virginia Cavalry. He set to his task with a passion earning much glory fighting under Jackson in the Valley campaign, even being entrusted with special missions by the great general himself. His military star was on the rise and he began to gain a sterling reputation as a cavalry commander often employed in scouting, raids and ambushes. He was in action at the Battle of Brandy Station, in the Shenandoah Valley and led the famous “Raid Round Baltimore” in 1864. Despite all his cunning and daring the tide of war turned against him and his Confederate comrades and he was captured in February 1865 in Hardy County. As a successful Confederate raider the Federal press had heaped calumnies upon him and his men, so after the war he wrote these memoirs to set the record straight. A dashing read of a famous Confederate cavalry officer.

This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the charms of Charles Field's account of his time as a Union soldier in the American Civil War is its utter simplicity. He was a typical soldier, a non-commissioned officer, of limited education. His phrasing and misspellings, for some reason printed in the original manuscript, lend an authenticity to his stories. Field saw plenty of action, had hair-raising close calls, and lived to tell about it in this 1908 publication. After the war, he married, raised a family, and farmed in Illinois and Iowa. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Book excerpt: A FORGOTTEN TREASURE--CIVIL WAR IN THE SADDLE Just a boy when he enlisted in the Union cause, Walter Robbins was not quite 23 years old when he mustered out as a colonel (brevet brigadier general) after more than four years of war. It was an experience that shaped the rest of his life. Written for his grandchildren, this book was not intended for publication. Yet it brims with excitement and detailed accounts of participation in some of the most famous battles of the war. Robbins served in proximity to the Union's most prominent leaders, saw them in action, and was praised by them for his leadership. The 1st New Jersey Cavalry fought at Cedar Mountain, Fredericksburg, Brandy Station, Gettysburg, Hawe's Shop, and other battles right up to Appomattox. This is a long-lost and forgotten treasure of the great conflict that nearly destroyed the nation. Thoughtful, modest, and proud of his part in the cause, Walter Raleigh Robbins' memoir will interest every student of the Civil War.

Dixon being within about sixty miles of my home. I, in company with my brother, W. F. Reed, asked for a furlough. Our Captain urged our case for us but none could be obtained. He told me, however, to take my brother and go outside the lines at night and go home and when we received a letter from him we were to report immediately. After taps that night we went. Outside the lines and our elder brother met us in Dixon and we rode home with him, arriving there about P. M. The next day. We had only 48 hours stay before we received orders to report at once at a certain number on Randolph street, Chicago, which we regretfully complied with. This was made headquarters of the 'i3th Regiment, Illinois Cavalry, to which our company was assigned. The next day I, in comany with nine of my comrades, were ordered to re cruit within the limits of Chicago and thus help fill our company and regiment.

I recruited seven men during our stay on Randolph Street and in the two weeks of our stay our com pany increased from thirty to eighty men.
