Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Years With Morgan and Forrest I have described my thirteen thrilling escapes from the Yankees-seven times from prison walls, and six times on my way to prison; also, in a brief manner, my service in Mexico with General Joe Shelby, my short service there under the French General Dupin, the contre guerrilla commander, and under Prince Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, adding a short romance and an account of two duels while there. There will be found an account of a certain interview between General Sheldon, the honorable secretary of war for the Confederacy, and Captain Charles Quantrell; of the causes that led to the various organizations of guerillas in the various border states, and also of the Home Guards. The career of my brother, Captain Berry, appears in the record of his service in the army, and as a recruiting officer, and in the story of his surrender and parole, his re-arrest, trial and sentence to death, and his commutation of sentence by the president to ten years' solitary confinement in a prison at Albany, New York. All these incidents are simple facts of personal experiences during my service in the Confederate Army. There may be persons, perhaps, who will doubt some of these statements. Nevertheless, the facts remain. In writing these reminiscences it was not my purpose to engender strife or to wound any person's feelings, but solely to enlighten my fellow men upon one of the many phases of our civil struggle, and to explain some of the elements that were floated to the surface by this upheaval - phenomena largely due to our institutions and their abuses. I harbor no belligerent feelings toward individuals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

XIII BACK IN THE REGULAR ARMY "The Buell-Bragg races"--My brother and I each recruit a company--Spirit of the Nelson sisters--My brother and I join our companies and join Morgan's command--I again meet Miss Sallie--On the scout as we withdraw from Cincinnati-- Seven men capture seventy--Preparing to leave Kentucky. General Bragg's and General Buell's armies were now in Kentucky. Each marching along parallel lines, their objective point being Louisville. It was a question which should reach that place first. Bragg's soldiers dubbed this march through Kentucky, "The Buell-- Bragg races." They were so eager to reach the goal ot their hopes, the blue grass region, that they could hardly wait for its consummation. It was said and was believed by some that these generals met and discussed plans to avoid a collision between the forces. It was known that they were brothers-in-law. This fact gave color to such reports. Both were putting forth all their energies to accelerate the advance. Gen. Kirby Smith had fought and won a battle at Richmond, Kentucky, and was pushing his victorious columns towards Covington and Cincinnati. He had occupied Lexington and Frankfort and his men were in high spirits and all looked forward with sanguine hopes to a glorious campaign and certain victory. With another victory added to our laurels, Kentucky would be occupied by the Southern armies, which would in turn invade the North, as their armies had the South. RECRUITING 125 "One-Armed" Berry, having defeated his enemies, set about recruiting his own company, which had suffered severe losses. We were both wounded. This was the second time he had been wounded and the sixth for me. Our object was for each to recruit a company, be ready for service when we should...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'remarkable war story' -- Tulsa World Col. Thomas F. Berry kept a diary throughout his service in the Confederate Army, under Generals Morgan and Forrest. Once the Civil War came to a close he decided to publish this diary in full, to instruct future generations of the true history of the Confederate struggle in the South, and the bloody and vicious battles that occurred. Berry's experiences are thrilling and colorful. He was captured by Yankee soldiers on no less than thirteen occasions - and on each one he managed a daring and ingenious escape. Wounded in several battles, he was twice told his leg would need to be amputated, but he refused, knowing he could not live without being able to fight for the cause he believed in. Berry narrated his experiences with famous figures such as Captain Charles Quantrell, and the outlaw Jesse James, as well as attempting to correct the, what he calls, slanderous misconceptions about his brother, Captain Samuel 'One-Arm' Berry. Berry's memoir is full of daring escapades, blood-thirsty skirmishes, and near-death experiences. It is a thrilling account of life on the front-line during the American Civil War, and will be of interest to historians and enthusiasts of the period alike. Thomas Franklin Berry survived the war, and died in 1917 at the grand age of 85. After the war, he became surgeon general of the Oklahoma division of the United Confederate veterans, and in 1913 he published his memoirs, Four Years with Morgan and Forrest.

Download or read book Skid Road written by Murray Morgan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skid Road tells the story of Seattle “from the bottom up,” offering an informal and engaging portrait of the Emerald City’s first century, as seen through the lives of some of its most colorful citizens. With his trademark combination of deep local knowledge, precision, and wit, Murray Morgan traces the city’s history from its earliest days as a hacked-from-the-wilderness timber town, touching on local tribes, settlers, the lumber and railroad industries, the great fire of 1889, the Alaska gold rush, flourishing dens of vice, the 1919 general strike, the 1962 World’s Fair, and the stuttering growth of the 1970s and ’80s. Through it all, Morgan shows us that Seattle’s one constant is change and that its penchant for reinvention has always been fueled by creative, if sometimes unorthodox, residents. With a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic Mary Ann Gwinn, this redesigned edition of Murray Morgan’s classic work is a must for those interested in how Seattle got to where it is today.

Download or read book Rebel Raider written by James A. Ramage and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1986 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full biography of the famous Confederate cavalry leader from Kentucky. It provides fresh, unpublished information on all aspects of Morgan's life and furnishes a new perspective on the Civil War. In a highly original interpretation, Ramage portrays Morgan as a revolutionary guerrilla chief. Using the tactics of guerrilla war and making his own rules, Morgan terrorized federal provost marshals in an independent campaign to protect Confederate sympathizers in Kentucky. He killed pickets and used the enemy uniform as a disguise, frequently masquerading as a Union officer. Employing civilians in the fighting, he set off a cycle of escalating violence which culminated in an unauthorized policy of retaliation by his command on the property of Union civilians. To many southerners, Morgan became the prime model of a popular movement for guerrilla warfare that led to the Partisan Ranger Act. For Confederates he was the ideal romantic cavalier, the "Francis Marion of the War," and they make him a folk hero who was especially adored by women. Discerning fact from folklore, Ramage describes Morgan's strengths and weaknesses and suggests that excessive dependence on his war bride contributed to his declining success. The author throws new light on the Indiana-Ohio Raid and the suspenseful escape from the Ohio Penitentiary and unravels the mysteries around Morgan's death in Greeneville, Tennessee. Rebel Raider also shows how in the popular mind John Hunt Morgan was deified as a symbol of the Lost Cause.
