Book excerpt: James S. Wadsworth was a successful lawyer and influential New York politician when the Civil War broke out. His wealth, strong anti-slavery views, and active support of President Lincoln made him a controversial public figure in the early war years. In 1863, he was given a field command and proved himself to be one of the Union's most able and daring commanders, although he died before the war ended. His battlefield boldness and righteous resolve to end slavery is, as former U.S. Congressman James W. Symington says, "a vivid reminder that our Civil War was, indeed, fought on moral grounds."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James S. Wadsworth of Geneseo: Brevet Major-General of United States Volunteers The documentary materials for writing the life of James S. Wadsworth are of the scantiest description. He was always a sparing letter-writer, and although during his service in the army he wrote regularly to members of his family, the letters have almost all, from one cause or another, sufiered destruction. The story of his work in the Civil War, therefore - what he did in camp, on the field of battle, as military governor, and in politics - must be traced in the printed records that deal with that time. Abundant as these are, it has often been only after long search that they have yielded up information about an individual who, in filling his proper place in the vast ma chinery Of the army, gave all his thoughts to the duties before him and none to the spreading of them before men.
