Book excerpt: The history of the Nineteenth Army Corps, like that of by far the greater number of the organizations of like character, in which were arrayed the great armies of volunteers that took up arms to maintain the Union, is properly the history of all the troops that at any time belonged to the corps or served within its geographical limits.To be complete, then, the narrative my comrades have asked me to write must go back to the earliest service of these troops, at a period before the corps itself was formally established, and must continue on past the time when the earlier territorial organization became merged or lost and the main body of the corps was sent into the Shenandoah, down to the peace, and the final muster of the last regiment.If hitherto less known and thus less considered than the proud record of those great corps of the Armies of the Potomac, of the Tennessee, and of the Cumberland, on whom in the fortune of war fell the heat and burthen of so many pitched battles, whose colors bear the names of so many decisive victories, yet the story of the Nineteenth Army Corps is one whose simple facts suffice for all that need to told or claimed of valor, of achievement, of sacrifice, or of patient endurance. I shall, therefore, attempt neither eulogy nor apology, nor shall I feel called upon to undertake to criticise the actions or the failures of the living or the dead, save where such criticism may prove to be an essential part of the narrative. From the brows of other soldiers, no one of us could ever wish to pluck the wreaths so dearly won, so honorably worn; yet, since the laurel grows wild on every hill-side in this favored land, we may without trespass be permitted to gather a single spray or two to decorate the sacred places where beneath the cypresses and the magnolias of the lowlands of Louisiana, or under the green turf among the mountains of Virginia, reposes all that was mortal of so many thousands of our brave and beloved comrades.This volume contains no illustrations

THE NINETEENTH ARMY CORPS. CHAPTER I. NEW ORLEANS. The opening of the Mississippi and the capture of New Orleans formed important parts of the first comprehensive plan of campaign, conceived and proposed by Lieutenant-General Scott soon after the outbreak of the war. When McClellan was called to Washington to command the Army of the Potomac, one of his earliest communications to the President set forth in general terms his plans for the suppression of the Rebellion. Of these plans, also, the capture of New Orleans formed an integral and important part. Both Scott and McClellan contemplated a movement down the river by a strong column. However nothing had been done by either toward carrying out this project, when, in September, 1861, the Navy Department took up the idea of an attack on New Orleans from the sea. At the time of the secession of Louisiana, New Orleans was not only the first city in wealth, population, and importance in the seceded States, but the sixth in all the Union. With a population of nearly 170,000 souls, she carried on an export trade larger than that of any other port in the country, and enjoyed a commerce in magnitude and profit second only to that of New York. The year just ended had witnessed the production of the largest crop of cotton ever grown in America, fully two fifths of which passed through the presses and paid toll to the factors of New Orleans....

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Biddle Irwin relays the history of the famous XIX Corps, a unit in the Union Army famed for its successes and daring during the American Civil War. This edition includes the original battlefield maps. A series of daring victories swiftly established the special reputation of the Nineteenth. At the height of their prowess, the company demonstrated great martial skill during the Siege of Port Hudson and in Shenandoah Valley. Notably, the Nineteenth had a large contingent of black soldiers; many performed with particular bravery and finesse in combat, and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks - to whom the unit was first attached - gave due praise. After they were raised in New Orleans, the Nineteenth Corps were set to skirmish in the rough, boggy terrain of rural Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Harsher than the northerly lands, it was here that they cut their teeth, polished their skills and gained a certain edge over their counterparts stationed in easier climes. After a few months they were set to besiege Port Hudson; a lengthy process that helped hone the troop's patience, appreciation for sound strategy and capacity for valiance. After the eventual surrender of the Port, the Nineteenth was enrolled in the Union initiative known as the Red River Campaign. Though a failure owing to poor strategy and conflict between those in high command, the Nineteenth fought bravely. Losing many of their number but inflicting casualties the Confederates could ill afford, the Nineteenth eventually retreated and were stationed in Savannah, Georgia. Perhaps the most famous association the XIX Corps has today is with General Sheridan at the Third Battle of Winchester. A fierce conflict that took many lives, officers and troopers alike suffered badly. However, historians including Irwin view this as a crucial turning point - the Nineteenth's valiance in the face of such carnage was distinctive. Irwin's accounts are thorough and meticulous, yet he never loses sight of the dramatic and exciting nature of the subject. He takes us through the journey of the Nineteenth from a raw, inexperienced unit into a force of fierce, disciplined and tactically adept veterans. This edition contains his original battlefield maps and charts.
