Book excerpt: A collection of 127 letters, consisting primarily of 115 manuscript personal letters written by Confederate States army captain Leonard Williams to his wife Anna Laval Williams during the Civil War. Williams, of Greenville, South Carolina, served in Hampton's Legion (1861-62) and in Co. K, 2nd South Carolina Cavalry (1862-1865). These letters range in date from 18-19 July 1861 to 11 February 1865, and provide a literate, lengthy, and relatively continuous epistolary narrative of Williams's wartime experiences. The letters also stand as one side of an ongoing dialogue with Anna on managing the Greenville household and farm, including the slaves. (During the war the mercantile store was overseen by Williams's business partner, William Whitmire, who is mentioned frequently in the letters). The most significant chronological gap in the letters to Anna occurs at war's end, as no manuscripts survive from the last few months of Williams's service. All the present letters from Williams to Anna were published by David G. Douglas in A Boot Full of Memories: Captain Leonard Williams, 2nd South Carolina Cavalry (Camden SC, 2003). Douglas is Leonard and Anna Williams's great grandson; the letters descended through the family to him. Notre Dame subsequently acquired all but six letters that appear in Douglas's book. Those lacking from the present collection are dated 29-30 August 1861; 6 June 1862; 12 June 1862; 8 June 1863; 30 June 1863; and 26-27 February 1864. Of the twelve letters in the collection not directed by Leonard Williams to Anna, Williams wrote four: two to his brother Henry Williams (16 May 1863 and 18 March 1864), one to an unidentified aunt (27 June 1864), and one to his slaves (22 August 1863). Six additional letters were directed to Anna Williams; two from Leonard's brother William A. Williams (30 December 1862 and 15 June 1864), two from Anna's cousin William R. Martin (25 January and 25 February 1862); one from an unidentified cousin (29 December 1861), and one from an acquaintance (28 July 1863). Neither author nor recipient of the two final letters (7 January 1864 and undated) can be identified.

Download or read book Cavalryman of the Lost Cause written by Jeffry D. Wert and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, this major biography of J.E.B. Stuart—the first in two decades—uses newly available documents to draw the fullest, most accurate portrait of the legendary Confederate cavalry commander ever published. • Major figure of American history: James Ewell Brown Stuart was the South’s most successful and most colorful cavalry commander during the Civil War. Like many who die young (Stuart was thirty-one when he succumbed to combat wounds), he has been romanticized and popular- ized. One of the best-known figures of the Civil War, J.E.B. Stuart is almost as important a figure in the Confederate pantheon as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. • Most comprehensive biography to date: Cavalryman of the Lost Cause is based on manuscripts and unpublished letters as well as the latest Civil War scholarship. Stuart’s childhood and family are scrutinized, as is his service in Kansas and on the frontier before the Civil War. The research in this biography makes it the authoritative work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part history, part biography, part social commentary, this fascinating book is about infamous events that shook New Zealand to its core. In 1865, Rev Carl Sylvius Volkner was hanged, his head cut off, his eyes eaten and his blood drunk from his church chalice. One name – Kereopa Te Rau (Kaiwhatu: The Eye-eater) – became synonymous with the murder. In 1871 he was captured, tried and sentenced to death. But then something remarkable happened. Sister Aubert and William Colenso — two of the greatest minds in colonial New Zealand — came to his defence. Regardless, Kereopa Te Rau was hanged in Napier Prison. But even a century and a half later, the events have not been laid to rest. Questions continue to emerge: Was it just? Was it right? Was Kereopa Te Rau even behind the murder? And who was Volkner – was he a spy or an innocent? In a personal quest, author Peter Wells travels back into an antipodean heart of darkness and illuminates how we try to make sense of the past, how we heal, remember - and forget.
