Download or read book Letter to Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Manton Marble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter to Abraham Lincoln This reprint of Mr. Manton marble's letter to the late President of the United States is made entirely Without the author's knowledge, being undertaken at the instance and expense of gentlemen, two-thirds of whom do not belong to the political party with which Mr. Marble is connected, and who do not even enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance. As a frank, fearless and manly protest against a gross act of tyranny, it deserves to be read by the descendants of those men who forced a king of England to respect the rights and liberties of his people; as a calm, forcible and logical argument against oppression, it is worthy to be placed side by side with Mr. John Stuart Mill's essay on liberty; as a model of English composition, it is fit to be studied by all those who wish to use their native language courteously, but yet with the vigor which a righteous cause is so well calculated to give.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Memoriam, Major-General Joseph Hooker No memorial tablet can contain an appropriate record of the life, character, and services of Major-General Joseph Hooker. They deserve volume. Inscriptions suggest rather than narrate. This sketch must be something less than an inscription. Some men impress themselves on history through deeds accomplished; others, less fortunate, it may be, in their visible achievements, acquire renown by influence among their contemporaries and on posterity. History accepts the soldier to be great who, in campaigns and battles, was the victorious commander. Hooker was the leading spirit in battles where he did not command; he was the commander in campaigns history does not yet fully understand and will not accept as victorious. But Hooker Was A Great Soldier. The impress of his genius is stamped on the army in which he was reared and commissioned, and, through that army, on the country whose service was to him the highest duty. It is no detraction from the fame and honor justly due to his contemporaries to say that intrusion is not possible into the niche reserved for him. Living, he enjoyed the admiration of soldiers and of his countrymen; dead, his increasing renown fails to satisfy his surviving friends. Hooker's career, however, was not a complicated one. Like his nature, it was frank, open-hearted, and simple. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fighting Joe Hooker written by Walter H. Hebert and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I have placed you at the head of the Army of the Potomac. Of course I have done this upon what appear to me to be sufficient reasons. And yet I think it best for you to know that there are some things in regard to which, I am not quite satisfied with you.” With this opening sentence in a two-page letter from Abraham Lincoln, Union general Joseph Hooker (1814–79) gained a prominent place in Civil War history. Hooker assumed command of an army demoralized by defeat and diminished by desertion. Acting swiftly, the general reorganized his army, routed corruption among quartermasters, improved food and sanitation, and boosted morale by granting furloughs and amnesties. His hour of fame and the test of his military skill came in the May 1863 battle of Chancellorsville. It was one of the Union Army’s worst defeats; shortly thereafter Hooker’s resignation was accepted. This definitive biography of a man who could lead so brilliantly and yet fall so ignominiously remains the only full-length treatment of Hooker’s life. His renewal as an important commander in the western theater during the Chattanooga and Atlanta campaigns is discussed, as is his life before and after his Civil War military service.—Print Ed.

This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Hooker (November 13, 1814 - October 31, 1879) was a career United States Army officer, fought in the Mexican-American War, and was a major general in the Union Army during the Civil War. Although he served throughout the war, usually with distinction at places like Antietam and Atlanta, Hooker is best remembered for his loss to General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. After a clerical error in an early battle in the war, he was known as "Fighting" Joe Hooker. It was after firing Burnside in early 1863 that Lincoln put Fighting Joe Hooker in command of the Army of the Potomac, writing him a famous letter informing him of his promotion. But after Hooker lost at Chancellorsville, correspondence between the government and Hooker led to Hooker offering his resignation, which Lincoln accepted just days before the Battle of Gettysburg. The correspondence that led to Lincoln relieving Hooker of command was preserved in The War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. In one of the Battles & Leaders essays, an official in the Army of Potomac's camp, Charles Benjamin, explained the appointment and removal of Hooker. This edition of Hooker's Appointment and Removal is specially formatted with pictures of important commanders, and it also includes the correspondence that led to Lincoln relieving Hooker in the Official Records.
