Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of General George Gordon Meade, Commander of the Army of the Potomac It becomes necessary for me, for self-protection, in writing this memoir, to include a statement without which I should place myself in a false position, through omitting mention of action over which I had no control. When, some years ago, I wrote the article, George Gordon Meade and Family, for Appleton's Cyclopedia, an interpolation, unauthorized by me, was made in it regarding the battle of Gettysburg, including the statement that General Meade had neglected to occupy Little Round Top. As I was not in any way responsible for this interpolation, I repudiated it as soon as it came to my knowledge, upon which the Messrs. Appleton promised that in future editions of the Cyclopaedia my name as the author of the article should be omitted. I have therefore since then regarded the matter as finally closed, and here make mention of it only for the imperative reason assigned. Lest a doubt may arise in the minds of some persons as to whether recollections which revert to seven years of age are trustworthy, it should be remarked that that depends upon idiosyncrasy. Records show that, in certain cases, accurate memory of events of a simple order has reached three or four years anterior to the period mentioned. I know a person who, when a boy of five years of age, was carried one night to a window, whence he was shown the aurora-borealis, which, in after years, he declared, amid the jeers of his companions, to have been pink. He grew up, however, to learn from scientific statistics that his percep tion had not been at fault, for the aurora of the date cor responding with his age at that time is noted as pink. I shall not therefore shrink, when I could add to this mention of the early recollections of John Stuart Mill and others, from speaking with confidence of things which first ap peared upon my mental horizon at seven years of age.

Download or read book George Gordon Meade and the War in the East written by Ethan Sepp Rafuse and published by Civil War Campaigns & Commande. This book was released on 2003 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though he defeated Robert E. Lee in the Civil War's greatest battle, George Gordon Meade has never enjoyed a prominent place in the pantheon of Union war heroes. To most students of the Civil War, he is merely the man who was lucky enough to benefit from Confederate mistakes at Gettysburg, but whose shortcomings as a commander compelled Abraham Lincoln to bring in Ulysses S. Grant from the West to achieve victory. In this, the first book-length study of the general to appear in a generation, Ethan S. Rafuse challenges the notion that Meade was simply the last in a long line of failed Union commanders in the East. Instead, George Gordon Meade and the War in the East offers a balanced, informative, and complete, yet concise, reconsideration of the general's life and career. It also provides keen analysis of the military and political factors that shaped operations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and delineates the sources of tension between Washington and the Army of the Potomac high command that played such an important role in shaping the war in the Eastern Theater. This study will appeal to anyone with an interest in Meade and the politics of command in the Civil War, and encourage reconsideration of traditional interpretations of the Union war effort in the East.

This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is high time that dispute should cease as to the award due him who won the greatest battle of the war, upon which it turned, saving the nation's capital, and giving to the Rebellion a blow from which it never recovered...it remains for history to record that, from the beginning to the end of the Rebellion, it was only when Meade was chief that Lee was ever met in pitched battle and defeated on equal terms." Called in the dead of night to General Hooker's headquarters, George Meade thought he might be heading to be relieved of command or arrested. Instead, he emerged from Hooker's tent and told his aide "Well, I am in command of the Army of the Potomac." And he was headed for Gettysburg. Meade spent the rest of his life defending his actions at Gettysburg. His skillful deployment and management of the command at that battlefield was a major Union victory and the turning point of the war. In this second volume of his letters, his son and grandson present a narrative, letters to and from Meade, and letters from other participants in the battle that corroborate Meade's rightful position as the hero of Gettysburg. No study of the American Civil War is complete without this two-volume set. For the first time ever, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
