Book excerpt: Excerpt from National History of the War for the Union, Civil, Military and Naval, Vol. 1 of 3: Founded on Official and Other Authentic Documents The Publishers submit this record of the war for the union with a few Words of acknowledgment to their Subscribers for their support during its progress. Undertaken at an early period of the conflict, when its duration could not be calculated, the work has been steadily prosecuted, chapter by chapter contemporaneously with the rapid march of events. Relying mostly upon original documents which will always retain their, value, the narrative has been proportioned to the importance and length of the struggle; while the Artists have presented in a'series of more than seventy engravings, the most remarkable incidents and most important personages who have figured in the national history during this unprecedented struggle. In attaining this result, the Publishers have had to encounter many mechanical difficulties growing out of the interruptions of labor, and the increased price of materials, consequent upon the war but they have never suffered these embarrassments to interfere with the steady progress of the work.

Excerpt: ...by them and finally a revolver was discharged at the soldiers in front. Upon this several shots were fired in return, the people in the vicinity were scattered and the assault in that quarter was suppressed. Presently, however, a similar scene of greater violence occurred in the rear. Several shots from a revolver were discharged at Lieutenant Saxton of the regular army, when the assailant was thrust through with a bayonet and shot down. Other shots were tired at the soldiers, who fired in return, putting the mob to ilight, when Captain Lyon prompthT arrested the conflict. In this disastrous encounter seven of the townspeople were killed and a number wounded. Senator Folk of Missouri subsequently, in his seat in the Senate, stated the number of deaths at forty to fifty, the wounds by the Minie ball proving particularly fatal. As usual, in a promiscuous throng, under such circumstances, the innocent suffered with the guilty. The greatest excitement, of course, prevailed in the city and fears were had of a general riot, as a tumultuous crowd bearing banners of various devices and loud in their imprecations upon the German soldiers wdio had fired upon the unoffending population, roamed through the streets. A gun store was broken open and a number of guns removed before the police could assemble to arrest the proceedings. Various speakers addressed the crowd in front of the Planters' House and in other parts of the city, and by this sedative, and the more authoritative presence of an armed police, the night passed without further disturbance. Unhappily, however, the scene of tumult was renewed the following night, when a body of the German Home Guards, returning from the arsenal, where they had been reviewed during the day and furnished with...

Download or read book The Siege of Washington written by John Lockwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 14, 1861, following the surrender of Fort Sumter, Washington was "put into the condition of a siege," declared Abraham Lincoln. Located sixty miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, the nation's capital was surrounded by the slave states of Maryland and Virginia. With no fortifications and only a handful of trained soldiers, Washington was an ideal target for the Confederacy. The South echoed with cries of "On to Washington!" and Jefferson Davis's wife sent out cards inviting her friends to a reception at the White House on May 1. Lincoln issued an emergency proclamation on April 15, calling for 75,000 troops to suppress the rebellion and protect the capital. One question now transfixed the nation: whose forces would reach Washington first-Northern defenders or Southern attackers? For 12 days, the city's fate hung in the balance. Washington was entirely isolated from the North-without trains, telegraph, or mail. Sandbags were stacked around major landmarks, and the unfinished Capitol was transformed into a barracks, with volunteer troops camping out in the House and Senate chambers. Meanwhile, Maryland secessionists blocked the passage of Union reinforcements trying to reach Washington, and a rumored force of 20,000 Confederate soldiers lay in wait just across the Potomac River. Drawing on firsthand accounts, The Siege of Washington tells this story from the perspective of leading officials, residents trapped inside the city, Confederates plotting to seize it, and Union troops racing to save it, capturing with brilliance and immediacy the precarious first days of the Civil War.
