Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohio in the War, Vol. 2 of 2: Her Statesmen, Her Generals, and Soldiers At the close of the War against the Rebellion, the State of Ohio had in the National service two hundred regiments of all arms. In the course of the war she furnished two hundred and thirty regiments, besides twenty-six independent batteries of artillery, five independent companies of cavalry, several companies of sharp-shooters, large parts of five regiments credited to the West Virginia contingent, two credited to the Kentucky contingent, two transferred to "United States Colored Troops," and a large proportion of the rank and file for the Fifty-Fourth and Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts. Of these organizations, twenty-three were infantry regiments furnished for three months at the outbreak of the war, being an excess of nearly one-half over the quota allotted to the State. One hundred and ninety-one were infantry regiments afterward furnished in obedience to the several calls of the President - one hundred and seventeen for three years, twenty-seven for one year, two for six months, three for three months, and forty-two for a hundred days. Thirteen were cavalry and three were artillery regiments for three years. And of these three-years' troops from Ohio, over twenty thousand re-enlisted as veterans at the end of their long term of service - to fight till the war should ebb out in Victory. In these various organizations, as original members or as recruits, the State furnished to the National service the magnificent army of three hundred and ten thousand six hundred and fifty-four soldiers. The quota was only thirteen regiments. The Government would not then accept more, and so the State put them in the field on her own account. The Government finally paid them. In this statement I follow throughout the figures of the United States Provost-Marshal-General in his final report to the War Department (Vol. I, pp. 160 to 164). Nearly all the State. have industriously reckoned up larger totals - obtained by counting those who paid commutation money as so many soldiers actually furnished, by treating the veteran re-enlistments as so many new troops, by enumerating their citizens enlisted in the organizations of other States, their sailors, etc. Much may be plausibly said in favor of counting most of these different classes; but, on the whole, it seems to me fairer to reject hem, and to accept the figures on which the War Department acted in apportioning the quotas and enforcing the draft. This gives a less imposing appearance to the statement of our troops, but it is perfectly free from any possibility of being charged with the unwise exaggeration to which a morbid State pride has sometimes led. The Adjutant-General of Ohio, however, in his report for 1864, reckoning most of the classes we have rejected, had swelled the number of troops furnished by the State (up to December 1, 1864) to 346,326. - Report, p.47.

Download or read book Sherwood Anderson written by Walter B. Rideout and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-02-20 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherwood Anderson: A Writer in America is the definitive biography of this major American writer of novels and short stories, whose work includes the modern classic Winesburg, Ohio. In the first volume of this monumental two-volume work, Walter Rideout chronicles the life of Anderson from his birth and his early business career through his beginnings as a writer and finally to his move in the mid-1920s to “Ripshin,” his house near Marion, Virginia. The second volume will cover Anderson’s return to business pursuits, his extensive travels in the South touring factories, which resulted in his political involvement in labor struggles and several books on the topic, and finally his unexpected death in 1941. No other existing Anderson biography, the most recent of which was published nearly twenty years ago, is as thoroughly researched, so extensively based on primary sources and interviews with a range of Anderson friends and family members, or as complete in its vision of the man and the writer. The result is an unparalleled biography—one that locates the private man, while astutely placing his life and writings in a broader social and political context.

Download or read book States at War Volume 2 written by Richard F. Miller and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War states and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This volume provides a crucial reference book for Civil War scholars and historians, professional or amateur, seeking information about New York during the war. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, executive speeches and proclamations on the federal and state levels, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual state's war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

Download or read book Alexander Fighting Elleck Hays written by Wayne Mahood and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he never achieved the renown of Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee, General Alexander Hays was one of the great military men of the Civil War. Born July 8, 1819, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, Hays graduated from West Point and served with distinction during the Mexican War. When the Civil War began a few years later, it was no surprise that Hays immediately volunteered and was given the initial rank of colonel with a later meritorious promotion to general. Hays was also known for his concern for his men, a fact that no doubt contributed to the acclaim which he received after his death on May 5, 1864, at the age of 44. From West Point to the Civil War, this biography takes a look at Hays's life, concentrating--with good cause--on his military career. Personal correspondence and contemporary sources are used to complete the picture of a complex man, devoted husband and father, and gifted and dedicated soldier.
