Book excerpt: James Abram Garfield was the 20th President of the United States, serving from March to September of 1881. He was assassinated by Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed office seeker. Published in 1882, Garfield's oration on the life and character of General George H. Thomas focuses on the life and military career of his former commander. A Union General during the American Civil War, Thomas is particularly remembered for his decisive victory at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863.

Thomas: Delivered Before the Society of the Army of the Cumberland From the meager materials at our command, it appears that he was of Welsh descent on his father's side; though his ancestors resided for some time in England before they crossed the sea. Both physically and intellectually, general thomas bore unmistakable marks of that sturdy Cumbrian character which, for four centuries, defied the conquering arms of Rome.

The second was the great Western slope from the same mountain chain to the Ohio, the Tennessee., and Tombigbee rivers, and extending southward to the Gulf. The third was the Mississippi river itself, and the immediate territory along its banks. Peculiarities of topography and surroundings required, for each of these lines, different modes of supplying an army and of conducting campaigns. The army of the East, which operated on the first line, was in great part supplied from the sea; and many of its operations were carried on in conjunction with the navy. The army on the third, or Western line was supplied from the Mississippi river; and the gun-boat service formed a novel and important feature in its military operations. The Army of the Cumberland held the center line, which was in many respects the most difficult of all. There could be but little naval co-operation with its movements; and only for a short distance could it be supplied by river transportation. Its main supply was by a single line of railroad, running hundreds of miles among a hostile population, and requiring a heavy force for its protection. The great central pathway led into the heart of the rebellion. It crossed the only line of railway (the Memphis and Charleston) which united the Eastern and Western States of the Confederacy. Extraordinary obstacles lay in the pathway of an army moving southward over this central route. Besides the broad and deep rivers which cross it, the great mountain chain itself, bending sharply near the Georgia line, sweeps westward until it loses itself in the low sand-hills and plains of Alabama and Mississippi, thus presenting a most formidable barrier to an army invading the Gulf States. The great gateway of the mountain chain is at...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although often counted among the Union's top five generals, George Henry Thomas has still not received his due. A Virginian who sided with the North in the Civil War, he was a more complicated commander than traditional views have allowed. Brian Wills now provides a new and more complete look at the life of a man known to history as "The Rock of Chickamauga," to his troops as "Old Pap," and to General William T. Sherman as a soldier who was "as true as steel." While biographers have long been hampered by Thomas's lack of personal papers, Wills has drawn on previously untapped sources—notably the correspondence of Thomas's contemporaries—to offer new insights into what made him tick. Focusing on Thomas's personality and motivations, Wills contributes revealing discussions of his style and approach to command and successfully captures his troubled interactions with other Union commanders, providing a particularly more evenhanded evaluation of his relationship with Grant. He also gives a more substantial account of battlefield action than can be found in other biographies, capturing the ebb and flow of key encounters—Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, Chattanooga and Atlanta, Stones River and Mill Springs, Peachtree Creek and Nashville—to help readers better understand Thomas's contributions to their outcomes. Throughout Wills presents a well-rounded individual whose complex views embraced the worlds of professional military service and scientific inquisitiveness, a man known for attention to detail and compassion to subordinates. We also meet a sharp-tempered person whose disdain for politics hurt his prospects for advancement as much as it reflected positively on his character, and Wills offers new insight into why Thomas might not have progressed as quickly up the ladder of command as he might have liked. More deeply researched than other biographies, Wills's work situates Thomas squarely in his own time to provide readers with a more thorough and balanced life story of this enigmatic Union general. It is a definitive military history that gives us a new and needed picture of the Rock of Chickamauga—a man whose devotion to duty and ideals made him as true as steel.
