Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Confederate Dead The war between the North and South of the United States of America covered a period of four years, from the firing of the first gun at Fort Sumter, S. C, April 12, 1861, to April 9, 1865. On this latter date Robert E. Lee, Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army, surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, Commander-in-Chief of the Federal or United States Army, at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Richmond was the capital of the Confederate States and Virginia virtually the battle-field of the long conflict. According to the New York World Almanac for 1894, the men furnished the Federal Army numbered 2,778,304. In regard to the number of men furnished the Confederate Army, replying by letter to the writer's query. General Marcus J. Wright, War Records, states that the absence of complete rolls of "the Confederate Army makes it impossible to give an exact report." The most accurate estimates place the number "at between 600,000 and 700,000." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confederate Dead: Two Addresses It will be a defense of our revolutionary forefathers and of the government they established, under which for three quarters of a cen tury liberty was protected, and peace and prosperity dwelt among us. It will establish our hereditary claim to this constitutional freedom, and our fidelity alike to the teachings and to the example of our sires, and to demonstrate that the sons who fell at Manassas and in front of Richmond were equal to the sires who froze at Valley Forge and con quered at Yorktown. It will be another proof that forms of govern ment may be a deception, and that liberty was in danger - even in temples erected to her honor and at altars where priests minister in her name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Southern Monuments: Representative Memorials of the Heroic Dead of the Southern Confederacy Since the wealth of material furnished would make a most ponderable volume if all were used, I have been forced to limit the number of monuments representative of each city and State in order to cover as wide a field as possible. For the description of many of the monuments and for a large part of the literary matter in this volume I am indebted to the Confederate Veteran, the great historical magazine published by Colonel S. A. Cunningham at Nashville, Tenn., now in[ its eighteenth year. The editor generously gave me permission to make free use of its pages. But for that great storehouse of Southern his tory this book would not' have been thought of and would have been impossible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address and Poem: Delivered at the Unveiling of the Monument Erected to the Memory of the Confederate Dead of Warren County, N. C., August 27, 1903 Mrs. President, Ladies of the Memorial Association, Old Soldiers, Ladies and Gentlemen: This vast assemblage attests the deep emotion which has been excited by the occasion. This great throng, with countenances radiant with sympathy and uplifted reverently, but proudly, in this open temple of the skies, proclaim that the purpose of our meeting has affected our hearts most profoundly. We could not, if we would, subdue the feelings which sway us today. Our thoughts and our affections are with the spirits of our kinsmen and our friends who gave their lives for us in a cause that failed. With a few exceptions we know not where on Glory's historic ground their bodies lie; but this we know, that the crushed hearts of many who are now living lie buried with them. There are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and other souls faithful and tender who would rejoice to sleep at last, dust to dust, in those unmarked and unknown graves with the objects of their affections; for, "Where the heart has laid down what it loved most, it is desirous of laying itself down." If in our power, we would gather the sacred ashes of each of these cherished ones from his shallow grave, and deposit them with loving hands around this stone.

Download or read book Love and War a Photograph of the Confederate War in the United States Taken from Kentucky written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love and War, a Photograph of the Confederate War in the United States, Taken From Kentucky: A Monument to One Who Died to Be Free This book, written partly as an outlet to feelings that threatened to overwhelm heart or brain, and partly as a chronicle, is, if I am capable of judging, a true photograph of the Confederate War begun in 1861. I have since the end of the contest put as far away as possible all thoughts of it that are of a national character to me, as to thousands, that character has long since merged itself into a personal remembrance. Those dearest to us sacrificed heroic lives for a cause that has perished. Shall we allow them to be forgotten? This literary monument to my Dead will be a memorial to everyone who fell in behalf of the freedom of the South. Our victors will write novels and histories that will condemn them shall the Dead find no defender When some grand children of Southern politicians hear their ancestors blamed for the doctrines of States' Rights and Secession, they may not be sorry to find their justification in Laura's arguments. Virginia's earnest advocacy of Kentucky but expressed the pain her condemnation by some Southerners caused the writer. I do not publish this book with any feeling of pleasure, because to be true to the Dead and my own past I must send forth to the world many sentences against the Unionists, among whom are my very dearest friends yet it is equally true, as far as I can recollect, that I never felt any bitterness against one of them. My resolution to print the book was shaken by a fear that I might reawaken feelings Christians had better bury; but although we are commanded to forgive our enemies, God has not bidden us forget, because the Author of the human mind knew memory was not under the control of the will.

Download or read book The Aftermath of Battle written by Meg Groeling and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of what happened after the shooting stopped and the process of burying bodies in the wake of Civil War carnage and chaos. The clash of armies in the American Civil War left hundreds of thousands of men dead, wounded, or permanently damaged. Skirmishes and battles could result in casualty numbers as low as one or two and as high as tens of thousands. The carnage of the battlefield left a lasting impression on those who experienced or viewed it, but in most cases the armies quickly moved on to meet again at another time and place. When the dust settled and the living armies moved on, what happened to the dead left behind? Unlike battle narratives, The Aftermath of Battle picks up the story as the battle ends. The burial of the dead was an overwhelming experience for the armies or communities forced to clean up after the destruction of battle. In the short-term action, bodies were hastily buried to avoid the stench and the horrific health concerns of massive death; in the long-term, families struggled to reclaim loved ones and properly reinter them in established cemeteries. Visitors to a battlefield often wonder what happened to the dead once the battle was over. This compelling, easy-to-read overview, enhanced with extensive photos and illustrations, provides a look at the aftermath of battle and the process of burying the Civil War dead.
