Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philip Henson, the Southern Union Spy: The Hitherto Unwritten Record of a Hero of the War of the Rebellion This sketch of Philip Henson, the Southern Union Spy, which is offered to the public was per force hastily compiled and hastily written in order that the subject of it and the pages of the late war which it reveals for the first time might be brought before the veterans of the conflict to whom they are of the deepest interest. The materials were gathered and the work completed in the leisure time of four days so that it will be recognized readily that full investiga tion and careful arrangement were impossible. The salient points only are presented leaving to 'a future time the further development of materials of which this is merely a tithe. This explanation of the haste which is apparent in its pages and the blunders which may have crept in is due the readers from the writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No intelligence operatives in the Civil War risked more than southern unionists.

Grant.During his daring career, Henson came into contact one too many times with Confederate cavalry general, Nathan Bedford Forrest. He and his wife were both arrested and it seemed certain that Henson would make the acquaintance with a hangman's noose.This remarkable career is told here in detail."A brave, fearless and exceedingly valuable scout."--Edward Hatch, Brev. Maj.-General."He performed services that no other man would."--G. M.

Download or read book Teacher Preacher Soldier Spy written by Christopher Grasso and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic life story of a schoolteacher and preacher in Missouri, guerrilla fighter in the Civil War, Congressman, freethinking lecturer and author, and anarchist. A former Methodist preacher and Missouri schoolteacher, John R. Kelso served as a Union Army foot soldier, cavalry officer, guerrilla fighter, and spy. Kelso became driven by revenge after pro-Southern neighbors stole his property, burned down his house, and drove his family and friends from their homes. He vowed to kill twenty-five Confederates with his own hands and, often disguised as a rebel, proceeded to track and kill unsuspecting victims with "wild delight." The newspapers of the day reported on his feats of derring-do, as the Union hailed him as a hero and Confederate sympathizers called him a monster. Teacher, Preacher, Soldier, Spy: The Civil Wars of John R. Kelso is an account of an extraordinary nineteenth-century American life. During Reconstruction, Kelso served in the House of Representatives and was one of the first to call for the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Personal tragedy then drove him west, where he became a freethinking lecturer and author, an atheist, a spiritualist, and, before his death in 1891, an anarchist. Kelso was also a strong-willed son, a passionate husband, and a loving and grieving father. The Civil War remained central to his life, challenging his notions of manhood and honor, his ideals of liberty and equality, and his beliefs about politics, religion, morality, and human nature. Throughout his life, too, he fought private wars--not only against former friends and alienated family members, rebellious students and disaffected church congregations, political opponents and religious critics, but also against the warring impulses in his own character. In Christopher Grasso's hands, Kelso's life story offers a unique vantage on dimensions of nineteenth-century American culture that are usually treated separately: religious revivalism and political anarchism; sex, divorce, and Civil War battles; freethinking and the Wild West. A complex figure and passionate, contradictory, and prolific writer, John R. Kelso here receives a full telling of his life for the first time.

Download or read book Alabamians in Blue written by Christopher M. Rein and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alabamians in Blue offers an in-depth scholarly examination of Alabama’s black and white Union soldiers and their contributions to the eventual success of the Union army in the western theater. Christopher M. Rein contends that the state’s anti-Confederate residents tendered an important service to the North, primarily by collecting intelligence and protecting logistical infrastructure. He highlights an underappreciated period of biracial cooperation, underwritten by massive support from the federal government. Providing a broad synthesis, Rein’s study demonstrates that southern dissenters were not passive victims but rather active participants in their own liberation. Ecological factors, including agricultural collapse under levies from both armies, may have provided the initial impetus for Union enlistment. Federal pillaging inflicted further heavy destruction on plantation agriculture. The breakdown in basic subsistence that ensued pushed Alabama’s freedmen and Unionists into federal camps in garrison cities in search of relief and the opportunity for revenge. Once in uniform, Alabama’s Union soldiers served alongside northern regiments and frustrated Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s attempts to interrupt the Union supply efforts in the 1864 Atlanta campaign, which led to the collapse of Confederate arms in the western theater and the eventual Union victory. Rein describes a “hybrid warfare” of simultaneous conventional and guerilla battles, where each significantly influenced the other. He concludes that the conventional conflict both prompted and eventually ended the internecine warfare that largely marked the state’s experience of the war. A comprehensive analysis of military, social, and environmental history, Alabamians in Blue uncovers a past of biracial cooperation in the American South, and in Alabama in particular, that postwar adherents to the “Myth of the Lost Cause” have successfully suppressed until now.
