This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the tender age of 14, Thomas Duncan (1846-1931) was swept up in the fierce winds of civil war as the United States was ripped apart by sectional strife. He had no idea what lay ahead of him as he rushed to defend his home soil of Mississippi. Indeed, his service in the Confederate Army would carry him into some of the most important battles of the American Civil War. Serving under the military genius Nathan Bedford Forrest, Duncan would find himself far from home and under fire at such places as Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Rienzi, Murfreesboro, Perryville, campaigns through West and Middle Tennessee, Chickamauga, Fort Pillow, Brice's Crossroads, Harrisburg, Tupelo, and Sulphur Trestle, Alabama. The young scout and soldier witnessed dramatic events like the pursuit of the Streight Raiders and the historic raids into Memphis, North Alabama, and Middle Tennessee. Duncan survived many harrowing experiences during the war. He lived another seventy years after his enlistment in the Confederate Army. At the age of seventy-six, he penned these Recollections, first published in 1922. Duncan relates his experiences in a genuinely reflective way. There is no bitterness or rancor in his written voice as he tells an informative and interesting account of a young Mississippi boy far from home, defending his native region. His story is his own, recounted with a vividness and reflection that is only possible with the passage of years. With the publication of this edition of Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan, it is the hope of the publishers that it will reach a wider audience who can carry his words with them long after they've visited the battlefields and locations he writes about.

Book excerpt: This unpretentious work is not the product of a literary ambition. Though my story deals with events that will live forever in the records of our country, I have not sought to give it the wings of poetic fancy whereby it may fly into the libraries of the earth. Within the happy family circle, from which my children are now gone, these oft-recounted recollections became a part of their education. I permitted them to turn the pages of my memory, as the leaves of a book, that they might learn the vanished glory of the old South—the loving loyalty and the sad travail of her people. And I trust that they learned also that our unfortunate Civil War—now, thank God, nearly sixty years behind us—was a clash of honest principles. That there were wild-eyed agitators and extremists on both sides, and that each had its scalawags and low-flung ruffians, there can be no doubt (and some of these—alas!—still live); but the masses of the soldiers of both armies, who bore the brunt of battle and suffered the privations of those sorrowful years, were patriots; and he who speaks or writes to the contrary is an enemy to our reunited country and an element of weakness and danger in the strength of the nation. My two beloved daughters have prevailed upon me to record my experiences of four years as a Confederate soldier, in the form of a brief printed memoir; and so, impelled by my regard for their wishes, I enter the work for them and for their descendants, without any thought of placing a literary commodity upon the counters of the country; and yet I must so write that, wherever this volume may chance to fall into the hands of a stranger, he may find in it that one essential to such a story as this is—Truth. Thomas D. Duncan.

Book excerpt: Born the eighth child in a wealthy Mississippi plantation family in 1843, David Eldred Holt joined Company K of the 16th Mississippi Regiment in 1861 and served in the Eastern theater throughout the Civil War. Late in his life, at a time when many former soldiers, both Union and Confederate, were reliving their memories of that event, Holt penned this memoir, recounting the idyllic life of an affluent southern boy before the war and the exhilarating, sometimes humorous, often terrifying experiences of a common soldier in camp and in battle.

Download or read book Of Age written by Frances M. Clarke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Enormous numbers of boys and youths served in the American Civil War. The first book to arrive at a careful estimate, Of Age argues that underage enlistees comprised roughly ten percent of the Union army and likely a similar proportion of Confederate forces. Their importance extended beyond sheer numbers. Boys who enlisted without consent deprived parents of badly needed labor and income to which were legally entitled, setting off struggles between households and the military. As the contest over underage enlistees became a referendum on the growing centralization of military and political power, it was the United States, more than the Confederacy, that fought tooth and nail to retain this valuable cohort. How far could the federal government breach the sanctity of the household when the nation's very survival was at stake? Should military officers bow to the will of local and state judges? And what form should the military take to ensure victory while remaining true to the nation's republican principles? As they detail how Americans grappled with these questions, Clarke and Plant introduce readers to common but largely unknown wartime scenarios-parents chasing after regiments to recover their sons, state judges defying the federal government by discharging boys, and recently enslaved African American youths swept up by Union recruiters. Examining the phenomenon from multiple perspectives-legal, military, medical, social, political, and cultural-Of Age demonstrates why underage enlistment is such an important lens for understanding the Civil War and its transformative effects"--
