Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a detailed account of the political and military history of the Irish American Fenian Brotherhood in the nineteenth century. In what is now largely considered a footnote in history, Americans invaded Canada along the Niagara Frontier in 1866. The group behind the invasionthe Fenian Brotherhoodwas formed in 1858 by Irish nationalists in New York City in order to fight for Irish independence from Britain. At the end of the American Civil War, Fenian leaders attempted to use Irish Americans, many of them combat veterans, to seize Canada and make it the New Ireland as a means to force the British from old Ireland. New York State was both the epicenter of Fenian leadership and a key support base and staging area for the military operations. Although relatively short-lived and with some of its military operations being somewhere between farce and tragedy, the Fenian Brotherhood had a very important impact on nineteenth-century New York and America, but remains largely forgotten. In Rebels on the Niagara Lawrence E. Cline examines not only the Fenian operations and their impact on Canada, but also the role the United States and New York played in both the initial support for the Fenian movement and its subsequent collapse in America. A brilliant new account of the forgotten 1866 invasion of Canada by Fenian Irish American Civil War veterans. The Battle of Ridgeway, fought during the Fenian Raids in the Niagara region, was the first Irish victory over the forces of the British Empire since the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745. Lawrence Cline gives us a new look inside the mad and daring Fenian invasion plan to take Canada and hold it hostage in the name of freedom from British rule in Ireland. Peter Vronsky, author of Ridgeway: The American Fenian Invasion and the 1866 Battle That Made Canada This book examines in fascinating detail a neglected event in US and Niagara Frontier history. Lawrence Clines study of the Fenian invasion of Canada will be of interest to students of unconventional war, the Irish independence movement, and US-Canadian relations, as well as to the general educated reader. It is a valuable contribution to the literature. Thomas R. Mockaitis, author of Conventional and Unconventional War: A History of Conflict in the Modern World

Book excerpt: The Dark Corner of the Confederacy. . . The Civil War in Northeast Texas began long before a shot was fired in the east. The battle between those opposed to slavery and the slave owners began with the "Texas Troubles" and resulted in the hanging of forty men in Gainesville in 1862 and did not end until after reconstruction. The characters included James Bourland, who became known as the "Hangman of Texas," Sophia Butts earned the title of the "Paul Revere of Texas," William Clark Quantrill of Missouri, Bloody Bill Anderson, who found a wife in Sherman at the Iron Post Saloon, Jesse James, who was supposedly buried in at least three Texas graveyards, his brother Frank, who sold shoes at Sanger Department Stone after the war, and Martin Hart who formed a company to fight for the Confederacy but took them north to join the Union. After the war when the Confederate soldiers came home, they found themselves under Yankee and carpetbagger rule. Bob Lee returned from the war a hero, but was killed by those who wanted the gold he supposedly had. Others such as Ben Biggerstaff, Cullen Baker, Belle and Sam Starr, and John Wesley Hardin turned into bandits and killers, robbing and killing with equal enthusiasm Negroes or Federals. It was a bloody time and it was difficult to tell the good guys from the bad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War in 1861 found Southerners a minority throughout the West. Early efforts to create military forces were quickly suppressed. Many returned to the South to fight while others remained where they were, forming a potentially disloyal population. Underground movements existed throughout the war in Colorado, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and even Idaho. Repeatedly betrayed and overwhelmed by Union forces and without communications with the South, these groups were ineffective. In southern New Mexico, Southerners, who were the majority, aligned themselves with the Confederacy. Four small companies of irregulars, one Hispanic, fought (effectively) as part of the abortive Confederate invasion force of 1861-2. The most famous of these, the "Brigands," were close in function to a modern special forces unit. In 1862 the Brigands were sent into Colorado to join up with a secret army of 600-1,000 men massing there, but were betrayed. Returning to Texas, the Brigands and the other irregulars were used for special operations in the West throughout the War; they also fought in the Louisiana-Arkansas campaigns of 1863-4.
