Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William H. Armstrong's book, "Red-Tape and Pigeon-Hole Generals: As Seen from the Ranks During a Campaign in the Army of the Potomac," offers a unique and critical perspective on the American Civil War. As the title character is so indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading to find out what happens next. The book is a harsh and informative analysis of the hardships faced by enlisted troops on the front lines, based on Armstrong's personal experiences as a soldier. Armstrong's narrative voice emerges in the midst of the fight as he recalls the frustrations and injustices faced by soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. The title relates to the inefficiencies and bureaucracy that frequently impeded effective military command. Through the eyes of a soldier, Armstrong highlights the separation between high-ranking officers and soldiers in the trenches, emphasizing the negative impact of decisions made by distant leaders. "Red-Tape and Pigeon-Hole Generals" delivers a scathing assessment of the military system and its impact on the lives of those who fought by blending personal narratives with historical background.

Book excerpt: An intimate view of life in the Union Army William Armstrong's account of his time in the Union Army during the American Civil War differs from many of its peers. Through Armstrong's writings we see not only the campaigns, skirmishes and battles of the great conflict, but also get an insidwe's view of what it was like to be a member of a regimental 'family' at the time. Regimental life is described in much detail and the officers, non-coms and soldiers are finely drawn so that they become well-rounded characters. This book is filled with dialogue, incident and anecdote. As the title implies the author does not shy away from the drudgeries and pointless bureaucracy of military life in his time, and this insight into the frustrations of the citizen soldier at war for a cause in which he believes in spite (from his perspective) of the reactionary incompetence of his superiors makes vital reading for those who look for a total picture of the soldiers of the Civil War. Available in softcover and hard back with dust jacket.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Red-Tape and Pigeon-Hole Generals: As Seen From the Ranks During a Campaign in the Army of the Potomac "Greek-fire has shivered the statue of John C. Calhoun in the streets of the City of Charleston," - so the papers say. Whether true or not, the Greek-fire of the righteous indignation of a loyal people is fast shattering the offspring of his infamous teachings, - the armed treason of the South, and its more cowardly ally the insidious treachery that lurks under doubtful cover in the loyal States. In thunder tones do the masses declare, that now and for ever, they repudiate the Treason and despise the Traitor. Nobly are the hands of our Honest President sustained in prosecuting this most righteous war. In a day like this, the least that can be expected of any citizen is - duty. We are all co-partners in our beneficent government. We should be co-laborers for her defence. Jealous of the interests of her brave soldiery; for they are our own. Proud of their noble deeds; they constitute our National Heritage. If these campaign sketches, gathered in actual service during 1862-3, and grouped during the spare hours of convalescence from a camp fever, correct one of the least of the abuses in our military machinery - if they lighten the toil of the humblest of our soldiers, or nerve anew the resolves of loyalty tempted to despair, the writer will have no reason to complain of labor lost. Great latitude of excuse for the existence of abuses must be allowed, when we consider the suddenness with which our volunteers sprang into ranks at the outset of the Rebellion. Now that the warfare is a system, there is less reason for their continuance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Funny Thing About the Civil War written by Thomas F. Curran and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining humor in depictions of the Civil War from the war years to the present, this review covers a wide range of literature, film and television in historical context. Wartime humor served as a form of propaganda to render the enemy and their cause laughable, but also to help people cope with the human costs of the conflict. After the war many authors and, later, movie and television producers employed humor to shape its legacy, perpetuating myths and stereotypes that became ingrained in American memory. Giving attention to the stories behind the stories, the author focuses on what people laughed at, who they laughed with and what it reveals about their view of events.
Download or read book A Republic in the Ranks written by Zachery A. Fry and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army of the Potomac was a hotbed of political activity during the Civil War. As a source of dissent widely understood as a frustration for Abraham Lincoln, its onetime commander, George B. McClellan, even secured the Democratic nomination for president in 1864. But in this comprehensive reassessment of the army's politics, Zachery A. Fry argues that the war was an intense political education for its common soldiers. Fry examines several key crisis points to show how enlisted men developed political awareness that went beyond personal loyalties. By studying the struggle between Republicans and Democrats for political allegiance among the army's rank and file, Fry reveals how captains, majors, and colonels spurred a pro-Republican political awakening among the enlisted men, culminating in the army's resounding Republican voice in state and national elections in 1864. For decades, historians have been content to view the Army of the Potomac primarily through the prism of its general officer corps, portraying it as an arm of the Democratic Party loyal to McClellan's leadership and legacy. Fry, in contrast, shifts the story's emphasis to resurrect the successful efforts of proadministration junior officers who educated their men on the war's political dynamics and laid the groundwork for Lincoln's victory in 1864.
