Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the New York Monuments Commission on the Dedication of Monument to the Seventy-Ninth Regiment Highlanders New York Volunteers, Knoxville, Tenn., September 23, 1918 Giving credit where credit was due was well illustrated at Knox ville ou September 23, 1918, when a monument was dedicated there to one of the New York infantry regiments that took part in the East Tennessee campaign, during the fall and winter Of 1863. This regiment, the Seventy-ninth New York Highlanders, established a high reputation for valor and all-round dependability in the thirty odd fields where it was in action. Whether in wide spread operations, time and again, or pent up in beleaguered quarters, fighting on the defensive against heavy odds, as in the siege of Knoxville, their sum of service and proportion of sacrifice stamp the Highlanders as one of the foremost organizations that served in the Union armies. Consequently, there was no denying the fact that they were deserving of lasting memorial honors when their veteran association sought eventually to put this laudable ambition into effect. The Highlanders took what was practically a leading part in the defense of Fort Sanders, November '219, 1863; and it was this famed arena, among all the scenes of memorable exploits in which they participated, that they had constantly in mind for erecting a monument to their regiment. The h0pe that they had so long cherished to see this in its desired place in Knoxville was at last in the way of being realized when the Legislature of 1917 voted for their use, pursuant to a bill introduced by Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist. On investigation, it was not found practicable to have the monu ment placed anywhere within the bounds of Fort Sanders itself. As primarily intended; and failing this the City Commissioners of Knoxville generously donated other appropriate ground for it, in the vicinity, which is at Clinch Avenue Park.

Download or read book The Knoxville Campaign written by Earl J. Hess and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hess’s account of the understudied Knoxville Campaign sheds new light on the generalship of James Longstreet and Ambrose Burnside, as well as such lesser players as Micah Jenkins and Orlando Poe. Both scholars and general readers should welcome it. The scholarship is sound, the research, superb, the writing, excellent.” —Steven E. Woodworth, author of Decision in the Heartland: The Civil War in the West In the fall and winter of 1863, Union General Ambrose Burnside and Confederate General James Longstreet vied for control of the city of Knoxville and with it the railroad that linked the Confederacy east and west. The generals and their men competed, too, for the hearts and minds of the people of East Tennessee. Often overshadowed by the fighting at Chickamauga and Chattanooga, this important campaign has never received a full scholarly treatment. In this landmark book, award-winning historian Earl J. Hess fills a gap in Civil War scholarship—a timely contribution that coincides with and commemorates the sesquicentennial of the Civil War The East Tennessee campaign was an important part of the war in the West. It brought the conflict to Knoxville in a devastating way, forcing the Union defenders to endure two weeks of siege in worsening winter conditions. The besieging Confederates suffered equally from supply shortages, while the civilian population was caught in the middle and the town itself suffered widespread destruction. The campaign culminated in the famed attack on Fort Sanders early on the morning of November 29, 1863. The bloody repulse of Longstreet’s veterans that morning contributed significantly to the unraveling of Confederate hopes in the Western theater of operations. Hess’s compelling account is filled with numerous maps and images that enhance the reader’s understanding of this vital campaign that tested the heart of East Tennessee. The author’s narrative and analysis will appeal to a broad audience, including general readers, seasoned scholars, and new students of Tennessee and Civil War history. The Knoxville Campaign will thoroughly reorient our view of the war as it played out in the mountains and valleys of East Tennessee. EARL J. HESS is Stewart W. McClelland Distinguished Professor in Humanities and an associate professor of history at Lincoln Memorial University. He is the author of nearly twenty books, including The Civil War in the West—Victory and Defeat from the Appalachians to the Mississippi and Lincoln Memorial University and the Shaping of Appalachia.

Download or read book Sons of East Tennessee written by Jack Brubaker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two aging Civil War veterans mourned the death of their sons at a joint funeral in Knoxville National Cemetery. One, a cavalry general, had fought for the Union. The other had served as surgeon/major of a Confederate cavalry regiment. They met for the first time at the graves of their sons--two army lieutenants and University of Tennessee graduates killed together in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Newspaper accounts presented the encounter as an example of reconciliation between North and South. This book recounts the meeting of two families from opposing sides of the war--both rooted in East Tennessee, a region harshly divided by the conflict--placing their story in the context of America's reconciliation narrative at the end of the 19th century.
