Download or read book John Bell Hood and the Fight for Civil War Memory written by Brian Craig Miller and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this first biography of the general in more than twenty years, Miller offers a new original perspective, directly challenging those historians who have pointed to Hood's perceived personality flaws, his alleged abuse of painkillers, and other unsubstantiated claims as proof of his incompetence as a military leader. This book takes into account Hood's entire life -- as a student at West Point, his meteoric rise and fall as a soldier and Civil War commander, and his career as a successful postwar businessman. In many ways, Hood represents a typical southern man, consumed by personal and societal definitions of manhood that were threatened by amputation and preserved and reconstructed by Civil War memory. Miller consults an extensive variety of sources, explaining not only what Hood did but also the environment in which he lived and how it affected him"--Jacket.

Download or read book Death of an Overseer written by Michael Wayne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-03-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May of 1857, the body of Duncan Skinner was found in a strip of woods along the edge of the plantation near Natchez, Mississippi, where he worked as an overseer. Although a coroner's jury initially ruled his death to be accidental, an investigation organized by planters from the community concluded that he had been murdered by three slaves acting under instructions from John McCallin, an Irish carpenter. Now, almost a century and a half later, Michael Wayne has reopened the case to ask whether the men involved in the investigation arrived at the right verdict. Part essay on the art of historical detection, part seminar on the history of slavery and the Old South, Death of an Overseer is, above all, a murder mystery--a murder mystery that allows readers to sift through the surviving evidence themselves and come to their own conclusions about who killed Duncan Skinner and why.
Download or read book Teacher of Civil War Generals written by Allen H. Mesch and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From West Point to Fort Donelson, General Charles Ferguson Smith was a soldier's soldier. He served at the U.S. Military Academy from 1829 to 1842 as Instructor of Tactics, Adjutant to the Superintendent and Commandant of Cadets. During his 42-year career he was a teacher, mentor and role model for many cadets who became prominent Civil War generals, and he was admired by such former students as Grant, Halleck, Longstreet and Sherman. Smith set an example for junior officers in the Mexican War, leading his light battalion to victories and earning three field promotions. He served with Albert Sidney Johnston and other future Confederate officers in the Mormon War. He mentored Grant while serving with him during the Civil War, and helped turn the tide at Fort Donelson, which led to Grant's rise to fame. He attained the rank of major general, while refusing political favors and ignoring the press. Drawing on never before published letters and journals, this long overdue biography reveals Smith as a faithful officer, excellent disciplinarian, able commander and modest gentleman.

Download or read book Civil War Diary written by John William Tuttle and published by . This book was released on 1860 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Civil War diary was kept by Captain John W. Tuttle from 1860-1867. Tuttle was a Captain in the 3rd Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, Company H. The diary, missing its first page, begins on June 1, 1860 with Tuttle's description of life just prior to the War's start. He then proceeds to describe the local sentiment and political activities after the fall of Fort Sumter and his own subsequent enlistment. Tuttle saw action at Perryville, Ky., and was sidelined in 1863 at Chattanooga due to a non- battle induced broken leg. The descriptions here are from a non-combatants perspective, but by November 1863 he was back on the line at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee. The diary's descriptions continue through 1867 giving insightful accounts of military and civilian life. The Kentucky Historical Society library has a transcribed copy of the diary (Dewy number 92 T967) and a copy of the Union, The Civil War, and John W. Tuttle (1980: The Kentucky Historical Society), edited by Hambleton Tapp and James C. Klotter (Dewy number 95 T967d), in its collection.
Download or read book Yea Alabama A Rare Glimpse into the Personal Diary of the University of Alabama Volume 2 1871 through 1901 written by David M. Battles and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Alabama (UA) is one of the most prominent and fascinating universities in the United States. Volume One of this series explored UA’s 1819 birth, its formative years, its burning by Union soldiers, and its subsequent rebirth in 1871. Volume Two introduces a number of important elements into the ongoing narrative, including: the University’s continual hassle with the radical state government through 1877; a span of only seven years wherein three UA presidents either die in office or in Tuscaloosa shortly after resigning, creating a terrible period of psychological mourning that affected everyone associated with the University; the strict admission of women students, and the effect of this on the faculty, administration, and the cadets; and the establishment of student-written works including a journal, a newspaper, and a yearbook. The volume also looks at the history of unofficial student sports dating from the 1870s and the official birth in 1892 of a school-sanctioned athletic program for football and baseball, the germ of what would eventually be named the Crimson Tide, including the first twelve rocky years of the program. It also explores the successful 1900 Student Rebellion against the military style of student government, a rebellion that would rock the very soul of the school, involving the state press, the legislature, the governor, the alumni, and the citizens of Alabama, and which witnessed the fall of the commandant and eventually of the president, thus wrenching the students out of their fluctuating but often sorrowful psychological state of mind into an ever-evolving psychology and experience of success.
