Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dust jacket notes: "Sarah Emma Edmonds rode with the generals of the Civil War but her regiment thought she was a man and called her Franklin Thompson. In 1897 Sarah Emma Edmonds Seelye was mustered into the George B. McClellan Post, No. 9, and thus became the only woman member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Hers is an incredible story but after years of research Sylvia G.L. Dannett has verified the truth of most of the details of an astonishing masquerade in the first two years of the Civil War. This is the story of a rather pretty farm girl, a native of the province of New Brunswick, who masqueraded as a male book salesman and joined the Union army under the alias of Franklin Thompson. 'He' served as a nurse and spy and general's aide but in 1863, sick from malaria and on the verge of being unmasked, 'he' deserted and resumed female attire.

Download or read book Memoirs Of General Sherman 2nd Edition Revised And Corrected Illustrated 2 Volumes In One written by General William Tecumseh Sherman and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 1880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack - 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. Among the greatest memoirs ever produced during the 19th Century; and a classic of American Literature, the autobiography of General William Tecumseh Sherman is a fantastic read that reveals not only his experiences of the Civil War but Sherman as a man. Not Just a book for military buffs Sherman paints a picture of himself and his contemporaries that does not always fit with preconceptions; not an unfeeling monster who ignored the cost of the war that he pursued: “I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.” A firm and loyal friend to those who stuck by him, especially his close adherent the future President U.S. Grant of whom he wrote; “Grant stood by me when I was crazy and I stood by him when he was drunk and now we stand by each other.” However, perhaps understandably the majority of the memoirs relate to his great achievements as a soldier during the upheavals of the Civil War. They are as detailed and vivid as any other recollections written of the Civil War and the author displays a rare knack of explaining the operations in light of the wider struggle. Highly recommended. This edition of the great General’s memoirs is the second edition which was revised and amended from the first after inaccuracies had been corrected and as such is the definitive article.
