Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 12, 1865, Major General William Tecumseh Sherman and Secretary of War, Edwin McMasters Stanton met with a group of twenty freed African Americans in the city of Savannah Georgia. The purpose of the meeting was to gain an understanding of the way the men viewed their future as a free people. The result of this meeting was General Sherman's "Special Field Order Number 15."An Order which provided the emancipated people with a foundation on which to begin their new way of life. General Sherman's plan for the order and his own views on abolition have been under attack since its conception. The Forgotten Act is a comprehensive and in depth study of the circumstances and controversy around General Sherman's views of the freed people and his belief in the cause and future of the Field Order.
Download or read book Occupied Vicksburg written by Bradley R. Clampitt and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, Vicksburg, Mississippi, assumed almost mythic importance in the minds of Americans: northerners and southerners, soldier and civilian. The city occupied a strategic and commanding position atop rocky cliffs above the Mississippi River, from which it controlled the great waterway. As a result, Federal forces expended enormous effort, expense, and troops in many attempts to capture Vicksburg. The immense struggle for this southern bastion ultimately heightened its importance beyond its physical and strategic value. Its psychological significance elevated the town’s status to one of the war’s most important locations. Vicksburg’s defiance dismayed northerners and delighted Confederates, who saw command of the river as a badge of honor. Finally, after a six-week siege that involved intense military and civilian suffering amid heavy artillery bombardment, Union forces captured the “Gibraltar of the Confederacy,” ending the bloody campaign. While many historians have told the story of the fall of Vicksburg, Bradley R. Clampitt is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of life there after its capture by the United States military. In the war-ravaged town, indiscriminate hardships befell soldiers and civilians alike during the last two years of the conflict and immediately after its end. In Occupied Vicksburg, Clampitt shows that following the Confederate withdrawal, Federal forces confronted myriad challenges in the city including filth, disease, and a never-ending stream of black and white refugees. Union leaders also responded to the pressures of newly free people and persistent guerrilla violence in the surrounding countryside. Detailing the trials of blacks, whites, northerners, and southerners, Occupied Vicksburg stands as a significant contribution to Civil War studies, adding to our understanding of military events and the home front. Clampitt’s astute research provides insight into the very nature of the war and enhances existing scholarship on the experiences of common people during America’s most cataclysmic event.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sherman and His Campaigns: A Military Biography This history of Sherman's army is written in the single interest of truth. Using the authentic sources of information at our command, we have endeavored to render full and exact justice to all, and to perpetuate no errors that, under the circumstances, it was possible to avoid. It is hoped that the disadvantages usually attending the publication of a biography during the lifetime of its subject, are to some extent neutralized, in the present instance, by the co-operation in our task of many of those who themselves made the history we propose to recount. Nevertheless, and in spite of the most friendly offers of material assistance from Lieutenant-General Grant and Major-General Sherman; from the army commanders, Thomas, Howard, Slocum, and Schofield; from Major-Generals Logan, Blair, and Jefferson C. Davis; brevet Major-General Kilpatrick, brevet Brigadier-General Hickenlooper, of the staff of the lamented McPherson, and from very many other officers whose names we cannot now give at length, several of whom generously tendered free access to their reports, journals, and private letter-books; the editors cannot but feel that, on many points of interest, their work is lacking in those details essential to historical completeness, which time alone can supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Sherman General Sherman was the most picturesque figure in the civil war. His character was absolutely pure and spotless. He had a vigorous and penetrating intellect, prompt and clear in comprehension and in decision. While steadfast in his opinions, he was subordinate in conduct; he held to his judgment in issue against President Lincoln, but yielded as unquestioning obedience to Mc-Clernand as to Grant. He was an omnivorous reader, and was a storehouse of felicitous anecdote. His cheerful disposition and inexhaustible fund of conversation made him always a delightful companion. Frank as a child and outspoken in his likes and dislikes, Sherman was often engaged in controversy. The war filled only a few years of his life, but comprised most of his activity and achievements. Accordingly, his biography naturally groups itself into these parts - before, during, and after the war, and so it is written, in the following pages. The effort in this narrative has been to give in the simplest form a statement of the facts without comment. The completion of the publication of the First Series of the War Records gives opportunity for a fair approximation to a correct statement.

Sherman, Vol. 2 of 2 Enable them to regain the influence they had lost; and, as a general reorganization of all the armies was then necessary, he directed me to keep in mind especially the claims Of Generals Buell, mccook, and Crittenden, and endeavor to give them commands that would be as near their rank and dates of com mission as possible; but I was to do nothing until I heard further from him on the subject, as he explained that he would have to consult the Secretary Of War before making finai orders. General Buell and his officers had been subjected to a long ordeal by a court of inquiry, touching their conduct of the campaign in Tennessee and Kentucky, that resulted in the battle of Perry ville, or Chaplin's Hills, October 8, 1862, and they had been substantially acquitted; and, as it was manifest that we were to have some hard fighting, we were anxious to bring into harmony every man and every officer of skill in the profession of arms. Of these, Generals Buell and mcclellan were prominent in rank, and also by reason of their fame acquired in Mexico, as well as in the earlier part Of the civil war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Sherman in the Last Year of the Civil War: An Address Delivered at the Thirty-Eighth Reunion of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee at St. Louis, Missouri In pursuance of this plan, in April, 1864, Sherman's army moved out from Chattanooga against the Con federate army, numbering at first about but soon reinforced to men, then commanded by General Joseph E. Johnston; and, after five months of desper ate and continuous fighting and a loss of over killed, wounded and missing, it captured Atlanta. This campaign was replete with technical military features, which I am incompetent to describe, but with which many of you are sufficiently familiar. I can, however, tell you a story that gives some idea of its character. When I was a small boy I was generally told that the Rebels under Johnston, ran away. At first I took this literally; but later, some doubts arising in my mind, I asked my father if they really ran away. Yes, he answered. But, I again inquired, did they really run, or did they walk? Oh, that is what you mean, is it, he replied, why, they walked, and they walked almighty slow, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
