Book excerpt: Excerpt from Society of the Seventy-Fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry: Reunion Proceedings and History of the Regiment On Monday, the 3d inst., at 3 o'clock p. m., the regiment was called to order by Robert Simpson, chairman of the committee of arrangements, at the speaker's stand on the Fair Grounds, where the comrades were assembled. Lieut. John H. Nye was elected chairman, and Andrew J. Guilford secretary, of the meeting. Lieut. Nye, in a few appropriate remarks, thanked the regiment for the honor conferred in selecting him to preside, and then, with military promptness, requested that business be proceeded with. An informal and general discussion was then had upon the question of time and place of holding another reunion of the regiment, when, upon motion of C. H. C. Dagwell, it was unanimously resolved that the regiment should hold a reunion upon the Fair Grounds at Rockford, Ill., or at some other suitable place, to be designated by a committee selected at this meeting, and that such reunion he held Sept. 4, 1884. It was then resolved to effect a permanent organization, and the following officers were elected: President - Robert Simpson. Vice-President - John W. Beatson. Secretary - John H. Sherratt. Treasurer - Marcus S. Parmele. The expediency of publishing, in pamphlet form, the proceedings of this reunion was then discussed, and it was unanimously determined to undertake such publication.

Download or read book Battle of Stones River written by Larry J. Daniel and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three days of savage and bloody fighting between Confederate and Union troops at Stones River in Middle Tennessee ended with nearly 25,000 casualties but no clear victor. The staggering number of killed or wounded equaled the losses suffered in the well-known Battle of Shiloh. Using previously neglected sources, Larry J. Daniel rescues this important campaign from obscurity. The Battle of Stones River, fought between December 31, 1862, and January 2, 1863, was a tactical draw but proved to be a strategic northern victory. According to Daniel, Union defeats in late 1862 -- both at Chickasaw Bayou in Mississippi and at Fredericksburg, Virginia -- transformed the clash in Tennessee into a much-needed morale booster for the North. Daniel's study of the battle's two antagonists, William S. Rosecrans for the Union Army of the Cumberland and Braxton Bragg for the Confederate Army of Tennessee, presents contrasts in leadership and a series of missteps. Union soldiers liked Rosecrans's personable nature, whereas Bragg acquired a reputation as antisocial and suspicious. Rosecrans had won his previous battle at Corinth, and Bragg had failed at the recent Kentucky Campaign. But despite Rosecrans's apparent advantage, both commanders made serious mistakes. With only a few hundred yards separating the lines, Rosecrans allowed Confederates to surprise and route his right ring. Eventually, Union pressure forced Bragg to launch a division-size attack, a disastrous move. Neither side could claim victory on the battlefield. In the aftermath of the bloody conflict, Union commanders and northern newspapers portrayed the stalemate as a victory, bolstering confidence in the Lincoln administration and dimming the prospects for the "peace wing" of the northern Democratic Party. In the South, the deadlock led to continued bickering in the Confederate western high command and scorn for Braxton Bragg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time of the Civil War, the railroads had advanced to allow the movement of large numbers of troops even though railways had not yet matured into a truly integrated transportation system. Gaps between lines, incompatible track gauges, and other vexing impediments remained in both the North and South. As John E. Clark explains in this compelling study, the skill with which Union and Confederate war leaders met those problems and utilized the rail system to its fullest potential was an essential ingredient for ultimate victory.
