This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir of the Life and Public Service of Joseph E. Johnston: Once the Quartermaster General of the Army of the United States, and a General in the Army of the Confederate States of America This sketch, written in a light-cavalry ga110p, does not pretend to give detail of his campaigns or his battles; it only seeks to give a general view of military operations, that can be taken in at a glance. The particular description of the movements of tr00ps, of the hour they started, of the route they took, of the minute of their arrival, is, I think, inexpressibly tedious and confusing, except to the technical and professional student. I have, therefore, only tried to present a picture, and a map, together with a photograph of the General, as we all knew him, and as we want posterity to appreciate him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Stonewall" Jackson, Late General of the Confederate States Army: A Biographical Sketch, and an Outline of His Virginian Campaigns Good and brave though he was, General Jackson did not stand alone in his shining qualities as a Confederate soldier. Much as we lament him, writes an admiring friend, and genuine Southerner, we have others left. Those of our own country men who are writing from the Confederate States, bear frequent witness of this, and tell us how the affection and confidence that culminated upon the head of Stonewall Jackson, instead of being dispersed at his death, have descended to General Lee, of whom Jackson himself spoke thus There is one General whom I would willingly follow blindfold, and whose most dubious strategy I would execute without question or hesitation; and that is, General Robert E.

Download or read book General Kirby Smith Classic Reprint written by Arthur Howard Noll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Kirby-Smith IN april, 1865, when the news of the surrender of General Lee reached a small town in New Jersey, a boy of ten years, who participated in the rejoicing with which the news was received, was prompted to ask if all the Confederate Generals had surrendered, and if the war were actually ended. He was informed that there were several general officers who had not surrendered, and among them was mentioned General kirby-smith. This name fixed itself upon the mind of the boy. Listening attentively to the discussions he heard among his elders at the time, he learned something more about the Confederate General, the oddity of whose name had the effect of making him a hero in the boy's mind. He learned that this Con federate General had been, since early in 1863, in su preme command of what was known as the Trans Mississippi Department of the Confederate Army; that the Department included Texas, Louisiana, Ar kansas and the Indian Territory; that he had organized a government there and had made that government.

Download or read book I Rode with Jeb Stuart written by H. B. McClelland and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major-General J.E.B. Stuart (1833-1864) was one of the Confederacy’s greatest horsemen, soldiers, and heroes. As early as First Manassas (Bull Run) he contributed significantly to the Confederate victory, he subsequently displayed his daring and brilliance in the battles of Second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Brandy Station—the most significant cavalry battle of the war, and Stuart’s finest moment. General Lee depended on Stuart for knowledge of the enemy for, as he said, Stuart never brought him a piece of false information. But Stuart was mortally wounded at Yellow Tavern in May, 1864. Not since the death of Stonewall Jackson had the South sustained so great a personal loss, his rollicking, infectious gaiety and hard fighting were sorely missed in the grim last days of Lee’s army. By all accounts, I Rode with Jeb Stuart is the most reliable and persuasive portrait of Stuart offered by a contemporary, and is indispensable for any thorough knowledge of the great Confederate cavalryman. “This book, which is both biography and memoir, is the richest source on the Civil War career of the plumed knight of the Army of Northern Virginia, Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart. Though it has been out of print for generations, it is still read, and has fairly won its way onto the shelf of ‘classics’ of the war....It is by all odds the most reliable account of Stuart and his horsemen left by Stuart’s intimates....A reader who rides with Stuart through the Gettysburg campaign, until the Confederate infantry is safely south of the swollen Potomac, is not likely to forget the experience. In the light of McClellan’s narrative the ancient, wearying Confederate controversies over Gettysburg seem to lose a great deal of their importance.”—Burke Davis, Introduction, I Rode with Jeb Stuart

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Campaigns of General Lee This must be the translator's plea to justify him in the course he has taken. He is well aware of the existence of more than one life of General Lee, compiled in English but they were written by Americans, published in America, and, therefore, are more or less imbued with the American style and mode of feeling. So far, they are unsuitable to European taste. They are, besides, long, and somewhat tiresome in their description of battles, and in their general minuteness of details.

Download or read book The Campaign of Gettysburg Classic Reprint written by Walter E. Day and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of Gettysburg Firstly: It is a recognised maxim Of war that decisive results can never be Obtained by the main tenance Of a simple defensive. As the war went on, the people Of the Northern States showed a deter mination and constancy Of purpose, for which their opponents had not formerly given them credit, and it was now manifest that their resolution to compel the submission of the seceded States would never slacken, until their last dollar had been spent, and their last man put into the field. The wealth Of the North was boundless, her resources immense. In a contest Of endurance the South must inevitably be beaten. Her only chance lay in striking some staggering blow at her opponent, such as the capture Of Washington, or the destruction Of the Army Of the Potomac, which would convince the North that the struggle was hopeless, and would force her to come to terms. To achieve this result an Offensive campaign was necessary. Secondly While the recent events in Virginia had been uniformly favourable to the Southern arms, the situation in the Western theatre Of war was very gloomy. Vicksburg, the great Confederate fortress on the Mississippi, was closely besieged by the Federalforces under General Grant. Attempts to relieve it from the East by General Johnston and from the trans Mississippi States by Kirby Smith had failed, and it was now evident that unless a diversion could be made Vicksburg must fall. This might be effected by an invasion Of Maryland or Pennsylvania, so as to threaten Washington and Baltimore. Both Presi dent Davis and General Lee knew well how sensitive the Federal Cabinet was in regard to the safety Of the Capital, and a Confederate Victory on Northern soil would almost certainly force the President to draw large reinforcements from the Western armies, and so relieve the pressure on Vicksburg.
