Book excerpt: "Union surgeon James Dana Benton witnessed firsthand the suffering and death brought about by the ghastly wounds, infections, and diseases that wreaked havoc to both the Union and Confederate armies. A native of New York, Dr. Benton penned a series of letters throughout the war to his family relating his experiences with the 111th New York Infantry as an assistant surgeon, and later with the 98th New York as surgeon. His unique correspondence, together with insights from author Chris Loperfido, coalesce to produce Death and Disease in the Civil War: A Union Surgeon's Correspondence from Harpers Ferry to Richmond. Dr. Benton was present for some of the war's most gruesome and important battles, including Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg. He was also present at Harpers Ferry, Second Battle of Auburn, Battle of Morton's Ford, and Abraham Lincoln's second Inaugural address. His pen offers an insightful and honest look into what everyday life was like for the surgeons who tirelessly worked to save the men who risked their lives for the preservation of the nation. Loperfido's Death and Disease in the Civil War should be read by every student of the Civil War to better understand and come to grips with what awaited the wounded and the medical teams once the generals were finished with their work"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book No Flinching From Fire written by Christopher Barry and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 65th NY Volunteer infantry, trained in New York during the summer and arriving in Washington, D.C. in September 1861, saw action in most of the key battles fought by the Army of the Potomac in the Civil War. First fighting at a small skirmish at Lewinsville that very month, the regiment went on to fight at Fair Oaks/Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, and Fredericksburg in 1862. Playing a key role in the Chancellorsville campaign, marching 36 miles as part of the epic Sixth Corps march to Gettysburg, and finishing 1863 as part of the successful assault at Rappahannock Station, Virginia, the "Chasseurs" (as the men called themselves, as they began the war as the First United States Chasseurs) were in the middle of the action throughout the war. 1864 saw the regiment begin the year as prison guards at Johnson's Island, Ohio. The men would then brave General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign in the spring of 1864, facing the bloody battles of The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, before ending up in front of Petersburg, Virginia. Spending the fall of 1864 with General Philip Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley and playing key roles at the Battles of 3rd Winchester and Cedar Creek, the Chasseurs would also participate in the Breakthrough at Petersburg in early April 1865, and then in the Appomattox denouement. Using numerous soldier letters, memoirs, and official records, this book is the first history of the regiment. It reveals all the struggles, hardships, sacrifices, and bloodshed suffered by the men fighting to restore their country. Over 200 images, photos, and maps supplement and enrich this account of the 65th NY Volunteer Infantry.
