Late in his life, at a time when many former soldiers, both Union and Confederate, were reliving their memories of that event, Holt penned this memoir, recounting the idyllic life of an affluent southern boy before the war and the exhilarating, sometimes humorous, often terrifying experiences of a common soldier in camp and in battle. This new edition has been expanded to include Holt's never-before-published diary entries from the last year of the war.

Book excerpt: The Mississippi 37th Infantry Regiment was organized during the spring of 1862 with men recruited in the counties of Clarke, Lowndes, Greene, De Soto, Jasper, and Claiborne. After participating in numerous battles in Mississippi the unit was assigned to General Hebert's Brigade in the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. It was captured when Vicksburg fell and during the siege it lost 17 killed, 56 wounded, and 7 missing. Exchanged, the regiment contained 26 officers and 442 men in December, 1863. It then served under Generals Mackall, Cantey, and Featherston in the Army of Tennessee. The 37th fought in the Atlanta Campaign, endured Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and ended the war in North Carolina. It reported 5 killed and 27 wounded of the 453 engaged at Iuka, had 19 killed and 62 wounded at Corinth, and sustained 81 casualties at Hatchie's Bridge. Many were disabled in Tennessee, and early in 1865 its ten companies were reduced to three and the unit was redesignated the 37th Battalion. It surrendered in April.Company A -- Patton's Company Mississippi Boys (raised in Clarke & Lauderdale Counties, MS)Company B -- McLain Rifles (raised in Clarke County, MS)Company C -- Clarke County Rescuers (raised in Clarke County, MS)Company D - Enterprise Guards (Tigers) - Clarke CountyCompany E -- Shubuta Guards (raised in Clarke County, MS)Company F -- DeSoto Rifles (raised in Clarke County, MS)Company G -- Yancey Guards (raised in Smith County, MS)Company H -- Jasper Avengers (raised in Jasper County, MS)Company I -- McLemore Guards (raised in Lauderdale County, MS)Company K -- Jasper Guards (raised in Jasper County, MS)
Download or read book The Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment An Introduction to the Full Annotated Roster written by Michael R. Brasher and published by History of the Second Mississi. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment had more individuals cited for bravery in battle (the Confederate Roll of Honor) than any other regiment in Confederate service? Its first commander was William C. Falkner, great-grandfather of the famous author William C. Faulkner (the author changed the spelling of the family last name). Its second and last commander was John Marshall Stone, later governor of Mississippi. The Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment was one of hardest hitting infantry regiments in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Although there existed, of course, famous brigades, divisions, and even corps, the individual Confederate fighting man always identified most closely with his regiment. This is an introduction to the story of one such regiment, the 2nd Mississippi Infantry Volunteers, that served in the Army of Northern Virginia. It fought in most of the Virginia army's major battles, being detached and absent only at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The 2nd Mississippi met its final demise a week before Lee's surrender at Appomattox when it was overwhelmed by the Federal breakthrough of the Petersburg defenses on April 2, 1865 along the banks of a stream called Hatcher's Run. The cover photo is a photo of the actual regimental battle flag (colors) they were carrying when captured. This first volume in an intended series on the history of the Second Mississippi Infantry Regiment includes a introduction to the regiment's organization and makeup, an annotated roster of all identifiable 1,888 members who served, and a special section on those members who were named to the Confederate Roll of Honor for bravery in battle.

Download or read book Guide to the Vicksburg Campaign written by Leonard Fullenkamp and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the same week that Union forces triumphed at Gettysburg, they also captured the river fortress at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Although much less memorialized than Gettysburg, the fall of Vicksburg was every bit as crucial to the Union cause. Pitting Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman against John Pemberton and Joseph Johnston, the victorious Vicksburg Campaign helped revive a war-weary North, gave it absolute control of the Mississippi River, severed the western Confederacy from the East, and further constricted the South's ability to wage war as the Union drove ever deeper into its heartland. It also gave Grant-the campaign's chief architect-a dramatic venue for demonstrating his maturing skills and intelligence as a strategist and field commander. Unlike other volumes in the U.S. Army War College Guides to Civil War Battles series, this one examines an entire campaign, looking at many interlinked battles and joint Army-Navy operations as they played out over seven months and thousands of square miles of rivers, streams, swamps, lakes, forests, hills, and plains surrounding Vicksburg. In addition to detailed coverage of the actual Siege of Vicksburg, the book also chronicles the battles at Jackson, Port Gibson, Raymond, Champions Hill, and Big Black Ridge. Like the other volumes in the series, this one combines eyewitness accounts with maps, illustrations, and tour directions to illuminate the events for both tourists and arm-chair travellers. For anyone interested in learning more about this relatively neglected but pivotal Civil War campaign, the Guide to the Vicksburg Campaign is must reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Mississippi's Civil War experience. It begins with an introductory overview of the socio-political climate of the state during the1850s and ends with a treatment of Mississippi's post-war environment and the rise of Lost Cause mythology. In between, the work covers the pivotal events, issues, and personalities of the period. Wynne emphasizes the experiences of Mississippians?male and female, black and white?as they struggled to deal with the crisis. The political events leading to seces-sion, Mississippians? initial enthusiasm for war, voices of dissent, the disbursement of troops in and out of the state, the home front, freedom for the slave community, waning enthusiasm (both in the military and on the home front) as the war dragged on, defeat, and the ultimate struggle to turn defeat into a moral victory through Lost Cause mythology are also discussed. This book makes significant contributions to Civil War literature.
