Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Recollections of the War of the Rebellion The incidents related in this little volume are chiefly confined to the regiment and batterv to which I belonged, and yet what. Is true of one organization whether in camp or in the field, is to a certain extent, true of others. The drill, the guard duty and the camp sports are essentially the same, and since war means killing, the methods adopted for this purpose in every action, are practicallv the same. The Twenty-third Maine Regiment served its term of enlistment in doing guard dutv on the Potomac, from Alexandria to Harper's Ferry. It had no en gagcment with the enemy, and yet the death rate was uncommonly large, thereby indicating the character of its service The Seventh Maine Battery joined the army of the Potomac in the march to the Wilder ness, and participated in all the subsequent engage ments of that gallant army. There were a number of men, including the writer, who served in both of these organizations and had the varied experience incident to both. There were no two organizations that left the State to aid in putting down the rebel lion, that contained a greater proportion of first class men than the two under consideration. Besides a large number of independent farmers, there were college graduates, merchants, mechanics. Teachers and other professional men. They enlisted from purely patriotic motives, and served with an eye single to the preservation of the Union. More than thirty years have elapsed since the regiment was organized, and many 'of those who survived the war, have since gone the way of all the earth. The scope oi this work will admit of only brief mention of any of them, but if such brief mention shall in any manner serve to keep green their memories and preserve the record of their sacrifices and heroic deeds, its preparation and its publication will not have been in vain.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honors of the Empire State in the War of the Rebellion A careful study of the records of the War of the Rebellion, long since convinced the author and compiler of this volume that due credit had never been given to the sacrifices and sufferings, the patriotism and devotion of the Empire State in the great struggle for preserving the Union. The conspicuous part taken by New York in all the great movements of the war; her magnificent contributions to the armies of the Union; her hearty cooperation in all the financial measures of the Government; her generous aid in alleviating the miseries of the conflict, - these things were, of course, known, and had been in many ways recorded and commented upon. But no single and intelligent effort had thus far been made to bring all the facts together in a compact form, or to present concisely the brilliant record made by the State in the various forms of activity necessary to the suppression of the Rebellion. It is the aim of the author to give just that general glance at New York's share in the honors and privations of the struggle, and to show briefly, but decisively, what a conspicuously honorable and glorious part she had in the triumph of the Union.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outbreak of Rebellion Upon urgent and repeated request from the publishers, the author consented to lay aside temporarily a larger and more important literary task, to write for them this initial volume of the Campaigns of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rebellion, Vol. 1 of 8 The earth has been cursed with civil wars from the earliest times in which we have records of the race. Though characterized by more or less ferocity, and assuming various shapes, they all may be divided into two general classes. Those that occur under a despotic form of government, spring from oppression which the people, no longer able to bear, venture all the terrible hazard of a resolution to throw off. Those that take place under a democratic form of government, are brought about by a few ambitious men, who seek by faction to obtain power. Those of the former class possess dignity and grandeur, from the fact that they are based on the great doctrine of human rights. Man asserting his inherent, God-given rights on the battle field against overwhelm ing odds, is a sublime spectacle. The latter are based on falsehoods, and kept alive by deception. Such were the civil wars of the early republics. In the time of Cromwell, both religious. And civil liberty were the grand prizes of the struggle; and whether we look at Hampden, calmly suffering for the sake of liberty, or at Cromwell's Ironsides, sweeping like a thunder cloud to battle, with the fearful war cry, religion, on their lips, our deepest sympathies and admiration are excited, and we forget the horrors of the carnage in the mighty stake at issue. So in the bloody revolution of France; though the views of the masses were vague, and their speech often incoherent, yet when we behold inscribed on their banner the great charter of human rights, and the head of a king thrown down as the gage of battle, we no longer see the crimson field with its garments rolled in blood, we see only the divine image of human liberty hovering over it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Ipswich in the War of the Rebellion: What Its Men and Women Did The W'ar of the Rebellion has become a matter of history. The participants in its scenes who are left to us are growing gray and bent, and as they thread our streets, we notice that their steps are less Vigorous than in their prime. The men and women, no less patriotic and ardent, who did what they could to aid and encourage those who went to the front, are also in the sere and yellow leaf, and will soon be blown from life's tree, or have already passed on to a Land of eternal peace. It is due to each of these classes, that what they did and bore for the Union should go down to their posterity. It is due to their posterity that they should receive such a legacy. That they may do so, this little book has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhode Island in the Rebellion A long preface is seldom read, and this shall be brief. It is right that the reader should know how the following letters came to be in print. The responsibility of the deed is less with the author than with many partial friends. They were written amid camp scenes and on the march, under circumstances unfavorable to literary composition, and were intended for private perusal alone. Portions of them appeared in the Providence Journal, and were received with a favor alike unexpected and gratifying. Numerous requests having been made that they should be gathered up as a Rhode Island contribution to the history of the War of the Rebellion, the author, with unaffected distrust of himself, has yielded to the judgment of others. At first, he designed to recast his correspondence, and give it the graver form of historic narrative, but time forbidding, he has exscinded unessential portions, added to it from parts "contraband" to the public at their date, and in notes drawn from official and other reliable sources, has given particulars of movements of which he was not an eye-witness. In the introduction is noted some points of great importance, viewed in their relations to subsequent events. In the Appendix will be found sketches of the Rhode Island infantry and cavalry regiments and batteries, besides other information that may hereafter be convenient for reference.

Download or read book George Washington s Nemesis written by Christian McBurney and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography attempts to set the record straight for a misunderstood military figure from the American Revolution. Historians and biographers of Charles Lee have treated him as either an enemy of George Washington or a defender of American liberty. Neither approach is accurate; objectivity is required to fully understand the war’s most complicated general. In George Washington’s Nemesis, author Christian McBurney uses original documents (some newly discovered) to combine two dramatic stories to create one balanced view of one of the Revolutionary War’s most fascinating personalities. General Lee, second in command in the Continental Army led by George Washington, was captured by the British in December, 1776. While imprisoned, he gave his captors a plan on how to defeat Washington’s army as quickly as possible. This extraordinary act of treason was not discovered during his lifetime. Less well known is that throughout his sixteen months of captivity and even after his release, Lee continued communicating with the enemy, offering to help negotiate an end to the rebellion. After Lee rejoined the Continental Army, he was given command of many of its best troops together with orders from Washington to attack British general Henry Clinton’s column near Monmouth, New Jersey. But things did not go as planned for Lee, leading to his court-martial for not attacking and for retreating in the face of the enemy. McBruney argues the evidence clearly shows Lee was unfairly convicted and had, in fact, done something beneficial. But Lee had insulted Washington, which made the matter a political contest between the army’s two top generals—only one of whom could prevail.
