Book excerpt: For Keith Rocco the emphasis is not on the appearance of the landscape or panoramas, but rather the human drama that occurs when men are facing death, so many of his paintings focus on the moment, the incident.

Download or read book The Military Memoirs of General John Pope written by Peter Cozzens and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Union general John Pope was among the most controversial and misunderstood figures to hold major command during the Civil War. Before being called east in June 1862 to lead the Army of Virginia against General Robert E. Lee, he compiled an enviable record in Missouri and as commander of the Army of the Mississippi. After his ignominious defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run, he was sent to the frontier. Over the next twenty-four years Pope held important department commands on the western plains and was recognized as one of the army's leading authorities on Indian affairs, but he never again commanded troops in battle. In 1886, Pope was engaged by the National Tribune, a weekly newspaper published in Washington, D.C., to write a series of articles on his wartime experiences. Over the next five years, in twenty-nine installments, he wrote about the war as he had lived it. Collected here for the first time, Pope's "war reminiscences" join a select roster of memoirs written by Civil War army commanders. Pope presents a detailed review of the campaigns in which he participated and offers vivid character sketches of such illustrious figures as Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Clearly written and balanced in tone, his memoirs are a dramatic and important addition to the literature on the Civil War. Originally published in 1998.

Download or read book Tecumseh and the Prophet written by Peter Cozzens and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An insightful, unflinching portrayal of the remarkable siblings who came closer to altering the course of American history than any other Indian leaders."⁠ —H.W. Brands, author of The Zealot and the Emancipator The first biography of the great Shawnee leader to make clear that his misunderstood younger brother, Tenskwatawa, was an equal partner in the last great pan-Indian alliance against the United States. Until the Americans killed Tecumseh in 1813, he and his brother Tenskwatawa were the co-architects of the broadest pan-Indian confederation in United States history. In previous accounts of Tecumseh's life, Tenskwatawa has been dismissed as a talentless charlatan and a drunk. But award-winning historian Peter Cozzens now shows us that while Tecumseh was a brilliant diplomat and war leader--admired by the same white Americans he opposed--it was Tenskwatawa, called the "Shawnee Prophet," who created a vital doctrine of religious and cultural revitalization that unified the disparate tribes of the Old Northwest. Detailed research of Native American society and customs provides a window into a world often erased from history books and reveals how both men came to power in different but no less important ways. Cozzens brings us to the forefront of the chaos and violence that characterized the young American Republic, when settlers spilled across the Appalachians to bloody effect in their haste to exploit lands won from the British in the War of Independence, disregarding their rightful Indian owners. Tecumseh and the Prophet presents the untold story of the Shawnee brothers who retaliated against this threat--the two most significant siblings in Native American history, who, Cozzens helps us understand, should be writ large in the annals of America.

Download or read book Campaigning with Uncle Billy written by Robert I. Girardi and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-17 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Campaigning with Uncle Billy is the memoir of the service of Sgt. Lyman S. Widney of Illinois who served throughout the Civil War with the 34th Illinois Infantry. Widney's account of his wartime service is based on the diary he kept during the conflict. As a regimental clerk, he was in a position to meet many prominent people and to know the plans and thinking of the command staff. Widney's narrative is personal, highly detailed, vividly descriptive and accurate. He writes with emotion and humor. He details the life of the volunteer soldiers as they enlist, adapt to military life and learn the trade of soldiering. His descriptions of the horrors of the battlefield, its grisly aftermath and the toll that sickness exacted on the rank and file is highly personal. Through Widney's eyes we explore the countryside, tour Mammoth Cave, learn firsthand about combat and sickness and endure life in the trenches in the relentless fighting of the Atlanta Campaign and the grueling March to the Sea and through the Carolinas. Widney's memoir is a worthy addition to the literature of the Civil War from the point of view of the common soldier.

Download or read book The Soldiers General written by Paula C. Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is indeed written by the victors, and it has not been kind to the memory of Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren. The traditional image of Warren as a self-important, sullen, and cautious commander who, despite his many talents, was unreliable in a crisis was cemented into place by Gens. Phil Sheridan and Ulysses S. Grant--the two men who removed him from command. The Soldiers' General: Major General Gouverneur K. Warren and the Civil War, by Paula C. Walker and Robert I Girardi, offers readers a thorough examination of his record and a chance to weigh the facts for themselves. In May of 1864, Warren was regarded by his superiors as the best corps commander in the Army of the Potomac. One high-placed staff officer described the bold, courageous, and accomplished engineer as "the only man of inborn originality in the army." Commanding generals Joseph Hooker and George G. Meade relied upon Warren's judgment and counsel during the Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Mine Run campaigns. But something went wrong during the war's final months. After leading his corps to a decisive victory at Five Forks on April 1, 1865, General Sheridan accused Warren of deliberate slowness and timidity and with General Grant's blessing, relieved him of command. Using hundreds of primary sources and other rarely seen documents and accounts, Walker and Girardi detail Warren's military record, including his rise to corps command, removal, and subsequent fight for justice. As the record demonstrates, Sheridan and Grant despised Warren's independent nature and criticism, and ultimately manufactured excuses that led to his removal. Unfortunately for Warren, Lee's surrender and Lincoln's assassination overshadowed his plight. Warren spent the rest of his life trying to correct the historical record, but pleas for a court of inquiry were ignored or denied until Grant left the presidency. By the time a court published its findings that Sheridan's actions were unjustified, Warren was dead. The Soldiers' General: Major General Gouverneur K. Warren and the Civil War is solid military and legal history that clarifies the historical record and deserves a place on every Civil War bookshelf.

Book excerpt: This is the 11th Volume in the series Memorial Tributes compiled by the National Academy of Engineering as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding achievements of its members and foreign associates. These volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of the many contributions of engineers and engineering to the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal knowledge of the interests and the engineering accomplishments of the deceased. Through its members and foreign associates, the Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was established in 1964. Under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering was formed as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. Members are elected on the basis of significant contributions to engineering theory and practice and to the literature of engineering or on the basis of demonstrated unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology. The National Academies share a responsibility to advise the federal government on matters of science and technology. The expertise and credibility that the National Academy of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and foreign associates, our colleagues and friends, whose special gifts we remember in this book.
