Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “War means fighting, and fighting means killing,” Confederate cavalry commander Nathan Bedford Forrest famously declared. The Civil War was fundamentally a matter of Americans killing Americans. This undeniable reality is what Jonathan Steplyk explores in Fighting Means Killing, the first book-length study of Union and Confederate soldiers’ attitudes toward, and experiences of, killing in the Civil War. Drawing upon letters, diaries, and postwar reminiscences, Steplyk examines what soldiers and veterans thought about killing before, during, and after the war. How did these soldiers view sharpshooters? How about hand-to-hand combat? What language did they use to describe killing in combat? What cultural and societal factors influenced their attitudes? And what was the impact of race in battlefield atrocities and bitter clashes between white Confederates and black Federals? These are the questions that Steplyk seeks to answer in Fighting Means Killing, a work that bridges the gap between military and social history—and that shifts the focus on the tragedy of the Civil War from fighting and dying for cause and country to fighting and killing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Civil War, 1861 to 1865: The 31st Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Michigan. Why we were stationed here for the winter I knew not and never did know. The boys all thought it a very strange move for a regiment the size of the 3rst Wisconsin. In those days we had to obey orders. Soon the snow began to fall. Our Col., I. E. Messmore, was a fine drill master, and if at any time in your life you ever stood on the banks of that beautiful lake, when the snow was from one foot to eighteen inches deep, and the weather man marked it fifteen below zero, you can imagine our regiment, in round numbers 1100 men, officers and all on batallion drill for two hours, and dress parade in the afternoon. He would make us do all movements on double write, then he would make us many brave speeches and ask us if we would follow him to the tannon's mouth. Of course we were all anxious and said we will - but you will see later how near he went to the cannon's mouth. On February 28th, (863. As the Colonel had the regiment on dress parade, he said: If there is one or more who does not want to go South, step two paces to the front. One came to the front - his head was shaved, a pair of wooden shoes put on his feet and dressed in an old suit of citizen's clothes. The band played the rogues' march until he had passed the guard lines of Camp Utley. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
