The opening of the Mississippi River through the disturbed section, and the occupation of Little Rock and Fort Smith by the Federal forces, with the control of the Arkansas River from the head of navigation to its mouth, imposed upon the Commander-in-Chief of the Army the duty of deciding upon definite plans of further operations for an aggressive campaign early in the spring. In the early part of January, after obtaining the views of general officers who were familiar with military operations in the West, he determined to order the concentration of a large force on Red River for the defence of Northern and Western Louisiana, and for the purpose of operating against Texas, using the Red River as a base, with the cooperation of the navy. The troops selected for this movement were from the Department of the Gulf, under General Banks; a detachment of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Army Corps, under General A. J. Smith, from Vicksburg, and from the Department of Arkansas, under General F. Steele. In the plan of the campaign the troops of General Banks and General Smith, with the cooperation of the Mississippi Squadron, under Admiral Porter, were to concentrate at Alexandria, Louisiana, on Red River, by the middle of March, when General Banks would assume command of the land forces of the expedition. The next objective point of the campaign was Shreveport, on Red River, where the combined forces, including the troops under General Steele, from Little Rock, were to concentrate by the 1st of May. On the 1oth of March, the force of 9,200 men, under General Smith, left Vicksburg in a fleet of transports, and arrived at Alexandria on the 16th and 19th, being convoyed by Admiral Porter's fleet from the mouth of Red River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War on the Border, Vol. 2 The first volume of my "Civil War on the Border" met with such favorable reviews by the leading journals of the country, and the demand for it by the public has been such, that it has appeared to me advisable to issue the second volume of the work, the two volumes covering the field of operations in that section during the war. In saying that I am the only writer who has attempted to cover that particular field of operations during the war, I do not mean that other writers have not covered, more or less completely, particular campaigns in that section. My diaries of events relating to the war in that section for the years 1863-65 cover in outline the operations described. In the examination of several thousand witnesses in that section since the war while in the Government service investigating property and pension claims, many important facts were obtained by making extracts from depositions and using the matter where it had an appropriate bearing.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... AFTER General Lyon's army was withdrawn from Springfield and Southwest Missouri, General Price saw that if the State became one of the Confederate States, the Confederate forces should at once commence aggressive operations, and, if possible, unfurl their victorious banners in the heart of the State. He saw, too, that his army would increase in numbers from active operations, and decrease from inactivity. He proposed to march to the Missouri River and establish himself, and then to invade and lay waste Kansas, and invited General McCulloch to join him in the enterprise, with his division of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas troops. The Texas General, however, declined to move his troops any farther north. In the first place, he had little faith in the ultimate success of the expedition, and, in the next place, his ruffled pride had not been sufficiently appeased to co-operate with the Missouri General in a hearty spirit. He knew, too, that the terms of service of the most of the Arkansas troops would expire in a few weeks, and that unless they re-enlisted, the strength of his division would be materially decreased. General Price was inclined to be conciliatory, for the sake of advancing the Confederate cause in the State; but it was all to no purpose, General McCulloch was immovable. Finding that General McCulloch would not join forces with him, General Price determined to accomplish such results as were possible with his own army, --the State Guard. He left Springfield about two weeks after the battle of Wilson Creek with some ten thousand men, with the intention of taking Fort Scott, Kansas, and then marching through Kansas to the Missouri River, striking it at Kansas City. He knew that the secession element was much stronger in North and..

Download or read book The Border Between Them written by Jeremy Neely and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most bitter guerrilla conflict in American history raged along the Kansas-Missouri border from 1856 to 1865, making that frontier the first battleground in the struggle over slavery. That fiercely contested boundary represented the most explosive political fault line in the United States, and its bitter divisions foreshadowed an entire nation torn asunder. Jeremy Neely now examines the significance of the border war on both sides of the Kansas-Missouri line and offers a comparative, cross-border analysis of its origins, meanings, and consequences. A narrative history of the border war and its impact on citizens of both states, The Border between Them recounts the exploits of John Brown, William Quantrill, and other notorious guerrillas, but it also uncovers the stories of everyday people who lived through that conflict. Examining the frontier period to the close of the nineteenth century, Neely frames the guerrilla conflict within the larger story of the developing West and squares that violent period with the more peaceful--though never tranquil--periods that preceded and followed it. Focusing on the countryside south of the big bend in the Missouri River, an area where there was no natural boundary separating the states, Neely examines three border counties in each state that together illustrate both sectional division and national reunion. He draws on the letters and diaries of ordinary citizens--as well as newspaper accounts, election results, and census data--to illuminate the complex strands that helped bind Kansas and Missouri together in post-Civil War America. He shows how people on both sides of the line were already linked by common racial attitudes, farming practices, and ambivalence toward railroad expansion; he then tells how emancipation, industrialization, and immigration eventually eroded wartime divisions and facilitated the reconciliation of old foes from each state. Today the "border war" survives in the form of interstate rivalries between collegiate Tigers and Jayhawks, allowing Neely to consider the limits of that reconciliation and the enduring power of identities forged in wartime. The Border between Them is a compelling account of the terrible first act of the American Civil War and its enduring legacy for the conflict's veterans, victims, and survivors, as well as subsequent generations.
Download or read book Civil War on the Western Border 1854 1865 written by Jay Monaghan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1955-01-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first phase of the Civil War was fought west of the Mississippi River at least six years before the attack on Fort Sumter. Starting with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, Jay Monaghan traces the development of the conflict between the pro-slavery elements from Missouri and the New England abolitionists who migrated to Kansas. "Bleeding Kansas" provided a preview of the greater national struggle to come. The author allows a new look at Quantrill's sacking of Lawrence, organized bushwhackery, and border battles that cost thousands of lives. Not the least valuable are chapters on the American Indians’ part in the conflict. The record becomes devastatingly clear: the fighting in the West was the cruelest and most useless of the whole affair, and if men of vision had been in Washington in the 1850s it might have been avoided.

Download or read book Guerrilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri Volume II 1863 written by Bruce Nichols and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 1002 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thorough study of all known guerrilla operations in Civil War Missouri during 1863, the middle year of the war. This work explores the tactics with which each side attempted to gain advantage, with regional differences as influenced by the personalities of local commanders. An enormous variety of sources--military and government records, private accounts, county and other local histories, period and later newspapers, and secondary sources published after the war--are used to identify which Southern partisan leaders and groups operated in which areas of Missouri, and to describe how they operated and how their kinds of warfare evolved. The actions of Southern guerrilla forces and Confederate behind-enemy-lines recruiters are presented chronologically by region so that readers may see the relationship of seemingly isolated events to other events over a period of time in a given area. The counter-actions of an array of different types of Union troops are also covered to show how differences in training, leadership, and experiences affected behaviors and actions in the field.
