Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contest for California in 1861: How Colonel E. D. Baker Saved the Pacific States to the Union A Professor in one of our leading universities, said a New York paper I received one day at my hotel in London, - I quote from memory, certain that I do not quote literally, - visiting Washington, in one of the interesting rooms of the Capitol came upon a marble statue inscribed "Baker." Whereupon - so the story ran - this learned professor - young, I dare say, probably familiar with the names of the heroes of the Peloponnesian War - asked, "Who was Baker? What did he do to get in here?" These questions prompted me to write this book. But, years before our learned professor asked his questions I had reflected that those of us who knew General Baker, who came under the spell of his incomparable charm, and who retain recollections of his power and influence and achievements, are becoming few; and if one of us is to enlighten the professor - and others no better informed - it must be done soon. I wish some one better qualified than I had undertaken the task. To write the history of an important episode is - being a plain business man I will venture to use a business man's expression and say, "out of my line." However, I feel that what I have done, though poorly, would better be done poorly than not at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Civil War in the Southwest Borderlands 1861 1867 written by Andrew E. Masich and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still the least-understood theater of the Civil War, the Southwest Borderlands saw not only Union and Confederate forces clashing but Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos struggling for survival, power, and dominance on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. While other scholars have examined individual battles, Andrew E. Masich is the first to analyze these conflicts as interconnected civil wars. Based on previously overlooked Indian Depredation Claim records and a wealth of other sources, this book is both a close-up history of the Civil War in the region and an examination of the war-making traditions of its diverse peoples. Along the border, Masich argues, the Civil War played out as a collision between three warrior cultures. Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos brought their own weapons and tactics to the struggle, but they also shared many traditions. Before the war, the three groups engaged one another in cycles of raid and reprisal involving the taking of livestock and human captives, reflecting a peculiar mixture of conflict and interdependence. When U.S. regular troops were withdrawn in 1861 to fight in the East, the resulting power vacuum led to unprecedented violence in the West. Indians fought Indians, Hispanos battled Hispanos, and Anglos vied for control of the Southwest, while each group sought allies in conflicts related only indirectly to the secession crisis. When Union and Confederate forces invaded the Southwest, Anglo soldiers, Hispanos, and sedentary Indian tribes forged alliances that allowed them to collectively wage a relentless war on Apaches, Comanches, and Navajos. Mexico’s civil war and European intervention served only to enlarge the conflict in the borderlands. When the fighting subsided, a new power hierarchy had emerged and relations between the region’s inhabitants, and their nations, forever changed. Masich’s perspective on borderlands history offers a single, cohesive framework for understanding this power shift while demonstrating the importance of transnational and multicultural views of the American Civil War and the Southwest Borderlands.

Download or read book Antebellum and Civil War San Francisco written by Monika Trobits and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Americans migrated westward, they took their politics with them, making San Francisco a microcosm of the nation as the Civil War loomed. Spurred by the promise of gold, hungry adventurers flocked to San Francisco in search of opportunity on the eve of the Civil War. The city flourished and became a magnet for theater. Some of the first buildings constructed in San Francisco were theater houses, and John Wilkes Booth’s famous acting family often graced the city’s stages. In just two years, San Francisco’s population skyrocketed from eight hundred to thirty thousand, making it an “instant city” where tensions between transplanted Northerners and Southerners built as war threatened the nation. Though seemingly isolated, San Franciscans took their part in the conflict. Some extended the Underground Railroad to their city, while others joined the Confederate-aiding Knights of the Golden Circle. Including a directory of local historic sites and streets, author Monika Trobits chronicles the dramatic and volatile antebellum and Civil War history of the City by the Bay. Includes photos
