Download or read book Battery B the Diary of a Soldier Second Edition written by David Butt and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The America of the 1860s - a young nation at war within itself. As young men rushed forward to fight, many to die and many more to be wounded and maimed, a farming community in Western Pennsylvania offered up its sons to form a light artillery battery in the Pennsylvania Reserves. Among them were three brothers, one of whom on arrival in Washington purchased a diary to record his experiences in the first vital year of a war that defined a nation. 150 years later, that diary forms the basis of this story of the war in the Eastern Zone, of the commanders, the battles, the wins and losses. Most of all, it tells the tale of what became known and has since been commemorated as Cooper's Battery B. And of the ""great Slaughter"" that engulfed them and those around them.
Download or read book Historical Sketch and Roster of the Kentucky Light Artillery Independent Battery B written by John C. Rigdon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The men of Battery or Hewitt's Battery were recruited by Capt. Hewitt for infantry service, but as an artillery company was needed, it was drilled for that service, and was mustered as such by Gen. Thomas October 8, 1861. At that early period of the war it was under Gen. Thomas, and was used in the parts of the state about Somerset, Columbia and toward Cumberland river. Technically this unit was the Kentucky 3rd Artillery Regiment, Company B, but it was generally known as an independent Battery. The career of this battery was most useful and honorable, beginning with Gen. Thomas, when he was contending with Zollicoffer's forces in Eastern Kentucky, it faithfully obeyed every order and bravely discharged every duty it was called upon to perform for full three years of active field service. While the Battery was at Murfeesboro, the place was attacked by Forrest, and a part of the Federal forces, was captured. At this time Battery B lost two guns. The battery fired four hundred and ninety three rounds.

Download or read book Rhody Redlegs written by Robert Grandchamp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed in 1801 to protect sea captains against attack from the British navy and Barbary Pirates, the Providence Marine Corps of Artillery remains one of the most famed regiments in the U.S. Army. It distinguished itself during the War of 1812, the Dorr Rebellion, and in nearly every major engagement of the Civil War. After assuming the identity of the 103d Field Artillery Regiment of the Rhode Island National Guard, the unit battled amid the carnage of the Western Front in World War I, fought the enemy in the mosquito- infested South Pacific islands during World War II, and weathered the scorching deserts of Iraq in the twenty-first century. Based on extensive primary research and interviews with veterans of the corps, this narrative offers an insider's look at the illustrious regiment in its first full history.

Book excerpt: When Christopher Madsen made the snap decision-perhaps a rash decision-to buy and renovate the famous 1916 racing yacht for which this story is named, he could scarcely have imagined the consequences that were to follow. During the renovation Madsen's investigation of the original owner, New York senator Holland Sackett Duell, uncovered a remarkable true life 1920s adventure and love story; one which fully brings to life the era and flair of Gatsby and Hemmingway yet, by contrast, Rowdy is completely true, historically significant and meticulously documented in support of the authenticity. The reader first walks in Duell's footsteps as he departs New York in 1918 to participate in the Great War (the most detailed accounting ever written on New York's 306th Field Artillery, 77th Division). Highly decorated upon return, the adventure continues as Duell is immersed in politics at the highest level, the birth of Hollywood, sailing competitions with some of the richest men in America, fortunes and mansions and love affairs as well as scandalous affairs. A newly unearthed gem in American history, Rowdy will enjoyably transport the reader back in time to the Golden Age of Yachting-AND EVER SO MUCH MORE!A multi-award winning story and a beautiful coffee table book; 8 A1/2 X 11 hardcover with the look of worn, vintage leather, gold leaf stamping, rounded spine woven burgundy book mark.

Download or read book Army of the Potomac written by Russel H. Beatie and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of this masterful Civil War history series covers the pivotal early months of General George McClellan’s Peninsula Campaign. As he did in his first two volumes of this magisterial series, Russel Beatie tells the story largely through the eyes and from the perspective of high-ranking officers, staff officers, and politicians. This study is based upon extensive firsthand research (including many previously unused and unpublished sources) that rewrites the history of Little Mac’s inaugural effort to push his way up the peninsula and capture Richmond in one bold campaign. In meticulous fashion, Beatie examines many heretofore unknown, ignored, or misunderstood facts and events and uses them to evaluate the campaign in the most balanced historical context to date. Every aspect of these critically important weeks is examined, from how McClellan’s Urbanna plan unraveled and led to the birth of the expedition that debarked at Fort Monroe in March 1862, to the aftermath of Williamsburg. To capture the full flavor of their experiences, Beatie employs the “fog of war” technique, which puts the reader in the position of the men who led the Union army. The Confederate adversaries are always present but often only in shadowy forms that achieve firm reality only when we meet them face-to-face on the battlefield. Well written, judiciously reasoned, and extensively footnoted, McClellan’s First Campaign will be heralded as the seminal work on this topic. Civil War readers may not always agree with Beatie’s conclusions, but they will concur that his account offers an original examination of the Army of the Potomac’s role on the Virginia peninsula. “If you want to understand the war in the east, this series is essential.” —Civil War Books and Authors

Book excerpt: Boys of Battery B tells the story of an air mobile artillery unit operating in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. These are the adventures of everyday life in the field from the guys who served, not a neat chronology of historical facts. For some this is the first time they've talked about Vietnam, waiting over half a century to let the memories flow. When they talk of Vietnam, especially among other veterans, they become boys again. You can't make these stories up: They careen from the funny to the tragic, from heroic to the wildly crazy, and all poured out with the hot-blooded passion of youth. In a bar outside Ft. Sill during an artillery reunion, bunch of rowdy B Battery guys were at the next table. They were laughing and pounding the table as the beer bottles piled up. That was the inspiration for this book. To place the reader at the next table to listen in. B Battery, 5/27 Field Artillery, arrived in Vietnam from Oakland, CA on October 29, 1965 aboard the USS J.C. Breckinridge. The stories begin there, and continue to its departure from the field on July 5, 1971. The battery operated in the Central Highlands of II Corps, first attached to the 101st Airborne, and later assigned to First Field Force. These stories are based on taped interviews of forty-seven men who served with the battery throughout its time in Vietnam, containing pictures and documents each man brought back. They adhere closely to exact interview transcripts, so as to preserve each soldier's unique personality, perspective and way of speaking. In the absence of verified facts or strong circumstantial evidence, different ways of remembering the same event were allowed to stand, encouraged in fact. The spirit of the collection is this: How the veteran remembers is the most important fact of all.
Download or read book The Artillery of Gettysburg written by Bradley M. Gottfried and published by Cumberland House Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 marked the turning point of the American Civil War. The apex of the Confederacy's final major invasion of the North, the devastating defeat also marked the end of the South's offensive strategy against the North. From this battle until the end of the war, the Confederate armies largely remained defensive. The Artillery of Gettysburg is a thoughtful look at the role of the artillery during the July 1?3, 1863 conflict. Bradley M. Gottfried provides insight into how the two armies employed their artillery, how the different kinds of weapons functioned in battle, and the strategies for using each of them. He shows how artillery affected the ebb and flow of battle for both armies and thus provides a unique way of understanding the strategies of the Federal and Union commanders.
