Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iron Brigade: A Story of the Army of the Potomac They were paddling idly down the stream - two young men and a girl. She lay luxuriously back upon the cushions in the stern sheets, the tiller ropes hanging loosely from her slender white hands, her soft blue eyes fixed tenderly upon the fine face of the oarsman nearest her - a youth whose lithe, agile form swayed slowly to and fro in harmony with the swing of the long, light sculls. The wooded shores, the rural beauty of the scene, passed unnoticed. Something of absorbing interest kept "all eyes in the boat." Stroke and bow were in animated if not actually heated discussion, and the dark brown eyes that earlier in the afternoon seemed ever seeking those of liquid blue before him, were now turned, sometimes to port, sometimes to starboard, sometimes over the squared shoulders, flashing on the man in front - a young athlete with eyes as blue and hair and skin well-nigh as fair as those of the girl at the helm. He of the stroke sculls, on the contrary, was tawny, almost, as a son of the tropics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General's Double: A Story of the Army of the Potomac My dear Sir, - The colonel has received your letter asking for the full particulars of the death of your gallant son, one of the last to fall on that fatal Sunday afternoon. I am spending the morning at the bedside of my commanding officer, for he himself is flat on his back, disabled by his wounds, and he has asked me to reply. The papers have told you how hopefully we marched from Centreville, and with what enthusiasm the attack began. Of course, we know now that it was intended that General Hunter's column should open the ball much earlier in the morning, and that the heights back of the turnpike should have been assaulted soon after sunrise, but it seemed nearly noon before our brigade commander led us through the ford and we pitched in to the support of the attack. You have read, too, how successful we were at first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Original Iron Brigade written by Thomas J. Reed and published by Fairleigh Dickinson. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Nolan's 1961 Iron Brigade, the classic study of Brigadier General John Gibbon's Black Hat Brigade composed of the 19th Indiana, the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin and the 24th Michigan, drew public attention to the superior unit during the Civil War Centennial. Since then, much has been written about Gibbon's Iron Brigade but nothing has published on the original Iron Brigade from which Gibbon's brigade inherited it name. In The Original Iron Brigade, author Thomas Reed discusses the history of the 1st Brigade,1st Division, 1st Corps, Army of the Potomac, composed of three New York two year regiments, the 22nd, 34th, and 30th New York Infantry, the 14th Brooklyn Militia (84th New York Infantry) and the 2nd United States Sharpshooters. The brigade's story begins with the 14th Brooklyn's role during the First Battle of Manassas in 1861 and ends with the disbanding of the brigade in June 1863. Based on original unpublished diaries and letters of the men of the brigade, this book describes how the Original Iron Brigade earned its name by its hard marching during the spring of 1862. The brigade attacked Stonewall Jackson's troops along the unfinished railroad line during the Second Battle of Manassas, stormed Turner's Gap during the Battle of South Mountain, and attacked Stonewall Jackson's men again at the Dunker Church in the Battle of Antietam.

With the aid Of those who were active participants in the two contending armies, and the guidance of the completed Rebellion Records, I have endeavored to submit a history free from bias, and as justly correct as I could.
