Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of John Sherman Cheered by the presence of his wife and child, Charles Robert Sherman rapidly rose to eminence as an eloquent advocate, as a judicious, reliable counselor. His professional character was spotless, and while he would refuse clients, when his conscience would not permit him to screen their wrong-doings, he was always ready to plead the cause of the innocent and oppressed without reward. White devoted to his professional, he extended his reading beyond his law books, and was generally versed in the literature of the day. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and filled the highest offices in the grand bodies of that order in Ohio. During the pioneer years of Ohio, tradition records that its always were obliged to travel over extensive circuits in practicing their profession. They were accustomed to accompanying the courts from country to country, and in this way to traverse a large extent of country. Those early days also commemorated the warmest personal friendship in the profession, as its members were forced into the most intimate companionship. They rode together on horseback, their saddle-bags stuffed with briefs, documents, law books, clothing, and generally some creature delectation also. They were exposed in common to the same inclemencies and impediments of travel; they 'lodged together at the same taverns, eat at the same tables and slept in the rooms, generally two in the same bed. Manly, jovial, and free-hearted, after a hard fought day of professional antagonisms in court, they would crowd the evening hours with social amenities winged with wit merriment, with pathos, sentiment and song. In 1823, Mr. Charles R. Sherman was elected by the Legislature of Ohio to the Bench of the Supreme Court; and perhaps the only man in the State who doubted his ability for this high position was himself. If expressed fears that he lacked the ripe experience of years necessary to hear and determine cases of magnitude in a court of last resort; but he fully realized the large expectations of his professionals friends and the public. His written opinions, published in Hammond's Reports of the supreme Court of Ohio, demonstrated a mind of the choicest legal capabilities. They are clear, compact, comprehensive and conclusive, and have since been respected by the bar and the courts in Ohio and other States as judicial opinions of the highest authority. Judge Sherman won upon the Bench, as he had at the Bar, the affection and confidence of his professional associates. They esteemed him for his gentle and genial ways, for the brilliant flashes of his mind, and the solid strength of his judgement; and, above all, for the stainless integrity of his character as a judge and as a man. The Supreme Court was then, under the provisions of the constitution, required to hold an annual term in each country of the State, two of the judges officiating. In every court room in Ohio where Judge Sherman presided he made friends. His official robes were worn by him as the customary habiliments, and he was never haughty, austere, or overbearing on the bench. He had thus entered upon the sixth year of his official term, in the full fruition of his matured, intellectual powers, and in the enjoyment of apparently robust physical health, when, as he was about to hold a session of the Supreme Court at Lebanon, he was suddenly, and without any premonition, stricken down with a fatal malady. The best medical aid was promptly summoned from Cincinnati, but in vain. A messenger hastened to Lancaster for Mrs. Sherman, but before she could reach Lebanon her husband had breathed his last. He died on the 24th of June, in the forty-first year of his age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Book excerpt: Sherman: A Soldier’s Passion for Order is the premier biography of William Tecumseh Sherman, the Civil War commander known for his “destructive war” policy against Confederates and as a consummate soldier. This updated edition of John F. Marszalek’s award-winning book presents the general as a complicated man who, fearing anarchy, searched for the order that he hoped would make his life a success. Sherman was profoundly influenced by the death of his father and his subsequent relationship with the powerful Whig politician Thomas Ewing and his family. Although the Ewings treated Sherman as one of their own, the young Sherman was determined to make it on his own. He graduated from West Point and moved on to service at military posts throughout the South. This volume traces Sherman’s involvement in the Mexican War in the late 1840s, his years battling prospectors and deserting soldiers in gold-rush California, and his 1850 marriage to his foster sister, Ellen. Later he moved to Louisiana, and, after the state seceded, Sherman returned to the North to fight for the Union. Sherman covers the general’s early Civil War assignments in Kentucky and Missouri and his battles against former Southern friends there, the battle at Shiloh, and his rise to become second only to Grant among the Union leadership. Sherman’s famed use of destructive war, controversial then and now, is examined in detail. The destruction of property, he believed, would convince the Confederates that surrender was their best option, and Sherman’s successful strategy became the stuff of legend. This definitive biography, which includes forty-six illustrations, effectively refutes misconceptions surrounding the controversial Union general and presents Sherman the man, not the myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a quantitative approach, Allan G. Bogue assesses the nature of radical and conservative Republicanism in the Civil War Senate, documents the distinctions among the senators, and clarifies the factors that encouraged or discouraged factionalism. The Earnest Men is divided into two parts: "Men, Context, and Patterns" and "The Substance of Disagreement." In Part One, Bogue investigates the backgrounds of the senators and the institutional structure of the Senate, and he examines the character of leadership exercised in the Senate chamber. He then uses roll-call analysis as a means of establishing distinctions between radical and moderate senators. To account for their voting patterns, he considers living arrangements, seating, regionalism, and election results.In Part Two, Bogue looks closely at the debates in the Senate in order to ascertain the nature of disagreements between radical and moderate Republicans in such policy-making areas as slavery, taxation, human rights, punishment and rehabilitation, and legislation affecting the border states. Taking issue with the idea that the Republicans were essentially unified on the issues of the day, he finds that their differences were widespread and important. A major study of the Senate in one of its most productive periods, The Earnest Men is a remarkable combination of systematic analysis and narrative history.

Download or read book States at War Volume 5 written by Richard F. Miller and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War States and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This crucial reference book, the fifth in the States at War series, provides vital information on the organization, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Ohio during the Civil War. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant-general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, federal and state executive speeches and proclamations, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use by professional historians and amateurs, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual stateÕs war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.
