Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nineteenth Illinois: A Memoir of a Regiment of Volunteer Infantry Famous in the Civil War of Fifty Years Ago for Its Drill, Bravery, and Distinguished Services At a Regimental Reunion of the Nineteenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, held under the auspices of the Regiment's Veteran Club, in Memorial Hall, Chicago, October 13 and 14, 1911, it was unanimously voted to have something in the way of a History, or Memoir, of the old organization prepared and published as soon as possible. The following comrades were present at this meeting: Company A - John E. Vreeland, James Gaffney, John Q. Fergus, Robert R. Sampson, James Bloomfield, Joseph M. Spahn, and J. F. Nelson; Company C - James C. McElhose, Frank Applebee, John Ives, and Miles Martin; Company D - J. Henry Haynie, and John Marshall; Company E - David F. Bremner, John Young, David McArthur, Thomas King, and Thomas H. Agnew; Company F - A. F. Scharf; Company H - John Dedrick, C. Van Order, and John Mereer; Company I - D. B. Morehouse, Howard F. Beardsley, and Charles G. Heath; Company K - George Eckart, James Fenton, Andrew Burns, William H. Christian, Albert Heller, August Brinkman, and William Butler. In the fraternal, yet animated, discussion which prevailed it was stated that such a history had been comtemplated from time to time. Finally, it was fittingly decided that a "Memoir" was a much desired purpose of thus Regimental Reunion, and, toward accomplishing this work, a committee of three were chosen to gather in all information possible. Comrade Haynie, of Company D, now a resident of Newton Center, Massachusetts, - this was his first attendance since the members of the Nineteenth have been holding these gatherings - offered his professional services in the carrying out of this commendable attempt; and, by taking the material thus secured, adding to the same his own researches, knowledge, and recollections, and putting the whole into proper shape for publication, both he and the Committee now have the great pleasure of submitting the results of their joint labors in the present volume.

Download or read book William S Rosecrans and the Union Victory written by David G. Moore and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first biography of Union General William S. Rosecrans in more than fifty years. It tells the story of his military successes and the important results that led to the Union victory in the Civil War: winning the first major campaign of the war in West Virginia in 1861; victories in northeastern Mississippi that made the Vicksburg Campaign possible; gaining the victory without which Abraham Lincoln said the "nation could scarcely have lived over"; conducting two brilliant campaigns in Tennessee and fighting the battle of Chickamauga (giving permanent possession of Chattanooga to the federals); defending Missouri from an invasion in 1864. The book also attempts to explain why Rosecrans was removed four times despite his military successes and examines the important part politics played in the war. Additionally it reveals a man who promoted many advances in medical care, transportation and cartography; a man interested in engineering as well as theology.

Download or read book River of Death The Chickamauga Campaign written by William Glenn Robertson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Chickamauga was the third bloodiest of the American Civil War and the only major Confederate victory in the conflict's western theater. It pitted Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee against William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland and resulted in more than 34,500 casualties. In this first volume of an authoritative two-volume history of the Chickamauga Campaign, William Glenn Robertson provides a richly detailed narrative of military operations in southeastern and eastern Tennessee as two armies prepared to meet along the "River of Death." Robertson tracks the two opposing armies from July 1863 through Bragg's strategic decision to abandon Chattanooga on September 9. Drawing on all relevant primary and secondary sources, Robertson devotes special attention to the personalities and thinking of the opposing generals and their staffs. He also sheds new light on the role of railroads on operations in these landlocked battlegrounds, as well as the intelligence gathered and used by both sides. Delving deep into the strategic machinations, maneuvers, and smaller clashes that led to the bloody events of September 19@–20, 1863, Robertson reveals that the road to Chickamauga was as consequential as the unfolding of the battle itself.
Download or read book Engineering Victory written by Thomas F. Army Jr. and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superior engineering skills among Union soldiers helped ensure victory in the Civil War. Engineering Victory brings a fresh approach to the question of why the North prevailed in the Civil War. Historian Thomas F. Army, Jr., identifies strength in engineering—not superior military strategy or industrial advantage—as the critical determining factor in the war’s outcome. Army finds that Union soldiers were able to apply scientific ingenuity and innovation to complex problems in a way that Confederate soldiers simply could not match. Skilled Free State engineers who were trained during the antebellum period benefited from basic educational reforms, the spread of informal educational practices, and a culture that encouraged learning and innovation. During the war, their rapid construction and repair of roads, railways, and bridges allowed Northern troops to pass quickly through the forbidding terrain of the South as retreating and maneuvering Confederates struggled to cut supply lines and stop the Yankees from pressing any advantage. By presenting detailed case studies from both theaters of the war, Army clearly demonstrates how the soldiers’ education, training, and talents spelled the difference between success and failure, victory and defeat. He also reveals massive logistical operations as critical in determining the war’s outcome.

More than 700 Civil War equines are identified and described with incidental information and identification of their masters.
Download or read book George Henry Thomas written by Brian Steel Wills and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2019-06-09 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although often counted among the Union's top five generals, George Henry Thomas has still not received his due. A Virginian who sided with the North in the Civil War, he was a more complicated commander than traditional views have allowed. Brian Wills now provides a new and more complete look at the life of a man known to history as "The Rock of Chickamauga," to his troops as "Old Pap," and to General William T. Sherman as a soldier who was "as true as steel." While biographers have long been hampered by Thomas's lack of personal papers, Wills has drawn on previously untapped sources—notably the correspondence of Thomas's contemporaries—to offer new insights into what made him tick. Focusing on Thomas's personality and motivations, Wills contributes revealing discussions of his style and approach to command and successfully captures his troubled interactions with other Union commanders, providing a particularly more evenhanded evaluation of his relationship with Grant. He also gives a more substantial account of battlefield action than can be found in other biographies, capturing the ebb and flow of key encounters—Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, Chattanooga and Atlanta, Stones River and Mill Springs, Peachtree Creek and Nashville—to help readers better understand Thomas's contributions to their outcomes. Throughout Wills presents a well-rounded individual whose complex views embraced the worlds of professional military service and scientific inquisitiveness, a man known for attention to detail and compassion to subordinates. We also meet a sharp-tempered person whose disdain for politics hurt his prospects for advancement as much as it reflected positively on his character, and Wills offers new insight into why Thomas might not have progressed as quickly up the ladder of command as he might have liked. More deeply researched than other biographies, Wills's work situates Thomas squarely in his own time to provide readers with a more thorough and balanced life story of this enigmatic Union general. It is a definitive military history that gives us a new and needed picture of the Rock of Chickamauga—a man whose devotion to duty and ideals made him as true as steel.
