Download or read book The Prairie Boys Go to War written by Rhonda M. Kohl and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cavalry units from Midwestern states remain largely absent from Civil War literature, and what little has been written largely overlooks the individual men who served. The Fifth Illinois Cavalry has thus remained obscure despite participating in some of the most important campaigns in Arkansas and Mississippi. In this pioneering examination of that understudied regiment, Rhonda M. Kohl offers the only modern, comprehensive analysis of a southern Illinois regiment during the Civil War and combines well-documented military history with a cultural analysis of the men who served in the Fifth Illinois. The regiment’s history unfolds around major events in the Western Theater from 1861 to September 1865, including campaigns at Helena, Vicksburg, Jackson, and Meridian, as well as numerous little-known skirmishes. Although they were led almost exclusively by Northern-born Republicans, the majority of the soldiers in the Fifth Illinois remained Democrats. As Kohl demonstrates, politics, economics, education, social values, and racism separated the line officers from the common soldiers, and the internal friction caused by these cultural disparities led to poor leadership, low morale, disciplinary problems, and rampant alcoholism. The narrative pulls the Fifth Illinois out of historical oblivion, elucidating the highs and lows of the soldiers’ service as well as their changing attitudes toward war goals, religion, liberty, commanding generals, Copperheads, and alcoholism. By reconstructing the cultural context of Fifth Illinois soldiers, Prairie Boys Go to War reveals how social and economic traditions can shape the wartime experience.

Download or read book Hoosiers Honor written by William Thomas Venner and published by White Mane Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1861 one thousand excited, patriotic Indiana farm boys and shopkeepers left Indianapolis, ready to do their part in ending the rebellion. Together with the other Western regiments from Wisconsin and Michigan which formed the Iron Brigade, they received their baptism of fire and famous nickname at the Brawner farm in 1862. Three years after their enlistment, barely one hundred survivors of the battlefields of Antietam, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness returned to their homes and loved ones. Hoosier's Honor is more than a regimental history of the 19th Indiana Infantry. William Thomas Venner has portrayed the men's suffering from disease and poor leadership as well as fighting the Army of Northern Virginia in every major battle from Second Manassas to Cold Harbor.

"Move over, John Green; Zentner is coming for you." —The New York Public Library “Will fill the infinite space that was left in your chest after you finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” —BookRiot.com Dill isn't the most popular kid at his rural Tennessee high school. After his father fell from grace in a public scandal that reverberated throughout their small town, Dill became a target. Fortunately, his two fellow misfits and best friends, Travis and Lydia, have his back. But as they begin their senior year, Dill feels the coils of his future tightening around him. His only escapes are music and his secret feelings for Lydia--neither of which he is brave enough to share. Graduation feels more like an ending to Dill than a beginning.
