Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wilderness Campaign, May-June, 1864, Vol. 4 Upon the return of the Army of the Potomac in December, 1863, from the Mine Run campaign, all active operations ceased. The troops took up encampments on the neck of land between the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers. Many of the troops occupied the identical camps vacated by them at the opening of this campaign. Under instructions from Washington, Meade was authorized to put the army into winter quarters, and he could remain in his present quarters, or, for convenience in supplying it, he could occupy ground north of the Rappahannock. Meade decided to occupy the ground already held by us, and with slight changes the troops were put into winter quarters. The 1st corps, in advance, and nearest the Rapidan River, connected on the right and left with the 6th and 3d corps, with headquarters at Culpeper Court House; the 6th swung around to the right, with headquarters at Welford House; the 3d was on the left, with headquarters near Culpeper; the 2d was still further to the left, with headquarters at Stevensburg; the 5th was in the rear, and had guards along the railroad from Rappahannock Station to Bull Run, with corps headquarters at Rappahannock Station. Camp guards were established; also extensive picket lines, heavily supported by reserves. Outside of these infantry lines was a long cordon of cavalry vedettes, unbroken except at one place, where an infantry picket was maintained on the line of the cavalry outposts. This was at Mitchell's Station. For a short time there were two brigades of infantry, but one was withdrawn early in the winter. The brigade occupying the line with cavalry vedettes was 1st brigade, 2d division, 1st corps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wilderness Campaign The Federal Army, ready for duty May 1, 1864, numbered one hundred and forty-one thousand and sixty men. Lee con fronted this force with fifty thousand, his force being little over one-third of Grant's. The accessions to Grant's armv between the lst and 4th of May still increased the odds against Lee's command. From a glance, at this discrepancy, one could readily see the conception of the Federal Government was inspired with the purpose of extermination. Confronted as it was by an army one - third its size. With an inadequate sup ply of both food and ammunition.

This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in Gordon C. Rhea's peerless five-book series on the Civil War's 1864 Overland Campaign abounds with Rhea's signature detail, innovative analysis, and riveting prose. Here Rhea examines the maneuvers and battles from May 7, 1864, when Grant left the Wilderness, through May 12, when his attempt to break Lee's line by frontal assault reached a chilling climax at what is now called the Bloody Angle. Drawing exhaustively upon previously untapped materials, Rhea challenges conventional wisdom about this violent clash of titans to construct the ultimate account of Grant and Lee at Spotsylvania.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “very satisfying blow-by-blow account of the final stages of the Gettysburg Campaign” fills an important gap in Civil War history (Civil War Books and Authors). Winner of the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table Book Award This fascinating book exposes what has been hiding in plain sight for 150 years: The Gettysburg Campaign did not end at the banks of the Potomac on July 14, but deep in central Virginia two weeks later along the line of the Rappahannock. Contrary to popular belief, once Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia slipped across the Potomac back to Virginia, the Lincoln administration pressed George Meade to cross quickly in pursuit—and he did. Rather than follow in Lee’s wake, however, Meade moved south on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in a cat-and-mouse game to outthink his enemy and capture the strategic gaps penetrating the high wooded terrain. Doing so would trap Lee in the northern reaches of the Shenandoah Valley and potentially bring about the decisive victory that had eluded Union arms north of the Potomac. The two weeks that followed resembled a grand chess match with everything at stake—high drama filled with hard marching, cavalry charges, heavy skirmishing, and set-piece fighting that threatened to escalate into a major engagement with the potential to end the war in the Eastern Theater. Throughout, one thing remains clear: Union soldiers from private to general continued to fear the lethality of Lee’s army. Meade and Lee After Gettysburg, the first of three volumes on the campaigns waged between the two adversaries from July 14 through the end of July, 1863, relies on the official records, regimental histories, letters, newspapers, and other sources to provide a day-by-day account of this fascinating high-stakes affair. The vivid prose, coupled with original maps and outstanding photographs, offers a significant contribution to Civil War literature.

Download or read book The Bloody Fifth Vol 2 written by John F. Schmutz and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in the sweeping history of the Fifth Texas Infantry that fought with Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia in the Civil War. In the first volume, Secession to the Suffolk Campaign, John F. Schmutz followed the regiment from its inception through the successful foraging campaign in southeastern Virginia in April 1863. Gettysburg to Appomattox continues the regiment’s rich history from its march north into Pennsylvania and the battle of Gettysburg, its transfer west to Georgia and participation in the bloody battle of Chickamauga, operations in East Tennessee, and the regiments return to Virginia for the overland battles (Wilderness to Cold Harbor), Petersburg campaign, and the march to Appomattox Court House. The narrative ends by following many of the regiment’s soldiers on their long journey home. Schmutz’s definitive study is based upon years of archival and battlefield research that uncovered hundreds of primary sources, many never before used. The result is a lively account of not only the regiments marches and battles but a personal look into the lives of these Texans as they struggled to survive a vicious war more than 1,000 miles from home. “The Bloody Fifth”: The 5th Texas Infantry Regiment, Hood’s Texas Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia, with photos, original maps, explanatory footnotes, and important and useful appendices, is a significant contribution to the history of Texas and the American Civil War. “A scholarly work enhanced with maps and exhaustive notes, yet thoroughly accessible to readers of all backgrounds.” —Midwest Book Review
