Download or read book Civil War Day by Day written by E.B. Long and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 1437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In all the vast collection of books on the American Civil War there is no book like this one,” says Bruce Catton. Never before has such a stunning body of facts dealing with the war been gathered together in one place and presented in a coherent, useful, day-by-day narrative. And never before have statistics revealed human suffering of such heroic and tragic magnitude. The text begins in November, 1860, and ends with the conclusion of hostilities in May, 1865, and the start of reconstruction. It is designed to furnish the reader not only with information, but to tell a story. Here, in addition to the momentous events that are a familiar part of our history, the daily entries recount innumerable lesser military actions as well as some of the other activities and thoughts of men great and unknown engaged in America’s most costly war: · May 5, 1864—a private in the Army of Northern Virginia writes at the beginning of the Battle of the Wilderness, “It is a beautiful spring day on which all this bloody work is being done.” · May 6, 1864—Gen. Lee rides among his men and is shouted to the rear by his protective troops. · April 30, 1864—Joe David, five-year-old son of the Confederate President, dies after a fall from the high veranda of the White House in Richmond. · April 14, 1865—President Lincoln’s busy day includes a Cabinet meeting where he tells of his recurring dream of a ship moving with great rapidity toward a dark and indefinite shore; that night Mr. Lincoln attends a performance of a trifling comedy at Ford’s Theatre, “Our American Cousin”.

Download or read book Ethan Allen the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga written by Richard B. Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Vermont Firsts and Other Claims to Fame examines the pivotal American Revolutionary War skirmish and the men behind it. In April 1775, a small band of men set out from Hartford and traveled swiftly north toward the shore of Lake Champlain, recruiting men to their expedition along the way. Within only a few days, this loyal group of volunteers arrived in Vermont and, joining forces with Ethan Allen and his legendary Green Mountain Boys, launched a daring attack to capture more than one hundred cannons stored at Fort Ticonderoga. In this comprehensive look at “America's First Victory,” Richard Smith traces the Patriots’ route from Connecticut, through the towns of western Massachusetts and the Berkshire hills and north to Bennington, Vermont, and Lake Champlain. He chronicles the rival expedition led by Benedict Arnold, his confrontation with Allen, and the surprise attack that changed the course of the American Revolution.

Download or read book The Presidents Last Years written by Homer F. Cunningham and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 35 men who have served as president have lived an average of 12 years after they left the White House. Time has obscured the fact that Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and Ulysses S. Grant all died bankrupt. Or that John Tyler in his last days prepared to fight against the United States prior to the Civil War. The fascinating narratives in this book describe these shifts from public to private lives against the backdrop of the social and political currents of their day. All 35 deceased presidents are covered; those who died in office have their final weeks and days described. The scholar or general reader will learn as much about the presidents' personalities from their years of retirement as from their years in office. A poignant and meaningful body of history has now been assembled about the office of the president and the men who have served.
