Download or read book The First Tennessee Regiment United States Volunteers Classic Reprint written by Will T. Hale and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Tennessee Regiment, United States Volunteers Crittenden and the slaughter of the crew of the ill-fated Virginius, and to put an end to the starving of noncombating Cuban women and children: but over and above all surged the resolution to punish Spain for the insult offered to the stars and stripes on February 15, 1898. Then there was obliterated the imaginary line between North and South: sons of the Lost Cause and of the Union were actuated by the same high patriotism, and it could then be truthfully sung: "There is a cry that rises and swells on every breeze - No laggards on the shore and no laggards on the seas; From homes of Lee and Lincoln the patriot souls are seen - Thank God! the land's united, the old flag waves serene" And Tennessee? As had been her course since her admission into the Union in 1796, she showed by her enthusiasm her indorsement of the sentiment - "Our country, may she aways be right: but - our country, right or wrong!' All the States promised their quota of troops, but even as early as April 20, this telegram was sent to the papers from Washington, proving once more Tennessee's right to be called the Volunteer State: Washington, April 20. - All day to-day letters and telegrams have been pouring in upon Secretary of War Alger from prominent citizens of Tennessee, offering their services in the event of war. Similar telegrams have been received by the Tennessee delegation, which were duly forwarded to the war department. So far more offers have been received from Tennessee than from any other State in the Union. Under the first call for volunteers Tennessee's quota was to be three regiments of infantry. The officers of the First were: Colonel - Wm. Crawford Smith. Lieutenant Colonel - Gracey Childers. Majors - Albert B. Bayless, B. Frank Cheatham, and John G. Maguire. Major and Surgeon - Richard A. Barr. Captain and Assistant Surgeon - R. M. Kirby-Smith and Percy Jones First Lieutenant and Adjutant - James K. Polk. First Lieutenant and Quartermaster - Andrew J. Duncan. Captain and Chaplain - Lewis J. Leland. The field officers of the Second were: Colonel - Kellar Anderson. Lieutenant Colonel - Thomas E. Patterson. Majors - Frank H. Deffrey, Mark A. Walker, and George W. Seay. Those of the Third were: Colonel - James P. Fyffe. Lieutenant Colonel - Daniel M. Coffman. Majors - William Brown, James W. Meeks, and Edwin C. Ramage. Under the second call a fourth regiment was organized, with the following field officers: Colonel - George LeRoy Brown. Lieutenant Colonel - Harvey H. Hannah. Majors - William C. Tatom, William O. Vertrees, and J. Crum Epier. Two of the regiments - the Second and Third - were discharged before they saw active service in the field, and the Fourth was quartered awhile in Cuba, then discharged. While they were not permitted to take part in any of the battles between this country and Spain, or between our forces and the Filipinos, the soldiers were ready to fight like Tennesseans, and would have reflected glory on American arms. The First Tennessee Regiment was the earliest organized, the companies constituting it being Company A, Nashville: Company B, Columbia; Company C, Nashville: Company D, Lawrenceburg: Company E, Nashville: Company F, Nashville: Company G, Waverly: Company H, Clarksville: Company I, Big Sandy: Company K, Springfield: and Companies L and M to be recruited from Nashville. On April 23 the National State Guard was ordered out, the order from Adjutant Charles Sykes being addressed to the various commanders throughout the State, and to those of the First Regiment. It was made in anticipation of the President's call. The troops were to rendezvous at Nashville preparatory to being mustered into the service by Lieut. Samuel Seay, of the Fourteenth United .

Download or read book The Lincoln Brigade written by William Loren Katz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LINCOLN BRIGADE The day after Christmas in 1936, a group of ninety-six Americans sailed from New York to help Spain defend its democratic government against fascism. Ultimately, twenty-eight hundred United States volunteers reached Spain to become the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Few Lincolns had any military training. More than half were seriously wounded or died in battle. Most Lincolns were activists and idealists who had worked with and demonstrated for the homeless and unemployed during the Great Depression. They were poets and blue-collar workers, professors and students, seamen and journalists, lawyers and painters, Christians and Jews, blacks and whites. The Brigade was the first fully integrated United States army, and Oliver Law, an African American from Texas, was an early Lincoln commander. William Loren Katz and the late Marc Crawford twice traveled with the Brigade to Spain in the 1980s, interviewed surviving Lincolns on old battlefields, and obtained never-before-published documents and photographs for this book.

Download or read book The Spanish American War 1895 1902 written by Joseph Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fought in both Caribbean and Pacific and turning on America's superior naval strength, this short but decisive war had momentous consequences internationally. It ended Spain's imperial power, and the US emerged for the first time as an active force in world affairs, acquiring -- amidst much domestic controversy -- an empire of her own in the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Cuba (whose struggle against Spain had sparked the war). Heavy with implications for twentieth-century America, the war is explored in its widest context in this engrossing and impressive study.
Download or read book Fighting for the Enlightenment American Volunteers Spanish War Correspondence written by Shem Fleenor and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1848 Publishing presents Shem Fleenor's second book-length research study. Fleenor examines correspondence written in the midst of combat, paying special attention to letters written by American volunteers during what is often erroneously referred to as the Spanish "Civil War." The war between Fascist Nationalists and Republicans in 1930s Spain was global in scope. It is considered by many scholars to be the first chapter of World War II because Adolf Hitler's German Wehrmacht and Benito Mussolini's Italian Army were so heavily invested in aiding Francisco Franco's forces to defeat the Spanish Republic. The western empires - the United States, France, and England -- remained "neutral" throughout the duration of the war. But "neutrality" was as much a misnomer as "civil war" because the western democracies' laissez faire policy permitted the Fascists, who had superior firepower, to topple the Republic. Spain's democratically elected Popular Front government was, however, aided by a multinational contingent known as the International Brigades, which was comprised of nearly seventeen-thousand volunteers from more than fifty nations - including nearly three-thousand Americans. The International Brigades were organized by the Communist Party. But the volunteers were not paid and only minimally equipped by the Soviet Union, which was, when considering their war within a war against anarchists, a counter-revolutionary force in Spain. The American volunteers lucky enough to survive the war were demonized as "pre-mature anti-fascist" communists and suspected of disloyalty during World War II and throughout the Cold War. Although many American volunteers had, in fact, joined the Communist Party during the Great Depression, many others did not. And so, the epithet that American volunteers for the Spanish Republic were "disloyal" and/or went to Spain to "further Bolshevism's greed" is reductionist Culture War rhetoric designed to diminish their idealism in contrast to politicians' willingness to stand idly by as fascists toppled democracies throughout Europe and, ultimately, pulled the United States, France, and England into World War II. The American volunteers' correspondence during the Spanish War underscores that many of them did not risk life, limb, and citizenship fighting for communism; they fought for liberty, equality and fraternity - the same Enlightenment Era ideals that inspired and guided the American, French, Haitian, and Russian Revolutiuons.
