Download or read book Three Years in the Saddle 1861 1865 Abridged Annotated written by Charles D. Field and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the charms of Charles Field's account of his time as a Union soldier in the American Civil War is its utter simplicity. He was a typical soldier, a non-commissioned officer, of limited education. His phrasing and misspellings, for some reason printed in the original manuscript, lend an authenticity to his stories. Field saw plenty of action, had hair-raising close calls, and lived to tell about it in this 1908 publication. After the war, he married, raised a family, and farmed in Illinois and Iowa. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Book excerpt: A FORGOTTEN TREASURE--CIVIL WAR IN THE SADDLE Just a boy when he enlisted in the Union cause, Walter Robbins was not quite 23 years old when he mustered out as a colonel (brevet brigadier general) after more than four years of war. It was an experience that shaped the rest of his life. Written for his grandchildren, this book was not intended for publication. Yet it brims with excitement and detailed accounts of participation in some of the most famous battles of the war. Robbins served in proximity to the Union's most prominent leaders, saw them in action, and was praised by them for his leadership. The 1st New Jersey Cavalry fought at Cedar Mountain, Fredericksburg, Brandy Station, Gettysburg, Hawe's Shop, and other battles right up to Appomattox. This is a long-lost and forgotten treasure of the great conflict that nearly destroyed the nation. Thoughtful, modest, and proud of his part in the cause, Walter Raleigh Robbins' memoir will interest every student of the Civil War.

Download or read book The Battle of Beecher Island Abridged Annotated written by General George "Sandy" Forsyth and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the legendary figures of the frontier U.S. Army and the Indian Wars, Sandy Forsyth is unknown to most Americans. This volume contains his exciting account of the Battle of Beecher Island in September, 1868. Forsyth commanded a tiny force pinned down on a sand bar in the Republican River for nine days against hundreds of Cheyenne warriors led by Roman Nose. Forsyth was badly wounded but stayed in command as men and horses fell around him. Earlier in his career, he had been an aide-de-camp to Major-General Phil Sheridan during the Civil War. He rode with Sheridan on his famous nighttime ride from Winchester to avert catastrophe at the Battle of Cedar Creek. That story is here, as well as Forsyth's memory of his presence at the surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. This is one of the most exciting and well-written memoirs of an officer who served in the Civil War and on the frontier.
