Excerpt: ...on posts about the works, and along the water-fronts, the reserves were held inside the forts, sheltered in the damp and vermininfested bombproofs. The officers were generally the guests of the permanent officers in charge, and occupied tents. There were also the ceaseless calls for fatigue details to land ordnance and other stores at the wharf, drag guns to the front, and return disabled pieces to the depot, besides constant work repairing the batteries damaged by the enemy's fire or the elements. A large sidewheel steamer with smokestacks painted red and lead-color, called the "Flore," was chased ashore on Sullivan's Island during the night of the 22d, and was destroyed the next day by our guns. On or about the 29th, Brig.-Gen. Edward E. Potter assumed command of the district, relieving General Scammon. About this period our fire upon the city was stronger than for some time. November 5, a small vessel was discovered ashore in front of Fort Moultrie. She seemed to be loaded with cotton and turpentine, for our shells soon set her on fire, and she burned until after dark. Colonel Mulford, our commissioner of exchange, had arrived at Hilton Head with 3,200 Confederate prisoners. He met Captain Black, the Confederate agent, on the 11th, in the Savannah River, and arranged for exchanges at that point which took place soon afterward. With November came colder and more stormy days, rendering it bleak and cheerless on Morris Island, exposed to the chilling winds and damp atmosphere. News of the re-election of President Lincoln was received with enthusiasm as a guarantee that the war would be vigorously prosecuted. Brigadier-General Hatch relieved General Potter on the 17th of the district command. Some changes had taken place among...

Book excerpt: Following huge losses of forces at Fredericksburg and Vicksburg, President Abraham Lincoln authorized the recruitment of black soldiers to the Union army. Beginning recruitment in 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was to become the first black regiment recruited from free men north of the Mississippi River. It was decided that the black regiment would have white officers and the Governor of Massachusetts, John A. Andrews, appointed abolitionist Robert Gould Shaw as colonel. Among the white officers appointed was Luis F. Emilio, whose first-hand history of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment is an important addition to African-American history. In May 1863, the 54th Regiment left the north and traveled to South Carolina where they began their task of not only defending the Union but proving to many factions of society their equality. Being one of the first black regiments was not easy and the 54th doubtlessly faced an even more difficult struggle than the majority of Union soldiers. In spite of pay disputes, menial work exercises and a greater threat of danger from the South, the 54th Regiment proved itself to be more than equal to the white Union regiments. The regiment is perhaps best known for its part of the Second Battle of Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863. Despite suffering huge losses of life, including that of Colonel Shaw, the regiment showed itself to be unceasingly brave in the face of defeat and was commended for its part in the battle. Including many primary sources, a detailed account of the regiment's tactics in battle and an extensive appendix of soldiers in the 54th, Captain Emilio's A Brave Black Regiment is an invaluable resource for those interested in the role of African-Americans in the Civil War. Luis Fenellosa Emilio, born December 22, 1844, served in the United Staes army from 1861, aged just 16. He joined the 54th Massachusetts Regiment in 1863 and became Captain of Company E, becoming Acting Commander for the regiment following huge losses at Fort Wagner. He retired from the U.S. army in 1865 and first published A Brave Black Regiment in 1891. He died in New York in 1918.

Download or read book The Civil War in Books written by David J. Eicher and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the assistance of several scholars, including James M. McPherson and Gary Gallagher, and a long-time specialist in Civil War books, Ralph Newman, David Eicher has selected for inclusion in The Civil War in Books the 1,100 most important books on the war. These are organized into categories as wide-ranging as "Battles and Campaigns," "Biographies, Memoirs, and Letters," "Unit Histories," and "General Works." The last of these includes volumes on black Americans and the war, battlefields, fiction, pictorial works, politics, prisons, railroads, and a host of other topics. Annotations are included for all entries in the work, which is presented in an oversized 8 1/2 x 11 inch volume in two-column format. Appendixes list "prolific" Civil War publishers and other Civil War bibliographies, and the works included in Eicher's mammoth undertaking are indexed by author or editor and by title. Gary Gallagher's foreword traces the development of Civil War bibliographies and declares that Eicher's annotation exceeds that of any previous comprehensive volume. The Civil War in Books, Gallagher believes, is "precisely the type of guide" that has been needed. The first full-scale, fully-annotated bibliography on the Civil War to appear in more than thirty years, Eicher's The Civil War in Books is a remarkable compendium of the best reading available about the worst conflict ever to strike the United States. The bibliography, the most valuable reference book on the subject since The Civil War Day by Day, will be essential for college and university libraries, dealers in rare and secondhand books, and Civil War buffs.

Download or read book Pictures and Progress written by Maurice O. Wallace and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures and Progress explores how, during the nineteenth century and the early twentieth, prominent African American intellectuals and activists understood photography's power to shape perceptions about race and employed the new medium in their quest for social and political justice. They sought both to counter widely circulating racist imagery and to use self-representation as a means of empowerment. In this collection of essays, scholars from various disciplines consider figures including Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and W. E. B. Du Bois as important and innovative theorists and practitioners of photography. In addition, brief interpretive essays, or "snapshots," highlight and analyze the work of four early African American photographers. Featuring more than seventy images, Pictures and Progress brings to light the wide-ranging practices of early African American photography, as well as the effects of photography on racialized thinking.
