Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thirty-Third Regiment Illinois Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, 22nd August, 1861, to 7th December, 1865: Also Complete Historical Rosters A state thus situated, having such a decided interest in the commerce of the whole country, and in the preservation of the whole Union, would never consent. To disunion, and for this very reason the northern boundary of Illinois was pushed up to 42 degrees, 30 minutes, giving to the state the fourteen counties so strenuously claimed by Wisconsin. Illinois can well afford to challenge the title of Pennsylvania for the honor of being the Keystone State in the arch of the Union. These views were urged by that wise and able states man, Judge Nathaniel Pope, territorial delegate, and received the unqualified consent of the National Con gress of 1818. In closing his comment on this action, Gov. Ford from whom I have largely taken the foregoing - ih his history of Illinois, made this remarkable appeal nearly a half century ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thirty-Third Regiment Illinois Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War: 22nd August, 1861 to 7th December, 1865, With Company and Personal Sketches by Other Comrades, Also Complete Historical Rosters "At a meeting-of the survivors of the 33rd regiment of Illinois Infantry Volunteers, held in Bloornington December 30th, 1884, General C. E. Lippincott, Captain of Company 'K' at the organisation of the regiment, and afterwards Lieut. Colonel and Colonel, was requested to write the history of the regiment. "To perform such a duty properly is no slight task. Almost twenty-four years have passed away since the regiment was organised. Twenty-one years have gone since the history of the regiment was completed, and the men who composed it were mustered out of service and resumed their places as citizens of the Republic they had helped to save. The thoughts which crowd on ones mind at the first attempt to perform the duty thus imposed are bewildering. There is much that no man can fitly teil. Underneath the mere facts there is a very sea of feeling and emotion which is beyond the reach of any art. Who can describe the enthusiasm, the patriotism, the devotion which brought together the men who met at Camp Butler in August, 1861, to form the 'Normal' regiment?" The foregoing was written as a beginning to the "Introduction" for the history of the 33rd Illinois Infantry more than seventeen years ago by the lamented and talented Col. Lippincott in response to the resolution he quoted at the commencement of this article. In addition to the charmingly prepared introduction he also wrote two full chapters of the history of the regiment, when the care and the management of the Soldiers' Home at Quincy, ., devolved upon him and he was obliged to suspend his literary labors in behalf of the regiment, and his sudden death soon followed. He for warded me his manuscript, as I was then Secretary of the 33rd Illinois Veteran Association, and as I am now requested to write the introduction to our finally completed regimental history, I feel it a privilege to show by this quotation that our comrade in 1884-85 made an earnest attempt to carry out the wishes of his comrades. The request of Col. Lippincott to write our book was a combination of one of a series of efforts to publish the gallant Thirty-Third's history, brought forward time and again at regimental reunions. Circulars have been sent out to survivors and friends of deceased comrades, addresses of members have been hunted up and much labor performed in the direction of publication; but the care and responsibility of its management always discouraged and appalled the committees. As a long time member of those committees and for nearly twenty years Secretary of the Association, I believe I can say that had I used proper patience and industry this book could have been published long ere this. It gives me great pleasure now to state that in Mr. V. G. Way, the present Secretary, the Association has fin ally meta person possessing the necessary qualifications of untiring industry, quiet and persistent patience and the business capacity to carry out in an admirable manner the wishes of the survivors of that notable regiment whose history is at last set forth in these pages. Col. I. H. Elliott's admirably written historical sketch of the most important movements of the regiment will be heartily welcomed by his old comrades. No other man has ever been connected with the regiment who possessed such an intimate acquaintance with the officers and men. He knew most accurately the feelings of all classes, and possessed enthusiastic love for everything pertaining to its membership, its record and its military fame. In addition to these qualifications he has a most pleasing literary style and has the rare talent of giving descriptions of military movements in appropriate military language. His work has been referred to several well qualifi

Download or read book The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat written by Earl J. Hess and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War's single-shot, muzzle-loading musket revolutionized warfare-or so we've been told for years. Noted historian Earl J. Hess forcefully challenges that claim, offering a new, clear-eyed, and convincing assessment of the rifle musket's actual performance on the battlefield and its impact on the course of the Civil War. Many contemporaries were impressed with the new weapon's increased range of 500 yards, compared to the smoothbore musket's range of 100 yards, and assumed that the rifle was a major factor in prolonging the Civil War. Historians have also assumed that the weapon dramatically increased casualty rates, made decisive victories rare, and relegated cavalry and artillery to far lesser roles than they played in smoothbore battles. Hess presents a completely new assessment of the rifle musket, contending that its impact was much more limited than previously supposed and was confined primarily to marginal operations such as skirmishing and sniping. He argues further that its potential to alter battle line operations was virtually nullified by inadequate training, soldiers' preference for short-range firing, and the difficulty of seeing the enemy at a distance. He notes that bullets fired from the new musket followed a parabolic trajectory unlike those fired from smoothbores; at mid-range, those rifle balls flew well above the enemy, creating two killing zones between which troops could operate untouched. He also presents the most complete discussion to date of the development of skirmishing and sniping in the Civil War. Drawing upon the observations and reflections of the soldiers themselves, Hess offers the most compelling argument yet made regarding the actual use of the rifle musket and its influence on Civil War combat. Engagingly written and meticulously researched, his book will be of special interest to Civil War scholars, buffs, re-enactors, and gun enthusiasts alike.
Download or read book The Prairie Boys Go to War written by Rhonda M. Kohl and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cavalry units from Midwestern states remain largely absent from Civil War literature, and what little has been written largely overlooks the individual men who served. The Fifth Illinois Cavalry has thus remained obscure despite participating in some of the most important campaigns in Arkansas and Mississippi. In this pioneering examination of that understudied regiment, Rhonda M. Kohl offers the only modern, comprehensive analysis of a southern Illinois regiment during the Civil War and combines well-documented military history with a cultural analysis of the men who served in the Fifth Illinois. The regiment’s history unfolds around major events in the Western Theater from 1861 to September 1865, including campaigns at Helena, Vicksburg, Jackson, and Meridian, as well as numerous little-known skirmishes. Although they were led almost exclusively by Northern-born Republicans, the majority of the soldiers in the Fifth Illinois remained Democrats. As Kohl demonstrates, politics, economics, education, social values, and racism separated the line officers from the common soldiers, and the internal friction caused by these cultural disparities led to poor leadership, low morale, disciplinary problems, and rampant alcoholism. The narrative pulls the Fifth Illinois out of historical oblivion, elucidating the highs and lows of the soldiers’ service as well as their changing attitudes toward war goals, religion, liberty, commanding generals, Copperheads, and alcoholism. By reconstructing the cultural context of Fifth Illinois soldiers, Prairie Boys Go to War reveals how social and economic traditions can shape the wartime experience.
