Download or read book The 11th Missouri Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War written by Dennis W. Belcher and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 11th Missouri Infantry distinguished itself as just the type of regiment the Union needed in the Civil War. Hard as nails and loyal to a fault, the men of the "Eagle Brigade" would follow their commanders "into hell if they ordered." They battled two Confederate regiments at Iuka, turned the tide at Battery Robinett at Corinth, assaulted the impossible Stockade Redan at Vicksburg as whole ranks of soldiers were cut down, and broke Hood's line at Nashville. Although the 11th Missouri ranks among the 300 top regiments of the Civil War, little of its history has been formally recorded. This study provides a detailed account of the regiment's four-and-a-half years of outstanding service and a roster.
Download or read book Missouri Volunteer written by Benjamin Tolbert Humphrey and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missouri Volunteer follows Captain Benjamin T. Humphrey's service during the Civil War. Transcribed from his handwritten journal, it documents the daily experiences of Capt. Humphrey and the men of the 7th Missouri Cavalry Company M. The journal includes references to many of the men he served with, as well as, the company's movements across southern Missouri and Arkansas. During their service, Capt. Humphrey and his men find themselves on long marches over rough, unfamiliar terrain, on the battlegrounds at Prairie Grove and Van Buren, at the surrender of Little Rock, and as witnesses to the hanging of Confederate spy David Dodd. The journal lingered in an attic forgotten for over 100 years before being uncovered. The original 4 pocket sized books were written in pencil, or in ink if a pen was available. While the words have faded and some pages have been damaged by water, reading such a personal account of the civil war provides a unique perspective on what it was like day to day. Capt. Humphrey was farming in northern Missouri when the Civil War broke out, and he, along with neighbors and family, joined the Union Army. While he had never sought out a military career, he quickly adapted to taking charge of the men with whom he served, showing care and compassion. His journal entries detail the days in the life of a soldier, from locating the enemy, to finding food for themselves and their horses. Through the hardships of war the men of Company M work together to preserve the Union and return home safely.

Download or read book Doniphan s Epic March written by Joseph G. Dawson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1846-1847, a ragtag army of 800 American volunteers marched 3,500 miles across deserts and mountains, through Indian territory and into Mexico. There they handed the Mexican army one of its most demoralizing defeats and helped the United States win its first foreign war. Their leader Colonel Alexander Doniphan, also a volunteer, was a "natural soldier" of towering stature who became a national hero in the wake of his wartime exploits. Doniphan was a small-town Missouri lawyer untrained in military matters when he answered President Polk's call for volunteers in the war with Mexico. Working from a host of primary sources, Joseph Dawson focuses on Doniphan's extraordinary leadership and chronicles how the colonel and his 1st Missouri Mounted Regiment helped capture New Mexico and went on to invade Chihuahua. Contending with wildfires, sandstorms, poor provisions, and the threat of attack from Apaches, they eventually came face-to-face with the formidable cannon and cavalry of a much larger Mexican force. Yet, at the Battle of Sacramento, these hardy volunteers outflanked General Jose Heredia's army and claimed a stunning American victory on foreign soil. Dawson explores and analyzes the many facets of Doniphan's exploits, from the decision to proceed to Chihuahua in the wake of the Taos Revolt to the tactics that shaped his victory at Sacramento, describing that battle in heart-stopping detail. He tells how Doniphan's legal expertise enabled him to supervise America's first military government administering a conquered land at Santa Fe and highlights Doniphan's remarkable cooperation with U.S. Army officers at a time when antagonism typified relationships between volunteers and regulars. He also introduces readers to other key personalities of the campaign, from fellow officers Stephen W. Kearny and Meriwether L. Clark to James Kiker, the controversial scout whom Doniphan reluctantly trusted. Dawson's thorough account captures the expansionist mood of America in the mid-nineteenth century and helps us understand how American soldiers were motivated by the idea of Manifest Destiny. His portrait of Doniphan and his troops reinforces the importance of the citizen-soldier in American history and provides a new window on the war that changed forever the hopes and dreams of our border nations.
