Download or read book Some Events and Incidents During the Civil War written by William C. Jordan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Jordan was a member of Company B, Fifteenth Alabama Regiment. The regiment served in the states of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Tennessee where it was first attached to Jackson's corps, Ewell's division and Trimbles' brigade. At the reorganization the regiment was transferred to Longstreet's corps, Hoods division, and Law's brigade. The regiment was in over twenty regular engagements, skirmishes and minor engagements impossible to estimate, some of which were more disastrous than regular engagements in proportion to those engaged. It is well known by a great many that Longstreet was sent from General Lee to reinforce General Bragg in September, 1863, at the battle of Chickamauga, while General Lee was comparatively easy and quiet Longstreet had a terrible time in East Tennessee and rejoined Lee the 6th of May, 1864, at the battle of the Wilderness, just in time to save Lee as he did Bragg at Chickamauga. From the Preface... The writer will confine himself to facts, as he has a diary of every day that he was in service, except when he was so very sick at Charlottesville, Va., and at home on furlough, results of a genuine attack of old fashioned dry tongue typhoid fever, which disqualified him for service for about twelve months. He also had a complete roll of every man that ever belonged to Company B, Fifteenth Alabama Regiment, showing what disposition was made of each of them, the different engagements, dates, etc. I will endeavor to write in a plain manner, in a way that will be better understood and appreciated by the old veterans, will refer frequently to individuals in the company, regiment and brigade for their bravery, heroism and faithfulness to duty and to their country.

Download or read book Railroads in the Civil War written by John E. Clark, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time of the Civil War, the railroads had advanced to allow the movement of large numbers of troops even though railways had not yet matured into a truly integrated transportation system. Gaps between lines, incompatible track gauges, and other vexing impediments remained in both the North and South. As John E. Clark explains in this compelling study, the skill with which Union and Confederate war leaders met those problems and utilized the rail system to its fullest potential was an essential ingredient for ultimate victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 60,000 books have been published on the Civil War.

In an engaging and accessible survey, Gary W. Gallagher guides readers through the stories told in recent film and art, showing how these stories have both reflected and influenced the political, social, and racial currents of their times.
Download or read book If the South Had Won the Civil War written by MacKinlay Kantor and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2001-11-03 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a touch here and a tweak there . . . . MacKinlay Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, master storyteller, shows us how the South could have won the Civil War, how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened: to the Union, to Abraham Lincoln, to the people of the North and South, to the world? If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look Magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American classic overnight. Published in book form soon after, Kantor's masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now, this much requested classic is once again available for a new generation of readers and features a stunning cover by acclaimed Civil War artist Don Troiani, a new introduction by award-winning alternate history author Harry Turtledove, and fifteen superb illustrations by the incomparable Dan Nance. It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday, May 12, 1863, when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant . . . .

Download or read book How Civil Wars Start written by Barbara F. Walter and published by Crown. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A leading political scientist examines the dramatic rise in violent extremism around the globe and sounds the alarm on the increasing likelihood of a second civil war in the United States “Required reading for anyone invested in preserving our 246-year experiment in self-government.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) WINNER OF THE GLOBAL POLICY INSTITUTE AWARD • THE SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Financial Times, The Times (UK), Esquire, Prospect (UK) Political violence rips apart several towns in southwest Texas. A far-right militia plots to kidnap the governor of Michigan and try her for treason. An armed mob of Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists storms the U.S. Capitol. Are these isolated incidents? Or is this the start of something bigger? Barbara F. Walter has spent her career studying civil conflict in places like Iraq, Ukraine, and Sri Lanka, but now she has become increasingly worried about her own country. Perhaps surprisingly, both autocracies and healthy democracies are largely immune from civil war; it’s the countries in the middle ground that are most vulnerable. And this is where more and more countries, including the United States, are finding themselves today. Over the last two decades, the number of active civil wars around the world has almost doubled. Walter reveals the warning signs—where wars tend to start, who initiates them, what triggers them—and why some countries tip over into conflict while others remain stable. Drawing on the latest international research and lessons from over twenty countries, Walter identifies the crucial risk factors, from democratic backsliding to factionalization and the politics of resentment. A civil war today won’t look like America in the 1860s, Russia in the 1920s, or Spain in the 1930s. It will begin with sporadic acts of violence and terror, accelerated by social media. It will sneak up on us and leave us wondering how we could have been so blind. In this urgent and insightful book, Walter redefines civil war for a new age, providing the framework we need to confront the danger we now face—and the knowledge to stop it before it’s too late.
Download or read book Holding the Line on the River of Death written by Eric J. Wittenberg and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning Civil War historian examines the actions of Union Cavalry on the first day of the Battle of Chickamauga in this history and tour guide. This volume provides an in-depth study of the two important delaying actions conducted by mounted Union soldiers at Reed’s and Alexander’s bridges on the first day of Chickamauga. Much like Eric J, Wittenberg’s “The Devil’s to Pay”: John Buford at Gettysburg—which won the Gettysburg Civil War Roundtable’s 2015 Book Award—this volume combines engaging military history with a detailed walking and driving tour complete with the GPS coordinates. On September, 18, 1863, a cavalry brigade under Col. Robert H. G. Minty and Col. John T. Wilder’s legendary “Lightning Brigade” of mounted infantry made stout stands at a pair of chokepoints crossing Chickamauga Creek. Minty’s small cavalry brigade held off nearly ten times its number by designing and implementing a textbook example of a delaying action. Their efforts thwarted Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg’s entire battle plan by delaying his army’s advance for an entire day. The appendices of this book include two orders of battle, a discussion of the tactics employed by the Union mounted force, and an epilogue on how the War Department and National Park Service have remembered these events. Complete with more than 60 photos and 15 maps by master cartographer Mark Anderson Moore, Holding the Line on the River of Death is a valuable addition to the burgeoning Chickamauga historiography.
Download or read book The Civil War by Campaigns Classic Reprint written by Eli Greenawalt Foster and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War by Campaigns Many good histories of the Civil War have been written. Nearly all of them devote much space to the details of battles and campaigns, - a most, excellent thing for those who wish to devote their time to a comprehensive study of the, war. The following chapters have been prepared for those who wish a more condensed account of the important events. The facts have been diligently collected from leading standard works, and are presented in a new form. Instead of treating the subject chronologically, as works generally do, the author has written entirely by campaigns. The movements of one army have been fully treated before the discussion of another has commenced. It is hoped that this method of treatment will be found both interesting and profitable. Indeed, this method of presentation of the subject to young men and young women in the school-room has resulted in awakening increased interest in the study of the great war, and has been the means of preventing many confusions that would otherwise occur; and it has made the time spent in the study of the war more fruitful in result. The military campaign maps tracing the movements of the armies are entirely original, and have been prepared expressly for this volume. A careful study of the maps "Grant's Campaign in the West," "Campaigns of Buell and Bragg," "Sherman's March to the Sea," and the "Army of the Potomac," will aid greatly in giving a clear and definite idea of the great theaters of the Civil War. The maps locating the battles and sieges have been copied from larger works. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
