Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to President Lincoln's initial call for troops, the 18th New York Infantry emerged as one of the Excelsior State's first regiments and mustered many of its earliest volunteers. Formed of companies from across the state, the unit saw combat early, suffering the first casualties of the Bull Run campaign when they were ambushed on the march four days before the battle. As part of the Army of the Potomac, they fought at Gaines's Mill, Crampton's Gap, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Drawing on numerous sources including several unpublished letters and diaries, this book gives the complete history of the 18th--from the first enlistee to the last surviving veteran (who died in 1938)--with an emphasis on the experiences of individual soldiers.

Download or read book The 72nd New York Infantry in the Civil War written by Rick Barram and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the men who fought and died in the 72nd New York Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. Part of Dan Sickles' famed Excelsior Brigade, the 72nd New York served in all the major actions associated with the III Corps, losing one-fourth or more of the regiment in three different engagements. The narrative of the war is told in the words of the men who were there. Drawing on soldier's letters, diaries, memoirs (many unpublished or obscure) and official reports, this work follows these men from the exciting beginnings of recruitment, the boredom and frustrations of life policing the secessionist countryside of Southern Maryland, through to the eventual disbanding of the regiment in July of 1864 after being bled white at Williamsburg, the Peninsula, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the Overland Campaign. A final chapter offers a brief account of many of the men's lives following the war. Included in the work are photographs, period illustrations, maps and an organizational chart. A complete roster is arranged by company with chronologies of officers' service.
Download or read book The Opportunity Is at Hand written by Donald M. Wisnoski and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Opportunity is at Hand is a new form of study concerning United States Colored Troops. There have been other studies on famous units such at the 54th and 55th Massachusetts and the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and on the contributions of Black soldiers as a whole. Yet, a concentrated study of colored soldiers from one geographical area, of men who served in various units, has not been delved into until now. Mr. Wisnoski has researched over 60 colored service men and women from Oneida County, New York, who served in twenty different units and organizations. Many were in the ranks of the 26th and 31st USCT, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and other units, as well as several veterans of the US Navy. These men fought in the battles of Fort Wagner, Olustee, Johns Island, James Island, Honey Hill, Petersburg, Chaffins? Farm, and Appomattox. The book reveals the eagerness of colored citizens to take part in the great struggle. The earliest man to enlist was John E. Lippins who joined the Navy on November 4, 1861. Several men served with the 16th New York Heavy Artillery as cooks until transferring to the United States Colored Regiments. A colored washerwoman went into the field with the 2nd New York Heavy Artillery. There were three brothers who served, as well as a father and son in the 31st USCT. There was William ?Uncle Bill? Smith of the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery (later the 11th US Colored Heavy Artillery) who lived to be 113 years old. There was William Henry who weighed 397 pounds, and was turned down by the army because of his bulk. Unwilling to be denied his right to serve, Henry joined the navy and was stationed aboard the Hornet. There was Arlington Denike, who served on the U. S. S. Vermont and the Preston, and attained the rank of 1st class petty officer. Then there were less stellar men like John Green, of the 1st and 40th USCT. Though wounded in battle in 1863, Green was later characterized as ?utterly worthless as a soldier and a confirmed malingerer.? Though most black men from Oneida County were born free, there were those such as Eli Baylis, an escaped slave, who served in the 1st Mississippi Cavalry (later known as the 3rd US Colored Cavalry), and Robert ?Uncle Bob? Wilson who was liberated from servitude from a plantation near Culpeper, VA, and who attached himself as a ?contraband? to Major Rufus Daggett of the 117th NY Infantry. Milton Frank was drafted in the summer of 1863, served bravely, and was twice wounded?the first time at the Battle of Olustee, then at Chaffin?s Farm, a wound that proved mortal. One highlight of the book is a half-dozen letters written by William Labiel of the 14th RI Heavy Artillery. Sadly, Labiel did not survive the war.The book includes three appendices. One lists the known burial sites for the African-American soldiers from Oneida County, another lists the 24 white USCT officers who came from the county, and the last is General Daniel Butterfield?s analysis of the use of black soldiers entitled ?Memoranda With Regard to Colored Troops.? The book contains 30 photos and sketches. Index. 136 pages.

Download or read book The Brotherhood of Battle written by Jerald L. Marsh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-22 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of generals and battles of the American Civil War have been told and retold but relatively little has been written about the common soldiers who fought in the war. In his thoroughly researched history of the Civil War soldiers and families of the upstate New York town of Newark Valley, Jerry Marsh sheds light on the lives of three hundred and nineteen soldiers of the town. He tells of the preacher's son who prayed to be a faithful soldier under the "Stars and Stripes" and the "Banner of Jesus," the eleven families who sent their father and son(s) to the war, the seventy sets of brothers who served, the youths and older men who misrepresented their ages to enlist, the seventy-four men killed or wounded in battle and thirty-nine who died of disease, the families who brought their dead or dying sons back to be buried at home, and the veterans who became productive citizens in New York and across the expanding nation. Marsh's narrative is enhanced by photographs, letters, diaries, and anecdotes from descendants of the courageous soldiers who fought to save the Union and ensure the freedom of all citizens of the "new nation."
