Book excerpt: Excerpt from Operations of the Army Under Buell From June 10th to October 30th, 1862, and the Buell Commission The book form, to which the treatment of the sub ject discussed in the following pages is not adapted. And which was not thought of in preparing the review, became necessary from the fact that the work out grew the limits of a magazine. The time from June 10 to October 30, 1862, is taken, because that is the period covered by the Commission which investi gated the operations of the army under Buell. Buell was assigned to command of the department of the Ohio, for the reason that the Union cause in that department, especially military affairs in Ken tucky, were in a desperate condition, and it was thought that nothing but judicious management and extraordinary exertion could rescue the State from the vortex of rebellion. The rebels had inaugurated a provisional government at Russelville; they held military possession of one third of the State and were strong and aggressive. General Albert Sidney J ohn ston was in command. His force was estimated at or men. His main body and Head quarters were at Bowling Green with an advance guard at Munfordville, and he held Fort Henry on the Tennessee and Fort Donelson on the Cumber land. General Humphrey Marshall was threaten ing Eastern Kentucky through Pound Gap, and a force under General Zollicofi'er held Cumberland Gap and points north of it. Bands of men were constantly forming to join the rebel ranks. The population was in a state of alarm. Loyal people were intimidated, and in some parts of the State the Union sentiment dared not express itself.

This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 997 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With kaleidoscopic, trenchant, path-breaking insights, Elizabeth D. Samet has produced the most ambitious edition of Ulysses Grant’s Memoirs yet published. One hundred and thirty-three years after its 1885 publication by Mark Twain, Elizabeth Samet has annotated this lavish edition of Grant’s landmark memoir, and expands the Civil War backdrop against which this monumental American life is typically read. No previous edition combines such a sweep of historical and cultural contexts with the literary authority that Samet, an English professor obsessed with Grant for decades, brings to the table. Whether exploring novels Grant read at West Point or presenting majestic images culled from archives, Samet curates a richly annotated, highly collectible edition that will fascinate Civil War buffs. The edition also breaks new ground in its attack on the “Lost Cause” revisionism that still distorts our national conversation about the legacy of the Civil War. Never has Grant’s transformation from tanner’s son to military leader been more insightfully and passionately explained than in this timely edition, appearing on the 150th anniversary of Grant’s 1868 presidential election.

Download or read book Echoes of the Civil War as I Hear Them Abridged Annotated written by Michael Hendrick Fitch and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1905-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chickamauga, Stone River, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, and Sherman's March to the Sea. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Hendrick Fitch was at all of them and more. Looking back 40 years, he recounts the battles, the humorous tales, the anecdotes of Grant and other famous soldiers whom he met, and simple soldier stories. "As we crossed a creek before arriving at the battlefield, the horses all stopped to drink. Grant pulled out his match-box and lighted a cigar. While he was doing this, his horse let fly with his hind foot at [Baldy] Smith’s horse. Whereupon Smith hit Grant’s horse across the rump with his stick and at the same time made some familiar remark to Grant about riding such a vicious horse. I was looking intently at Grant at the time and was struck with his perfect stolid indifference. He never for an instant changed the position of his hand or head in lighting his cigar, nor said a word, nor did he seem conscious of the episode, though his horse moved up suddenly. I thought it very characteristic of his qualities as a soldier." Front-line letters, diaries, and stories of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it.

This book was released on with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Sheridan, Ulysses S. Grant said, “As a soldier, as a commander of troops, as a man capable of doing all that is possible with any number of men, there is no man living greater than Sheridan. He belongs to the very first rank of soldiers, not only of our country, but of the world. I rank Sheridan with Napoleon and Frederick and the great commanders in history." He was bold in battle but insisted he was never reckless. He was loved by his men and was lauded by the public for the rest of his life after the American Civil War. His reputation as a soldier was worldwide and when he toured Europe later in life, he was hailed as a hero. He intended to write his memoirs and was working on them when he died in 1888. Two men who knew him (one of whom served with him) took up the task and delivered this volume to an admiring audience. The two men who completed this work were former cavalrymen and famous journalists in their day.
