Book excerpt: The Civil War marks a turning point in the history of the American republic. Not only did it forge a united nation but it also facilitated the Industrial Revolution that made the United States a world power and leader by the early 20th century. This massive work contains more than 2,500 detailed biographies of participants in the Civil War. It concentrates on the characters' actions during the Civil War, giving researchers the basic career data of the participants. Pre- and postwar activities are covered briefly. Of course, when an individual played a role in bringing about secession and the war itself, much more attention is given to his prewar actions. The author has included those persons who most affected the conflict, with a balance between North and South, military and civilian, and, heroes and rogues. Two appendices augment the biographies: Appendix A, a chronology which spans November 1860 through November 1865; and Appendix B, "Officers Receiving the Thanks of the U.S. Congress." A wealth of portraits, historic photographs, and other illustrations; a bibliography; and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work. (

Download or read book The Civil War in Books written by David J. Eicher and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the assistance of several scholars, including James M. McPherson and Gary Gallagher, and a long-time specialist in Civil War books, Ralph Newman, David Eicher has selected for inclusion in The Civil War in Books the 1,100 most important books on the war. These are organized into categories as wide-ranging as "Battles and Campaigns," "Biographies, Memoirs, and Letters," "Unit Histories," and "General Works." The last of these includes volumes on black Americans and the war, battlefields, fiction, pictorial works, politics, prisons, railroads, and a host of other topics. Annotations are included for all entries in the work, which is presented in an oversized 8 1/2 x 11 inch volume in two-column format. Appendixes list "prolific" Civil War publishers and other Civil War bibliographies, and the works included in Eicher's mammoth undertaking are indexed by author or editor and by title. Gary Gallagher's foreword traces the development of Civil War bibliographies and declares that Eicher's annotation exceeds that of any previous comprehensive volume. The Civil War in Books, Gallagher believes, is "precisely the type of guide" that has been needed. The first full-scale, fully-annotated bibliography on the Civil War to appear in more than thirty years, Eicher's The Civil War in Books is a remarkable compendium of the best reading available about the worst conflict ever to strike the United States. The bibliography, the most valuable reference book on the subject since The Civil War Day by Day, will be essential for college and university libraries, dealers in rare and secondhand books, and Civil War buffs.

Download or read book Civil War Sourcebook written by Michael W Nance and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of Morgan County, Tennessee in the Civil War has received marginal attention for more than 150 years, likely because there were no significant battles fought within the county. However, Morgan County was a microcosm of the broader struggles experienced in East Tennessee during the war by both citizens and the military. It was here that the Confederates established Camp Schooler to exercise harsh control of the county's pro-Union population. It was here that General Ambrose Burnside's 23rd Corps of the Army of Ohio first fully assembled as they began their Union campaign to take control of East Tennessee. Through hundreds of hours of research, Terry and Michael have compiled the most complete records that characterize the Civil War and its aftermath in Morgan County. The book includes official records of the U.S. Government, relevant extracts from diaries and books written by soldiers about their experiences in Morgan County, newspaper accounts, war-related civilian court cases, and civilian claims against the government. Lastly, records related to notorious Confederate marauder Champ Ferguson, whose men brutally murdered prominent Morgan Countian Benjamin "Tolliver" Staples, are included. Whether you are a history buff or Civil War author, you will find this compilation of records to be a real treasure.
