Download or read book A Chautauqua Boy in the Civil War and Afterward Annotated written by David B. Parker and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No less authority than Albert Bushnell Hart, the "Grand Old Man" of American historians, wrote the introduction to this marvelous 1912 classic. Not only was David Parker's life exciting and eventful, the man could write a memoir that holds the reader through every page. David B. Parker was only 18 years old when he enlisted in the Union cause during the American Civil War. Yet he rose quickly and found himself in the company of the greatest men of his day. Parker knew "Fighting Joe" Hooker well, General George Gordon Meade—whom he thought cold and unlikable—a little, and was fortunate as to command the high regard of General Ulysses S. Grant. This book is unique. Young Parker did his share of fighting in the Peninsular Campaign of 1862, and has recorded some striking and entertaining things about the soldiers in the trenches, but it was as a courier, marshal, and later mail postmaster that he rose to prominence.Throughout the war he developed a talent for cutting red tape. He took dispatches between Grant and Abraham Lincoln and was briefed by Grant about the Overland Campaign so that Parker could organize the smooth running of the mails during that important end-of-war campaign. In 1868, Grant appointed Parker U.S. Marshal for Virginia. He ensured seating the first African-American on a jury. He dealt with moonshiners who from 1865 to 1869 had had their own way and were sometimes defended by ex-soldiers. The tales of Parker’s experience with counterfeiters and other desperate characters would easily suit a writer of detective novels. He also relates some interesting details about his acquaintance with Frederick Douglass.

Download or read book A Rebel in Two Federal Pens Annotated written by A Rifleman, ESQ and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know you're in for a humorous tale as soon as you see the author's pen name and read the Preface. Before Lee had even surrendered, A. Rifleman was quickly scribbling his memoirs, having just been released from five months in Yankee penitentiaries. With his remarkable (very colloquial) vocabulary and spelling, he entertains throughout, while exhorting you to understand that he is painting an unvarnished portrait. He even begs pardon from his fellow Southerners for mentioning examples of Yankee kindnesses to him while incarcerated. This Confederate soldier was obviously educated, however bad some of his spelling (why his editor didn't correct it is unknown). We have left it all intact. He even tosses in use of French and Latin, and makes up his own words where he feels it's necessary. "Any super-fastidious reader who objects to my word-coinage, is hereby informed, that he is at perfect liberty to draw his pencil through the obnoxious polysyllable..." Much has been written about the horrors of Andersonville and Libby in the South. The book is also valuable for its depiction of northern POW conditions during the American Civil War. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
