Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Army From Colonial Days to the Present Time, Vol. 2 The Campaign of Shiloh - The Army and Navy Invest New Madrid and Island No. 10 - Grant's Army Advances to Pittsburg Landing - Battle of Shiloh - Far Reaching Consequences of the Confederate Reverse. Meantime there had been hard fighting in the West with the broad general result that the advance into the Confederacy which Grant had begun with the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson had been stubbornly maintained. The Confederate armies had in the main been pushed back out of Tennessee. On the west bank of the Mississippi, New Madrid was the objective of a powerful military and naval expedition under General Pope and Commodore Foote, and together with the fortifications on Island No. 10, a sand bar in the middle of the river, long since washed away, gave the Federal forces serious occupation for many weeks. In the main the operations against these works were approaches by parallels and a vigorous bombardment. April 5th General Beauregard telegraphed to Richmond concerning the attack on New Madrid: "The enemy has thrown three thousand shells and burned fifty tons of gunpowder without injuring the effectiveness of our works, and killing but one man." The gunboats naturally took an active part in this cannonade, and the soldiers in the cold and muddy trenches by which New Madrid was hemmed in used to get impatient over the ineffective firing. "Well, what is the navy doing to-day?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Army From Colonial Days to the Present Time, Vol. 1 Two lanterns gleaming in the belfry of the Old North Church, which still stands looking down upon the Copp's Hill burying ground in Boston and upon the huddled homes of innumerable Italians who have made that part of the ancient American city their home, signalled the beginning of the American Revolution. Their flickering light faintly illumined the birth of the United States of America. On the farther shore of the tidal River Charles, on that midnight of April 18, 1775, stood Paul Revere, a young engraver of Boston, who had been often used as a courier by the Committee of Safety, which had been formed among the Colonists to resist British aggressions. It was vague rumor that the British, long cooped up in Boston, would move that night to Lexington and Concord to destroy the munitions of war that the Colonists had gathered there in distrust of what the future might have in store for them. More than that it was the British purpose to seize the bodies of two "pestilent agitators," John Hancock, whose name was afterward writ large at the head of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and stout Sam Adams, who deserves if does any man the title of "Father of the American Revolution."

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Book excerpt: A People's Army documents the many distinctions between British regulars and Massachusetts provincial troops during the Seven Years' War. Originally published by UNC Press in 1984, the book was the first investigation of colonial military life to give equal attention to official records and to the diaries and other writings of the common soldier. The provincials' own accounts of their experiences in the campaign amplify statistical profiles that define the men, both as civilians and as soldiers. These writings reveal in intimate detail their misadventures, the drudgery of soldiering, the imminence of death, and the providential world view that helped reconcile them to their condition and to the war.
