As the Civil War entered its first full calendar year for the Old Dominion, Virginians began to experience the full ramifications of the conflict. Their expectations for the coming year did not prepare them for what was about to happen; in 1862 the war became earnest and real, and the state became then and thereafter the major battleground of the war in the East. Virginia emerged from the year 1861 in much the same state of uncertainty and confusion as the rest of the Confederacy. While the North was known to be rebuilding its army, no one could be sure if the northern people and government were willing to continue the war. The landscape and the people of Virginia were a part of the battlefield. Virginia at War, 1862 demonstrates how no aspect of life in the Commonwealth escaped the war's impact. The collection of essays examines topics as diverse as daily civilian life and the effects of military occupation, the massive influx of tens of thousands of wounded and sick into Richmond, and the wartime expansion of Virginia's industrial base, the largest in the Confederacy. Out on the field, Robert E. Lee's army was devastated by the Battle of Antietam, and Lee strove to rebuild the army with recruits from the interior of the state. Many Virginians, however, were far behind the front lines. A growing illustrated press brought the war into the homes of civilians and allowed them to see what was happening in their state and in the larger war beyond their borders. To round out this volume, indefatigable Richmond diarist Judith McGuire continues her day-by-day reflections on life during wartime. The second in a five-volume series examining each year of the war, Virginia at War, 1862 illuminates the happenings on both homefront and battlefield in the state that served as the crucible of America's greatest internal conflict.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vi operations on the peninsula, 1862 the Confederate forces occupying the Peninsula between James and York rivers, at that time were under the command of General J. B. Magruder. A line of defense had been established from Yorktown across the Peninsula to the Warwick and James rivers. General Magruder had under his command about eleven thousand men. General McClellan, then in command of the Federal Army of the Potomac, had abandoned the old route by way of Manassas and transferred his army to the Peninsula with the purpose of advancing upon Richmond by that route, with his base of supplies on York River. He advanced his army up the Peninsula from Fortress Monroe, and on the 4th of April appeared in front of the line occupied by the Confederates. This line of defense was a very strong one, but General Magruder, who knew of McClellan's change of base, when he realized the presence of the enemy in such overwhelming numbers, called lustily for reinforcements. The defense put up by General Magruder before he was reinforced was one of the most heroic of the war. In his report of this siege he says: From the 4th of April till the 3d of May this army served almost without relief in the trenches. Many companies of artillery were never relieved during this long period. It rained almost incessantly; the trenches were filled with water. No fires could be allowed. The artillery and infantry of the enemy general magrudeb 51 played upon our men almost continuously, day and night. The army had neither coffee, sugar, nor hard bread, but subsisted on flour and salt meats, and these in reduced quantities, and yet no murmurs were heard. The best drilled regulars the world has ever seen would have mutinied under a continuous service of twenty-nine d

Excerpt from The Dark Days of the Civil War, 1861 to 1865: The West Virginia Campaign of 1861, Antietam and Harper's Ferry Campaign of 1862, the East Tennessee Campaign of 1863, the Atlanta, Campaign of 18664 It is the duty of every participant to give the future generation the benefit of his personal experience when able to do so, as no of ficial statement can convey an adequate idea of the sufferings and sacrifice endured by the thousands of men, the flower of the Ameri can youth, who have gone down to their graves practically un known, and whose achievements are forgotten. Therefore I offer these personal recollections of the war, feeling that they should be written before the facts have faded from the memory of the living. In this attempt I have omitted much, and have added nothing to a truthful history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, to Washington, the capital of the Union, Virginia was the site of many of the most significant battles of the Civil War. Civil War Explorer: Virginia, 1861-1862 contains a lively, informative text that places all battles in their proper context. Not simply armchair history, the book also contains extensive driving tours from Hampton Roads in southeastern Virginia to Harpers Ferry in West Virginia. Included are tours of the First Manassas Campaign, Hampton Roads, the Peninsula Campaign, Civil War Richmond, the Seven Days Battle, the Second Manassas Campaign, Antietam, and Harpers Ferry. Civil War Explorer: Virginia 1861-1862 is the first of four volumes in The Civil War Campaigns Series to cover the war in the East. Five previous books (all selections of the History Book Club) have coveted the war in the West: Fields of Glory, Paths to Victory, To The Sea, Piercing the Heartland, and A River Unvexed.
