Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Chatham Artillery: During the Confederate Struggle for Independence The loss of Confederate records, and of private journals kept during the recent war is severely felt in writing a history even as partial as this. Details soon pass from the recollection, and facts which, with all their surroundings, we supposed at the time were graven \with the point of a diamond upon the tablets of memory, are, after the lapse of a comparatively Short period, Often recalled with difficulty and uncer tainty.

Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ...had been placed in position below the fort, was exploded by the Montauk while passing over it. It is believed that this vessel was injured by the explosion, as it took no active part in the subsequent bombardment of the fort a few days afterwards. The seventh, and by far the most powerful attack upon Fort McAllister was made on the 3d of March. Chagrined at their former defeats, the enemy appeared resolved on this occasion to compass the destruction of this heroic and already famous battery, and accordingly concentrated for its annihilation the following formidable fleet: The Passaic--a monitor--commander Drayton, armed with one fifteen-inch, and one eleven-inch Dahlgren gun. The Patapsco--a monitor--commander Ammen, carrying one fifteen-inch Dahlgren, and one two-hundred-pounder Parrott. The Montauk--a monitor--commander "Worden, with a battery of one fifteen-inch and one eleven-inch Dahlgren. The Nahant--a monitor--commander Downs, armed with one fifteen-inch and one eleven-inch Dahlgren. The Peira, Captain Tarbox, and two other thirteeninch mortar schooners. To complete the list, the gun-boats Wissahickon, Down, Sebago, Seneca and Flambeau, were present, and together with the Montauk constituted a reserve. Against this array the fort could oppose only its former guns, strengthened by the addition of a teninch Columbiad. The Federals evidently contemplated a successful issue, as General Seymour was present and had troops on steam boats ready to land and take possession of the fort so soon as the brave defenders should be driven from their guns by the terrible storm of enormous projectiles soon to burst in awful grandeur above, around, and within the limited confines of this small earth-work. The bombardment was commenced about...

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. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ...general announces to the forces, with satisfaction and pride, the results of the recent encounter of our battery at Genesis Point, Georgia, with an iron-clad of the monitor class--results only alloyed by the life-blood of'the gallant commander, the late Major John B. Gallie. For hours the most formidable vessel of her class hurled missiles of the heaviest calibre ever used in modern warfare at the weak parapet of the battery, which was almost demolished; but, standing at their guns as became men fighting for homes, for honor, and for independence, the garrison replied with such effect as to cripple and beat back their adversary although clad in impenetrable armor, and armed with fifteen and eleven-inch guns, supported by mortar boats, whose practice was of uncommon precision. The thanks of the country are clue to this intrepid garrison, who have thus shown what brave men may withstand and accomplish, despite apparent odds. Fort McAllister will be inscribed on the flags of all the troops engaged in the defense of the battery. By command of General Beauregard. Signed Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff. The section of the Chatham Artillery under the command of Lieut. "Whitehead--although present in the immediate neighborhood--took no active part in the engagement, there existing no necessity for the use of field guns. At this time the other section of the battery, Lieut. Askew commanding, was stationed on the Great Ogeechee near the crossing of the Atlantic and Gulf rail road. On the 28th of February the Nashville, in attempting to pass down the Great Ogeechee in order to run the blockade with a cargo of some seven hundred bales of cotton, besides a considerable quantity of resin and tobacco, got aground on a sand bar about a mile distant from...

Confederate Artillery Organizations: An Alphabetical Listing of the Officers and Batteries of the Confederacy, 18611865 is a remarkable, immensely useful, and exceedingly rare book containing the names of the officers and every Confederate artillery unit. It is so rare that most scholars in the field dont even know of its existence. It was originally published as simply Confederate Artillery Organizations by the U.S. War Department in 1898, one of Marcus J.Wrights compilation aids to help assemble and organize the massive publication that would appear as the 128-volume The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (1880-1901), known to researchers and students alike as simply Official Records. Editor Ray Sibley spent more than a decade researching the thousands of entries, correcting mistakes, and adding many artillery units and additional officers unknown to the original compilers more than a century ago. Sibley utilized archival records, manuscripts, letters, diaries, and other sources to verify the original work, correct mistakes, and add further useful information in the form of hundreds of valuable footnotes. This new updated and easy-to-use reference work sets forth the linage of the Confederate artillery. It lists, in alphabetical order, individual batteries to artillery regiments, the names and alternate names for the batteries and the names of the men who led them. Also included are the dates of acceptance into Confederate service for each unit. Most companies have an annotation that includes an alternate name (if there was one), and the date if a unit disbanded or was merged into another organization.The annotations for officers include date of appointment, date of promotion to a higher grade (if any), date of transfers (if any), date dropped from rolls (if any), and date relieved of command (if any). Confederate Artillery Organizations also contains four rare and hard-to-find lists of Confederate artillery officers: Memorandum of Artillery Officers, C. S. A., List of Officers Corps of Artillery, C. S. Army, on U.S. Register of 1861, Superintendents of Armories, and Military Store-Keeper of Ordnance. These lists illustrate the ranking of each officer in his respective grade. The extensive bibliography prepared by Mr. Sibley is an invaluable guide to Civil War historiography. Scholars, researchers, and students of the Civil War will be thankful Ray Sibley turned his considerable talents to this project. His tireless efforts made sure this rare book got back into print (including all digital formats), and turned what was once a valuable rare work into a reference book that is now both widely available and absolutely indispensable.

Drawing upon more than 200 eyewitness accounts, this work chronicles the largest troop surrender of the Civil War, at Greensboro--one of the most confusing, frustrating and tension-filled events of the war. Long overshadowed by Appomattox, this event was equally important in ending the war, and is much more representative of how most Americans in 1865 experienced the conflict's end. The book includes a timeline, organizational charts, an order of battle, maps, and illustrations. It also uses many unpublished accounts and provides information on Confederate campsites that have been lost to development and neglect.
