History of the Civil War: 1861-1865 (Classic Reprint) by James Ford Rhodes Pdf

Excerpt from History of the Civil War: 1861-1865 This is not an abridgment of my three volumes on the Civil War but a fresh study of the subject in which I have used my work as one of many authorities. Whenever I have transferred sentences, paragraphs and pages, I have done so because, after a study of the original authorities, I found that I could give my conclusions no better than in my first work. Since writing the three volumes, published respectively in 1895, 1899 and 1904, much new original material has come to light and valuable treatments of certain periods of the Civil War have appeared. I owe especial indebtedness to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies; Diary of Gideon Welles; Life of Rawlins, which J. H. Wilson kindly permitted me to read in manuscript before publication; the Letters and Diaries of John Hay; Miss Nicolay's Personal Traits of Lincoln; Life and Letters of General Meade; W. R. Livermore, Story of the Civil War; J. Bigelow, Jr., The Campaign of Chancellorsville; W. R. Thayer, Life of John Hay; The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz. I owe a literary revision of this volume to my son, Daniel P. Rhodes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Letters Written During the Civil War, 1861-1865 (Classic Reprint) by Charles F. Morse Pdf

Excerpt from Letters Written During the Civil War, 1861-1865 The Second Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was organized in April, 1861, immediately after the firing on Fort Sumter. Colonel George H. Gordon, Lieutenant-Colonel George L. Andrews and Major Wilder Dwight were the active spirits in creating the organization and in securing the acceptance of the regiment by the Secretary of War prior to the first call for troops by President Lincoln, May 4, 1861. The regiment was mustered into the military service of the United States in the month of May, 1861, at Camp Andrew, West Roxbury. It remained at this camp for drill and instruction about two months, and left Boston for the seat of War in Virginia, July 8, 1861. These letters, written to members of my family, record my experiences as an officer of this regiment during its term of service, from May, 1861, to July, 1865.

Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, 1861-1865 (Classic Reprint) by William F. Fox Pdf

Excerpt from Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, 1861-1865 To some it may appear that the publication of a work like this belongs properly within the province of the General Government, and that a citizen in private life should not presume to offer information on official matters. In reply it should be stated that this work is offered only as a convenient digest of official publications already issued by the General Government, or State Military Bureaus, to which have been added some original exhibits deduced from official statistics heretofore published and unpublished. The Adjutant-General's office at Washington has been engaged for several years on the publication of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The work is admirably done, but it is of surprising magnitude, and cannot be completed for many years. It already fills so many large volumes that it is too bulky and costly for the ordinary student. Then, again, there are peculiar and interesting deductions which do not come within the scope of the Government work, but which find a proper place within these pages. The present volume has been undertaken with the belief that a convenient and accurate summary of the official statistics would be an acceptable addition to the history of the war. Some details of minor importance have been omitted, as the work is designed for the benefit of advanced students, and it is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the more important points in the history of the events alluded to. There has been a dearth of official information regarding a certain class of regimental statistics which are essential to the history of the war, and are of interest, not only to the surviving participants, but to all who are interested in the story. Regimental affairs are of more importance to the average soldier than Corps or Army matters; and, so, an effort has been made to supply within these pages certain facts regarding regimental losses which are outside the province of the Government publications. It is with pleasure that acknowledgment is made of courtesies extended by the Adjutant-Generals of the various State Military Bureaus, and the Adjutant-General's office at Washington. Without their kindly assistance the work could not have been completed. No statistics are given here that are not warranted by the official records. The work represents the patient and conscientious labor of years. Days, and often weeks, have been spent on the figures of each regiment. It is hoped that before disputing any essential fact, a like careful examination of the records will be made. Having done that, if any fail to reconcile facts and statements, they will confer a favor by addressing a communication on the matter, so that an opportunity may be afforded to explain the seeming discrepancy, or, if an error, to correct it in a subsequent edition.

Recollections of a Cavalryman of the Civil War After Fifty Years by William Douglas Hamilton Pdf

Excerpt from Recollections of a Cavalryman of the Civil War After Fifty Years: 1861-1865 Years ago at one of the reunions of the Ninth Ohio Cavalry it was voted that I should write a history of our regiment. I was so occupied in business then that I could not find time to comply with their wishes. Now that I have had sufficient time I have carried out their request. With the help of some of my old comrades, I have undertaken to dig through the accumulated memories of fifty years and record incidents, - many of them commonplace enough to us then, but to which time has added a charm which warms our hearts to each other and to this dear land of ours. As a regiment the Ninth Ohio Cavalry, which belonged to the Army of the West, operated most of the time under general orders on its own responsibility. Often stationed quite in advance of the infantry, we were thus brought into close touch with the Southern people, and as a result dislikes on both sides were very much modified. Professional historians have written of the campaigns and battles of the Civil War. The incidents here preserved are side-lights on its dark background but they helped in a small way to modify the bitterness of it all.

Civil War Times by Daniel Wait Howe Pdf

Excerpt from Civil War Times: 1861-1865 In an address to the New England Society of New York, Oliver Wendell Holmes said: The story of the Pilgrims may be told for a thousand anniversaries and the next year it will be fresh again. So it is with the story of the Civil War. Notwithstanding the passing years, it retains all its interest, especially for those who bore arms on either side. The surviving veterans never tire of telling the story or of hearing it told, and its fascination is such as to lend a charm to even the most unpretentious narrative of the conflict in which they took part. Macaulay said that he intended to write a history of England that would make the lady in her drawing room lay down the latest novel and take up his book, and he accomplished his purpose. The time has not yet come, nor has the historian appeared, for writing a history of the Civil far. No man now living can write it with the impartiality that should characterize the historian, and no historian could now write such a history without rekindling the embers of passion and prejudice still smoldering beneath the ashes of the conflict that once glowed with such fierce heat.

Union College Alumni in the Civil War, 1861-1865 (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Healey Fearey Pdf

Excerpt from Union College Alumni in the Civil War, 1861-1865 The preparation of this Record has been a great pleasure because of the feeling that simple justice was being done those who served in the Civil War. It was intended to be a compilation of Official Records and is to a great degree, but some information, which seemed fairly reliable, could not be confirmed from official sources. Such records will be easily recognized by the absence of official dates. The Collegiate and honor degrees are given as of last known records. When officers stayed in the service after the war that fact is indicated. Brevet appointments were made "for gallant and meritorious services," which is implied where not stated. It is hoped that the publication of this highly creditable Civil War record of Union's Alumni will lead to the erection of a Permanent Memorial at the College. "Yea, let all good things await Him who cares not to be great But as he saves or serves the state. Not once or twice in our rough island-story The path of duty was the way to glory."
