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.

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.
