Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many infantry brigades in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, John Bell Hood's Texas Brigade earned the reputation as perhaps the premier unit. From 1862 until Lee's surrender at Appomattox, the brigade fought in most of the major campaigns in the Eastern Theater and several more in the Western, including the Seven Days, Second Manassas (Second Bull Run), Sharpsburg (Antietam), Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Knoxville, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, the siege of Richmond and Petersburg, and Appomattox. Distinguished for its fierce tenacity and fighting ability, the brigade suffered some of the war's highest casualties. This volume chronicles Hood's Texas Brigade from its formation through postwar commemorations, providing a soldier's-eye view of the daring and bravery of this remarkable unit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of Lee's most dependable brigades" Harold Simpson, Civil War History The Texas Brigade distinguished itself for its dogged tenacity and tremendous fighting ability throughout the American Civil War. As a division of the Army of Northern Virginia these Texans fought in most battles that Lee led his army to, the only exception was Chancellorsville, but the brigade more than made up for it by combating the Union at Suffolk, Chickamauga, and Nashville. J. B. Polley, at the age of only twenty-one when the war broke out, enlisted in Company F of the Fourth Texas Infantry, a regiment in Hood's Brigade. His eyewitness account, along with the reminiscences of many of his comrades and numerous battle reports written various generals form the basis of his book. Although commonly known as "Hood's Texas Brigade" Polley explains that the Brigade was initially formed by John Allen Wilcox and under the command of Louis T. Wigfall before it came under the control of the brave, and at times reckless, leader John Bell Hood who gave the brigade its eponymous name. Polley takes the reader through the actions of the brigade battle by battle, interspersing these engagements with details on their lives through the war. Hood's Texas Brigade, along with the Stonewall Brigade, were considered to be the Confederate Army's best shock troops. By the end of the war of those who had enlisted only ten per cent remained to surrender at Appomattox. This book is essential reading for anyone interesting in one of the most important Confederate regiments and the impact that they made on the war between the states. J. B. Polley served valiantly through the American Civil War and saw many major engagements. He was eventually forced out of the army after he lost a foot at the Battle of Darbytown Road in October, 1864. After the war he became a lawyer and was commissioned by the Hood's Texas Brigade Association to write Hood's Texas Brigade, which was published in 1910. He died in Texas in 1918.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hood's Texas Brigade: Its Marches, Its Battles, Its Achievements Events are related in the order of their occurrence; and since deeds speak louder than words, the privilege of character izing the conduct and performances of individuals, singly and collectively, is left to the reader. Fortitude and courage, trial, endurance, hardship and privation, speak for themselves and need no aid from adjectives and' adverbs. Much has been omitted that, forty years ago, would have been of interest, but now would burden the story, and only such movements and operations of the Confederate armies are mentioned as are necessary to show the relation of Hood's Texas Brigade to other commands. The righteousness of the cause for which it fought and suffered is taken as granted and confessed by every fair - minded native-born American. In brief, the effort of the author has been to relate the acts and achievements of the Southern soldiers whose place was at the front, on the firing line - his own feelings being in perfect accord with those of the writer of the following verses.

Book Synopsis Hood & His Texas Brigade During the American Civil War by : J. B. Polley
Download or read book Hood & His Texas Brigade During the American Civil War written by J. B. Polley and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2015-11-07 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famous Confederate commander and the elite force that bore his name The American Civil War, which split the nation's small officer cadre in two, inevitably ensured many young officers from both Union and Confederate states would reach high rank. Some of those men earned abiding fame. One of the subjects of this book, John Bell Hood, needs little introduction to any student of the period. Hood, a veritable 'Viking warrior' of a figure epitomised the dash, daring and aggressive command in action which typified the cream of the officer corps of the Confederate Army and his leadership qualities elevated him from the rank of First-Lieutenant, USA to Lieutenant-General, CSA. Initially he directly led the equally renowned hard fighting infantry of his 'Texas Brigade, ' consisting of the 1st, 4th and 5th Texas Infantry together with the 18th Georgia Infantry and, later, the 3rd Arkansas Infantry. There was, of course, a justifiable glamour associated with these men from the 'wild' west, particularly when led by the imposing figure, character and military talent of Hood. 'Hood's Texas Brigade' amply justified their reputation as a force to be reckoned with and, along with the 'Stonewall Brigade, ' were thought of as the 'shock troops' of the Army of Northern Virginia. They saw action in many of the pivotal engagements of the conflict including, of course, at Gettysburg where they came under Hood's divisional command. This book combines a detailed history of the services of 'Hood's Texas Brigade' with a short biography of John Bell Hood, who was ultimately transferred to the western theatre of the conflict and the Army of Tennessee.

Book Synopsis Hood's Texas Brigade by : Susannah J. Ural
Download or read book Hood's Texas Brigade written by Susannah J. Ural and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia was one of the best units to fight on either side in the American Civil War. Three factors made that success possible: their strong self-identity as Confederates, the mutual respect shared between the brigade's junior officers and their men, and a constant desire to maintain their reputation not just as Texans, but also as the best soldiers in Robert E. Lee's army and all the Confederacy. Hood's Texas Brigade is a study of the soldiers and families of this elite unit that challenges key historical arguments about soldier motivation, volunteerism and desertion, home front morale, and veterans' postwar adjustment.

Book excerpt: Most students of the American Civil War know about the terrible fighting that occurred at Cold Harbor in Hanover County, Virginia, from June 1-3, 1864. However, few know about the severe cavalry fighting leading up to the battle of Cold Harbor. From May 27 to June 1, the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac and the Cavalry Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia slugged it out at places like Hanovertown, Haw's Shop, Matadequin Creek, Hanover Court House, Ashland, and, finally, Cold Harbor itself, setting the stage for the well-known infantry battle that broke out on the afternoon of June 1, 1864. One cannot truly understand how the battle of Cold Harbor played out unless one also understands how the armies got there. This book brings the armies to the battle of Cold Harbor. The May 28, 1864, battle of Haw's Shop was considered the harshest cavalry battle of the war to date; but, it was eclipsed two weeks later by the battle of Trevilian Station. Haw's Shop marked Maj. Gen. Wade Hampton's emergence as the new commander of the Army of Northern Virginia's Cavalry Corps in the wake of the death of the lamented cavalry chief, Maj. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, 16 days earlier. This is the first monograph dedicated to telling the story of these largely overlooked cavalry battles. Familiar characters such as Philip H. Sheridan, Fitzhugh Lee, George A. Custer, and David M. Gregg play significant roles in these battles. So, too, do lesser-known participants. Approximately 70 photographs and 25 maps grace this book's pages.
