Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reminiscence of Washington and Early's Attack in 1864 I soon learned that there were those whose conduct had rendered this strictness necessary. I can recall to-day the gloom - the depression of spirits preceding an impending crisis - that pervaded the entire North just before Grant started through the Wilderness - an awful quiet which preceded the storm of battle. The people realized that an important crisis had come, and a death struggle was at hand. This had just begun as I reached Washington anxious to join my battery and take a part in the campaign then opening. I found my battery at Camp Barry - the artillery camp of instruction - with its re-enlisted veterans returned from furlough, its ranks strengthened with recruits, and awaiting expected orders to go to the front. Owing to formalities required it was some days before I was regularly mustered into the United States service. I improved my spare time in visiting the public buildings and grounds, and making a trip to Alexandria, where I visited the Marshall House, in which Elsworth had been killed; saw the stockades built to protect the city from surprise by a sudden assault of the enemy's cavalry, and examined some of the earthworks surrounding it. I saw there the first slave-pen 1 had ever seen - the old slave-mart where, previous to the war, Virginia slave-stock had been bought and sold - now converted into a prison. It seemed, even then, a relic of a past and barbarous age. There it stood, visible evidence of a wrong that had a legal existence, which, in the light of to-day, seems an impossibility.

Book excerpt: I saw there the first slave-pen I had ever seen - the old slave-mart where, previous to the war, Virginia slave-stock had been bought and sold - now converted into a prison. It seemed, even then, a relic of a past and barbarous age. There it stood visible evidence of a wrong that had a legal existence, which, in the light of today, seems an impossibility. But the saddest of all my experience in Washington was the result I witnessed of the dreadful carnage of the battlefield, when boat load after boat load of wounded soldiers from Grant's fighting-ground arrived from Belle Plains. The horrible wounds I then saw, and the suffering, left a strong and vivid impression upon my memory. I realized then what war was, and what soldiers, as brave men, are expected to endure. The sense of pain and sympathy with the wounded was strong and intense at first as we saw individual cases, but became deadened after beholding the multitude of wounded men and the magnitude of their suffering. Men with frightful injuries were trying with patience and quiet endurance to suppress any manifestation of their evident pain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of the nation hung in the balance for two hot July days in 1864. After two weeks of hard marching, Gen. Jubal A. Early had positioned his troops outside of Washington. General Robert E. Lee was relying on Early to relieve the pressure Ulysses S. Grant was putting on Petersburg. "Old Jeb" possess the right mix a brash independence and fierce loyalty to the southern cause to stage a convincing attack on the enemy capital - Mr. Lincoln's City. Jubal Early's famous "raid" was to be the last Confederate invasion, yet it's severely shook the Union leadership. President Lincoln drove out to see how things were going each day of the attack. Traditionally seen as a prelude to the Valley Campaign of 1864, the author asserts that the July battles for Washington and Maryland were possibly even more pivotal. For the Civil War historian and buff alike, this book provides a fresh interpretation of this fascinating episode in American history. -- Publisher.

This book was released on 2008-01-28 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cooling has produced what is sure to become the definitive scholarly account of the campaign. Drawing on a vast array of sources, including seldom-used veterans' accounts, Cooling presents a comprehensive campaign study from origins to aftermath. Not only does Cooling masterfully describe the specific movements of the opposing forces, but he also never loses sight of the wider context in which the campaign was fought. In fact, Cooling's greatest contribution may be his clear demonstration that Grant was fooled by Early's operations and took an uncommonly long time to react to a very serious threat."--American Historical Review "Cooling's superb account of one of the most dramatic ventures of the Civil War, one the peaked with a Confederate army at the gate of the nation's capital even as powerful Union forces threatened a clamp on the capital of Rebeldom . . . reflects most intensive research and provides a strictly objective account of the doings of both sides in the course of Early's thrust at Washington, from his entry into Maryland until his withdrawal back into Virginia."--Journal of Military History

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1864, after three bloody years of civil war and with victory seemingly within reach for the Northern armies, John Brough, Ohio's energetic wartime governor, offered his state's militia for 100 days of federal service. Ordered east for duty in forts, railways, and prisons, they freed veteran troops to make the last great push against Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy. History soon overtook the Ohioans, however. They fought at Monocacy with Lew Wallace and under the watchful eye of Abraham Lincoln at Fort Stevens. They battled Mosby and other feared Southern guerrillas in Virginia and West Virginia. They fell to John Hunt Morgan's cavalry in Kentucky. They toiled and fought against thunderous Petersburg.

This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer and fall of 1864, Virginia's Shenandoah Valley was one of the most contested regions of the South. Federal armies invaded the Valley three times--twice they were repulsed. This book describes the third campaign, the supreme achievement of the Army of the Potomac's Sixth Corps. One of the most respected units in the Federal Army, the Sixth Corps formed the nucleus of the Federal force that spent several months competing for control of the Valley with a desperate Confederate army, resulting in some of the toughest fighting of the war. Following victories at Winchester and Fisher's Hill the Sixth Corps campaign culminated with a remarkable stand that stopped the attacking enemy and turned what began as a disastrous defeat into a spectacular victory at Cedar Creek.

Download or read book The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot written by Benjamin Franklin Cooling and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot: The Fort Stevens Story recounts the story of President Abraham Lincoln’s role in the Battle of Fort Stevens in July 1864. This engagement stands apart in American history as the only time a sitting American president came under enemy fire while in office. In this new study of this overlooked moment in American history, Cooling poses a troubling question: What if Lincoln had been shot and killed during this short battle, nine months prior to his death by John Wilkes Booth’s hand in Ford's Theater? A potential pivotal moment in the Civil War, the Battle of Fort Stevens could have changed—with Lincoln's demise—the course of American history. The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot, however, is more than a meditation on an alternate history of the United States. It is also a close study of the attempt by Confederate general Jubal Early to capture Washington, DC, to remove Lincoln and the Union government from power, and to turn the tide of the Civil War in the South's favor. The dramatic events of this attempt to capture Washington—and the president with it—unfold in stunning detail as Cooling taps fresh documentary sources and offers a new interpretation of this story of the defense of the nation’s capital. Commemorating this largely forgotten and under-appreciated chapter in the study of Lincoln and the Civil War, The Day Lincoln Was Almost Shot is a fascinating look at this potential turning point in American history.
