This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Great anxiety is expressed by all to reach home by the Fourth of July, which at present looks very probable. But, dear Journal, I cannot write, I feel too good." Jenk Jones would make it home on the 3rd of July, 1865. After three long years away from home with the 6th Wisconsin Artillery Battery, his reunion with family was, to him, indescribably joyful. Much had changed but the bonds remained the same. Along the way he'd seen horror and bloodshed, heartbreak, lost friends, and final victory. He was at Vicksburg and other major battles and kept "Mr. Journal" throughout, with the exception of his time in quarantine for smallpox. He recorded the ecstasy of news that Richmond had fallen, followed by Lee's surrender soon after. He writes of the sorrow he and his comrades felt at the news of Lincoln's assassination and how they all felt they'd lost a family member. Frontline diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
Book Synopsis Three Years and a Day: 1862-1865 (Abridged, Annotated) by : Stephen Millett Thompson
Download or read book Three Years and a Day: 1862-1865 (Abridged, Annotated) written by Stephen Millett Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-05 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the thousands of regimental histories, Civil War diaries, and Civil War letters, this volume stands out. The 13th New Hampshire Volunteer Regiment fought in some of the most important and memorable actions of the American Civil War, including Cold Harbor and the siege of Petersburg.But this is more than just another regimental history. Drawn from diaries, letters, and conversations with former comrades, Lieutenant Stephen Millett Thompson crafted one of the finest memoirs of the war. All of the horror, humor, and absurdity of war is captured here in sardonic true story that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the period.As Thompson writes, "...the Thirteenth, as well as the army as a whole, laughed far more than it wept, and will remember its enjoyments far beyond the fading of its woes." Yet the tears are here as well, as is the horror. There is something emotionally raw in this account that is captured superbly in Thompson's prose and in the writings of his regimental brethren.A comrade wrote to Thompson, "I remember that while we were lying there, the gun wads or cartridge bags from the rebel cannon fell among us burning and stinking, and the men near us tossed them away with their bayonets; we could feel the wind and warmth of the fire of the rebel cannon on our faces and hands, and the place was somewhat lighted up by the flashes of the guns."Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Book excerpt: The following Diary covering the interesting period of the Civil War from January 1, to December 31, 1864, and a portion of 1865 to the surrender of General R. E. Lee at Appomattox Court House, Va., was kept by the Author at the age of twenty-two when an officer of the Tenth Regiment Vermont Volunteer Infantry, Third and First Brigade, Third Division, Third and Sixth Corps respectively, Army of the Potomac, and is a brief war history as seen by a young soldier literally from the front line of battle during General U. S. Grant's celebrated campaign from the Rapidan River to Petersburg, Va., and Gen. P. H. Sheridan's famous Shenandoah Valley campaign in the summer and fall of 1864. During this time the Author passed from the grades of Second to First Lieutenant and Captain, and commanded in the meantime in different battles five or more companies in his regiment which afforded an excellent opportunity to make a fairly interesting general diary of the fighting qualities of his regiment and especially of the companies which he commanded during that most interesting period of the Civil War when the backbone of the Rebellion was broken, which, together with Sherman and Thomas' cooperations led to the surrender of General R. E. Lee at Appomattox C. H. April 9, 1865.

He saw action in all the major battles of that campaign and was severely injured while with Sheridan at the Battle of Opequon (Third Battle of Winchester).Abbott kept a diary during his time in the American Civil War and his descriptions are vivid and compelling. As he lay wounded at Opequon, he nevertheless could not take his eyes of the frenetic Sheridan, commanding the field like a chess player while mounted on Rienzi, his black steed."My first wound was from the butt end of an exploding shell in the breast which maimed and knocked me down and simultaneously as I felt a minie ball fired but a rod away in my front just grazed my forehead, torn through my upper lip crushing both jaws and carrying away eleven teeth, the most painless dentistry I ever had done; but, Oh! the shock it gave my system and the misery I suffered that night!"Despite his wounds, he returned to service and remained with the Federal Army until Appomattox. He then made a career in the army until mustered out in 1883 due to complications from his Civil War wounds.Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it, and this is one of the best.

Book Synopsis Illinois Artillery Officer's Civil War by : Gordon Armstrong
Download or read book Illinois Artillery Officer's Civil War written by Gordon Armstrong and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Cheney was a well educated businessman living in Dixon, Illinois. In 1862 he raised an artillery company-Battery F, 1st Illinois Light Artillery-and served as its captain. Battery F fought in the Western Theatre in the Army of the Tennessee (Gens. Grant and Sherman). This volume draws on 318 entries from Cheney's Civil War diary and 100 letters he wrote home to his wife, plus additional documents, photos, and material relating to his life before, during and after the war. Cheney's letters and diary entries have a warmth and intimacy that is unusual in writing of that time. John Cheney served out a strong sense of duty to the country that had provided him with security and opportunity. Over time he developed health problems that tested that sense of duty. Cheney was entirely absorbed in his activities when in combat or advancing on Confederate troops. During times of inactivity he suffered boredom and experienced loneliness being separated from his wife and two children. During the Atlanta campaign, his 11-year-old son Royce accompanied him. Cheney was an ordinary man doing his best in the extraordinary occurrences of war.
