Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They departed Boston in August 1861 to a cheering crowd and the tune of "John Brown's Body."? Though some of these Andover soldiers would not "see the elephant"? until two years later, more than a quarter of them would never return to their beloved hometown. Drawing on journals, letters and newspaper articles, Andover in the Civil War chronicles the journey of these brave men and brings to life the efforts of those who remained on the homefront. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps were just two Andover citizens who threw themselves wholeheartedly into the Union cause.

Book Synopsis Andover, Massachusetts, in the World War (Classic Reprint) by : Claude Moore Fuess
Download or read book Andover, Massachusetts, in the World War (Classic Reprint) written by Claude Moore Fuess and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Andover, Massachusetts, in the World War "From this day forward we shall know That in ourselves our safety must be sought; That by our own right hands it must be wrought, That we must stand unpropped, or be laid low." Of those residents of Andover who, on the sunny morning of June 30, 1914, glanced at the unimpressive newspaper headlines announcing the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, not one had the faintest premonition of its tragic consequences. Here, as in Boston or Chicago or Denver, people on their way to work passed indifferently over the brief paragraph which told of the crime, and then turned the page to the baseball scores or the weather predictions, - possibly to the latest reports from Ulster or from Mexico or from the Caillaux trial. We had never, as a people, been very much agitated by the disasters of foreign dynasties; and Serajevo seemed very far away. Yet in less than four years, Yankee boys by the thousands were to be billeted in European countries, shedding their blood upon the soil of France, - all because of the spark which, on that momentous summer day, was set to the powder magazine of international politics. For some weeks, however, all was comparatively calm. The serenity of the vacation period was undisturbed. Then, as July drew to a close, war clouds began to gather, and, when August opened, the storm was bursting upon an astonished world. The breach between Austria and Serbia, widening rapidly, involved Germany and Russia, and then France. And when, on August 4, Great Britain, righteously indignant at the German invasion of neutral Belgium, joined forces with France and Russia, Andover, like every other American community, was made aware of the terror which Europe was facing. It would be inaccurate to assert that the sympathies of all Andover citizens were, from the beginning, actively on the side of the Allies. President Woodrow Wilson, on August 18, issued the customary formal declaration of our neutrality, and many persons, - probably the majority, - approved his course. But the rush of German hordes into a helpless adjacent state met with the instinctive resentment of thoughtful men.

Book Synopsis Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover by : Edward L. Bell
Download or read book Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover written by Edward L. Bell and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Andover--which includes North Andover and Lawrence--became famous as a hot center of pre-Civil War antislavery activism. Why then was a 100-year-old Andover woman officially counted as a "slave" in the 1830 federal census for Massachusetts, a "free" state that had abolished slavery? And who was Rosanna Coburn, still remembered as the "last slave" born in Andover? Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover brings forward indispensable research discoveries about fascinating people of many ancestries and heritages, connected together and integral to New England histories, artifacts, cultural traditions, and historic places. Their ordinary and extraordinary lives in historical Andover and surrounding localities are remembered today, some even internationally. This study's essential findings, informative endnotes, and a bibliography of incisive sources deepen views of the persistent echoes of enslavement, emancipation, and postemancipation in Atlantic World and global perspective.

Book excerpt: Andover, geographically one of the largest townships in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has a long and illustrious history.

Book Synopsis Something Abides: Discovering the Civil War in Today's Vermont by : Howard Coffin

This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the help of this book, Civil War sites can be located as in no other state, taking the reader through the beautiful Vermont landscape of hill farms and small towns that looks more like the Civil War era than that of any other state. Years after the Civil War, Oliver Wendell Holmes spoke for his fellow Civil War veterans when he said, "In our youth, our hearts were touched by fire." Today, throughout Vermont, it is possible to identify hundreds and hundreds of Civil War-related sites. Throughout Vermont are soldier homes, halls where war meetings encouraged enlistments, churches where soldier funerals were held and abolitionists spoke, monuments to those who served, hospital sites, and homes where women gathered to make items for the soldiers. The Vermont State House is a virtual Civil War museum. A building survives in Woodstock where the war was administered. Cemeteries hold the gravestones of many of the 34,000 who fought. A field even exists where in 1803 a Quaker preacher heard a voice from above fortell a bloody war over slavery. With the help of this book, Civil War sites can be located as in no other state, taking the reader through the beautiful Vermont landscape of hill farms and small towns that looks more like the Civil War era than that of any other state.
Book Synopsis Now or Never! by : Ray Anthony Shepard
Download or read book Now or Never! written by Ray Anthony Shepard and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book Here is the riveting dual biography of two little-known but extraordinary African-American Union soldiers in Civil War history—George E. Stephens and James Henry Gooding. Stephens and Gooding not only served in the Massachusetts 54th Infantry, the well-known black regiment, but were also war correspondents who published eyewitness reports of the battlefields. Their dispatches told the truth of their lives at camp, their intense training, and the dangers and tragedies on the battlefield. Like the other thousands of black soldiers in the regiment, they not only fought against the Confederacy and the inhumanity of slavery, but also against injustice in their own army. The regiment’s protest against unfair pay resulted in America’s first major civil rights victory—equal pay for African American soldiers. This fresh perspective on the Civil War includes an author’s note, timeline, bibliography, index and source notes.
