Book Synopsis I Am Fighting for the Union by : Henry Willis Wells
Download or read book I Am Fighting for the Union written by Henry Willis Wells and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 18 May 1862, Henry Willis Wells wrote a letter to his mother telling her in clear terms, "I am fighting for the Union." Since August 1861, when he joined the US Navy as a master's mate, at age twenty, he never wavered in his loyalty. He wrote to his family frequently that he considered military service a necessary and patriotic duty, and the career that ensued was a dramatic one, astutely and articulately documented by Wells himself in over 200 letters home, leaving an insightful, detailed, and invaluable account of daily life in the Union Navy. Prior to the start of the war, Wells's considerable merchant marine experience qualified him to join the service as a junior officer. Thus, he was a part of the naval hierarchy where he was able to witness some events, consequences, temperaments, and relationships, that senior officers above him and seamen below often could not. His family, who lived in Brookline, Massachusetts, served as his outlet to fully express his wartime observations and sentiments, and his correspondence fully presents his personality and thoughts, observations and experiences. At fifteen years of age Henry signed on for a West Coast voyage on the clipper ship Ocean Telegraph on her first cruise. During the trip Wells kept a journal. In it, as he would in his later letters home, he revealed his enquiring character and a desire to learn the duties and business of the ship, even navigation. This journey matured an impressionable young man into a more worldly and cosmopolitan individual. He later found employment on other merchant ships, and in between voyages he also trained at the Boston Mercantile and Nautical College, studying dead reckoning and navigation. He joined the navy shortly after the war began, initially aboard the Cambridge, attached to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, which patrolled the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. He witnessed the Battle of Hampton Roads and the fight between the ironclads, CSS Virginia, and the USS Monitor. They blockaded Wilmington, North Carolina and chased the schooner J. W. Pindar ashore during her attempt to run the blockade, when Henry's boarding party was captured by Confederate forces. After a short prison stay in the infamous Libby Prison in Richmond, his Confederate captors paroled Henry. He travelled back to Brookline, and soon thereafter the Navy Department assigned him to the gunboat Ceres, which operated on the sounds and rivers of North Carolina, protecting army positions ashore. Henry was on board during the Confederate attempt to capture Washington, North Carolina. During this April 1863 attack Henry was instrumental in the town's defense, commanding a naval battery ashore during the latter part of the fight. His exceptional service gained him a transfer to a larger warship, the USS Montgomery, and later Gem of the Sea, part of the East Gulf Blockading Squadron. Through his hard work and professionalism, he finally earned his first command. In September 1864, he became the commanding officer of the Rosalie, a sloop used as a tender to the local warships. Later he commanded the schooner Annie, also a tender. At the end of December 1864, however, the Annie suffered a massive explosion, killing all hands, including Wells. He was twenty-three years old when his life and career ended tragically. Wells's letters document both his considerable achievements and his frustrations. As a volunteer officer from the merchant service, he had to pass an examination on seamanship, navigation, and gunnery. But these volunteers proved to be critical to the navy, even though regular officers often viewed the volunteers as less efficient, unknowledgeable, and unworthy of command. Wells initially experienced this prejudice on each ship he served, yet he overcame these preconceived notions, due to his knowledge and experience, as well as his outstanding work ethic, command presence and his good nature. Yet his service was often emotionally difficult for him. Despite his years of experience and training, the navy assigned him more junior positions than many other men with vastly less skills and proficiency. In his correspondence he discusses shipmates with little or no time at sea and yet who were senior to him. His correspondence is always candid. He addressed most of his letters to his mother, as well his two sisters, in a manner straightforward and to the point regarding those he served with. He frequently discusses news of the wider world, as well as his opinions, wants, and wishes; his messmates and fellow officers; and his health, homesickness, the challenges of his vocation. His letters are also replete with his efforts to improve himself. In his spare time, Henry studied French and read some of the classics of literature and history, but he also tried to improve his professional knowledge by studying navigation and gunnery"--

This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Writing of American Military History: A Guide should stimulate intelligent probing into the past with an eye to the future. This, in turn, should lead to increased wisdom and, therefore, to wiser decisions and better execution throughout the Army in peace and war.The primary purpose of this text is to bring order out of chaos in the fields of historical study and research in the United States Army. In line with the views of Clausewitz, the principal object of the text is to stimulate a progressive and scientific study of United States military history and leadership with the hope that it will "produce searching rather than inventive minds and cool rather than hot heads," to which the safety of our country can be most advantageously entrusted in time of emergency or war.All officers of the United States Army, but particularly those having historical assignments and undergoing instruction at the service schools and colleges or civilian educational institutions, will find the text helpful. Scholars and others interested in American military affairs may also find it very useful.The Writing of American Military History: A Guide was orginally published by the Department of the Army in June 1956.
