Book Synopsis Confederate, US and Other Civil War Used Spurs by : Bob Baird
Download or read book Confederate, US and Other Civil War Used Spurs written by Bob Baird and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Howard Crouch did the groundbreaking work on American spurs in his book, Historic American Spurs, which, until now, represented the only available reference on such spurs. Confederate, US and Other Civil War Used Spurs now takes Crouch's work to the next level in its examination of Civil War era used spurs. Features of spurs, such as buckles, rowels, strap plates, file and sanding marks will help you distinguish between Civil War era spurs and post-war lookalikes. Confederate spurs are emphasized and Crouch's classification system of CS 1, CS 2 and so on is continued and new spurs that are identified as Confederate are included. Private Purchase or Civilian spurs of the Civil War and earlier periods are examined as many of these were also worn into battle. US spurs are also examined with an emphasis on unusual variations of the standard US Model 1859, as well as officers Eagle and Dolphin spurs. 8.5 x 5.5 size and approximately 135 pages. All photos are in color and several examples of each type spur are shown, as appropriate.
Book Synopsis Cavalryman of the Lost Cause by : Jeffry D. Wert
Download or read book Cavalryman of the Lost Cause written by Jeffry D. Wert and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, this major biography of J.E.B. Stuart—the first in two decades—uses newly available documents to draw the fullest, most accurate portrait of the legendary Confederate cavalry commander ever published. • Major figure of American history: James Ewell Brown Stuart was the South’s most successful and most colorful cavalry commander during the Civil War. Like many who die young (Stuart was thirty-one when he succumbed to combat wounds), he has been romanticized and popular- ized. One of the best-known figures of the Civil War, J.E.B. Stuart is almost as important a figure in the Confederate pantheon as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. • Most comprehensive biography to date: Cavalryman of the Lost Cause is based on manuscripts and unpublished letters as well as the latest Civil War scholarship. Stuart’s childhood and family are scrutinized, as is his service in Kansas and on the frontier before the Civil War. The research in this biography makes it the authoritative work.

Download or read book Attack and Die written by Grady McWhiney and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the Confederacy lose so many men? The authors contend that the Confederates bled themselves nearly to death in the first three years of the war by making costly attacks more often than the Federals. Offensive tactics, which had been used successfully by Americans in the Mexican War, were much less effective in the 1860s because an improved weapon - the rifle - had given increased strength to defenders. This book describes tactical theory in the 1850s and suggests how each related to Civil War tactics. It also considers the development of tactics in all three arms of the service during the Civil War.

Download or read book Bitter Trail written by Elmer Kelton and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 1997-06-15 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bitter Trail, Kelton tells the story of a tough teamster named Frio Wheeler whose wagons haul cotton from Texas to Mexico. Sounds like a peaceable enterprise? The problem is that the Civil War is raging throughout the South and Wheeler's cotton is to be sold for gold--gold used to buy guns and ammunition for the Confederate army. And, added to his balky mules, the broiling heat, and killing drought of the Mexican dessert, Wheeler has even more serious matters to contend with: His wagons are attacked, his cotton bales are burned, he is captured and tortured by bandidos in league with Union sympathizers, and he is betrayed by his best friend--his former partner and brother of the woman he loves!

Book Synopsis The Regular Army Before the Civil War 1845 - 1860 by : Clayton R. Newell
Download or read book The Regular Army Before the Civil War 1845 - 1860 written by Clayton R. Newell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most civil wars do not spring up overnight, and the American Civil War was no exception. The seeds of the conflict were sown in the earliest days of the republic's founding, primarily over theexistence of slavery and the slave trade. Although no conflict can begin without the conscious decisions of those engaged in the debates at that moment, in the end, there was simply no way topaper over the division of the country into two camps: one that was dominated by slavery and the other that sought first to limit its spread and then to abolish it. Our nation was indeed “half slave and half free,” and that could not stand.Regardless of the factors tearing the nation asunder, the soldiers on each side of the struggle went to war for personal reasons: looking for adventure, being caught up in the passionsand emotions of their peers, believing in the Union, favoring states' rights, or even justifying the simple schoolyard dynamic of being convinced that they were “worth” three of the soldierson the other side. Nor can we overlook the factor that some went to war to prove their manhood. This has been, and continues to be, a key dynamic in understanding combat and the professionof arms. Soldiers join for many reasons but often stay in the fight because of their comrades and because they do not want to seem like cowards. Sometimes issues of national impact shrinkto nothing in the intensely personal world of cannon shell and minié ball.
Book Synopsis The Civil War on Film by : Peg A. Lamphier
Download or read book The Civil War on Film written by Peg A. Lamphier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War on Film will inform high school and college readers interested in Civil War film history on issues that arise when film viewers confuse entertainment with historical accuracy. The nation's years of civil war were painful, destructive, and unpleasant. Yet war films tend to embrace mythologies that erase that historical reality, romanticizing the Civil War. The editors of this volume have little patience for any argument that implies race-based slavery isn't an entirely repugnant economic, political, and cultural institution and that the people who fought to preserve slavery were fighting for a glorious and admirable cause. To that end, The Civil War on Film will open with a timeline and introduction and then explore ten films across decades of cinema history in ten chapters, from Birth of a Nation, which debuted in 1915, to The Free State of Jones, which debuted one hundred and one years later. It will also analyze and critique the myriad of mythologies and ideologies which appear in American Civil War films, including Lost Cause ideation, Black Confederate fictions, Northern Aggression mythologies, and White Savior tropes. It will also suggest the way particular films mirror the time in which they were written and filmed. Further resources will close the volume.
