Book Synopsis Freedom by the Sword by : William A. Dobak
Download or read book Freedom by the Sword written by William A. Dobak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.
Book Synopsis Historical Sketch and Roster of the Kentucky Light Artillery Independent Battery B by : John C. Rigdon
Download or read book Historical Sketch and Roster of the Kentucky Light Artillery Independent Battery B written by John C. Rigdon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The men of Battery or Hewitt's Battery were recruited by Capt. Hewitt for infantry service, but as an artillery company was needed, it was drilled for that service, and was mustered as such by Gen. Thomas October 8, 1861. At that early period of the war it was under Gen. Thomas, and was used in the parts of the state about Somerset, Columbia and toward Cumberland river. Technically this unit was the Kentucky 3rd Artillery Regiment, Company B, but it was generally known as an independent Battery. The career of this battery was most useful and honorable, beginning with Gen. Thomas, when he was contending with Zollicoffer's forces in Eastern Kentucky, it faithfully obeyed every order and bravely discharged every duty it was called upon to perform for full three years of active field service. While the Battery was at Murfeesboro, the place was attacked by Forrest, and a part of the Federal forces, was captured. At this time Battery B lost two guns. The battery fired four hundred and ninety three rounds.

Book Synopsis The Opportunity Is at Hand by : Donald M. Wisnoski
Download or read book The Opportunity Is at Hand written by Donald M. Wisnoski and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Opportunity is at Hand is a new form of study concerning United States Colored Troops. There have been other studies on famous units such at the 54th and 55th Massachusetts and the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and on the contributions of Black soldiers as a whole. Yet, a concentrated study of colored soldiers from one geographical area, of men who served in various units, has not been delved into until now. Mr. Wisnoski has researched over 60 colored service men and women from Oneida County, New York, who served in twenty different units and organizations. Many were in the ranks of the 26th and 31st USCT, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and other units, as well as several veterans of the US Navy. These men fought in the battles of Fort Wagner, Olustee, Johns Island, James Island, Honey Hill, Petersburg, Chaffins? Farm, and Appomattox. The book reveals the eagerness of colored citizens to take part in the great struggle. The earliest man to enlist was John E. Lippins who joined the Navy on November 4, 1861. Several men served with the 16th New York Heavy Artillery as cooks until transferring to the United States Colored Regiments. A colored washerwoman went into the field with the 2nd New York Heavy Artillery. There were three brothers who served, as well as a father and son in the 31st USCT. There was William ?Uncle Bill? Smith of the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery (later the 11th US Colored Heavy Artillery) who lived to be 113 years old. There was William Henry who weighed 397 pounds, and was turned down by the army because of his bulk. Unwilling to be denied his right to serve, Henry joined the navy and was stationed aboard the Hornet. There was Arlington Denike, who served on the U. S. S. Vermont and the Preston, and attained the rank of 1st class petty officer. Then there were less stellar men like John Green, of the 1st and 40th USCT. Though wounded in battle in 1863, Green was later characterized as ?utterly worthless as a soldier and a confirmed malingerer.? Though most black men from Oneida County were born free, there were those such as Eli Baylis, an escaped slave, who served in the 1st Mississippi Cavalry (later known as the 3rd US Colored Cavalry), and Robert ?Uncle Bob? Wilson who was liberated from servitude from a plantation near Culpeper, VA, and who attached himself as a ?contraband? to Major Rufus Daggett of the 117th NY Infantry. Milton Frank was drafted in the summer of 1863, served bravely, and was twice wounded?the first time at the Battle of Olustee, then at Chaffin?s Farm, a wound that proved mortal. One highlight of the book is a half-dozen letters written by William Labiel of the 14th RI Heavy Artillery. Sadly, Labiel did not survive the war.The book includes three appendices. One lists the known burial sites for the African-American soldiers from Oneida County, another lists the 24 white USCT officers who came from the county, and the last is General Daniel Butterfield?s analysis of the use of black soldiers entitled ?Memoranda With Regard to Colored Troops.? The book contains 30 photos and sketches. Index. 136 pages.
