"I" was detailed to guard the execution. It was not a pleasant duty, but it was not ours to object. We had to do as we were ordered. The place of execution was in a field just south of town. The prisoner was placed upon his coffin with his hands tied behind him, facing the firing party, who were from his own company of cavalry. Our company was divided into two platoons, and drawn up on each side of the coffin. At the command to fire from the Provost Marshal, Captain Botts of Charlestown, twelve guns loaded some with ball and some with blank cartridges, flashed and the prisoner was dead. An awful sight, but men became hardened to things of that kind. Early in March rumors of advance of the enemy were heard. Members of the company who were at home were hurriedly recalled, and everyone was in expectation of a fight. On the 11th of March, the army moved back towards Strasburg. After crossing Cedar Creek, the four companies before mentioned, "D," "H" and "I" of the 2nd Regiment, and one from the 4th, were again placed with the cavalry. When the enemy advanced we, with the artillery under Captain Chew, fought them from every hill from Cedar Creek to Mt. Jackson. At Fisher's Hill, just beyond Strasburg, the river makes a sharp bend above which are high bluffs. Our company was stationed here with Chew's two guns. When the enemy advanced through the town on the river road they came in full view of Chew, and he firing with great precision struck the centre of a regiment and killed and wounded a large number. It did not take many minutes for them to vacate the road. They then proceeded to form their lines, place their batteries and send out a swarm of skirmishers. It looked like we...

Download or read book Clarke County written by Maral S. Kalbian and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it is one of the smallest counties in Virginia, Clarke County has a remarkably rich history reflected in its cultural and natural resources. Located in the northern Shenandoah Valley and 60 miles northwest of Washington, DC, Clarke was formed from Frederick County, Virginia, in 1836. Native Americans roamed the area for centuries, and their story is reflected in the name of the Shenandoah River, which refers to "daughter of the stars." The Blue Ridge Mountains provide a dramatic eastern backdrop with recreational opportunities along the Appalachian Trail. Significant past citizens include Thomas Lord Fairfax, Gen. Daniel Morgan, and politicians Harry F. Byrd Sr. and Jr. After the Civil War, many of Clarke's former slaves stayed and built their own free communities. Unlike surrounding counties, Clarke has maintained the rural and agricultural traditions begun in colonial times. These and other distinctive stories that make up Clarke County's unique history are captured within this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Clarke County, the spirits of the past bring history to life. The ghost of a brokenhearted Confederate soldier stares out a window waiting in vain for the return of the love of his life. Victims of a plane crash still linger at the scene of the tragedy forty-five years later. Union troops are still crossing the Shenandoah River through a hail of musket balls and cannon fire. From the legendary phantom coach of Carter Hall to lesser-known haunts along the county's back roads, a rock-throwing poltergeist, a smoky figure in a bedroom and strange creatures lurking in the woods, Michael Hess brings you the very best in Clarke County ghost lore.

Book Synopsis From Arlington to Appomattox by : Charles R. Knight
Download or read book From Arlington to Appomattox written by Charles R. Knight and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brilliant . . . really gives one a sense of what it took to both lead and run an army in the Civil War. . . . Superb.” —Chris Kolakowski, author of The Virginia Campaigns: March–August 1862 In From Arlington to Appomattox, Charles Knight does for Robert E. Lee and students of the Civil War what E. B. Long’s Civil War Day by Day did for our understanding of the conflict as a whole. This is not another Lee biography, but it is every bit as valuable as one. We know Lee rode out to meet the survivors of Pickett’s Charge and accept blame for the defeat, that he tried to lead the Texas Brigade in a counterattack to save the day at the Wilderness, and took a tearful ride from Wilmer McLean’s house at Appomattox. But where was Lee and what was he doing when the spotlight of history failed to illuminate him? Focusing on what he was doing day by day offers an entirely different appreciation for Lee. Readers will come away with a fresh sense of his struggles, both personal and professional, and discover many things about Lee for the first time through his own correspondence and papers. From Arlington to Appomattox is a tremendous contribution to the literature of the Civil War. “Knight’s study will become the standard reference work on Lee’s daily wartime experiences.” —R. E. L. Krick, author of Staff Officers in Gray “A staggering work of scholarship.” —Jeffry D. Wert, author of A Glorious Army: Robert E. Lee’s Triumph, 1862–1863 "A pleasure to read.” —Michael C. Hardy, author of General Lee’s Immortals “Keeps the reader engaged.” —Journal of America's Military Past

Book Synopsis America's Good Terrorist by : Charles P. Poland
Download or read book America's Good Terrorist written by Charles P. Poland and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of John Brown, examining his failed raid on Harpers Ferry, and the part his actions played in causing the Civil War. John Brown’s failed efforts at Harpers Ferry have left an imprint upon our history, and his story still swirls in controversy. Was he a madman who felt his violent solution to slavery was ordained by Providence or a heroic freedom fighter who tried to liberate the downtrodden slave? These polar opposite characterizations of the violent abolitionist have captivated Americans. The prevailing view from the time of the raid to well into the twentieth century—that his actions were the product of an unbalanced mind—has shifted to the idea that he committed courageous acts to undo a terrible injustice. Despite the differences between modern terrorist acts and Brown’s own violent acts, when Brown’s characteristics are compared to the definition of terrorism as set forth by scholars of terrorism, he fits the profile. Nevertheless, today Brown is a martyred hero who gave his life attempting to terminate the evil institution of human bondage. The modern view of Brown has unintentionally made him a “good terrorist,” despite the repugnance of terrorism that makes the thought of a benevolent or good terrorist an oxymoron. This biography covers Brown’s background and the context to his decision to carry out the raid, a detailed narrative of the raid and its consequences for both those involved and America; and an exploration of the changing characterization of Brown since his death. “Serves as both a description of the events surrounding the raid in mid-October 1869 and as a character study of the abolitionist leader John Brown.” —Argunners
