Book Synopsis Confederate Military History, Vol. 15: Florida by : J. J. Dickison
Download or read book Confederate Military History, Vol. 15: Florida written by J. J. Dickison and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work spanning twelve extensive volumes is the result of contributions by many Southern men to the literature of the United States that treats of the eventful years in which occurred the momentous struggle called by Mr. A. H. Stephens "the war between the States." These contributions were made on a well-considered plan, to be wrought out by able writers of unquestionable Confederate record who were thoroughly united in general sentiment and whose generous labors upon separate topics would, when combined, constitute a library of Confederate military history and biography. According to the great principle in the government of the United States that one may result from and be composed of many — the doctrine of E pluribus unum--it was considered that intelligent men from all parts of the South would so write upon the subjects committed to them as to produce a harmonious work which would truly portray the times and issues of the Confederacy and by illustration in various forms describe the soldiery which fought its battles. Upon this plan two volumes — the first and the last-comprise such subjects as the justification of the Southern States in seceding from the Union and the honorable conduct of the war by the Confederate States government; the history of the actions and concessions of the South in the formation of the Union and its policy in securing the existing magnificent territorial dominion of the United States; the civil history of the Confederate States, supplemented with sketches of the President, Vice-President, cabinet officers and other officials of the government; Confederate naval history; the morale of the armies; the South since the war, and a connected outline of events from the beginning of the struggle to its close. The two volumes containing these general subjects are sustained by the other volumes of Confederate military history of the States of the South involved in the war. Each State being treated in separate history permits of details concerning its peculiar story, its own devotion, its heroes and its battlefields. The authors of the State histories, like those of the volumes of general topics, are men of unchallenged devotion to the Confederate cause and of recognized fitness to perform the task assigned them. It is just to say that this work has been done in hours taken from busy professional life, and it should be further commemorated that devotion to the South and its heroic memories has been their chief incentive. This is volume fifteen out of fifteen, covering the Civil War in Arkansas.
Book Synopsis More Generals in Gray by : Bruce S. Allardice
Download or read book More Generals in Gray written by Bruce S. Allardice and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterpiece of research, a splendid supplement to Ezra J. Warner's Generals in Gray, Bruce S. Allardice brings to light a neglected class of officers: the Confederacy's "other" generals -- men who attained their rank outside the usual avenue of appointment by President Jefferson Davis and who had been virtually forgotten as a consequence. Explaining that the process of becoming a general was fraught with politics, lobbying, intrigue, accident, mismanagement, and chance, Allardice identifies six main categories of legitimate claimants to the rank of Confederate General -- two more than historians have traditionally recognized. He presents a substantial biographical sketch of 137 generals not found in Warner's original and a short bibliography of each. For the vast majority, his is the first treatment ever published.

FIGHT AT "No. 4," NEAR CEDAR KEYS. ' Here are men who fought in gallant actions, As gallantly as ever heroes fought; But, buried in the heap of such transactions, Their names are seldom found, nor often sought." On the night Captain Dickison returned from his expedition, on the east side of the St. John's river, he received a dispatch from Captain E. J. Lutterloh, on the outpost, near Cedar Keys, reporting the enemy landing in large force at Cedar Keys, under cover of their gunboats, and marching out in the interior, on the road to Levyville. A few hours later, another dispatch from this gallant and ever vigilant officer stated that they were at Levyville, and a portion of their command was moving in the direction of Lake City. He immediately telegraphed to headquarters at Tallahassee. Soon orders came for him to move forward with all the force he had, get in the rear of the enemy and harass them until General Millar could reach them with his brigade, which would soon leave by train for Lake City, and thence march through the country with all the ordnance stores needed. Captain Dickison arranged his cavalry in detachments for an immediate move, consisting of fiftytwo men from his Company H, under Lieutenants McCardell and McEaddy, eighteen men from Com pany B, under Lieutenant McLeod, and twenty from Company H, Fifth Battalion of Cavalry, in command of Lieutenants Haile and Haynes, with one twelvepound howitzer, commanded by Lieutenant Bruton. A strong guard being needed to accompany the prisoners to headquarters, they were forwarded to Tallahassee by daylight the next morning, and then our command was ready to move forward. Having little rest, after their ten days' toilsome march over the river, they were almost broken down;...

Book Synopsis Recalling Deeds Immortal by : William B. Lees
Download or read book Recalling Deeds Immortal written by William B. Lees and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred and fifty years ago, Florida was shaken by battle, blockade, economic deprivation, and the death of native sons both within and far outside its borders. Today, tributes to the valor and sacrifice of Florida’s soldiers, sailors, and civilians can be found from the Panhandle to the Keys. Authors Lees and Gaske look at the diversity of Civil War monuments built in Florida between Reconstruction and the present day, elucidating their emblematic and social dimensions. Most monuments built in Florida honor the Confederacy, praising the valor of Southern soldiers and often extolling the righteousness of their “Lost Cause.” At the same time, a fascinating minority of Union monuments also exists in the state—and these bear notably muted messages. Recalling Deeds Immortal shows how the creation of these bronze and stone monuments created new social battlegrounds as, over the years, groups such as the Ladies’ Memorial Associations, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Grand Army of the Republic competed to control the messages behind the memorialization of fallen soldiers and veterans. Examining the evolution of Civil War monuments, the authors demonstrate that the construction of these memorials is itself an important part of Civil War and post-Civil War history.
Book Synopsis Florida Civil War Blockades by : Nick Wynne
Download or read book Florida Civil War Blockades written by Nick Wynne and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida was the third Southern state to secede from the United States in 1860-61. With its small population of 140,000 and no manufacturing, few Confederate resources were allocated to protect the state. Some 15,000 Floridians served in the Union and Confederate armies (the highest population percentage of any southern state), but perhaps Florida's greatest contributions came from its production of salt (an essential need for preserving meat and manufacturing gunpowder), its large herds of cattle (which fed two southern armies), and its 1500 mile shoreline (which allowed smugglers to bring critical supplies from Europe and the Carribean). Florida in the Civil War: Blockaders will focus on the men and ships that fought this prolonged battle at sea, along the long and largely vacant coasts of the Sunshine State and on Florida soil. The information will be drawn from official sources, newspaper articles and private accounts. Approximately fifty (50) period photographs and drawings will be incorporated into the text.

Download or read book Confederate Seadog written by John Bell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2002-11-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Taylor Wood, the grandson of President Zachary Taylor and a nephew of Jefferson Davis, was one of the most daring and remarkable participants of the Civil War and among the few people to hold dual rank in the Confederate military as a captain in the Confederate States Navy (CSN) and a colonel in the cavalry. Wood was widely known for his wartime activities, but at the time of his death in 1904, he had been largely forgotten. This work combines a thorough biography of John Taylor Wood and three of his memoirs that were published in Century magazine between 1885 and 1898. The biography gives special attention to Wood's childhood and youth, such as his harrowing experiences in Florida during the Seminole Wars, his service in the United States Navy during and after the Mexican War, his experiences in California during the Gold Rush and his leading role among the members of the little-known postwar Confederate naval colony in Halifax, Nova Scotia, organized to fight the Fenian forces for the British in 1866. His writings about the war and other literary activities, and his friendship with William Hall, the first African American to win the Victoria Cross are covered. The memoirs in this book cover his service on the CSS Virginia, the cruise of the CSS Tallahassee (of which he was the commander), and his gutsy escape from the South as the Confederacy collapsed.
