Download or read book Jubal Early's Last Year of the American Civil War (Expanded, Annotated) written by Lieutenant-General Jubal A. Early and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In exile in Canada immediately after the Civil War's conclusion, Jubal Early wrote his personal account of the final year of the war. Typically opinionated, sometimes funny, caustically critical of his opponents, Early nevertheless left an important contribution to the literature of the Civil War, if for no other reason than his proximity to events. Involved in the major battles of the Shenandoah Valley, the Wilderness, Gettysburg, and more, Jubal Early was one of Lee's key generals. Loved by his men but little-liked by his officers, he was prickly, defensive, and quick tempered. To the end of his life, Jubal Early was an unreconstructed Confederate and promoter of the Lost Cause movement in the South. The key contribution of this book is Early's military details of battles and the contrast he provides to Grant's accounts. Though Early often relies on minutiae to contradict an account by an enemy (or even another rebel he disagrees with), this book is a book that anyone with interest in the Civil War should read. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Book Synopsis Jubal Early's Raid on Washington 1864 by : Benjamin Franklin Cooling (III)
Download or read book Jubal Early's Raid on Washington 1864 written by Benjamin Franklin Cooling (III) and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of the nation hung in the balance for two hot July days in 1864. After two weeks of hard marching, Gen. Jubal A. Early had positioned his troops outside of Washington. General Robert E. Lee was relying on Early to relieve the pressure Ulysses S. Grant was putting on Petersburg. "Old Jeb" possess the right mix a brash independence and fierce loyalty to the southern cause to stage a convincing attack on the enemy capital - Mr. Lincoln's City. Jubal Early's famous "raid" was to be the last Confederate invasion, yet it's severely shook the Union leadership. President Lincoln drove out to see how things were going each day of the attack. Traditionally seen as a prelude to the Valley Campaign of 1864, the author asserts that the July battles for Washington and Maryland were possibly even more pivotal. For the Civil War historian and buff alike, this book provides a fresh interpretation of this fascinating episode in American history. -- Publisher.

Book Synopsis The Last Battle of Winchester by : Scott C. Patchan
Download or read book The Last Battle of Winchester written by Scott C. Patchan and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, The Last Battle of Winchester is the first serious study to chronicle the largest, longest, and bloodiest battle fought in the Shenandoah Valley. The fighting began about daylight and did not end until dusk, when the victorious Union army routed the Confederates off the field. It was the first time Stonewall Jackson's former corps had ever been driven from a battlefield, and the stinging defeat set the stage for the final climax of the 1864 Valley Campaign at Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek. The Northern victory was a long time coming. After a spring and summer of Union defeat in the Valley, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant cobbled together a formidable force under redoubtable cavalryman Phil Sheridan. His task was a tall one: sweep Jubal Early's Confederate army out of the bountiful Shenandoah and reduce the verdant region of its supplies. Thus far, the aggressive Early had led Jackson's veterans to one victory after another at Lynchburg, Monocacy, Snickers Gap, and Kernstown. Author Scott Patchan, recognized as the foremost authority on the 1864 Valley Campaign, dissects the five weeks of complex maneuvering and sporadic combat before the opposing armies ended up at Winchester, an important town in the northern end of the Valley that had changed hands dozens of times during the war. Tactical brilliance and ineptitude were on display throughout the day-long affair as Sheridan threw infantry and cavalry against the thinning Confederate ranks, and Early and his generals shifted to meet each assault. A final blow against Early's left flank collapsed the Southern army, killed one of the Confederacy's finest combat generals in Robert Rodes, and planted the seeds of the sweeping largescale victory at Cedar Creek the following month. Patchan's vivid prose is based upon more than two decades of meticulous firsthand research and an unparalleled understanding of the battlefield. Nearly two dozen original maps, scores of photos, hundreds of explanatory footnotes, and seven invaluable appendices enhance our understanding of this watershed battle. Rich in analysis and dramatic character development, The Last Battle of Winchester is certain to become a classic Civil War battle study.

This book was released on 1912 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EDITOR'S NOTE IT becomes my duty and privilege to undertake the publication of General Early's narrative of the war left in manuscript form at the time of his death, March 2, 1894. Its preparation covered the term of years beginning immediately after the close of the war and continuing to the end of his life. Impressed with the belief that "truth crushed to earth will rise again," he labored conscientiously at his task, the motive of his writing being the wish that a detailed history, accurate as far as lay within his compassing, might be handed down to posterity. He was well equipped for the work undertaken and his efforts met with the encouragement of his former comrades. In submitting to the public the result of his long labor, I feel confident of its being accorded the just consideration for which he strove. R. H. EARLY: LYNCHBURG, VA. June, 1912

Download or read book Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early, Confederate States of America written by Jubal Early and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jubal Early is one of the most interesting generals of the Civil War. While he played important roles at battles like Gettysburg and Monocacy, as well as being the man who led a Confederate army at Fort Stevens, where President Lincoln came under fire, his biggest contributions came after the war. Early's writings helped shape how the Civil War and Confederacy were remembered in the decades after the war, particularly as a Virginian working and contributing toward the Southern Historical Society. He helped shape the Lost Cause, as well as the deification of Robert E. Lee, all while defending the South and justifying the war. Naturally, Early also wrote a memoirs of his time in the Army of Northern Virginia and as a Confederate general throughout the war as well. The memoirs are important not just for Civil War historians but also anyone interested in the Lost Cause as a literary and historiographical movement.
Book Synopsis A MEMOIR OF THE LAST YEAR OF THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATION OF HIS COMMANDS IN THE YEARS 1864 AND 1865, BY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL JUBAL A. EARLY. by : Jubal Anderson Early
Download or read book A MEMOIR OF THE LAST YEAR OF THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATION OF HIS COMMANDS IN THE YEARS 1864 AND 1865, BY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL JUBAL A. EARLY. written by Jubal Anderson Early and published by Scholarly Pub Office Univ of. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jubal Anderson Early (1816-1894) ranked among the most important generals who fought with Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. A brigade and corps commander, he played principal roles at the battles of First Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and most of the other engagements in the Eastern Theater during the first three years of the Civil War. In 1864 Early commanded an army in the Shenandoah Valley, winning several victories and menacing Washington before suffering ignominious defeat in a series of battles against Phillip H. Sheridan's Union forces. Originally released in 1866, Early's is the first personal account published by a major Civil War figure on either side. A creator of the Lost Cause myth that exalted Lee and his Virginia army above those of other states, Early anticipated arguments that later Lost Cause writers would make regarding Lee's and Grant's generalships, the reasons for the Confederate defeat, and the conduct of Union forces in Southern states. Early's memoir helped shape the ways in which white southerners wrote about and understood the Confederacy. In a new introduction to this edition, Gary W. Gallagher explicates Early's military career and examines the general's postwar career as a Confederate apologist.
Book Synopsis Jubal Early by : Benjamin Franklin Cooling
Download or read book Jubal Early written by Benjamin Franklin Cooling and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jubal Early: Robert E. Lee’s Bad Old Man, a new critical biography of Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal Anderson Early, Civil War historian B.F. Cooling III takes a fresh look at one of the most fascinating, idiosyncratic characters in the pantheon of Confederate heroes and villains. Dubbed by Robert E. Lee as his "bad old man" because of his demeanor, Early was also Lee's chosen instrument to attack and capture Washington as well as defend the Shenandoah Valley granary in the summer and fall of 1864. Neither cornered nor snared by Union opponents, Early came closest of any Confederate general to capturing Washington, ending Lincoln's presidency, and forever changing the fate of the Civil War and American history. His failure to grapple with this moment of historical immortality and emerge victorious bespeaks as much his own foibles as the counter-efforts of the enemy, the effects of weather and the shortcomings of his army. From the pinnacle of success, Jubal Early descended to the trough of defeat within three months when opponent General Philip Sheridan resoundingly defeated him in the Valley campaign of 1864. Jubal Early famously exhibited a harder, less gallant personal as a leading Confederate practitioner of "hard" or destructive war, a tactic usually ascribed to Union generals Hunter, Sheridan, and Sherman. An extortionist of Yankee capital in northern towns in Pennsylvania and Maryland—typically in the form of tribute—Early also became forever associated with the wanton destruction of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, as well as Congressman Thaddeus Stevens private commerical ironworks, and the private dwellings of Maryland governor Augustus Bradford and then Postmaster General Montgomery Blair. How war hardened a crabbed, arthritically hobbled but brilliantly pragmatic soldier and lawyer offers one of the most fascinating puzzles of personality in Civil War history. One of the most alluring yet repellent figures of Southern Confederate history, Jubal Early would devolve from the ideal prewar constitutional unionist to the postwar personification of the unreconstructed rebel and progenitor of the “lost cause” explanation for the demise of the Confederacy's experiment in rebellion or independence. This critical study explains how one of Virginia's loyal sons came through war and peace to garner a unique position in the Confederacy's pantheon of heroes—and the Union’s cabal of military villains. Jubal Early: Robert E. Lee’s Bad Old Man will appeal to anyone interested in Civil War history and Confederate history.

This book was released on 2008-01-28 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cooling has produced what is sure to become the definitive scholarly account of the campaign. Drawing on a vast array of sources, including seldom-used veterans' accounts, Cooling presents a comprehensive campaign study from origins to aftermath. Not only does Cooling masterfully describe the specific movements of the opposing forces, but he also never loses sight of the wider context in which the campaign was fought. In fact, Cooling's greatest contribution may be his clear demonstration that Grant was fooled by Early's operations and took an uncommonly long time to react to a very serious threat."--American Historical Review "Cooling's superb account of one of the most dramatic ventures of the Civil War, one the peaked with a Confederate army at the gate of the nation's capital even as powerful Union forces threatened a clamp on the capital of Rebeldom . . . reflects most intensive research and provides a strictly objective account of the doings of both sides in the course of Early's thrust at Washington, from his entry into Maryland until his withdrawal back into Virginia."--Journal of Military History
