Download or read book Murfreesboro in the Civil War written by Michael R. Bradley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-25 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Civil War unfolded, Murfreesboro became hotly contested by Confederate and Union forces. Both sides occupied the town for significant periods, with power changing hands as the fighting raged. Punctuated by events like Nathan Bedford Forrests raid on Union forces in July 1862, Jefferson Daviss visit and the wedding of General John Hunt Morgan and Martha Ready, wartime Murfreesboro saw no shortage of drama. As combat escalated, the bloody Battle of Stones River and the Nashville Campaign brought more destruction. Yet at wars end, the resilient locals remained and rebuilt their town from the rubble. Authors and Civil War historians Michael Bradley and Shirley Farris Jones track the tumult of the proceedings to recount the compelling story of Murfreesboro during the Civil War.

Download or read book The Hardest Lot of Men written by Joseph C. Fitzharris and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outstanding in appearance, discipline, and precision at drill, the Third Minnesota Volunteer Infantry was often mistaken for a regular army unit. Rebel Colonel Ponder described the regiment as “the hardest lot of men he’d ever run against.” Betrayed by its higher commanders, the Third Minnesota was surrendered to Nathan Bedford Forrest on July 13, 1862, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Through letters, personal accounts of the men, and other sources, author Joseph C. Fitzharris recounts how the Minnesotans, prisoners of war, broken in spirit and morale, went home and found redemption and renewed purpose fighting the Dakota Indians. They were then sent south to fight guerrillas along the Tennessee River. In the process, the regiment was forged anew as a superbly drilled and disciplined unit that participated in the siege of Vicksburg and in the Arkansas Expedition that took Little Rock. At Pine Bluff, Arkansas, sickness so reduced its numbers that the Third was twice unable to muster enough men to bury its own dead, but the men never wavered in battle. In both Tennessee and Arkansas, the Minnesotans actively supported the U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) and provided many officers for USCT units. The Hardest Lot of Men follows the Third through occupation to war’s end, when the returning men, deeming the citizens of St. Paul insufficiently appreciative, spurned a celebration in their honor. In this first full account of the regiment, Fitzharris brings to light the true story long obscured by the official histories illustrating aspects of a nineteenth-century soldier’s life—enlisted and commissioned alike—from recruitment and training to the rigors of active duty. The Hardest Lot of Men gives us an authentic picture of the Third Minnesota, at once both singular and representative of its historical moment.

Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the evolution of Civil War memories in Rutherford County, Tennessee from the 1860s to the present. It explores how race, gender, and regional identities shaped individuals' perspectives on the war, commemorative events and organizations, and the development of historic sites such as Stones River National Battlefield. This study demonstrates how civilians and soldiers began to understand and commemorate this war before the conflict ended. It discusses the two main local commemorative groups, Union and Confederate, and how they evolved over time. This dissertation complicates the history of Civil War battlefields managed by the federal government by investigating the relationships between Stones River National Battlefield, African American landowners and park neighbors, and local white Confederate sympathizers. ...Investigating Confederate memory on a local level exposes the unequal struggle for leadership of this movement between white women and men. Although women largely created and sustained Confederate commemoration in the county, men usurped their projects and positions of authority during times like the 1890s and 1960s when political and social developments menaced white male supremacy. Gendered disputes between white men and women helped transform Confederate commemoration over time from a culture of mourning to a celebration of white soldiers' heroism and finally into a form of entertainment that glorified the Confederate past and white male supremacy."-Abstract, pages vii-viii.
