Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few things in life generate more anguish, anger and frustration than being unjustly accused of wrongdoing. But thats what happened to Major George C. Trimble of the 11th West Virginia Infantry. Previously a captain in the 1st West Virginia Infantry, Trimble had the potential to be a great leader in the Civil War. Instead, he was "dismissed the service," along with his superior, Colonel John Castelli Rathbone, for cowardly conduct. This is a biography of Major Trimble, a Wheeling, West Virginia officer, entirely dedicated to the Union cause. It is also about a collection of Trimbles personal items, and about his family, friends and associates, particularly millionaire oilman, Colonel John Castelli Rathbone, of Wirt and Wood Counties, West Virginia. Major Trimbles life, in general, was profoundly sad. The dishonorable discharge surely resulted in the death of his expectations - yet, somehow, he managed to continue his life and work in Wheeling, as he persevered to clear his name.

Book Synopsis Soldier of Southwestern Virginia by : James I. Robertson
Download or read book Soldier of Southwestern Virginia written by James I. Robertson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far more than a documentation of the horrors and banality of the Civil War, John Preston Sheffey's literate and witty writings demonstrate his ardor for battle, his love of Virginia, and his passion in waging a most arduous and suspenseful campaign: to win Josephine Spiller as his wife. Superbly edited by James I. Robertson, Jr., Sheffey's letters are the first published correspondence by a member of the 8th Virginia Cavalry. A native of Marion, Virginia, Sheffey provides an invaluable picture of socio-military affairs in the overlooked western and southwestern regions of the state. His combination of intimate minute-to-minute, day-to-day recording and larger insight into the dynamics of men, terrain, supplies, and protocol make this collection unique. Sheffey's more than ninety letters are a singular source of interest for revealing the paradoxes and tragedies of isolated but vital Civil War skirmishes in southwest Virginia.

Col. Scott was then ordered to begin his advance up the hill toward the enemy's works, which he did through briers, tree tops and obstacles of various kinds... When our line was within ten or fifteen yards of the crest of the mountain, the enemy opened upon us, and a sheet of flame issued from the mountain top, as the Confederates poured a terrific fire of musketry into the faces of our brave boys. The whole line was then pushed forward with vigor, and never flinched or wavered, but advanced with the tread of veterans and returned the fire with telling effect. The fighting was fierce and terrible, a battle to the death, the musketry fire being very rapid. We had one advantage, that as we advanced up the steep mountain, the fire of the enemy passed over our heads, and thus saved our line from being mowed down. Steadily our men advanced, driving their foe from the breastworks of fence rails, logs and stones, that they had hastily thrown up... After about two hours of fighting the Second and Third Virginia, with yells and cheers, loud and strong, charged into the jaws of death and fire, and carried the position by storm, driving the enemy like chaff before the wind, who retreated precipitately toward Lewisburg.

This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Twelfth West Virginia Volunteer Infantry: The Part It Took in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 Comrades: You conferred upon me at our reunion, held at New Cumberland, in 1889, the honor of selecting me to compile a history of the Twelfth. The matter was taken into consideration afterward by me, and owing in part to the magnitude, burden and difficulty of the proposed task, my inexperience in this kind of undertaking, and because I believed that there were other survivors of the regiment much better qualified to write the history, it was concluded to forego the undertaking. But at our next reunion, because Col. Curtis was disappointed that nothing had been done in the matter of the history, and was anxious that it be written, and for the reason that the comrades present again expressed a desire that I should undertake the work, I promised to attempt it and do the best I could. Laboring under the unavoidable difficulties that it has been thirty years since the old Twelfth was making its history in the field, the almost total lack of official records pertaining exclusively to the regiment, and the uncertainty of memory at this late day, I have tried with reasonable fidelity to fulfill my promise. In reason more should not be expected. If you, the survivors of the Twelfth, be pleased with the history, this fact will be a sufficient reward for my labors; but, on the other hand, if it shall not come up to your expectations, you should be charitable to its faults and short comings, remembering that however great its imperfections you, yourselves, are largely responsible, for the task was not one of my own seeking, but was rather thrust upon me.
