Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Army in the Great Rebellion: Heroes and Battles of the War 1861-65 Among the most thrilling pages of American History are those which describe the stirring incidents of the famous Generals and their Campaigns, in the Civil War of 1861-65, from the capture of Fort Donelson to Sherman's famous march through Georgia, ending finally in the capture of Richmond, the surrender of the Rebel armies, and the final overthrow of the most gigantic Rebellion recorded in History. Battles and sieges, adventures and incidents, in connection with the great heroes of the war, and much that is of interest in their memorable campaigns, are recorded in this volume, and the descriptions of these stirring events, by the vigorous and graphic pen of Hon. J. T. Headley, enchain the reader with their vividness, and make him, as it were, a spectator of the magnificent and imposing scenes so faithfully portrayed. The four years of civil war through which the United States passed created a history, the record of which is brilliant with the names of heroes and heroic deeds. A quarter of a century or more has elapsed, the smoke and din of battle have passed away and a new generation is now upon the scene, eager to know of the struggle from the pages of history, thus creating a demand for a work which will give an authentic account of the daring deeds and gallant achievements of the brave and faithful men who so nobly defended and preserved our country. The Publisher esteems himself fortunate in having secured the talents of the distinguished author of this work, who has achieved a world-wide reputation as the most popular and graphic writer of military history of modern times, to prepare a book worthy of the theme and the occasion. Mr. Headley's reputation and his facilities for obtaining facts and information, his personal acquaintance with many of the officers and soldiers, his access to official documents, and the additional fact that the Generals now living have contributed to and revised their respective biographies, place the authenticity of this work beyond a doubt, and we offer it to the public as a standard and reliable addition to American literature. The great and peculiar value of this work consists in the fact that, in so small a compass, the author has given a comparatively full biography of the illustrious men whose deeds he celebrates, and, at the same time, correct pictures of the grand historical events in which they performed such important parts. The Book is embellished with portraits engraved on steel in the highest style of the art, by H. B. Hall, from photographs taken from life by Brady, Barnard, (army photographer,) and others; and by spirited battle-scenes, engraved by Roberts, from original designs drawn expressly for this work.

Download or read book The Soldier Boy, Or Tom Somers in the Army written by Oliver Optic and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soldier Boy, or Tom Somers in the Army: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume is not altogether a military romance, though it contains the adventures of one of those noble-hearted and patriotic young men who went forth from homes of plenty and happiness to fight the battles of our imperilled country. The incidents of the story may be stirring and exciting; yet they are not only within the bounds of probability, but have been more than paralleled in the experience of hundreds of the gallant soldiers of the loyal army. The work is not intended to approach the dignity of a history, though the writer has carefully consulted the "authorities," both loyal and rebel, and has taken down the living words of enthusiastic participants in the stirring scenes described in this volume. He has not attempted to give a full picture of any battle, or other army operation, but simply of those movements in which the hero took a part. The book is a narrative of personal adventure, delineating the birth and growth of a pure patriotism in the soul of the hero, and describing the perils and privations, the battles and marches which he shared with thousands of brave men in the army of the Potomac.

Book excerpt: The exciting news was discussed among the members of the Somers family, as it was in thousands of other families, on that eventful Sunday. Thomas and John could think of nothing, speak of nothing, but Fort Sumter, and the terrible castigation which the rebels would receive from the insulted and outraged North. They were loyal even to enthusiasm; and when they retired to their chamber at night, they ventured to express to each other their desire to join the great army which was to avenge the insult offered to the flag of the Union.They were twin brothers, sixteen years of age; but they both thought they were old enough and strong enough to be soldiers. Their mother, however, had promptly disapproved of such suggestions, and they had not deemed it prudent to discuss the idea in her presence.On Monday, the excitement instead of subsiding, was fanned to a fever heat; Pinchbrook Harbor was in a glow of patriotism. Men neglected their usual occupations, and talked of the affairs of the nation. Every person who could procure a flag hung it out at his window, or hoisted it in his yard, or on his house. The governor had called out a portion of the state militia, and already the tramp of armed men was heard in the neighboring city of Boston.Thomas Somers was employed in a store in the village, and during the forenoon he mechanically performed the duties of his position; but he could think of nothing but the exciting topic of the day. His blood was boiling with indignation against those who had trailed our hallowed flag in the dust. He wanted to do something to redeem the honor of his country-something to wipe out the traitors who had dared to conspire against her peace. On his way home to dinner, he met Fred Pemberton, who lived only a short distance from his own house.

Book Synopsis Rebellion in the Ranks by : John A. Nagy
Download or read book Rebellion in the Ranks written by John A. Nagy and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How General Washington Avoided the Peril From Within His Own Forces "It gives me great pain to be obliged to solicit the attention of the honorable Congress to the state of the army...the greater part of the army is in a state not far from mutiny...I know not to whom to impute this failure, but I am of the opinion, if the evil is not immediately remedied and more punctuality observed in future, the army must absolutely break up."--George Washington, September 1775 Mutiny has always been a threat to the integrity of armies, particularly under trying circumstances, and since Concord and Lexington, mutiny had been the Continental Army's constant traveling companion. It was not because the soldiers lacked resolve to overturn British rule or had a lack of faith in their commanders. It was the scarcity of food--during winter months it was not uncommon for soldiers to subsist on a soup of melted snow, a few peas, and a scrap of fat--money, clothing, and proper shelter, that forced soldiers to desert or organize resistance. Mutiny was not a new concept for George Washington. During his service in the French and Indian War he had tried men under his command for the offense and he knew that disaffection and lack of morale in an army was a greater danger than an armed enemy. In Rebellion in the Ranks: Mutinies of the American Revolution, John A. Nagy provides one of the most original and valuable contributions to American Revolutionary War history in recent times. Mining previously ignored British and American primary source documents and reexamining other period writings, Nagy has corrected misconceptions about known events, such as the Pennsylvania Line Mutiny, while identifying for the first time previously unknown mutinies. Covering both the army and the navy, Nagy relates American officers' constant struggle to keep up the morale of their troops, while highlighting British efforts to exploit this potentially fatal flaw.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soldier Boy; or, Tom Somers in the Army A Story of the Great Rebellion by Oliver Optic Chapter I. The Battle of Pinchbrook. "Fort Sumter has surrendered, mother!" shouted Thomas Somers, as he rushed into the room where his mother was quietly reading her Bible. It was Sunday, and the exciting news had been circulated about the usually quiet village of Pinchbrook Harbor. Men's lips were compressed, and their teeth shut tight together. They were indignant, for traitors had fired upon the flag of the United States. Men, women, and children were roused by the indignity offered to the national emblem. The cannon balls that struck the walls of Sumter seemed at the same time to strike the souls of the whole population of the North, and never was there such a great awakening since the Pilgrim Fathers first planted their feet upon the rock of Plymouth. "Fort Sumter has surrendered!" shouted the indignant young patriot again, as his mother looked up from the blessed volume. "You don't say so!" exclaimed Mrs. Somers, as she closed the Bible, and removed her spectacles. "Yes, mother. The infernal rebels hammered away at the fort for two days, and at last we had to give in." "There'll be terrible times afore long," replied the old lady, shaking her head with prophetic earnestness. "The President has called for seventy-five thousand volunteers, and I tell you there'll be music before long!" continued the youth, so excited that he paced the room with rapid strides We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the quarter century that followed American entry into World War II, the nation's armed forces moved from the reluctant inclusion of a few segregated Negroes to their routine acceptance in a racially integrated military establishment. Nor was this change confined to military installations. By the time it was over, the armed forces had redefined their traditional obligation for the welfare of their members to include a promise of equal treatment for black servicemen wherever they might be. In the name of equality of treatment and opportunity, the Department of Defense began to challenge racial injustices deeply rooted in American society. For all its sweeping implications, equality in the armed forces obviously had its pragmatic aspects. In one sense it was a practical answer to pressing political problems that had plagued several national administrations. In another, it was the services' expression of those liberalizing tendencies that were permeating American society during the era of civil rights activism. But to a considerable extent the policy of racial equality that evolved in this quarter century was also a response to the need for military efficiency. So easy did it become to demonstrate the connection between inefficiency and discrimination that, even when other reasons existed, military efficiency was the one most often evoked by defense officials to justify a change in racial policy."_x000D_ Morris J. MacGregor, Jr., received the A.B. and M.A. degrees in history from the Catholic University of America. He continued his graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Paris on a Fulbright grant. Before joining the staff of the U.S. Army Center of Military History in 1968 he served for ten years in the Historical Division of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
