Book excerpt: Sam Davis (October 6, 1842 – November 27, 1863) was a Confederate soldier executed by Union forces in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the American Civil War. He is popularly known as the Boy Hero of the Confederacy, although he was 21 when he died. He became a celebrated instance of Confederate memorialization in the late 1890s and early 1900s, eulogized by Middle Tennesseeans for his valor and sacrifice. He was recruited by Confederate scout forces early in the Civil War. He signed up as a private in the 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment in 1861 and his regiment first fought in the Cheat Mountain; then in the Shenandoah Valley; then in the Shiloh; and finally the Perryville. Davis was hanged by Union forces in Pulaski, Tennessee, on November 27, 1863 on charges of espionage.-- Wikipedia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Davis, Boy Hero of the Confederacy by Gary C. Walker This is true history but it is presented like you have never seen before! The people of Middle and West Tennessee were conquered and oppressed. President Lincoln claimed that no states had left the Union and these were still United States citizens.However, the Yankee invaders treated the population like Prisoners of War with only the rights their captives chose to grant them! The facts are here and so are the intense emotions. The atrocities committed against the Southern people and the deep hatred from both sides is presented in graphic detail! The readers will cringe when they are witness to the savage beatings and torture of Southern patriots!A youthful Sam joined the 1st Tennessee Infantry and bravely fought many battles in several Confederate States. The Confederate army, aided by the loyal population, tried time and again to push the hated invaders out of Middle Tennessee, but by 1863 both sides knew that the Yankees were staying.Sam lived in Middle Tennessee and through family connections he was recruited into the Confederate spy service. When his army left; Sam stayed. The reader will be swept into the world of deception and deceit that is the world of the spy. Using the most brutal and inhumane tactics Yankee counter spies decimated Sam's spy cell. Sam was arrested by Damn Yankee spies wearing Confederate uniforms.Thus began a tug of war between a despotic and ruthless Yankee General and a determined, Christian, Confederate Soldier, Private, Sam Davis. The general demanded that Sam give him names. For those names, the General would spare Sam's life! The brave Sam never flinched, nor gave an inch as he faced the stern General down. With the rope dangling before his eyes, Sam chose death over dishonor!It's a story worth telling and a story worth reading. The sublime courage and honor of a lowly Private should never be forgotten! When the readers finish this book, they will never be able to forget, Sam Davis, Boy Hero of the Confederacy!It is 450 pages that paint the Yankee Army as it truly was; this is not the white-washed, unemotional history, you are usually subjected to! It is richly illustrated with 47 photos, 4 maps and 2 drawings! {Gift copies are suggested!}

Download or read book Chickasaw, a Mississippi Scout for the Union written by Thomas D. Cockrell and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-to-do planter and slave owner in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, Levi Holloway Naron was an unlikely supporter of the Union. And yet, at the outbreak of war in 1861, his agitation against the Confederacy so outraged his fellow Mississippians that they drove him from his home. Bent on retaliation, Naron headed North, contacted the Union army, and was ushered into the presence of General William T. Sherman, who quickly saw the possibilities for employing such a man. Thus began Levi Naron's career as "Chickasaw," Federal scout, spy, and raider. Dictated in 1865, when his memory of events was still fresh -- as was his passion -- Naron's memoir offers a rare and remarkably vivid firsthand account of a southerner loyal to the Union, operating behind Confederate lines. Active primarily in northern Mississippi and western Tennessee, Naron proved invaluable to Federal commanders in the West, not only Sherman but William Rosecrans, John Pope, Grenville Dodge, Benjamin Grierson, and others -- leaders whose official testimony to that effect is included in an appendix here. Naron stood before Rebel commanders as well -- Sterling Price, James Chalmers, and John C. Breckinridge -- having bedeviled their security forces and intelligence agents. In these pages, he tells how he maneuvered under their noses, burning bridges and railcars full of supplies intended for Nathan Bedford Forrest and John Bell Hood, recruiting for the Union while clad in a Confederate uniform, chasing down Union deserters and Rebel spies, and, for diversion, suppressing guerrillas and bushwhackers. This long-forgotten historical document, newly edited and annotated, provides indispensable information about Confederate as well as Union espionage and counter-espionage activity. Naron's adventures illuminate this clandestine war in the West while allowing readers to experience with startling immediacy the agony, frustrations, and convictions of a pro-Union southerner trapped inside the Confederate States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fort Donelson's Legacy portrays the tapestry of war and society in the upper southern heartland of Tennessee and Kentucky after the key Union victories at Forts Henry and Donelson in February 1862. Those victories, notes Benjamin Franklin Cooling, could have delivered the decisive blow to the Confederacy in the West and ended the war in that theater. Instead, what followed was terrible devastation and bloodshed that embroiled soldier and civilian alike. Cooling compellingly describes a struggle that was marked not only by the movement of armies and the strategies of generals but also by the rise of guerrilla bands and civil resistance. It was, in part, a war fought for geography - for rivers and railroads and for strategic cities such as Nashville, Louisville, and Chattanooga. But it was also a war for the hearts and minds of the populace ... In exploring the complex terrain of 'total war' that steadily engulfed Tennessee and Kentucky, Cooling draws on a huge array of sources, including official military records and countless diaries and memoirs. He makes considerable use of the words of participants to capture the attitudes and concerns of those on both sides."--Dust jacket.
