Book Synopsis Confederate Artillery Organizations by : F. Ray Sibley, Jr.
Download or read book Confederate Artillery Organizations written by F. Ray Sibley, Jr. and published by Savas Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confederate Artillery Organizations: An Alphabetical Listing of the Officers and Batteries of the Confederacy, 18611865 is a remarkable, immensely useful, and exceedingly rare book containing the names of the officers and every Confederate artillery unit. It is so rare that most scholars in the field dont even know of its existence. It was originally published as simply Confederate Artillery Organizations by the U.S. War Department in 1898, one of Marcus J.Wrights compilation aids to help assemble and organize the massive publication that would appear as the 128-volume The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (1880-1901), known to researchers and students alike as simply Official Records. Editor Ray Sibley spent more than a decade researching the thousands of entries, correcting mistakes, and adding many artillery units and additional officers unknown to the original compilers more than a century ago. Sibley utilized archival records, manuscripts, letters, diaries, and other sources to verify the original work, correct mistakes, and add further useful information in the form of hundreds of valuable footnotes. This new updated and easy-to-use reference work sets forth the linage of the Confederate artillery. It lists, in alphabetical order, individual batteries to artillery regiments, the names and alternate names for the batteries and the names of the men who led them. Also included are the dates of acceptance into Confederate service for each unit. Most companies have an annotation that includes an alternate name (if there was one), and the date if a unit disbanded or was merged into another organization.The annotations for officers include date of appointment, date of promotion to a higher grade (if any), date of transfers (if any), date dropped from rolls (if any), and date relieved of command (if any). Confederate Artillery Organizations also contains four rare and hard-to-find lists of Confederate artillery officers: Memorandum of Artillery Officers, C. S. A., List of Officers Corps of Artillery, C. S. Army, on U.S. Register of 1861, Superintendents of Armories, and Military Store-Keeper of Ordnance. These lists illustrate the ranking of each officer in his respective grade. The extensive bibliography prepared by Mr. Sibley is an invaluable guide to Civil War historiography. Scholars, researchers, and students of the Civil War will be thankful Ray Sibley turned his considerable talents to this project. His tireless efforts made sure this rare book got back into print (including all digital formats), and turned what was once a valuable rare work into a reference book that is now both widely available and absolutely indispensable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1865, Richmond had fallen, and the Confederacy was dying. Robert E. Lee had surrendered his army to Ulysses S. Grant in Virginia. Joseph Johnston was in North Carolina negotiating the surrender of his army to William T. Sherman. But in South Carolina, General Edward Potter was leading 2,500 Union soldiers, including the famed African American regiment the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, through the state's interior, intent on destroying the railroads and equipment. This is the story of Potter's Raid. Using rare and nearly forgotten accounts, historian Tom Elmore has compiled the story of this often-overlooked campaign that featured the last shots of the Civil War in the state that started it.

These additional soldiers do not appear in Broken Fortunes, the previous "bible" of South Carolina's war dead. And Were the Glory of Their Times -- Artillery is a comprehensive work including the names and stories of all the previously known soldiers as well as the new names. Herbert Chambers has researched extensively the South Carolina soldiers lost in the struggle for Southern independence.

Combined sources of military service records, census records and family histories provide detailed information on these men."--http://www.broadfootpublishing.com/home.html

Download or read book Oh Lordy! written by Michael G. Hitch and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The document above is from the Mowbray Collection at the Edward H. Nabb Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University in Maryland. It is from a large cache of documents discovered by Ms. Elinor Mowbray in her house in South Carolina and forms the foundation around which this book is assembled. A receipt dated April 8, 1861 that might seem but a rather unimportant item concerning a farmer that needed his gun repaired back in mid-19th century. But, there is something much more ominous if we dig deeper into the history of the receipt. In the four months leading up to April 8 in 1861, seven states had passed resolutions of secession from the Union and in the several months to follow, six more would follow suit. This was a time of turmoil in our nation's history and everyone was preparing for war and, Private Young H.E. Hitch was making sure that his gun was in the proper working order to be able to address the inevitability of what was to come. Private Hitch served for his cause and died in the process. This "unimportant" old receipt holds MUCH significance in the life of the Hitch family and, indeed, even the life of this nation. Private Hitch would serve for Company I of the 16th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry and would eventually be killed in that service near Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia on June 19, 1864 when his last words upon getting struck in the head by a Union minie ball were, "Oh Lordy." He was a farmer, friend to many, husband and father. Fortunately for us, he exchanged many correspondences with his wife, sons and other friends during his service that survive to this day. From these, we get unprecedented insight not only into the Hitch family, but also the macro-level happenings of Company I and his fellow soldiers in the 16th South Carolina. We glimpse the realities of family life in the south during the War Between The States and the economic frailties that resulted. We also get to observe the broader aspects of what it was like to be a part of the 16th South Carolina as it performed its mission throughout the southern theatre all through the war. Join us as we take a time machine back to the southern United States in the times leading up to and during the Civil War through the eyes of a South Carolina farmer and soldier and his family and friends.
Book Synopsis World War II and Upcountry South Carolina by : Courtney L. Tollison PhD
Download or read book World War II and Upcountry South Carolina written by Courtney L. Tollison PhD and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II changed America, and the history of Upcountry South Carolina during this era testifies to the wars deep impact. On the homefront, Upcountry residents grew victory gardens, supported recruits at local bases and soldiers abroad, and manufactured textile goods, including uniforms and parachutes, crucial for the war effort. As thousands of young men and women came into the Upcountry to train at Spartanburgs Camp Croft and Greenvilles Army Air Base, thousands more were sent to Europe, the Pacific, and beyond. More than 166,000 South Carolinians fought for the United States, including 5 Congressional Medal of Honor winners. The resulting import and export of culture through the war and long after reflects the modernization and diversification that occurred across the South. Using words and images from the men and women who lived through it all, Furman University professor and Upcountry History Museum historian Courtney Tollison examine the ways that Upcountry South Carolina affected World War II and how the war affected the region.

Book Synopsis A Devil of a Whipping by : Lawrence E. Babits
Download or read book A Devil of a Whipping written by Lawrence E. Babits and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Cowpens was a crucial turning point in the Revolutionary War in the South and stands as perhaps the finest American tactical demonstration of the entire war. On 17 January 1781, Daniel Morgan's force of Continental troops and militia routed British regulars and Loyalists under the command of Banastre Tarleton. The victory at Cowpens helped put the British army on the road to the Yorktown surrender and, ultimately, cleared the way for American independence. Here, Lawrence Babits provides a brand-new interpretation of this pivotal South Carolina battle. Whereas previous accounts relied on often inaccurate histories and a small sampling of participant narratives, Babits uses veterans' sworn pension statements, long-forgotten published accounts, and a thorough knowledge of weaponry, tactics, and the art of moving men across the landscape. He identifies where individuals were on the battlefield, when they were there, and what they saw--creating an absorbing common soldier's version of the conflict. His minute-by-minute account of the fighting explains what happened and why and, in the process, refutes much of the mythology that has clouded our picture of the battle. Babits put the events at Cowpens into a sequence that makes sense given the landscape, the drill manual, the time frame, and participants' accounts. He presents an accurate accounting of the numbers involved and the battle's length. Using veterans' statements and an analysis of wounds, he shows how actions by North Carolina militia and American cavalry affected the battle at critical times. And, by fitting together clues from a number of incomplete and disparate narratives, he answers questions the participants themselves could not, such as why South Carolina militiamen ran toward dragoons they feared and what caused the "mistaken order" on the Continental right flank.
