Book Synopsis Battle of West Frederick, July 7, 1864 by : Joseph V. Collins
Download or read book Battle of West Frederick, July 7, 1864 written by Joseph V. Collins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Civil War book about a little known engagement that took place two days before the important Battle of Monocacy which is referred to as the battle that saved Washington, D.C. from capture by the Confederates. The book follows the ragtag Confederate Army of the Valley commanded by the cantankerous General Jubal Early on its ill fated 1864 invasion of Maryland. It introduces the reader to the various players and the general background that would become part of this critical thirty day period in the Civil War. Special emphasis is placed on the Third Potomac Home Brigade and the role this unit of Marylanders would play in the events. The book follows Jubal Earlys army through the Shenandoah Valley, its eventual crossing of the Potomac River into Maryland and the reaction to this impending problem by two particular individuals, John Garrett of the Baltimore & Railroad and Union General Lew Wallace. It details the various engagements fought between the invading Confederates and the hastily assembled Union defenders leading up the fighting that occurred first on the morning of July 7th at Middletown, Maryland then culminating in spirited fighting during the afternoon and evening hours, in the farm fields just west of Frederick. The book continues with the military activities on July 8th and concentrates on the part that the Third Potomac Home Brigade plays in the Battle of Monocacy that transpires on July 9th. While concentrating on the military activities during this time period the book takes time to discuss the ransoms of three Maryland communities by the invading Confederates namely Frederick, Hagerstown and Middletown. To better inform the reader information is provided through maps, pictures and lists on units involved, their commanders, troop movement, period currency and transportation. When finished its hoped the reader will have a better understanding of the importance of the July 7th fighting, those that participated and the overall impact it had on the preparations for and the outcome of the Battle of Monocacy.

Book Synopsis The Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864 by : Gary W. Gallagher
Download or read book The Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864 written by Gary W. Gallagher and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally regarded as the most important of the Civil War campaigns conducted in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, that of 1864 lasted more than four months and claimed more than 25,000 casualties. The armies of Philip H. Sheridan and Jubal A. Early contended for immense stakes. Beyond the agricultural bounty and the boost in morale a victory would bring, events in the Valley also would affect Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection in the November 1864 presidential canvass. The eleven original essays in this volume reexamine common assumptions about the campaign, its major figures, and its significance. Taking advantage of the most recent scholarship and a wide range of primary sources, contributors examine strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the campaign's political repercussions, and the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies. The authors do not always agree with one another, yet, taken together, their essays highlight important connections between the home front and the battlefield, as well as ways in which military affairs, civilian experiences, and politics played off one another during the campaign.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III FROM THE POTOMAC TO THE CHICKAHOMINY On February 22, 1862, General N. J. T. Dana, an officer of the Regular Army, took command of our brigade; and General Sedgwick was made the regular commander of our division. On February 26 the Twentieth broke camp and took leave of Camp Benton. The first move was to Camp Foster, close to the village of Poolesville, where we occupied that night the tents of the Fifteenth Massachusetts, which had joined General Banks's command, and had started on the move to seize Harper's Ferry, and reopen the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This camp was rechristened Camp Lee in honor of our colonel, and there, two days later, were pitched the tents which had been removed from Camp Benton. On the 6th of March Lieutenant Milton was detailed as aide-de-camp to General Dana, brigade commander, and spent the rest of his term of service on staff duty, although keeping his commission in the regiment. On March 8 Leesburg, the object of the unfortunate attack at Ball's Bluff, was abandoned by the rebels and occupied by General Geary. On the llth at 10 A. M. the regiment left Camp Lee under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Palfrey and marched eight miles to the mouth of the Monocacy River, where canal-boats took it to Point of Rocks. Here it bivouacked until eleven o'clock on the morning ofthe 12th, when it again took canal-boats to Harper's Ferry. It marched eight miles to Charlestown, Virginia, and bivouacked for the night. It marched through this little town the next morning in fine style, making a long halt in the middle of the town. On starting again the band struck up Dixie, and to that tune marched with flying colors past the prison where John Brown had been confined. It continued its way twelve miles to Berryville and bivouacked for the ...

Book Synopsis "Bully for the Band!" by : Charles George
Download or read book "Bully for the Band!" written by Charles George and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-01-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the commanding call of the bugle at reveille to combat instructions (such as "fix bayonets") to reassuring songs around the campfire at night, music was an integral part of the Civil War soldier's experience. This volume presents the Civil War writings of Charles, Herbert, Jeremiah and Osman George, four brothers from the town of Newbury, Vermont, who played in the 10th Vermont Infantry regimental band. Their letters and a diary describe the life of an enlisted musician, including forming a band, rehearsals and repertory, performances for officers, troops, and civilians--and battlefield stretcher-bearer duties. Despite the hardships they suffered, including the loss of one brother, their writings (supported by detailed scene-setting narratives by editor Davis) reveal the Georges' fraternal bond that sustained them emotionally and ensured they would continue to serve their comrades in battle.
Book Synopsis Army Life According to Arbaw by : Daniel Masters
Download or read book Army Life According to Arbaw written by Daniel Masters and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Army Life According to Arbaw" is a book length Civil War soldier's narrative that presents a well written and insightful view of army life as viewed by William A. Brand of the 66th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Brand, whose missives were published under the nom-de-plume "D.N. Arbaw" by the Urbana Citizen & Gazette, wrote frequent letters that provide a detailed view of his regiment's experiences with both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the Cumberland. Eighty-two of his wartime letters are included in this book. Early in the war he was detailed to the quartermaster's department of the regiment to assist his father who was the regimental quartermaster. As such, Brand's military family was the leadership of the regiment, and he described the campaigns and battles in which his regiment participated from this perspective; yet his depictions of combat and life in camp are striking for their power and immediacy.

Book Synopsis Cranbury by : John Whiteclay Chambers
Download or read book Cranbury written by John Whiteclay Chambers and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the oldest towns in New Jersey, Cranbury has a long and noteworthy history that is in part distinctive and in part broadly representative of larger themes in the development of the state and the nation. In this beautifully illustrated book sponsored by Cranbury Landmarks, Inc., historian John Whiteclay Chambers II links the narrative of this remarkable place to contemporary debates about suburbanization and land-use planning. Founded in 1697 and soon featuring an inn, a gristmill, and a church, the village prospered due to its strategic location on important transportation routes between New York and Philadelphia and its fertile, productive farmland. David Brainerd, a famous and controversial young missionary, came there to preach to the Lenape Indians. In 1778, George Washington and his army stayed there on their way to the Battle of Monmouth. In the nineteenth century, roadways, railroads, and turnpikes spurred the town’s commerce and agriculture. Yet unlike many old agricultural centers transformed by suburbanization in the twentieth century, Cranbury has retained its picturesque, small-town image and much of its charm. Cranbury has the feel of a well-preserved nineteenth-century village, remarkable for its intact and cohesive domestic and commercial architecture—a status recognized when it was placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. In the last several decades, an active citizenry has innovatively linked the historic preservation of the town center with the maintenance of adjoining farmland, stream corridors, and wildlife habitats. How Cranbury preserved much of its character while accommodating economic growth provides a central theme in this book. Preserving the best of the past while astutely meeting the challenges of the present, Cranbury’s history offers an inspiration for active civic participation, a model for enlightened development, and an engaging American story.
