Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War's pivotal 1863 summer British Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Fremantle visited the Confederacy for three months. He entered Texas from Mexico on April 7, 1863. Fourteen weeks later he left New York to return to Britain. During the interval he visited every Confederate state except Florida and Arkansas. Along the way he called on more than a dozen Confederate leaders including Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. He was an observer at the battle of Gettysburg where he is popularly remembered as a character in Michael Shaara's, "The Killer Angels." During the final two days of his journey in New York he witnessed the draft riots.Throughout his 2,500-mile trip he maintained a diary, averaging 750 words daily. Owing to his neutrality, top-level access, and extensive travel, Fremantle's observations are priceless. On such topics as slavery, race, civilian life, gender experience, wartime travel, combat, politics, and leadership his diary paints an insightful and sometimes iconoclastic picture. While he met an impressive number of leaders many are only dimly remembered today. Additionally he met some of the prominent ones when they focused on obscure matters. At other times he observed major events as they were developing and thereby failed to understand the significance of what he witnessed. Philip Leigh's 178 annotations and the added illustrations in this volume provide background on the obscure characters, explain the little-known incidents, and put Fremantle's observations in proper context.
Book Synopsis THREE MONTHS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES by : Captain Arthur Fremantle
Download or read book THREE MONTHS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES written by Captain Arthur Fremantle and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2024-01-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Captain Arthur Fremantle, of the Coldstream Guards, upon his return to England from his three-month stay (April 2 until July 16, 1863) in the Confederate States of America. A very interesting and detailed account of the officer's time with the Confederate forces of the South, Fremantle was a notable British witness to The Battle of Gettysburg, one of the bloodiest battles during the American Civil War. This is an important account that was a best seller when published in 1864, in both the North and South. Contrary to popular belief, Fremantle was not an official representative of the United Kingdom; instead, he was something of a war tourist.

Book Synopsis Two Months in the Confederate States by : W. C. Corsan
Download or read book Two Months in the Confederate States written by W. C. Corsan and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1862 W. C. Corsan, an English steel merchant and manufacturer from Sheffield, visited the Confederacy to judge the impact of the American Civil War, especially the blockade, on his business prospects. Upon his return to Britain, Corsan penned his observations about the South and its Cause, and his memoir was published in London the following year. With the author identified in the book only as an “English Merchant,” Corsan remained obscure for more than 125 years. In this new edition, Benjamin H. Trask’s marvelous research identifies Corsan as the heretofore anonymous merchant and tracks his course from New York to New Orleans and across the Deep South. Trask’s introduction gives the first published information about Corsan’s life and firm, and also ably places the merchant’s visit in the context of England’s possible intervention on the side of the Confederacy. In a clear, lively, and at times humorous style, Corsan details his experiences, which include nearly being drafted into the Rebel army. He also records southerners’ attitudes toward the war and, as was natural given his background and mission, economic and financial matters. Trask’s footnotes provide welcome commentary on the text. A rosy view of the Confederacy emerges from Corsan’s narrative. Everywhere he went, the Englishman found southern morale very high. As he traveled, he analyzed the relative strengths of the opposing sides and concluded that the South would easily win the war. Although Corsan was opposed to slavery, he adamantly believed blacks incapable of rising in rebellion against their masters or of engaging in combat against southern troops. Corsan’s accurate descriptions of his surroundings reveal much about the Confederacy; his inaccuracies disclose much about himself and the British merchant class. With Trask’s notes illuminating the distinction, Two Months in the Confederate States is an invaluable resource for students of both the Civil War and the Victorian era.

Download or read book Three Months in the Southern States written by Arthur Lyon Fremantle and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Civil War was at a turning point in 1863 when Lt. Col. Arthur J. L. Fremantle of the British Coldstream Guards toured the Confederacy. Mildly predisposed toward the Union side because of his dislike of slavery, he was soon awakened to the gallantry of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and his generals, ordinary Johnny Rebs, and the women left at home. From April to early July 1863-the critical period of campaigns at Vicksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg-Fremantle traveled from the Texas frontier to northern Virginia, recording in a diary his experience of the war. Three Months in the Southern States, published upon his return to England later in the year, has long been considered a classic of wartime writing, especially in its description of the Battle of Gettysburg. Filled with biographical vignettes of Lee, Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Sam Houston, and others, this book offers a kaleidoscopic view of the Confederacy at floodtide.
