Book excerpt: As Jacob Cole watched commanders come and go throughout the American Civil War, he remained steadfastly on the front lines at places like Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, and Antietam. Like many men of his generation, he was able to capture the humor, sorrow, and horror of that bloodiest of American conflicts in this wonderful 1906 memoir.Shortly after the firing on Fort Sumter and the call for volunteers, 14-year-old Cole enlisted on the 24th day of August, 1861, at New York City in Company A, Fifty-seventh New York Volunteer Infantry. He also served with the First Fire Zouaves, made up of New York firemen. He wore the unconventional uniform of the Zouaves but his experiences were like every other fighter who remained in to the end. He saw action at Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor and elsewhere.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on nearly five decades of research, this magisterial work is a biographical register and analysis of the people who most directly influenced the course of the Civil War, its high commanders. Numbering 3,396, they include the presidents and their cabinet members, state governors, general officers of the Union and Confederate armies (regular, provisional, volunteers, and militia), and admirals and commodores of the two navies. Civil War High Commands will become a cornerstone reference work on these personalities and the meaning of their commands, and on the Civil War itself. Errors of fact and interpretation concerning the high commanders are legion in the Civil War literature, in reference works as well as in narrative accounts. The present work brings together for the first time in one volume the most reliable facts available, drawn from more than 1,000 sources and including the most recent research. The biographical entries include complete names, birthplaces, important relatives, education, vocations, publications, military grades, wartime assignments, wounds, captures, exchanges, paroles, honors, and place of death and interment. In addition to its main component, the biographies, the volume also includes a number of essays, tables, and synopses designed to clarify previously obscure matters such as the definition of grades and ranks; the difference between commissions in regular, provisional, volunteer, and militia services; the chronology of military laws and executive decisions before, during, and after the war; and the geographical breakdown of command structures. The book is illustrated with 84 new diagrams of all the insignias used throughout the war and with 129 portraits of the most important high commanders.

This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important figures of the American Civil War penned this fascinating and unique memoir. John Gibbon's recollections of his service at Gettysburg and other great battles is frank and personal. This is not an overview of great battles but a soldier's account of the trials and triumphs of four years of horrific conflict. Gibbon wrote plainly about the great men with whom he served, some of whom he greatly admired and some who were difficult. Here are anecdotes of Lincoln, Grant, Meade, Hancock, Hooker, Pope, and many others that you won't read anywhere else. Gibbon was a central figure at Gettysburg, with Pickett's Charge aimed right at the forces he commanded. Wounded on the third day of the battle, he supplemented his memoir with portions of the outstanding narrative of that day by his aide, Lieutenant Frank Haskell. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of young Civil War General Emory Upton, General James Wilson wrote:"Upton was as good an artillery officer as could be found in any country, the equal of any cavalry commander of his day, and, all things considered, was the best commander of a division of infantry in either the Union or the rebel army. He was incontestably the best tactician of either army. No one can read the story of his brilliant career without concluding that he had a real genius for war."Upton is best known for leading infantry assaults at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. Remarkably, he commanded troops as an artillery officer, cavalry officer, and infantry officer. He is one of the unsung heroes of the American Civil War who is too-little remembered today. After the war, his writings on reformation of infantry tactics and organization of the U.S. military had tremendous impact on the American armed forces.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

This book was released on 1874-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the War Department intelligence chief during the American Civil War, a spy, and a colonel in the cavalry. He was put in charge of the investigation of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, was at the capture and death of John Wilkes Booth, and brought away the items in Booth's pockets...including Booth's diary. Lafayette C. Baker's name appears in over 150 New York Times articles between 1861 and 1868. His work was important, well-regarded,and of great interest to the public (at least what could be told publicly). He was in close contact with Abraham Lincoln, Edwin Stanton, and other high officials. When he was accused later of spying on the White House, he was dismissed and set about writing this memoir of his time in service during the Civil War. Conspiracy theories are completely unnecessary to make Lafayette Baker an important and fascinating figure in Civil War history. His writing is intelligent, thrilling, and clearly in earnest. Read him for what he offers to the history of the period and for the associations he had during his life and you’ll be more than rewarded for your time. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Book excerpt: "James M. McPherson’s Tried by War is a perfect primer . . . for anyone who wishes to understand the evolution of the president’s role as commander in chief. Few historians write as well as McPherson, and none evoke the sound of battle with greater clarity." —The New York Times Book Review The Pulitzer Prize–winning author reveals how Lincoln won the Civil War and invented the role of commander in chief as we know it As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, this study by preeminent, bestselling Civil War historian James M. McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic figures in American history. Tried by War offers a revelatory (and timely) portrait of leadership during the greatest crisis our nation has ever endured. Suspenseful and inspiring, this is the story of how Lincoln, with almost no previous military experience before entering the White House, assumed the powers associated with the role of commander in chief, and through his strategic insight and will to fight changed the course of the war and saved the Union.

This book was released on with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Sheridan, Ulysses S. Grant said, “As a soldier, as a commander of troops, as a man capable of doing all that is possible with any number of men, there is no man living greater than Sheridan. He belongs to the very first rank of soldiers, not only of our country, but of the world. I rank Sheridan with Napoleon and Frederick and the great commanders in history." He was bold in battle but insisted he was never reckless. He was loved by his men and was lauded by the public for the rest of his life after the American Civil War. His reputation as a soldier was worldwide and when he toured Europe later in life, he was hailed as a hero. He intended to write his memoirs and was working on them when he died in 1888. Two men who knew him (one of whom served with him) took up the task and delivered this volume to an admiring audience. The two men who completed this work were former cavalrymen and famous journalists in their day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though unknown to most Americans today, Major General James Harrison Wilson was one of the central figures of the Civil War. Only 24 at the outbreak, the West Point graduate quickly rose through the ranks.After time on McClellan's staff, Wilson served Grant in the Vicksburg Campaign and later in the eastern theater as one of the most effective cavalry commanders of the war, under Pleasanton and Sheridan.Called "Grant's pet" by a jealous George Armstrong Custer, Wilson played a significant role in several battles of the Overland Campaign and trained Sherman's cavalry for the March to the Sea. Wilson was one of the few Union commanders to defeat Confederate cavalry commander Nathan Bedford Forrest in battle, with whom he later became friends.A great admirer of General George Thomas, Wilson and 17,000 of his troopers were part of the Battle of Nashville. Wilson's men were in on the capture of Jefferson Davis and Andersonville's notorious Henry Wirz.The great delight of Wilson's memoir is the extraordinary detail. He provides some of the most wonderful, humorous, and insightful anecdotes of the many famous men who were his friends and superiors in America's titanic clash. Blunt, outspoken, and brilliant, he later served in the Spanish American War as a general of volunteers.He was also a prolific author of many books and articles, including the only biography of his friend, General John A. Rawlins, who was Grant's chief of staff.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.

This book was released on 1865-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In view of the author's rich material, his well-known trustworthiness, and graphic descriptive powers, the publishers feel justified in predicting a work of unusual interest, containing more of the fact, incident, and romance of the war than any other which has yet appeared." NEW YORK TIMES, April 1865 The remarkable Civil War career of famous New York "Tribune" journalist, Albert D. Richardson, was packed with more action, intrigue, and danger than many of his colleagues. Like war correspondents today, Richardson reported from where the shells were flying and men were dying. He was also a Union spy. He reported from the south before the war and from "Bleeding Kansas" in the fifties. He met with and discussed the war with Abraham Lincoln before heading to Vicksburg. That's all here in his classic book. And in 1863, Richardson and the other famous "Tribune" correspondent, Junius Browne, were captured while trying to run the Confederate batteries protecting the river at Vicksburg. They spent 20 months in harrowing prison conditions until their dramatic and dangerous escape through enemy territory. It's a story that should be known by every American. Richardson aspired to great literary writing but along with the danger, there is plenty of wonderful humor. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
