CHAPTER III AFTER THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG THE NATIONAL CAPITAL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD NEWS -- AFTER THE FIGHT -- LEE'S ESCAPE ACROSS THE POTOMAC AT FALLING WATERS -- LINCOLN'S DISAPPOINTMENT. UNDER the influence of the good news that reached us in the early weeks of July, 1863, Washington was a cheerful place to live in. There had been many months of wearying discouragement; people had waited with hope often deferred for tidings of victory to the Union arms, and these never came. The battle of Gettysburg, fought so near the national capital, as it seemed to us, was a prodigious event; for, although it was not then regarded, as it is now, as the turning-point in the war, even the most cautious and conservative of observers began to think that it might prove that "beginning of the end" which the more sanguine had seen so many times and so many times had despaired of realizing. But from the southwest came tidings of great joy to every patriotic heart. During the first two weeks of July we heard of the fall of Port Hudson, the surrender at Vicksburg, the opening of the Mississippi River, the renewed attack on Charleston, and other less important successes, which, under ordinary conditions, would have been eagerly grasped at as of pith and moment. The single drop of bitterness in our cup of joy was the unexpected flight of Lee's army across the Potomac after the battle of Gettysburg; this, it was felt, was another postponement of a long-looked-for event -- the final crippling of the army of invasion that had so many times threatened Washington. The first news of the capitulation of Vicksburg, by the way, was received at the Navy Department, about noon, July 7, in a despatch from Admiral Porter. Secretary Welles astonished everybody who...

Download or read book Lincoln's Confidant written by Wayne C. Temple and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the legendary Lincoln scholar Wayne C. Temple comes the long-awaited full-length biography of Noah Brooks, the influential Illinois journalist who championed Abraham Lincoln in Illinois state politics and became his almost daily companion at the White House. Best remembered as one of the president's few true intimates, Brooks was also a nationally recognized man of letters, who mingled with the likes of Mark Twain and Bret Harte. Temple draws on archives and papers long thought lost to re-create Brooks's colorful life and relationship with Lincoln. Brooks's closeness to the president made him privy to Lincoln's thoughts on everything from literature to spirituality. Their frank conversations contributed to the wealth of journalism and personal observations that would make Brooks's writings a much-quoted source for historians and biographers of Lincoln. A carefully researched and well-documented scholarly resource, Lincoln's Confidant is the story of an extraordinary friendship by one of the luminaries of Lincoln scholarship.

Download or read book Lincoln's Informer written by Carl J. Guarneri and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a recent poll of leading historians, Charles A. Dana was named among the “Twenty-Five Most Influential Civil War Figures You’ve Probably Never Heard Of.” If you have heard of Dana, it was probably from his classic Recollections of the Civil War (1898), which was ghostwritten by muckraker Ida Tarbell and riddled with errors cited by unsuspecting historians ever since. Lincoln’s Informer at long last sets the record straight, giving Charles A. Dana his due in a story that rivals the best historical fiction. Dana didn’t just record history, Carl J. Guarneri notes: he made it. Starting out as managing editor of Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune, he led the newspaper’s charge against proslavery forces in Congress and the Kansas territory. When his criticism of the Union’s prosecution of the war became too much for Greeley, Dana was drafted by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to be a special agent—and it was in this capacity that he truly made his mark. Drawing on Dana’s reports, letters, and telegrams—“the most remarkable, interesting, and instructive collection of official documents relating to the Rebellion,” according to the custodian of the Union war records—Guarneri reconstructs the Civil War as Dana experienced and observed it: as a journalist, a confidential informant to Stanton and Lincoln, and, most controversially, an administration insider with surprising influence. While reporting most of the war’s major events, Dana also had a hand in military investigations, the cotton trade, Lincoln’s reelection, passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, and, most notably, the making of Ulysses S. Grant and the breaking of other generals. Dana’s reporting and Guarneri’s lively narrative provide fresh impressions of Lincoln, Stanton, Grant, and other Union war leaders. Lincoln’s Informer shows us the unlikely role of a little-known confidant and informant in the Lincoln administration’s military and political successes. A remarkable inside look at history unfolding, this book draws the first complete picture of a fascinating character writing his chapter in the story of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln is the most beloved of all U.S. presidents. He freed the slaves, gave the world some of its most beautiful phrases, and redefined the meaning of America. He did all of this with wisdom, compassion, and wit. Yet, throughout his life, Lincoln fought with God. In his early years in Illinois, he rejected even the existence of God and became the village atheist. In time, this changed but still he wrestled with the truth of the Bible, preachers, doctrines, the will of God, the providence of God, and then, finally, God's purposes in the Civil War. Still, on the day he was shot, Lincoln said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior's steps. What had happened? What was the journey that took Abraham Lincoln from outspoken atheist to a man who yearned to walk in the footsteps of Christ? In this thrilling journey through a largely unknown part of American history, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield tells the richly textured story of Abraham Lincoln's spiritual life and draws from it a meaning sure to inspire Americans today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize Featuring a foreword by Battle Cry of Freedom author James McPherson A vibrant portrait of Civil War-era Washington, D.C. that is “packed and running over with the anecdotes, scandals, personalities, and tragi-comedies of the day”—from the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for History (The New Yorker) 1860: The American capital is sprawling, fractured, squalid, colored by patriotism and treason, and deeply divided along the political lines that will soon embroil the nation in bloody conflict. Chaotic and corrupt, the young city is populated by bellicose congressmen, Confederate conspirators, and enterprising prostitutes. Soldiers of a volunteer army swing from the dome of the Capitol, assassins stalk the avenues, and Abraham Lincoln struggles to justify his presidency as the Union heads to war. Reveille in Washington focuses on the everyday politics and preoccupations of Washington during the Civil War. From the stench of corpse-littered streets to the plunging lace on Mary Lincoln’s evening gowns, Margaret Leech illuminates the city and its familiar figures—among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, William Seward, and Mary Surratt—in intimate and fascinating detail. Leech’s book remains widely recognized as both an impressive feat of scholarship and an uncommonly engrossing work of history. “The best single popular account of Washington during the great convulsion of the Civil War.” —The Washington Post
