Book Synopsis The Fight for Missouri by : Thomas L. Snead
Download or read book The Fight for Missouri written by Thomas L. Snead and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fight for Missouri: From the Election of Lincoln to the Death of Lyon I Have written this book because it was my duty to write it; because, too, I fancy that I know more about the events that are narrated in it, than does any one who will ever take the trouble to write about them; and because I am the only living witness to many facts the remembrance of which ought to be preserved. That the reader may know whereon I ground these assertions, and that he may, before reading my testimony, be able to decide whether it be worth his attention, I will tell him frankly how I happen to know about these things. In the elections of 1860 - for Governor of Missouri, and for President of the United States - I took an active, though inconspicuous part, chiefly in the political management of the St. Louis Bulletin which was owned and edited by one of my friends, Mr. Longuemare. In its columns and elsewhere I advocated earnestly the election of Breckinridge to the Presidency, and of Claiborne F. Jackson to the Governorship.

Book Synopsis Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, and Missouri in 1861 by : James Peckham
Download or read book Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, and Missouri in 1861 written by James Peckham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, and Missouri in 1861: A Monograph of the Great Rebellion The political contest in Missouri, in 1860, was between those who yielded unqualified obedience to the slave power, and those who longed for relief from the imposi tions of the oligarchy. There were in the Democratic party leaders with sufficient influence to induce the party itself to espouse the'cause of Douglas; but the selection for governor fell upon one of the most virulent nullifiers who had hounded the great Benton to his grave. Without the possession of more than ordinary sagacity, those leaders saw that the majority of the people, while tolerant toward slavery, were yet averse to secession, and, as Douglas was looked upon as a middle-man, they adopted the cheat of carrying into the gubernatorial chair, under his banner, one in whom they felt they could trust the interests of the South, in any emergency that might arise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lyon Campaign in Missouri: Being a History of the First Iowa Infantry and of the Causes Which Led Up to Its Organization and How It Earned the Thanks of Congress Which It Got In the first iowa infantry the writer Of this book was a private soldier. He desires to give a history of the Regiment, and feels that he cannot do so in a proper way without drawing a brief picture of the conditions that preceded the great conflict, so that the reader may understand what was done and why it was done. The story of the great war is not understandable unless one knows the condi tions of society at the time, the feelings of the people, and the facts which preceded the first enlistments.

Book Synopsis Damned Yankee by : Christopher Phillips
Download or read book Damned Yankee written by Christopher Phillips and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathaniel Lyon (1818–1861) was the first Union general to die in the Civil War. Killed at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek, Missouri, he became the North’s first war hero, famed as the man who saved Missouri for the Union. In Damned Yankee, chosen by Choice as an Outstanding Academic Book in 1991, Christopher Phillips portrays Lyon not as the savior of a border state threatened by secessionist extremists but as an unbalanced, monomaniacal Unionist zealot who purposely—and perhaps unnecessarily—brought war to a fragile state whose populace had voted overwhelmingly to stay out of the conflict. Phillips meticulously examines Lyon’s role in the Camp Jackson affair, his quest to oust the pro-southern governor of Missouri, and his campaign to eliminate the secessionist element in the state. He contends that Lyon’s actions in Missouri in 1861 were congruent with his dogmatic personality and troubled past. Damned Yankee is a complex, often shocking, portrait of one of the most controversial figures of the Civil War and a sobering study of how the faults of men may greatly affect history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mary Lyon Every book has many authors; the title-page names but one. To all those who in countless ways have furthered the making of this book, I gratefully acknowledge my debt: men and women who knew Miss Lyon personally; their sons and daughters; alumnae of Mount Holyoke and people holding no affiliation with it, some of them concerned with other schools; members of the college faculty who throughout the work have given me so wise a seconding. The warm helpfulness which Miss Lyon evoked in life has met her biographer at every turn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Rebellion In Missouri 1861: Nathaniel Lyon And His Army Of The West by : Colonel Hans Christian Adamson
Download or read book Rebellion In Missouri 1861: Nathaniel Lyon And His Army Of The West written by Colonel Hans Christian Adamson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of General Nathaniel Lyon, whom the author aptly calls a “Missouri Yankee,” is a drama of stirring political-military events breaking on the Western Border in the spring of 1861. In exactly 90 days, Missouri was forever lost to the Confederacy. The Lyon story is high tragedy staged at the sanguine second battle of the American Civil War—Wilson’s Creek. Colonel Hans Christian Adamson in Rebellion in Missouri combines all the necessary elements in the dramatic story. He expertly re-examines Lyon’s generalship of the Union Army of the West. He ably reflects upon the significance of the Battle of Wilson’s Creek now, a century later, in the light of all the evidence. Moreover, he brings to us, during the centennial year of Lyon’s death, a monumental biography of Lyon. The others are eulogistic and written in the stilted and artificial speech of the eighteen sixties.

Book Synopsis The Birds of Colorado (Classic Reprint) by : Wells Woodbridge Cooke
Download or read book The Birds of Colorado (Classic Reprint) written by Wells Woodbridge Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Colorado The notes on migration given in the following table are designed to show the different time at which the same species of birds arrive at different places and altitudes in Colorado as compared with the time of their arrival in the same latitude farther east and at a lower altitude. St. Louis, Mo., is thirty miles farther north than Fort Lyon, Colo., and one hundred and twenty miles south of Loveland, Colo. Hence, according to latitude, the birds should arrive in St. Louis about the same time as at Fort Lyon. But it is found that in fact they reach St. Louis on the average about twelve days before they appear at Fort Lyon. The dates Of arrival seem to indicate an aver age difference Of six days between Fort Lyon and Loveland. The distance between these two places is one hundred and fifty miles, or an average movement for the birds of twenty-five miles per day. This agrees quite closely with the average of twenty-eight miles per day that was found to be the usual speed of migration in the Mississippi valley.
