Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the enormous body of American Civil War memoirs, this one stands out as a unique indictment of military despotism and ineptitude by a highly-educated and articulate officer, Colonel Edward Savage Bacon.Stinging with irreverence and humor, articulate and profane, Bacon wrote one of the best Civil War memoirs and illuminates in wonderful prose the vagaries of commanding men under corrupt leadership. His descriptions of battle are detailed and afford a look at the human side of combat, not just statistics. His description of the siege of Port Hudson and the disastrous Union charges there is among the best you'll find in any war memoir.Twice brought before courts martial and acquitted, attorney Bacon then brought charges against his commander:"Thomas S. Clark, was drunk, and being drunk, did then and there make an indecent exposure of his own person and of the person of a certain woman of color called Maria, and did then and there attempt [redacted] and other things then and there did too enormous to be mentioned..." He also used his men "for purposes of private gain and speculation in obtaining cotton and otherwise, whereby the health and lives of officers and men were endangered."Through court-martial for refusing an order to move his men out of barracks into swamps, the pillage of Ponchatoula by Union troops (the cotton thieves) to the siege of Port Hudson and the Battle of Baton Rouge, Bacon observed while high officers whored, drank to excess, avoided combat, and pillaged for personal gain. All the while the rank and file soldiers are subjected to disregard and abuse. (Port Hudson was the first time African-Americans were used in a major Civil War battle and they appear here.)This was not the only instance Bacon observed of commanding officers using war to comfort or enrich themselves at the expense of the rank and file. After the war, Bacon had a successful career as an attorney in Niles, Michigan.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
Book Synopsis Incidents and Anecdotes of the Civil War (Abridged, Annotated) by : Admiral David Dixon Porter
Download or read book Incidents and Anecdotes of the Civil War (Abridged, Annotated) written by Admiral David Dixon Porter and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1885-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stern look on the cover of this book should not fool you. David Dixon Porter was one of the wittiest, most erudite men to have served in the American Civil War and once you've read his memoirs, you won't miss the twinkle in those eyes. What most Americans know about the Civil War centers around Union and Confederate land campaigns. But without the U.S. Navy, the absolutely essential blockade of southern ports could not have prevented the rebels from trading on a large scale. Even less known is the crucial role the Navy played in many of the land campaigns, including the siege of Vicksburg and operations on the James River among many others. David Porter was in the center of this action, collaborating closely with Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. Porter was the U.S. Navy's second admiral, after his adopted brother David Farragut. This book is full of some of the most interesting anecdotes and the most important players in the American Civil War. Porter writes with great humor and describes stories you won't read in any other Civil War memoir. During Abraham Lincoln's two week visit to City Point, shortly before his assassination, Porter was by his side nearly all the time. His observations of the great man and his reminiscences of their conversations are unique in Civil War literature. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From “the best writer of mayhem yarns since Raymond Chandler” (San Francisco Chronicle) comes a hard-hitting, entertaining entry in the trailblazing Harlem Detectives series about two NYPD detectives who must piece together the clues of the scam of a lifetime. Flim-flam man Deke O’Hara is no sooner out of Atlanta’s state penitentiary than he’s back on the streets working a big scam. As sponsor of the Back-to-Africa movement, he’s counting on a big Harlem rally to produce a massive collection—for his own private charity. But the take is hijacked by white gunmen and hidden in a bale of cotton that suddenly everyone wants to get his hands on. As NYPD detectives “Coffin Ed” Johnson and “Grave Digger” Jones face the complexity of the scheme, we are treated to Himes’s brand of hard-boiled crime fiction at its very best.

Download or read book The 6th Michigan Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War written by Eric R. Faust and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th Michigan Volunteer Infantry first deployed to Baltimore, where the soldiers' exemplary demeanor charmed a mainly secessionist population. Their subsequent service along the Mississippi River was a perfect storm of epidemic disease, logistical failures, guerrilla warfare, profiteering, martinet West Pointers and scheming field officers, along with the doldrums of camp life punctuated by bloody battles. The Michiganders responded with alcoholism, insubordination and depredations. Yet they saved the Union right at Baton Rouge and executed suicidal charges at Port Hudson. This first modern history of the controversial regiment concludes with a statistical analysis, a roster and a brief summary of its service following conversion to heavy artillery.
