Book Synopsis Memories of the War of Secession by : Theophilus F. Botsford
Download or read book Memories of the War of Secession written by Theophilus F. Botsford and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1911 edition: The pages which follow contain the recollections of a private soldier of the 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment, one of gallant and fighting regiments of the Army of Northern Virginia. While not of an unusual character, they will nevertheless add something to the history of the tragic years of the War of Secession. This pamphlet is largely a reprint of another issue in 1909 and 1910 in two editions, namely, "A Sketch of the 47th Alabama Regiment, Volunteers, C. S. A." However, it is more than a mere revision, containing several new incidents, with considerable rearrangement. We have added a roster for the Alabama 47th Infantry along with an index and bibliography.

Book excerpt: This is one of the best firsthand accounts of the experiences men in the western theater endured in the Civil War. It was compiled by Captain E. D. Willett from diaries of men under his command. As each man was killed, another took up the account. Towards the end of the war, Captain Willett was promoted to Major of the 40th Alabama. Lieutenant James A. Latham was promoted to Captain and continued the account. After he too, was killed at Bentonville, the final pages of the diary were written by Sergeant John H. Curry. The history is quite detailed, with scarcely a day without entries. Of particular interest is the detailed account given of the siege of Vicksburg. "A considerable portion of the day our men were wading in water knee deep, Capt. James A. Latham, of Company "B" was killed and his body left on ground occupied by the Federals. Our lines changed position during the battle leaving his body behind. David Morrow, Wiley. Horton, Thos. Cameron and Sardine Hildreth, all of Company"B"were wounded. David Morrow died in an ambulance while being carried to field hospital. Wiley Horton had his leg amputated and died in hospital at Charlotte. Sergeant Curry was sick with chill on day before the battle and was not able to keep in line. Capt. Latham gave him permission to march out of ranks at will, in other words travel as best he could. He could not keep up with his command as he had to rest at intervals during the day. When he came up with the army on the morning of the 19th, he found that his regiment was some distance from where he approached the line. Being weak and not knowing where his command was located, he joined a Company belonging to the 51st Virginia and fought with them during the day. At night, the battle over, Curry asked the Commander of this Company to discharge him that he might go in search of his own command. The moon shone brightly, and traveling up the line in a westerly direction among the wounded, dead and dying, he at last came upon the ground that had been occupied by his Company during the en gagement. He first found the dead body of Clarence H. Ellerbe, Adjutant of the 40th Alabama, which he came near stepping upon as he stepped over a log. He could hear the groans of wounded men on every side, and going from one to another, came at last upon David Morrow and Wiley Horton, of Company "B"who were lying in a few feet of each other in a low place, thickly set with un derbrush. Morrow shot in the body, Horton in the leg. As they had fought in the water they were wet to their hips and very cold. Their sufferings were intense. Curry built a fire, dried their clothes and administered to them during the night. During this battle our flag with forty men was cut off from our regiment, got behind Federal lines, and the men had to make their way to Raleigh and return by rail. The flag bearer tore the flag from the staff, took down his pants, tied it round his leg and brought it out all O. K. except the staff. Several days after the battle they came into camp with it flying on a staff cut for the occasion. Such a sensation was never produced in our command before-men shouted, cried, kissed it, hugged it..." The flag is now in the Alabama Archives.

Book Synopsis The Vicksburg Assaults, May 19-22, 1863 by : Steven E. Woodworth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a series of victories through Mississippi early in the spring of 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant’s Army of the Tennessee had reached the critical point in its campaign to capture Vicksburg. Taking the city on the hill would allow the Union to control the Mississippi River and would divide the Confederacy in half. Confederate morale was low, and a Union victory in the war appeared close before the start of Grant’s assault against General John C. Pemberton’s Army of Mississippi. But due to difficult terrain, strong defenses, and uncoordinated movements, the quick triumph Grant desired was unattainable. On the afternoon of May 19, with little rest, preparation, or reconnaissance, Union forces charged the Confederate lines only to be repulsed. A respite between the assaults allowed both sides to reinforce their positions. Early on May 22 the Union artillery sought to soften the stronghold’s defenses before the general attack, but despite the Union forces’ preparation, the fighting proved even more disorganized and vicious. Again Grant failed to move Pemberton. Not wanting to risk more soldiers in a third attack, Grant conceded to the necessity of laying siege. Confederate morale climbed as the Southerners realized they had held their ground against an overwhelming force. Editors Steven E. Woodworth and Charles D. Grear have assembled five captivating essays that examine Grant’s unsuccessful assaults against Confederate defensive lines around Vicksburg. Ranging from military to social history, the essays further historical debates on prominent topics, such as the reactions of Midwesterners to the first failures of Grant’s Vicksburg campaign. Two essays from opposing sides analyze the controversial decisions surrounding the Railroad Redoubt, the site of the bloodiest fighting on May 22. Another investigates how the tenacity of Texan reinforcements forced Union soldiers to abandon their gains. Peppered with first-hand observations and bolstered by an impressive depth of research, this anthology is an invitingly written account and comprehensive assessment. By zeroing in on the two assaults, the contributors offer essential clarity and understanding of these important events within the larger scope of the Civil War’s Vicksburg Campaign.

Book excerpt: This Leavenworth Paper is a critical reconstruction of World War II Ranger operations conducted at or near Djebel el Ank, Tunisia; Porto Empedocle, Sicily; Cisterna, Italy; Zerf, Germany; and Cabanatuan in the Philippines. It is not intended to be a comprehensive account of World War II Ranger operations, for such a study would have to include numerous minor actions that are too poorly documented to be studied to advantage. It is, however, representative for it examines several types of operations conducted against the troops of three enemy nations in a variety of physical and tactical environments. As such, it draws a wide range of lessons useful to combat leaders who may have to conduct such operations or be on guard against them in the future. Many factors determined the outcomes of the operations featured in this Leavenworth Paper, and of these there are four that are important enough to merit special emphasis. These are surprise, the quality of opposing forces, the success of friendly forces with which the Rangers were cooperating, and popular support.
