Bearss. This book was released on 2009-09-30. Fields of Honor available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Few historians have ever captured the drama, excitement, and tragedy of the Civil War with the headlong elan of Edwin Bearss, who has won a huge, devoted following with his extraordinary battlefield tours and eloquent soliloquies about the heroes, scoundrels, and little-known moments of a conflict that still fascinates America. Antietam, Shiloh, Gettysburg: these hallowed battles and more than a dozen more come alive as never before, rich with human interest and colorful detail culled from a lifetime of study. Illustrated with detailed maps and archival images, this 448-page volume presents a unique narrative of the Civil War's most critical battles, translating Bearss' inimitable delivery into print. As he guides readers from the first shots at Fort Sumter to Gettysburg's bloody fields to the dignified surrender at Appomattox, his engagingly plainspoken but expert account demonstrates why he stands beside Shelby Foote, James McPherson, and Ken Burns in the front rank of modern chroniclers of the Civil War, as the Pulitzer Prize-winning McPherson himself points out in his admiring Introduction. A must for every one of America's countless Civil War buffs, this major work will stand as an important reference and enduring legacy of a great historian for generations to come.

Download and read online ebook A Rebel's Letters (New Intro, Annotated) write by General Joseph Benjamin Polley. This book was released on 2016-11-11. A Rebel's Letters (New Intro, Annotated) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. One of the most often-cited collections of letters from the American Civil War is brought to Kindle for the first time. General Joseph Benjamin Polley's letters to his future wife are considered some of the best of the period. An educated man, his letters were detailed accounts of his time in the Texas Brigade of John Bell Hood. At Seven Pines, Gaines’ Mill, 2nd Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chicamauga, and during Grant’s Overland Campaign, Polley was in the thick of the fighting. His writing is delightful and humorous. On meeting Stonewall Jackson in a road by chance, "No one offered to introduce us to each other, and, as we were both bashful, we lost the best chance of our lives to become acquainted." The want of supplies and equipment were keenly felt in the southern forces: “I wish to God I was at home.” “Oh, yes,” I replied, “you want to see the girl you left behind you, don’t you?” “No, indeed,” he blurted out, “but I want something to eat.” 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 and smartphones.

Download and read online ebook The Rebel Yell & the Yankee Hurrah write by John W. Haley. This book was released on 2014-09-07. The Rebel Yell & the Yankee Hurrah available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. On an "I will if you will" dare, John Haley enlisted in the 17th Maine Regiment in August 1862 "for three years, unless sooner discharged." ("Discharged, shot, or starved" would have been more accurate, Haley later wryly observed.) Though a reluctant soldier at first, he served steadfastly in the Army of the Potomac for nearly three years, participating in some of the most significant battles of the Civil War. John Haley was not the only soldier to record each day's events in his journal by firelight or by picket's lantern, for his was a literate generation. He was unusual in that he later painstakingly rewrote his battlefield notes, "reflecting at leisure" and adding fascinating political and personal commentary to produce the remarkable volume he calls Haley's Chronicles.
