They were Union and Confederate, black and white, men and women. Many descended from named 17th century immigrants. Others were recent immigrants, coming in either as a child, or as an adult, some being vets of Old Country wars. Some left large families, with 5 generations mentioned. Father and son vets are revealed, as are marriages between children of vets. Black vets include those who fled slavery to the North and those who fought for the Confederacy.

This iconoclastic, irascible old veteran (1838-1911) planned to publish these memoirs shortly after the turn of the century...but death came first, and unannounced. David Cornwell's salty, vivid descriptions of his wartime service are layered in among peacetime annotations about his life before and after the war. His stark and often shocking accounts of bitter, bloody hand-to-hand combat at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Milliken's Bend make this work outstanding for anyone fascinated by the Civil War...especially those interested primarily in the very early 1863 use of Union Colored troops in the Western Theater. Cornwell's service included intensely fought infantry action, assignments in the 2nd Illinois Light Artillery, recruitment, training and equipping slaves who were taken (under duress) from nearby Mississippi and Louisiana plantations. He served as ordinary infantryman, artilleryman, (both light and heavy), and commander of black occupation-garrison troopers. For genealogists, the Chronicles include a detailed index with a total of 560 entries, 371 of them being names of people who fought in the Western Armies...peers and compatriots of Cornwell.

This unit participated in some famous battles (Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Atlanta) as well as numerous smaller engagements. Masses of papers generated by this unit offer candid comments on those battles as well as daily camp life and the personalities of many of the officers and men. This book comprises orders, reports, memos, personal letters, etc., received and issued by the officers of the unit during this time. It is organized in the form of a \"unit diary\" and could be considered what the battery would have written if it could. Some of the most beautifully crafted letters by any soldier in the Civil War were written by William Wheeler, who served as captain of the 13th until his death in June of 1864. Until now, these letters were available only in a privately published collection printed in 1875. Few libraries have that volume, and many of the best historians of the Civil War have never seen the letters or even heard of Wheeler. Appendices round out this comprehensive work, providing information on unit service, officers, battles, a brief historical sketch of the unit, inscriptions on war monuments, and the eulogy for William Wheeler.

Through the power of their personal letters and diaries, over one hundred voices tell their stories from beyond the grave. In addition to these moving first-hand accounts, the troopers, their relatives at home, and some of the commanders relate their experiences in a composite journal. It is the author's intent to have the Sixth Ohio troopers tell their own story at or near the time that they experienced it. Post-war reminiscences have been used sparingly. The majority of the troopers were Ohio-born, but the Sixth Ohio Cavalry also contained Irish immigrants and men from over the Pennsylvania border. The Sixth fought side by side with cavalry regiments from Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. From the Valley Campaign to Gettysburg, and back through Maryland and Virginia to Appomattox, the Sixth Ohio Cavalry engaged General Lee's Confederate Army. Four appendices provide additional data: battles and skirmishes, the names of the wounded and captured, the Roll of Honor, and the Sixth Ohio Cavalry roster.

Late in June 1863, the 78th marched from Franklin Tennessee, to Murfreesboro to join General James Steedman's division of the Army of the Cumberland. As the tension mounted, Generals Rosecrans and Bragg played out a deadly game of tug-of-war near the banks of the Chickamauga, or \"River of Death.\" In September 1863, the 78th made a grueling 40-mile march from Bridgeport, Alabama, to Rossville, Georgia, to join the battle of Chickamauga. They lost 44% of their men,; Odell suffered a crippling foot injury. Exposed to the degradations of Southern slavery Odell shifted his political allegiance from the Democratic principles of his father to Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party. \"Since we came here I have had a better chance to ascertain the spirit and disposition of the African slave than every before, I find that they love liberty, and have as great hatred of oppression as the white man has...\" The letters are as amusing as they are informative.

In collecting his data, Dr. Fitch combined personal interviews with the oldest settlers of the region and their descendants with primary source material including family records, unrecorded deeds, wills, cemetery records, early court proceedings and newspapers, and unpublished manuscripts, most of these prior to 1850.

He served on General McClellan's staff and later commanded the volunteers in the defense of York County during the Gettysburg Campaign. On July 29, 1863, Major Haller's twenty-three-year military career came to a halt when he learned that he had been dismissed for disloyal conduct and sentiments. His accuser, Lieutenant Clark Wells, was a naval officer who had spent several months in an insane asylum and had only met Haller during the Fredericksburg campaign. Inquiries to the War Department requesting a copy of his dismissal proceedings were returned unanswered.

History, good or bad, is made by the average person who seeks neither fame nor fortune. This is their story—it is not about the war. It provides insight into the world of these men just prior to the war, with an analysis of the 1860 Federal Census, and looks again at that world at the end of the war with an analysis of the 1865 New York State Census. Mostly, this book offers readers a look at the lives of the men. Who were their parents, their brothers and sisters? Where were they born and what were they doing in life prior to the war? What happened to them during the war? What battles did they fight? Were they injured, wounded, captured or killed? If they were lucky enough to survive the war, what did they do with the rest of their lives? Who did they marry and who were their children? What jobs did they hold and where did they live? For those who survived the war and for those who didn't, where and how did they die?

The narrative allows us to follow the lives of these men, many of whom nobly leapt at the chance to defend their country, only to later learn the cost when they saw death on the battlefield for the first time. As the story of the Eleventh unfolds, we see them progress from raw recruits in their first skirmish to hardened veterans, enduring both the physical and mental hardships of battle. The soldiers themselves provide us with compelling accounts of the uncertainties of war through their correspondence. The induction of Negroes into the Union Army brought mixed feelings to the soldiers of the Eleventh, which would later turn to respect when the timely intervention of Black Union troops at Yazoo City, Mississippi, prevented the imminent surrender of the Eleventh. The evolution of several other battles in which the Eleventh Illinois Infantry participated, such as Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the siege of Mobile, are described in detail. The work also highlights the careers of two Federal officers who rose to fame in the Eleventh: Brigadier General W. H. L. Wallace and Major General T. E. G. Ransom.

He fought in many cavalry battles on the eastern front, and at one time he commanded a brigade of Union Cavalry.

Of these 120, 52 letters along with two diaries survived. In an effort to save their content from the ravages of time, the author began to transcribe them, thinking that Nathan's own words would be sufficient to tell his story. Along the way, however, the transcription became a research project — and a journey that begged to be shared. In this book, the author interprets Nathan's words, identifies the complex network of his friends and relatives that were impacted by the conflict, and analyzes his activities and what he thought about them in the context of history. From this thematic approach, a real human being emerges putting a face and a name to one of the most tragic periods in American history. While Nathan's writing is not polished and eloquent, his voice is, nevertheless, loud and clear. His words show a man who did not analyze the strategies of war, but who cared about the reasons for fighting; a man who did not criticize his superiors' motives, but cared deeply about their well-being; and a man who put the value of family, friends, and colleagues as high as his own life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNathan was like so many in the Civil War, just a young man who accepted the call to fight for what he perceived to be a noble cause, did his duty, and never complained — and paid the ultimate price when he died from battle wounds only two months before the end of the war. Statistically, he was indeed an average soldier. And yet, he was more than that. Nathan's letters and diaries and the research into the details behind his words can tell his unique story. He bared his hopes, dreams, beliefs, fears, obsessions, and flaws for all to see. What becomes the crux of Nathan Allen's letters and diaries is what we learn about him. The man, not the soldier and not the statistic, becomes the message.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisuals included with the text are from several sources.

Based primarily on unpublished material from archives and collections of the Ohio Historical Society and the Western Reserve Historical Society, this study draws together the largest gathering to date of previously untapped Zoar records. Following a brief and informative introduction, Webber allows these eloquent and fascinating primary sources to tell the story, thereby offering a unique perspective on the American Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip E.
