McClellan as commander of the Grand Army of the Potomac. Instead of Hooker, Lincoln and the War Department support Major General Ambrose Burnside, whose plans to cross the Rappahannock before General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia can oppose the crossing are ruined by unforeseen disasters. The Army of the Potomac is forced to cross in front of Lee's well-entrenched position. Burnside's attacks against Lee's lines are repulsed, suffering great losses, and his men re-cross the Rappahannock and settle in for winter camp. Burnside attempts one more crossing of the icy river, which culminates in the Mud March of late January 1863.

This section includes a listing of the actions in which each of the regiments participated. Part II contains facsimiles of letters of soldiers who served in the Potomac Home Brigade, with exact transcriptions on the facing pages. The original handwriting can be read by the ambitious decipherer, or one can refer to the corresponding translation. This is the first time these letters have been published. Part III enhances the letters by offering additional collateral letters, documents, diary entries and contemporary newspaper articles found in various archives and collections. Many of these are also being published for the first time. Part IV is a series of biographical sketches of those writers of the letters in the author's collection on whom information is available. Also included are sketches of the principal persons mentioned. Photographs and inventories of some of the soldiers' personal effects add interest to this section. Part V is a comprehensive listing of each person who initially volunteered to serve in the Potomac Home Brigade. They are listed alphabetically by regiment and company. Each person's rank and date of mustering in is also listed. Those interested in determining if an ancestor was one who \"answered the call\" will find this section a valuable aid in their genealogical research.

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.

Greeley objected to Dana's pro-war sentiment and requested his resignation in 1862, at which time Dana was approached by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton with an offer to work for the War Department. Dana would serve the department in various capacities until he was appointed special commissioner, and sent to the front to investigate the paymasters of the Western Army in March, 1863. By April, Dana was operating out of the headquarters of General Grant and was reporting to the department about events at the front via an extensive network of couriers. This text is drawn mainly from these field reports and from Dana's personal collection of papers and memoirs, enriched by numerous character sketches. Charles Dana was Assistant Secretary of War from 1863 to 1865. Dana's experiences at Chickamauga, Chattanooga and the Wilderness in particular are vividly recounted.

The Confederate Secret Service established a corps of agents there who facilitated the movement of mail, supplies, and personnel between Washington City and elsewhere in the North, and Richmond. The author of this volume, Thomas A. Jones, was one of those agents. John Wilkes Booth was also involved in secret transactions for the Confederacy, as evidenced by his associations and actions, although no document has ever been found showing his \"appointment\" as an agent. In 1865 a plot to capture President Lincoln and carry him to Richmond as a bargaining chip in negotiations for a peace on terms acceptable to the South was orchestrated by Booth, who assembled a colorful band of co-conspirators. The plan called for transporting the captive Lincoln down the Southern Maryland \"mail route\" across the Potomac and on to Richmond. At least one attempt to capture Lincoln was made, but failed. After Lee surrendered, Booth changed the plan from a simple capture of Lincoln to the simultaneous assassination of Lincoln and key cabinet members which, if it had succeeded, would have paralyzed the government in the North. The outcome of Booth's effort is well known--Lincoln was assassinated, Secretary Seward was gravely injured, and Booth fled down the Southern Maryland \"mail route,\" leaving the balance of the plan unfulfilled. Enter Thomas A. Jones and his account of what followed. A most engaging bit of history.

It is probable that few, if any, military engagements this small saw the beginning careers of so many future high-ranking officers. With a total of less than 500 men engaged, here three future generals and five future colonels began their rise to military glory. And while a small skirmish, we see here the same basic elements of warfare that have appeared since the beginning of recorded history. Initial developments leading to the cavalry engagement at Sacramento, Kentucky, on December 28, 1861, occurred during the previous month. In November 1861, Confederate Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest's Tennessee cavalry battalion was assigned to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, at that time a major outpost on the Confederate defense line in Kentucky. On December 28, 1861, at the onset of what is now known as the Battle of Sacramento, Lt. Col. Forrest fired the first shot; and, with about 150 men, Forrest charged the Union advance. The author, who grew up in the shadow of the battleground, a two-year veteran of Vietnam, writer and university graduate in history, here opens up the facts of this skirmish.

Fort Powell survived one attack from the front but was not ready for the attack from the rear and was blown up by its own garrison. Yet it served its purpose for a time and its history, which includes the history of those who built, defended and attacked it, deserves to be told. This history of the defense of the western approach to Mobile Bay details the reasons Grants Pass was fortified and also covers the additional fortifications built on Little Dauphin Island and Cedar Point. It includes the building of Fort Powell in several stages, its temporary abandonment, and its successful repulsion of Admiral Farragut's fleet in February 1864. The author offers insight into the lives of the troops on the isolated island fort and the difficulties of the engineers in securing men and materials to build it. The early history of lower bay forts and pre-Civil War efforts to fortify the western approach to Mobile Bay are chronicled. A wealth of illustrations, photographs and maps enhance the text. Appendices include a timeline for \"The 21st Alabama Regiment and Lt. Colonel J. M. Williams\" and a timeline for \"Grants Pass Water Bottoms and Grants Island Possession and Ownership.\" An index to full-names, places and subjects adds to the value of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSidney H.

Jones work fills in many unknown aspects of the Booth-Herold escape account first exposed a century and a quarter ago. In late April 1865, journals coast to coast ran headlines about the assassins' flight following Lincoln's murder. And for decades following, the United States press and authors end on end embellished and looked for new sensational angles to this story. Interest in this pivotal event continues to this day. In the Washington, DC area, a harbinger of spring each year is the hosted bus expedition along the Booth-Herold pathway through Southern Maryland. This Jones-Booth book gives as detailed an account as could be crafted from ten years of research of the Jones family, Charles County, Maryland, State and Federal Government primary and secondary resources. Southern Maryland pro-confederacy leanings are an important part of the Jones contributions to the Southern cause. He never could have acted alone and successfully without much support from all levels of Southern Maryland society...as indicated in this fascinating tale. And \"Tom Jones\" was thought by Federal authorities in early 1862 to be an \"extremely dangerous\" Confederate agent appointed by Richmond to be the South's top secret service agent in Maryland.

Maryland contributed men to both sides of the war, but produced no Lee or Stuart, no Grant, Sherman or Sheridan. With the exception of Harriet Tubman and Raphael Semmes, those Marylanders who achieved notoriety in their lifetimes are largely forgotten.

Hence he obtained a copy of the transcripts, which he published in a small book in 1870. His introductory pages contain a personal narrative of the horrors he endured there. Helen Cox Tregillis revives this historic work and adds some background information about Andrews and Wirz in her introduction. Particularly heinous was Wirz's sanctioning of a trial among the prison gangs, which resulted in the hanging of six inmates.
