Since it was the responsibility of the Secretary of State to maintain the roster prior to 1820, it was imperfectly kept and it is likely that it no longer survives. After 1820, the duty was transferred to the state's Adjutant Generals, where it was accurately maintained as long as the state's militia law remained in effect. Entries in the list include the name, rank, dates of commission and discharge (when given), and the unit of each officer. A large number of the entries also include the place of residence of the officer. In addition to the database, two documents that will aid the researcher in narrowing down the identity of the subject in question are included. The first is a breakdown by the villages, towns, or cities that made up each regiment, brigade and division.

Col. F. F. Cavada who was captured two days before the defeat of the rebel forces at Gettysburg and conveyed to Richmond where he spent one year in the rebel prison known as Libby. Composed of notes and sketches taken while imprisoned, this account was published months after his release. With the impressions of incarceration still fresh in his memory, Lt. Col. Cavada gives us a vivid and detailed record of daily life in Libby. From this book, the reader will gain insight into every aspect of the mundane prison routine including accounts of the sleeping arrangements, cooking, bathing, etc. But much to the author's credit, he dwells not on the long silences and melancholy of prison life, but on the exciting events within the prison which helped to dispel the gloom. The Libby population being composed primarily of officers led, for the most part, to an interest in refined diversions. The prisoners formed a debating club, and many had endeavored to educate themselves with classes in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, fencing, dancing, and military tactics among others. They even published a weekly prison newspaper called the \u003cem\u003eLibby Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e. There was a prison orchestra, and they had parties which included music and dancing. There were also court martial proceedings, hangings, and diseases such as scurvy and small pox to deal with.

This narrative details some remarkable incidents of the war and, as such, serves the dual role of entertainment and historical record as presented through personal experience. Fox's father was a tailor, and being poor and having a large family, he thought it best to send young Ebenezer to a local farmer where he could work and earn his own keep. There he stayed for five years. As time wore on, however, Ebenezer began to feel he was being unjustly used by the farmer. Figuring to put an end to his oppression, he set out for Providence, Rhode Island with hopes of grand adventures on the high seas. What follows is an account of Fox's life as a cabin boy, a replacement soldier and finally as a sailor aboard an American fighting vessel. He recounts his days with remarkable detail including vivid accounts of the battles he was a part of and his encounters with some of the more famous people of his time such as John Paul Jones and John Foster Williams. He also sheds a striking light on his sufferings aboard the Old Jersey Prison-Ship and how he effected his escape; truly a remarkable tale of a young patriot and his country's fight for freedom.

The remnants of the American army in Pennsylvania, led by General George Washington, were fading away. Across the Delaware River, the English forces had gone into winter quarters and were awaiting the start of a final campaign in the spring of the coming year, when they would crush any remaining American force. A brigade of Hessian hirelings was stationed at the most exposed English outpost at Trenton; their commander was Hessian colonel Johann Gottlieb Rall, hero of White Plains and Fort Washington. On 26 December, however, the course of history took a sharp and sudden change when the two commanders, Washington and Rall, clashed. Washington's army of 6,000 men crossed the Delaware River in a blinding winter storm and attacked Rall's brigade. In the fighting which followed, the Americans had only a handful of casualties, while Hessian casualties amounted to about 900. The Hessian soldiers kept numerous diaries in which they recorded their impressions of America and Americans, as well as their daily military activity. Here, Mr. Burgoyne has translated some of these documents to provide descriptions and opinions of the senior commanders at Trenton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese pages are packed with fascinating description and insight concerning these two men.

The book is divided into three parts, entitled: \"Baron Von Steuben,\" General John Kalb,\" and \"German Mercenaries.\" In the first section we learn about Frederick William Augustus Henry Ferdinand von Steuben, who has been called \"the creator of our regular army.\" He began his military career at age fourteen in the bloody siege of Prague in 1744. In 1777, he was forty-six when he discussed with Benjamin Franklin the possibility of leading American troops. He joined Washington's forces at Valley Forge as a lieutenant general. In a departure from the custom of recruits being drilled by sergeants, Steuben drilled the men personally, and soon wrought a dramatic improvement in skill and morale which may have been the decisive factor in subsequent successes at places such as Monmouth, New Jersey. With the rank of Inspector-General, he authored the \"Blue Book\" of military regulations, and invented the light infantry. He served valuably in Virginia in the winter of 1780-81, and during the memorable siege of Yorktown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Kalb, born a German peasant in 1721, by age twenty-two had convinced his regiment that he was a nobleman named de Kalb, and became a lieutenant in the German infantry in the service of France.

In 1776 he was offered the rank of major general in the colonial forces. Like von Steuben, de Kalb shared in the bleak winter in Valley Forge. The American alliance with France transformed his rank to that of a general in the French army, and from then until 1780 be was constantly with the colonial army, sharing its hardships, finally fighting with General Gates at the American town of Camden against Cornwallis.

To this impressive list he now adds the writings of Lieutenant Friedrich Julius Von Papet, a young Brunswick officer whose journal spans the period from May of 1776 to October of 1783. \"One of the most significant and important effects of the English employment of Hessians during the American Revolutionary War was the retention of English control of Canada. General John Burgoyne had taken most of the [British] military strength from Canada for his command when he marched against the American colonists in 1777. However, even after France entered the war [on the American side], the residents of that former French colony were not strong enough to openly resist the military control exercised by a small English and Hessian command. As a result, England retained Canada under the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTroops from Hesse-Cassel, Waldeck and Ansbach-Bayreuth were sent to Howe's command, as well as some troops from Hesse-Hanau and Anhalt-Zerbst, while troops from Hesse-Hanau, Brunswick and Anhalt-Zerbst provided the forces sent to Canada, together with some troops from Hesse-Cassel which were sent from New York to Canada later in the war. The Brunswick troops, numbering 4,300 men, sailed for America in two divisions, one departing in late March 1776, and the other, including Von Papet, departing on 31 May 1776, two weeks after the start of this journal. Von Papet was one of the Hessians (only 600+ officers and non-commissioned officers) who remained behind in Canada when John Burgoyne began his march against the American colonists in 1777. Though only twenty-one years old, Von Papet was assigned the important position of brigade major. Because he kept a diary throughout his English service (all the way up to his return march to Brunswick), we have a picture of the military, social and cultural life in Canada at that time. As a very young man in a very demanding position, Von Papet records the inner reactions among his superiors with a noteworthy caution and understanding not to let his position cause him harm. As there is a scarcity of information concerning military affairs in Canada during the American Revolution, Von Papet's journal provides much-needed insight into why Canada never became a very large fourteenth American colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBruce E.

Contrabands enlisted at a compensation rate no higher than ten dollars per month and one ration a day when needed by the Federal Navy. Much more than a biography of one man, this book is a history of Union naval warships, naval battles and the contrabands, or colored sailors, who served the Union cause. Colored casualties aboard Union ships are also listed. Ms. Secret's research methods will help many other genealogists. She consulted a post-Civil War pension claim and a former slave living legal record. From the National Archives, she compiled a roster of all Granderson(s) and\/or Grandison(s) in the Civil War. Many documents are reproduced in full. These include pension declarations and claims, medical testaments, requests for increases in pensions, affidavits, marriage records, widow's pension documents and more. Mr. Grandison had some trouble proving his date of birth, because birth records of slaves were not kept on the plantation where he was born. This made it difficult for him to apply for his pension.

This classic and comprehensive study examines the catalysts, personalities, places, battles and consequences of Pontiac's War. In his unique narrative style, Parkman describes the various tribes, the effect of the advance of French and English colonization, the interrelationships and rivalries, the wilderness environment, the attacks on Detroit and Michilimackinac, Bradstreet's army on the lakes, the battle of Bushy Run, and the death of Pontiac. Several appendices add interest to the narrative, including Robert Rogers' play, \"Ponteach.\" Reprinted from the attractive \"Frontenac Edition\" which appeared nineteen years after the first edition, this landmark two-volume set incorporates material that was found in the intervening period, the most interesting of which were the important Bouquet and Haldimand Papers. These papers contained hundreds of letters from officers engaged in Pontiac's War, and among the startling facts which they bring to light are the proposal of the Commander-in-Chief to infect the hostile tribes with smallpox, and that of a distinguished subordinate officer to take revenge on the Indians by permitting an unrestricted sale of rum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancis Parkman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1901, 2003), 2012, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 2 volumes, 940 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788423093\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-P2309\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":672015646736,"sku":"101-P2309","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-p2309v1.png?v=1755283659"},{"product_id":"101-w1894","title":"Civil War Veterans in the 20th Century: Extracted from the \"Elizabeth Daily Journal\", Elizabeth, New Jersey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about those who fought the Civil War.

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.

A native of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, Darby served for the duration of the Civil War and was promoted through the ranks from private to sergeant. He endured the hardships of many battles and skirmishes, was severely wounded at the Second Bull Run and was imprisoned by the Confederates at Belle Isle and Libby. Despite his rudimentary formal education, Darby wrote with powerful verbosity. A number of his Civil War poems are included in this book as well as a retrospective in which he attempted to bring some closure to his wartime experiences. He began his memoirs in 1861 and his narrative carries the reader through to 1865. Three appendices are included: a chronology of events for the 37th Volunteers, 1861-1864; a chronology for the 191st Pennsylvania Infantry, 1864-1865 (Darby joined this unit as a Veteran Volunteer); and the account of Private C.

Throughout its two-hundred-year history, the area has served as an arsenal, penitentiary, Artillery Post, U.S. Army Engineer School, Selective Service records repository, U.S. Army Band School, Military Police School, and is presently the home of the National Defense University, the Inter-American Defense College, and Headquarters of the Military District of Washington. The British suffered their worst loss here in 1814 when the Washington Arsenal powder magazine accidentally blew up. An 1831 building has been preserved where the Lincoln conspirators were tried and hanged in the courtyard. The 1838 Ordnance Departments' Model Museum is now used as living quarters, and the 1893 Army General Hospital is unchanged since Walter Reed (discoverer of the cure for yellow fever) died there following an appendectomy. The historic Army War College with its hundred-foot vaulted rotunda of Guastavino tile and terrazzo flooring is a Federal landmark. Approximately forty vintage photographs from the N.D.U., Walter Reed Army Hospital, and the Engineer Historical Office show Fort McNair in its various roles over the years. Ghosts of yesteryear abound; if you stand quietly, you can imagine the faint echo of bugle calls sounding across the parade ground, and believe that the bastion still serves as a sentinel protecting the nation's capital.

This parcel of land was used as a foraging area for the residents of Springfield until 1685, when it was decided by town meeting to divide the land into lots to be assigned to a group of 125 proprietors. Wilbraham was established in 1763. Like all New England colonial towns, Wilbraham (and its neighbor Hampden) was often called upon to provide soldiers when the safety of the colony was threatened. Despite its small population Wilbraham provided a steady supply of militia and bounty men through Queen Anne's War, King George's War, the French and Indian War, the Revolution, Shay's Rebellion and the War of 1812. The military records of all Wilbraham and Hampden men known to have served in these conflicts are presented here with additional biographical and genealogical information gleaned from Massachusetts Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors, 1775-1782, early town and family histories, muster rolls, burial records and tombstone inscriptions. Rolls of soldiers (found in the extensive appendices) are preceded by a historical sketch listing all alarms issued in the state of Massachusetts between 1774 and 1783 and Wilbraham men who participated in the Crown Point Expedition of 1755, the Lake George Campaign (1755), the Baron Dieskau Battle (1755) and the Crown Point Expedition of 1759.

Documented sources include microfilm newspaper accounts, the Official Records, pension records, original letters and other printed matter. Cotter's Battery follows the local artillery battery of Captain Charles S. Cotter, an interesting character from Ravenna, Ohio. Active prior to the war, Cotter's Battery became the nucleus for Battery A, 1st Ohio Light Artillery. Since Battery A was oriented toward Portage County, a primary newspaper source for information regarding that unit was the \u003cem\u003ePortage County Democrat\u003c\/em\u003e. The \u003cem\u003eDemocrat\u003c\/em\u003e readily extolled the exploits of its hometown hero, Captain Cotter, and the newspaper frequently published the uncensored letters from Battery A's soldiers. These letters were a great news source for the folks back home. Although at times the letters contained inaccurate information and reported what seem to be trivial incidents to the reader, they still have importance because they contain the soldier's thoughts and feelings and what they saw and heard, even if the latter may have been campfire rumors at times. The \u003cem\u003eDemocrat\u003c\/em\u003e was also concerned with the letters from the 7th Ohio infantry, the 6th Ohio cavalry, and other units, all of which contained many of the local volunteers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard J.

Then the Battle of Bull Run changed the fate of the Corps: the Union defeat in that battle on July 21st meant that the Union Army needed reinforcements badly, and the men who had sworn to protect their state now were needed to fight for their country. The next day, over 15,000 men of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps joined the forces of the Army of the Potomac. This work chronicles the development of the war and the role of the Pennsylvania men who fought for the Union. The evolution of battles, such as the second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg, are traced, and sketches of the men who participated (whether by planning strategy or fighting on the battlefield) provide insight into the men who fought. One-quarter of the book is dedicated to regimental rolls and individual records, which provide valuable information about individual soldiers. The regimental information provided by the rolls includes who commanded the regiment and its companies, the date the regiment entered into service, and the date it was mustered out of service. The members of the regiment are listed by last name, and a helpful key indicates not only when a soldier was promoted, discharged, reenlisted, wounded, or killed, among other things, but also the battle in which it occurred, if known. The index references the full names of people found in the text, and surnames of those listed in the muster rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ. R.

This change of hands was followed by a flood of new English settlers eager to take advantage of fresh farm land and hunting grounds. The Indian tribes inhabiting these lands found themselves displaced by the new settlers, who, unlike the French before them, were unwilling to share the land. Pontiac, sachem of the Ottawa, resolved to resist the incursion and in doing so united all the Indian nations who had been in the French interest against the English. Known as Pontiac's Conspiracy, this bloody Indian uprising overran and captured nine frontier forts in fifteen days and nearly usurped English control in the Ohio Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection of Colonial newspaper abstracts allows the reader to experience the drama and uncertainty of Pontiac's Conspiracy just as it was experienced by the Colonials who lived through it. These articles offer eye-witness accounts of soldiers and civilians massacred, houses and fortifications burned and English settlers fleeing east with only the clothes on their backs. Readers may ponder the enormous amount of preparation needed, and the myriad hazards encountered by troops dispatched on military expeditions into the frontier. The events described here occurred nearly a century before the practical application of the telegraph, and belated newspaper articles such as these were the only means by which the public could be kept informed of the depredations and disasters taking place all along the Ohio. It is easy to imagine the eagerness of Easterners awaiting their weekly papers and the latest news from the West, after skimming even a few pages of this text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the sixth volume of abstracts compiled by Armand F.
