"This narrative of Colonel Livermore's war experience was commenced immediately after the conclusion of the Civil War, while its events were still fresh in his mind. Though often urged by the members of his family to publish the work, he always declined, giving as his reason that the events related were often so personal in their nature that they could better be published after his death ... If the author's style, at times, may seem unfinished, it must be remembered that he was but twenty-two years of age at the commencement of the work"--Foreword.

Excerpt from Days and Events: 1860-1866 This narrative of Colonel Livermore's war experience was commenced immediately after the conclusion of the Civil War, while its events were still fresh in his mind. Though often urged by the members of his family to publish the work, he always declined, giving as his reason that the events related were often so personal in their nature that they could better be published after his death. His children have pardonably found interesting the narrative of his experience as well as his comments on persons and events. Accordingly, in the hope that the author's living friends and acquaintances, as well as those who, though not having known him, are interested generally in the Civil War, may find the text profitable, this book is offered to the public, without alteration, and substantially without omission. If the author's style, at times, may seem unfinished, it must be remembered that he was but twenty-two years of age at the commencement of the work. Through the courtesy of the Military Historical Society, of which Colonel Livermore was for many years the president, the book is published under the seal of the Society.

Like many men of his generation, Tom Livermore left college, "stretched" his age, and enlisted as a private, June 24, 1861...he was only 17. By the end of the American Civil War, he was a 21-year-old colonel with no trade but war.The wounds of war seemed too close and personal to publish during his lifetime, but he HAD to write them down. Starting in 1867, the still-young Livermore penned an exciting, detailed, and valuable memoir of his time with the 18th New Hampshire Volunteers in the Civil War. It was left to his children to publish this narrative and leave a welcome addition to the canon of Civil War literature.At Gettysburg, Malvern Hill, and other important battles, Livermore led men and rose in rank, getting wounded in the course of events. His memoir is full of good humor:"I was so vexed with pain that I swore at a Frenchman in my company roundly for being out of his place, and then commenced behaving myself."Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Download Emilie Davis’s Civil War Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Emilie Davis was a free African American woman who lived in Philadelphia during the Civil War. She worked as a seamstress, attended the Institute for Colored Youth, and was an active member of her community. She lived an average life in her day, but what sets her apart is that she kept a diary. Her daily entries from 1863 to 1865 touch on the momentous and the mundane: she discusses her own and her community’s reactions to events of the war, such as the Battle of Gettysburg, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the assassination of President Lincoln, as well as the minutiae of social life in Philadelphia’s black community. Her diaries allow the reader to experience the Civil War in “real time” and are a counterpoint to more widely known diaries of the period. Judith Giesberg has written an accessible introduction, situating Davis and her diaries within the historical, cultural, and political context of wartime Philadelphia. In addition to furnishing a new window through which to view the war’s major events, Davis’s diaries give us a rare look at how the war was experienced as a part of everyday life—how its dramatic turns and lulls and its pervasive, agonizing uncertainty affected a northern city with a vibrant black community.

Download The Fifth Massachusetts Colored Cavalry in the Civil War Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In January 1863, a long-anticipated military order arrived on the desk of Massachusetts Governor John Andrew. President Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, had granted the governor authority to raise regiments of black soldiers. Two units--the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry--were soon mustered and in December, Andrew issued General Order No. 44, announcing "a Regiment of Cavalry Volunteers, to be composed of men of color...is now in the process of recruitment in the Commonwealth." Drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs and official reports, this book provides the first full-length regimental history of the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry--its organization, participation in the Petersburg campaign and the guarding of prisoners at Point Lookout, Maryland, and its triumphant ride into Richmond. Accounts of the postwar lives of many of the men are included.
