I have no great actions to boast of, but I will endeavor in my way, which is a way of my own, to write you some anecdotes, give you some ideas of how we fared, what we did, what we seen, and how we seen it. I do not propose to give you a history of the war, or a history of the prisoners in the South. I was a prisoner. -Erastus Holmes-

Download The Cavalry of the Army of the Ohio Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
At the outset of the Civil War, the cavalry of the Army of the Ohio (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee) was a fledgling force beginning an arduous journey that would make it the best cavalry in the world. In late 1862, most of this cavalry was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland and a second cavalry force emerged in the second Army of the Ohio. Throughout the war, these regiments fought in some of the most important military operations of the war, including Camp Wildcat; Mill Springs; the siege of Corinth; raids into East Tennessee; the capture of Morgan during his Great Raid; and the campaigns of Middle Tennessee, Perryville, Knoxville, Atlanta, and Nashville. This is their complete history.

Download Surviving Andersonville Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This is a documentary work offering a first-person account of a Union soldier's daily adversity while a prisoner of war from 20 September 1863 to 4 June 1865. In 1891, while a patient at the Leavenworth National Home, Irish immigrant Edward Glennan began to write down his experiences in vivid detail, describing the months of malnutrition, exposure, disease and self-doubt. The first six months Glennan was incarcerated at Libby and Danville prisons in Virginia. On 20 March 1864, Glennan entered Camp Sumter, located near Andersonville, Georgia. He reminisced about the events of his eight-month captivity at Andersonville, such as the hanging of the Raider Six, escape tunnels, gambling, trading, ration wagons, and disease. Afflicted with scurvy, Glennan nearly lost his ability to walk. To increase his chances for survival, he skillfully befriended other prisoners, sharing resources acquired through trade, theft and trickery. His friends left him either by parole or death. On 14 November 1864, Glennan was transported from Andersonville to Camp Parole in Maryland; there he remained until his discharge on 4 June 1865.

Download A Glimpse of Andersonville and Other Writings (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from A Glimpse of Andersonville and Other Writings Among those most likely to be in earnest in the matter was my Old friend H. I. Gorham, a corporal Of our company. I think we were each a little surprised at the audacity of our undertaking as we begun to formulate plans, and measure as near as we could the chances of success. Neither was dis posed to be rash, but each was willing to take an even chance with death in preference to the hospitality Of the Confederate authorities.

Download Hoosier Spies and Horse Marines Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This work traces the history of a remarkable troop of Hoosier horsemen--the East Wing of the Third Indiana Cavalry--during the Civil War. From the backwaters of the war in eastern Maryland to the epicenter of cavalry action in the eastern theater, they fought at Antietam, Brandy Station, Gettysburg and around Petersburg, and helped subdue Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley. Along the way they served as spies and fought in dozens of vicious skirmishes and battles. At Appomattox, they escorted one of the most famous generals to come out of the war.
