Sumter, Jefferson Davis called for volunteers for the Confederate Army. So many men responded that thousands had to be turned away. Their zeal was not for the cause of states' rights or slavery. Most southern men saw the war more simply as a test of their manhood, a chance to defend the honor of their sweethearts, fiances, and wives back home. Drawing upon diaries and such, Berry seamlessly weaves together the stories of six very different men, detailing the tangled roles that love and ambition played in each man's life.. more information

Benj. F. Terry, who fell at the battle of Woodsonville. In over 200 battles they gave credence to General John B. Hood's remark that there was "no body of cavalry superior.

Union veterans remember this brave Pennsylvanian as a general who led from the front and whose forceful presence could change the course of a battle. A senior officer of the Eleventh Corps described how Hancock influenced the defeated Northern troops at the end of the first day's fighting at Gettysburg. "His mere presence was a reinforcement, "this witness reported, "and everybody on the field felt stronger for his being there." In addition to the Civil War, Hancock's military service included memorable experience during the Mexican-American War, Reconstruction, and the Indian Wars. He also pursued a political career, which ended in an unsuccessful try for the presidency in 1880.. more information

Promoted to Brigadier General in 1864, he was accidentally shot and blinded by one of his own men. His memoir was first published in 1904 and was selected by John H. Jenkins III as one of the basic Texas books. One of his men wrote of him: "Paladin of old was not more daring and heroic than this Southern knight on the field of battle. No man in the Southern army, no matter how high his rank, displayed more military skills. . . . He was literally the 'Swamp Fox' of Kentucky. ". more information

Mcwhiney Foundation Press. New/New. 2003. Hardcover. ISBN: 1893114368. Brand New in publisher's shrinkwrap.; Small 4to 9"- 11"; Even though he defeated Robert E. Lee in the Civil War's greatest battle, George Gordon Meade has never enjoyed a prominent place in the pantheon of Union war heroes. To most students of the Civil War, he is merely the man who was lucky enough to benefit from Confederate mistakes at Gettysburg, but whose shortcomings as a commander compelled Abraham Lincoln to bring in Ulysses S. Grant from the West to achieve victory. In this, the first book-length study of the general to appear in a generation, Ethan S. Rafuse challenges the notion that Meade was simply the last in a long line of failed Union commanders in the East. Instead, George Gordon Meade and the War in the East offers a balanced, informative, and complete, yet concise, reconsideration of the general's life and career. It also provides keen analysis of the military and political factors that shaped operations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and delineates the sources of tension between Washington and the Army of the Potomac high command that played such an important role in shaping the war in the Eastern Theater. This study will appeal to anyone with an interest in Meade and the politics of command in the Civil War, and encourage reconsideration of traditional interpretations of the Union war effort in the East.. more information
