Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1864, in the mountains of southwest Virginia, one of the most brutal acts of the Civil War occurs. Brig. Gen. Stephen Burbridge launches a raid to capture Saltville. Included among his forces is the 5th U.S. Colored Cavalry. Repeated Federal attacks are repulsed by Confederate forces under the command of Gen. John S. Williams. As the sun begins to set, Burbridge pulls his troops from the field, leaving many wounded. In the morning, Confederate troops, including a company of ruffians under the command of Captain Champ Ferguson, advance over the battleground seeking out and killing the wounded black soldiers. What starts as a small but intense mountain battle degenerates into a no-quarter, racial massacre. A detailed account from eyewitness reports of the most blatant battlefield atrocity of the war.

Book excerpt: Saltville, Virginia, lies on the banks of the North Fork of the Holston River on the border between Smyth and Washington Counties. Its history began very long ago; in fact, archeological evidence suggests extensive human habitation there for more than 14,000 years. Saltville was named because it was a source of salt, -and by the end of the 18th century, a thriving industry was born. During the Civil War, Saltville attained considerable importance to the Confederate government as a supply of salt. A large Confederate army garrison was maintained there, and extensive fortifications were constructed. After the Civil War, the town led the way in industrialization of the South. Flip through the pages of Images of America: Saltville to learn why Saltville is one of the most historic places in the world.

Download or read book Washington County, Virginia, in the Civil War written by Michael K. Shaffer and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The citizens of Washington County, Virginia gave up their sons and daughters to the Confederate cause of the Civil War. Contributing six Confederate generals as well as Union officers, the region is emblematic of communities throughout the nation that sacrificed during the war. Though the sounds of cannon fire and gunshots were only heard at a distance, Washington County was the breadbasket for Confederate armies. From the fields surrounding Abingdon to the coveted salt works in Saltville, Union Generals were constantly eyeing the region, resulting in the Saltville Massacre and the burning of Abingdon's famous courthouse. Historian Michael Shaffer gives a detailed narrative of Washington County during the Civil War, painting vivid images of heroism on and off the battlefield.

Download or read book Appalachian Rebels written by Richard G. Brown and published by McI Pub. This book was released on 2008-10-03 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appalachian Rebels chronicles the struggles of the 5th Kentucky Infantry and 10th Kentucky Mounted during the War Between the States. From the beginning to the end, each skirmish/battle flows in a sequential manner into the next. The authors have endeavored to offer rediscovered documents (such as a letter from PVT Brashears and the Defeated Creek Diary) that have not been released until now. The goals of the authors are to offer to the reader a sequence of action that depicts the engagements, as well as the hardships endured by the brave men of Appalachia. They were not a rabble band of bushwhackers but a well-trained army committed to the cause. They remained steadfast to the last. This is their story, retold after lying dormant since 1865.
