Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a newly-minted 2nd lieutenant in the Union Army, Lem Abbott was tossed head-first into General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign. He saw action in all the major battles of that campaign and was severely injured while with Sheridan at the Battle of Opequon (Third Battle of Winchester).Abbott kept a diary during his time in the American Civil War and his descriptions are vivid and compelling. As he lay wounded at Opequon, he nevertheless could not take his eyes of the frenetic Sheridan, commanding the field like a chess player while mounted on Rienzi, his black steed."My first wound was from the butt end of an exploding shell in the breast which maimed and knocked me down and simultaneously as I felt a minie ball fired but a rod away in my front just grazed my forehead, torn through my upper lip crushing both jaws and carrying away eleven teeth, the most painless dentistry I ever had done; but, Oh! the shock it gave my system and the misery I suffered that night!"Despite his wounds, he returned to service and remained with the Federal Army until Appomattox. He then made a career in the army until mustered out in 1883 due to complications from his Civil War wounds.Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it, and this is one of the best.

Book excerpt: With Union troops literally in their backyard, two southern women of privilege recorded in their diaries the fall of the south in the last months of the American Civil War. "How much some people have suffered." Unable to see the suffering their southern culture has wrought for more than two centuries, the women seem only aware of the loss of those whose privilege was built on the bondage of others. Essential to the owning of a human being is the inability to see them as a human being. As Union "colored" troops are among the soldiers marching through their land, the women are terrified of what they may do or what they will stir up in the slaves that remain on plantations. They write of the "impudence" of some of their remaining slaves, as if a lifetime of bondage should not have been expected to embitter them and leave them with little politeness for their masters. This edition is abridged and annotated. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now unclear why Phil Koempel's diary was subtitled "1861-1865" when it was first published, as the extant manuscript contains only his last year of service in the American Civil War starting with his re-enlistment in 1864. However, this last year of service was full of action and sacrifice.He was an early enlistee upon the outbreak of war, was at the first battle of Bull Run, served with Fremont, Sheridan, Pope, and was with Grant at Appomattox.Captured in June of 1864, he spent many months in the hellish Andersonville Confederate prison camp. Sick and nearly starved to death, he maintained his diary until he was paroled back to Union lines, recovered his health, and went with Grant's troops to the surrender of Lee's army.The great value in Koempel's diary is it's day-to-day details. He even has price lists for the meager goods available at Andersonville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
