Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Kirby-Smith IN april, 1865, when the news of the surrender of General Lee reached a small town in New Jersey, 3 boy of ten years, who participated in the rejoicing with which the news was received, was prompted to ask if all the Confederate Generals had surrendered, and if the war were actually ended. He was informed that there were several general officers who had not surrendered, and among them was mentioned General kirby-smith. This name fixed itself upon the mind of the boy. Listening attentively to the discussions he heard among his elders at the time, he learned something more about the Confederate General, the oddity of whose name had the effect of making him a hero in the boy's mind. He learned that this Con federate General had been, since early in 1863, in su preme command of What was known as the Trans Mississippi Department of the Confederate Army; that the Department included Texas, Louisiana, Ar kansas and the Indian Territory; that he had organized a government there and had made that government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is meaty, succinct, well organized, and attractively written. It is a praiseworthy contribution to American biography and to Confederate history.” —Bell I. Wiley Here is the first critical biography of the Confederate general who commanded the largest theater of the Civil War, the Trans-Mississippi Department, and who held the same important command post longer than any other officer on either side. Edmund Kirby Smith, one of only seven full generals commanding Confederate armies in the field, exercised civil as well as Military authority in the isolated Trans-Mississippi area to such an extent that this part of the Confederacy came to be known as “Kirbysmithdom.” A native of St. Augustine, Florida, Kirby Smith was twice breveted for the bravery in the Mexican War. He spent the 1850s at various frontier posts and at the outbreak of the Civil war hurried to Confederate headquarters to offer his services. Soon he was a brigadier with Joseph E. Johnston in northern Virginia, and he is credited with playing a key role in the rout of the Union forces at first Manassas. In the spring of 1863 he assumed command of the vast Trans-Mississippi Department. At the fall of the Confederacy, Kirby Smith was the last general to surrender. He spent the final twenty years of his life as a teacher and died in Sewanee, Tennessee, in 1893, where he had been a professor at the University of the South. At the time of its origin publication in 1954, this book won the first Sydnor Memorial Award, given by the Southern Historical Association for the best book in southern history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of Gettysburg Firstly: It is a recognised maxim Of war that decisive results can never be Obtained by the main tenance Of a simple defensive. As the war went on, the people Of the Northern States showed a deter mination and constancy Of purpose, for which their opponents had not formerly given them credit, and it was now manifest that their resolution to compel the submission of the seceded States would never slacken, until their last dollar had been spent, and their last man put into the field. The wealth Of the North was boundless, her resources immense. In a contest Of endurance the South must inevitably be beaten. Her only chance lay in striking some staggering blow at her opponent, such as the capture Of Washington, or the destruction Of the Army Of the Potomac, which would convince the North that the struggle was hopeless, and would force her to come to terms. To achieve this result an Offensive campaign was necessary. Secondly While the recent events in Virginia had been uniformly favourable to the Southern arms, the situation in the Western theatre Of war was very gloomy. Vicksburg, the great Confederate fortress on the Mississippi, was closely besieged by the Federalforces under General Grant. Attempts to relieve it from the East by General Johnston and from the trans Mississippi States by Kirby Smith had failed, and it was now evident that unless a diversion could be made Vicksburg must fall. This might be effected by an invasion Of Maryland or Pennsylvania, so as to threaten Washington and Baltimore. Both Presi dent Davis and General Lee knew well how sensitive the Federal Cabinet was in regard to the safety Of the Capital, and a Confederate Victory on Northern soil would almost certainly force the President to draw large reinforcements from the Western armies, and so relieve the pressure on Vicksburg.

Villere and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of Certain Remarks Made by the President When Requested to Restore General Beauregard to the Command of Department No. 2 It was further suggested to the War department that, for the campaign, troops might be spared from Charleston, Savan nah; and Knoxville: and in consequence, a brigade was sent, after the battle of Shiloh, from Charleston, and several regi ments from Chattanooga by General Kirby Smith. Further, General Sidney Johnston, whose army was now falling back along the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, was requested by General Beauregard to send forward to Corinth one or two of his brigades. That judicious commander sent a brigade at once, and announced his determination to make a junction, with his whole force, at Corinth, which, in the main, was effected by the last of March, 1862. It will thus be seen under what circumstances, at whose instance, and by whose efforts the forces concentrated at Corinth by the 3d day of April, 1862, were mainly brought together at that point, namely: General Beauregard.

Download or read book Mockingbird Song written by Jack Temple Kirby and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American South is generally warmer, wetter, weedier, snakier, and more insect infested and disease prone than other regions of the country. It is alluring to the scientifically and poetically minded alike. With Mockingbird Song, Jack Temple Kirby offers a personal and passionate recounting of the centuries-old human-nature relationship in the South. Exhibiting violent cycles of growth, abandonment, dereliction, resettlement, and reconfiguration, this relationship, Kirby suggests, has the sometimes melodious, sometimes cacophonous vocalizations of the region's emblematic avian, the mockingbird. In a narrative voice marked by the intimacy and enthusiasm of a storyteller, Kirby explores all of the South's peoples and their landscapes--how humans have used, yielded, or manipulated varying environments and how they have treated forests, water, and animals. Citing history, literature, and cinematic portrayals along the way, Kirby also relates how southerners have thought about their part of Earth--as a source of both sustenance and delight.
