    Book Otice: Kentucky Soldiers and Their Regiments in the Civil War

    Book otice: Kentucky Soldiers and Their Regiments in the Civil War Abstracted from the Pages of Contemporary ewspapers Written by Dan Reigle for the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal , Vol. XIV (2010), No. 3. Five volumes, each covering one year of the 1861-1865 period. Steven L. Wright. Utica KY: McDowell Publications. Copyright by author, 2009. (Ordering information is at the end of this notice.) Thanks to Don Rightmyer, editor of Kentucky Ancestors , for making us aware of this new resource. In the Winter 2010 issue of Kentucky Ancestors , Don used the word “monumental” to describe this newly-published set of books, stating that they make “a tremendous contribution to the published history of the experiences of Kentucky men during the Civil War.” I agree, having used the books immediately after receiving them to annotate Darrell Helton’s submission of documents on the engagements at Cotton Hill, south of Charleston WV in November 1861. We all know the unique value of newspaper research in our Civil War research and our genealogical research , and we also know how painfully difficult it can be to locate relevant newspapers and then to find in them the information we need. Mr. Wright has done a lot of heavy lifting for us. His objective was clearly stated in the Preface to the first volume: “This work is not about the big battles, although there is generally enough reference information to find the reports and narratives peppered through various issues of the newspapers from their correspondents. I have attempted to provide an adequate amount of abstracted information to allow researchers to follow up on their own interests, or simply to see a simplified version of events as they happened.

They joined mother’s associations, temperance groups, aboli - tionist societies, and woman suffrage organizations. Although the Civil War did not create activists, it did strengthen them, while opening the door for other women to become activists. The war provided an unprece - dented opportunity for the women of Maine to be actors in the public sphere. Postwar women’s movements in Maine were therefore fueled by their agency on the home front during the war.

    History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric

    Andrei A. Znamenski, Memphis/USA History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric Guys, stop your speculations and read books. One of my re­ cent discoveries is Kremlev. Here is a real history of Russia. One reads his books and wants to beat a head against a wall from the realization of how much we lost due to corruption, treason and the stupidity of our rulers – tsars, general secret­ aries and presidents. What wonderful opportunities we had in the past and how much we have lost!1 A nationalist blogger about the ultra-patriotic popular his­ tory “Russian America: Discovered and Sold” (2005) by Sergei Kremlev In Russian-American relations, Alaska is doomed to remain a literary-political metaphor – some sort of a stylistic figure of speech whose original meaning faded away being re­ placed with an imagined one.2 Writer Vladimir Rokot (2007) On the afternoon of October 18, 1867, a Siberian Line Battalion and a detachment of the US Ninth Infantry faced each other on a central plaza of New Archangel (Figure 1), the capital of Russian America, prepared for the official ceremony of lowering the Russian flag and of raising the Stars and Stripes. This act was to finalize the transfer of Alaska (Figure 2) from Russia to the United States, which bought the territory for $ 7.2 million. At 4 PM, Captain Aleksei Peshchurov gave orders to lower the Russian flag. After this, Brigadier General Lovell Rousseau, a representative of the US Government, ordered the American flag to be raised. Salutes were fired. This ceremony ended a brief seventy-year presence of the Russian Empire in northwestern North America.3 Driven by short-term strategic goals, Russian emperor Alexander II decided to get rid of his overseas posses­ sion, which represented 6 per cent of the Russian Empire territory.

    Josiah Bushnell Grinnell: Radical Abolitionist Through and Through Will Hamilton Class of 2017 Content Warning: This essay includes direct quotes from historical sources and transcripts which use derogatory racial epithets.

    The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780 Image Courtesy of National Park Planner at www.npplan.com © 2015 – J.D. Lewis www.carolana.com Note #1 Most who study the Battle of Kings Mountain are certainly aware that the Patriot leaders made a smart choice in leaving the “infantry” behind, and for only “able horsemen” to ride on. What they intuitively “know” – but seem to fail to thoroughly “embrace” is: Almost all “officers” had good horses. Therefore…. Many Patriot “Captains” had few men, sometimes no men, under their command during the actual battle at Kings Mountain. Most historians refuse to accept that at this important event, there were almost more Patriot officers engaged than militiamen, and that this is significant. Majors led as few as two (2) Captains, and many who had no men, or only one to five. It was rare, but some Captains did have more than ten men. Few had their original companies at full strength. It will soon be shown that the companies averaged only 5 men. 2 Note #2 Although the British seized Charlestown and many officers, and they once again devastated both the SC and NC militia at the Battle of Camden, the Patriots constantly kept rebuilding their militia in both states, and they retained their “semblance of order” by continuing the well-known “regiments” and recognized the leaders of all established militia units. Leaders of these well-established and well-known militia regiments agreed to “work with each other” for the common good of all. Ever since the start of the war, Captains attached themselves to other regiments when it was convenient.

    "Civil War Soldiers Recall Visiting Taneytown" Carroll County Times

    "Civil War Soldiers Recall Visiting Taneytown" Carroll County Times article for 17 August 1997 By Jay A. Graybeal During the Gettysburg Campaign, thousands of Union soldiers passed through Taneytown to and from the battle. Maj. Gen. George G. Meade arrived early on the morning of June 29th and established his field headquarters on the Benjamin Shunk farm near town. While there, he developed his Pipe Creek Line plan and began placing troops from Middleburg to Manchester. The III Corps commanded by Gen. Daniel E. Sickles arrived in Taneytown on 30 June 1863 and Gen. Winfield S. Hancock's II Corps passed through town on the following afternoon. Some of these soldiers later recalled their experiences in Taneytown on the eve of the battle and the following writings from published regimental histories provide an additional perspective on local life during the campaign. Gilbert A. Hays included a brief description his unit's visit in his history of the 63rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry: On the 29th our march was continued through Walkersville, Woodbury, Middlebury and Taneytown, and our reception in the various places as extremely enthusiastic. Ladies and young girls distributed beautiful bouquets to the officers and soldiers; groups of fair damsels bewitchingly posted in conspicuous places sang patriotic airs as the "boys in blue" passed by and the passage of troops being a novelty here, the citizens turned out en masse. Long after tattoo, groups of ladies and gentlemen promenaded through our camps, actuated by a curiosity to see how soldiers really lived in the tented field. A fellow Pennsylvanian, Frank Rauscher of the 114th Volunteer Infantry (Collis' Zouaves) recorded in his diary, June 29.-We broke camp at 6 a.m.

    “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3

    “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3 Timothy J. Orr On the morning of July 3, 1863, Corporal Eugene B. Kelleran, a soldier in Company I, 20th Maine Infantry, descended the slopes of Big Round Top, a rocky eminence where his regiment had spent the previous evening. Near dark on July 2, the fatigued Maine regiment scaled the wooded heights, drove off an enemy brigade, and took possession of the summit. As per standard procedure, the 20th Maine’s commander, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, deployed skirmishers to determine the layout of the Confederate line and to make certain that his regiment truly held the hill. Midway down the southwestern slope, Kelleran and his comrades collided with skirmishers from Colonel James Sheffield’s Alabama brigade. A short fight ensued, lasting only a few minutes. The Maine regiment lost Lieutenant Arad Linscott, who had seized an abandoned musket so he could get a shot at the gray-coats himself. A ball struck Linscott in the thigh, and he died several hours later at the Jacob Weikert farm.1 During this engagement, a Confederate skirmisher kneeling behind a rock took aim at Corporal Kelleran, who also lowered his own rifle and fired. Kelleran got off his shot, which passed through the Alabamian’s mouth and came out the back of his head. When the shooting subsided, Kelleran went to the blood-spattered boulder and noticed that the man’s hat had been left untouched by both the bullet and the resulting gore. Kelleran had long wanted a new hat, so he took this one from his fallen adversary.
