Histories of war are always attractive and fascinating to the human mind. With all its horror^ and ravages, it ever appeals to the admiration and sympathetic emotion of mankind. ^ No war which covered a period of four years ever witnessed so many battles or was marked by such tremendous mortality as was that between the States. The seven hundred thousand men who fell in that gigantic struggle attest the terrible determination of the combatants on either side. The war lasted i ,530 days, and five hundred men died on every day of this lengthened period. These were the offerings North and South tendered in the conflict for that which they deemed right. It required one-third of a century for the men who participated in the war to settle the questions its political calamities presented, and then there came up from the South the demand that the true history of the great conflict should be written. The story of what the soldiers on both sides did must ever be full of interest and pathos. Such a tre­ mendous tragedy could only find a full report in countless pages of print, and the recitals of those who participated in such awful scenes will ever awake keenest interest with the American people. No war ever developed so much in the three branchs of army organization. The rapid movements of artillery, the tedious marches and unparalleled mortality of the infantry «ind the long and successful raids of the cav­ alry in either army, will ever attract the attention of military students and find eager study in men of every calling. Cavalry in this conflict performed niore arduous service and ac­ complished greater results than had ever marked its use in any pre­ vious war. The raids of Morgan, Forrest, Stuart, Wheeler and Hamp­ ton in fierceness of battle and demands of endurance on protracted marches, were something new in the history of this department, and the introduction by General Morgan of the system by which cavalry were dismounted and fought as infantry, created a new field for this arm of the service, and at once arrested the examination and study of military men in all parts of the world. Stuart died in May, 1864; Morgan followed him in September of the same year. These men had exemplified all that was gallant and glorious in war and met a soldier's fate with noblest courage and resig­ nation. Both had great opportunities and both improved their oppor­ tunities with grim determination and unfaltering zeal. To Nathan Bedford Forrest, fate dealt a kindlier measure. This imtutored soldier—all things considered, and, judged by his opportuni­ ties, the greatest cavalry soldier the war produced—was yet to achieve his most magnificent victories and stamp his name in brilliant colors upon the pages of history. Between the death of Stuart, in May, 1864, and Morgan, in Sep­ tember, 1864, Forrest fought and won the greatest purely cavalry vic­ tory of the war—or the world^Brice's Cross-Roads. In this battle Kentuckians were to play a distinguished and valor­ ous part. The Kentucky brigade, under Lyon, was composed of men who had come through the fiercest of military experiences and who from the inception of hostilities in 1861 had Seen educated by the most strenuous privations to the dangers and horrors of war. Three of the regiments, the Third, Seventh and Eighth Infantry, ^ere not mounted until March, 1864. They had eagerly sought to serve as cavalry and when the longings of years were gratified and they be­ came horsemen rather than footmen, they believed they had reached a military Utopia and were henceforth to enter a soldier's earthly para­ dise. In grateful recognition of the kindness bestowed upon them in this long-sought cliance, they felt a new enthusiasm in danger and a quickened zeal in behalf of the Southern cause, for which they had made such protracted and such willing sacrifice. To these three regiments of newly-mounted men was added the Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry, a command that had been drilled, trained and seasoned for military service for nearly two years, and who in many sharp conflicts had demonstrated that in all that made great cav­ alry, they had few equals and no superiors. This brigade was placed under General A. Buford, a man of gVeat courage and soldiery genius. He had behind him an array of magnifi­ cent lieutenants—Lyon, Crossland, Hale, Tyler, Tompson, Shacklette, Faulkner and other Kentuckians, and who did a full share in giving to General Forrest the splendid fame and renown he both won and deserved as a very, very great cavalry leader. Waiving the numerous engagements in which the Forrest Ken­ tucky brigade took part, two battles must ever stand out as the places in which it demonstrated its courage and steadiness under fire and its calmness and power in close range fighting. At Brice's Cross-Roads the Kentucky brigade, under Lyon, acquitted itself sp superbly that impartialhistory must assign them in the defeat of the Federal cavalry in the first half of the battle, the chiefest and hig:hest renown. Outnumbered and under the rays of a burning sun that was almost suffocating through a dense black-jack thicket, they faced their enemies, and, relying largely upon their ever-trusted revolvers, drove them in confusion from the field. Conditions considered, no men ever acquitted themselves more brilliantly or successfully, and no cavalry conflict in a war marked by the highest cavalry achievements of the world, was carried on more gallantly or crowned with more glorious victory than came to these Kentucky men at Brice's Cross-Roads. When the, days of the Confederacy began to be darkened by great adversity, the genius of Forrest shone with intensest brilliance, and in these varying experiences, overcoming all difficulties, he added new lustre to his own and the Confederate name. Great as were the achievements at Brice's Cross-Roads, thirty-five days later at Harrisburg, Miss., a crowning sorrow was to mark the career of the Forrest Kentucky brigade. It is needless now to argue why it came and who was responsible for it. Divided authority, dif­ fering judgments, a lack of confidence and zeal, was marked by a disastrous defeat, and the greatest decimation attached to the Ken­ tucky brigade. They faced disaster with courage, they undertook a hopeless task with intrepidity, and though shattered and torn, they met the demand of an evil hour with a valor that added new radiance to their fame. Little is known by Confederates at large of the heroism of these Kentuckians who served under General Forrest.

    College ILttirarjj FROM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ' THROUGH £> VICKSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK COMMISSION. RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

  • Souvenir, the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment [Electronic Resource]: a History from Its Organization to the End of the War, Giving
    SOUVENIR THE SEVENTEENTH INDIANA REGIMENT. a history from its organization to the end of the war Giving Description of Battles, Etc. also LIST OF THE SURVIVORS; THEIR NAMES; AGES? COMPANY, AND F\ O. ADDRESS. AND INTERESTING LETTERS FROM COMRADES WHO WERE NOT PRESENT AT THE REGIMENTAL REUNIONS PREAMBLE. We are rapidly approaching the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most important battles of the great Civil War of 1861 to 1865. A large majority of its survivors have answered to their last roll call. On September 18 to 20, 1863, was fought the great battle of Ohicka- mauga, in which the Seventeenth Indiana, in connection with Wilder's Lightning Brigade of mounted infantry took an important part. In many respects Chickamauga was the fiercest conflict of all those that took place between the National and Confederate forces. Ere long the last survivor of that great conflict shall have passed away. On that account the author hereof, with the sanction of our beloved com- manders, General J. T. Wilder and others of the Seventeenth Regiment, de- cided to publish this souvenir volume, and he sincerely trusts that his efforts in its composition will be appreciated by the comrades, their families and friends. < At the last meeting of the regimental association, which was held in the city of Anderson, on September 16 and 17, on adjournment it was de- cided, upon request of General Wilder, that our next reunion should be held at the same time and place of the Wilder's Brigade reunion. Since that time the writer hereof has been officially informed that that association, at its meeting at Mattoon, Illinois, decided to hold the next reunion of the brigade at Chattanooga and Chickamauga on September 17 to 20, 1913: hence it is the earnest wish of the author to have the books completed and ready for distribution to the comrades at that time and place.

  • Arkansas Moves Toward Secession and War
    RICE UNIVERSITY WITH HESITANT RESOLVE: ARKANSAS MOVES TOWARD SECESSION AND WAR BY JAMES WOODS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS Dr.. Frank E. Vandiver Houston, Texas ABSTRACT This work surveys the history of ante-bellum Arkansas until the passage of the Ordinance of Secession on May 6, 186i. The first three chapters deal with the social, economic, and politicai development of the state prior to 1860. Arkansas experienced difficult, yet substantial .social and economic growth during the ame-belium era; its percentage of population increase outstripped five other frontier states in similar stages of development. Its growth was nevertheless hampered by the unsettling presence of the Indian territory on its western border, which helped to prolong a lawless stage. An unreliable transportation system and a ruinous banking policy also stalled Arkansas's economic progress. On the political scene a family dynasty controlled state politics from 1830 to 186u, a'situation without parallel throughout the ante-bellum South. A major part of this work concentrates upon Arkansas's politics from 1859 to 1861. In a most important siate election in 1860, the dynasty met defeat through an open revolt from within its ranks led by a shrewd and ambitious Congressman, Thomas Hindman. Hindman turned the contest into a class conflict, portraying the dynasty's leadership as "aristocrats" and "Bourbons." Because of Hindman's support, Arkansans chose its first governor not hand¬ picked by the dynasty. By this election the people handed gubernatorial power to an ineffectual political novice during a time oi great sectional crisis.
