  • “Gone for a Soldier”: the Civil War Letters of Charles Harding Cox Contributed by Mrs
    “Gone for a Soldier”: The Civil War Letters of Charles Harding Cox Contributed by Mrs. Caroline Cox Wyatt* Edited by Lorna Lutes Sylvester In January, 1864, Charles Harding Cox wrote his sister in Indianapolis, Indiana : “Was it patriotism, belligerant spirit, or tired of home that induced me to enlist. I am sure it was not the last and for the life of me can not think why I came for a ‘sojer’.’’ Such a statement was unusual for Cox whose exhuberance and enthusiasm carried him through almost three years of service in the Seventieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War, and a few lines later he reassured his sister: “Katie! I was a fool for writing the above and did not think while writing it . You must not think I am having a rough time, as no soldiers have ever seen a more easy and pleasant time than the Seventieth Indiana . .” Cox had thoroughly enjoyed his first eighteen months in the army. From August, 1862, to January, 1864, most of his time had been spent guarding trains and performing picket duty near Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Gallatin, Murfreesboro, and Nashville, Tennes- see? He had frequently received “bids” to dances and parties and thought southern girls “far more agreeable and sociable than those at home.” Yet, as Cox warned his sister, the Seventieth Indiana in January, 1864, had been assigned to a new corps “in the extreme front” and the real “tug of war” was to come. As part of the First Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Army Corps the Seventieth Indiana participated in the Atlanta campaign and Major General William T.

  • Thirty Years After: American Vietnam War Literature
    Rosso­Manoa­Nov. 2005­p. 1 Thirty Years After: American Vietnam War Literature in Italian Stefano Rosso (University of Bergamo) [email protected] (23.000 bytes, including notes and bibliography) It is well known that the American War in Vietnam had a great impact in Europe from 1966 up to the American withdrawal and the fall of Saigon. The Vietnam War triggered off an unprecedented anti­imperialist political awareness in Italy, too. Several books and essays on history and politics –some translated from English and French– 1 came out between the mid sixties and the early seventies and were the most important references on imperialism until the coup d’état against Salvador Allende and Chile’s legitimate government aided by the CIA in 1973. Seminars on the Vietnam War became frequent in schools and universities; newspapers and journals, not necessarily left­oriented, continued publishing articles critical of American intervention. The slogan “Yankees Go Home!”, chanted during the major Italian anti­imperialist mass demonstrations, came to mean only one thing: “Americans Get Out of Vietnam!” 2 In the publishing world, the so­called “Sessantotto”, the 1968 protest movement, was also characterized by the end of the “editori protagonisti” (protagonist publishers), such as Mondadori, Einaudi, Garzanti and, later, Feltrinelli, that is, the end of a long period – from the 1930s to the 1960s – dominated by a few publishers with a strong, articulated and recognizable cultural project involving intellectuals and thinkers. The late sixties saw, on the one hand, the birth of several small and very small publishers, and on the other, a strong process of concentration among the major companies.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

  • I Could Tell You a Thousand Stories of Their Heroism…”1
    “I Could Tell You a Thousand Stories of Their Heroism…”1 Voices of the Gettysburg Campaign and the First Day of Battle Eric A. Campbell These letters were written when we were very young, but they breathe forth but one spirit, that of patriotic devotion to the cause in which we were engaged, under an ever-crushing pressure of danger, exposure, hardship, toil, and privation, unequalled or unsurpassed in the history of any country, and certainly worthy of preservation and recital for many generations to come.2 Robert G. Carter wrote these words 48 years after his service with the 22nd Massachusetts ended, in attempting to describe the importance of his and his brothers’ wartime letters in completing his masterful classic, Four Brothers in Blue. Of all of the information available to the modern Civil War historian, the soldiers’ letters, diaries, and other wartime writings are by far the most valuable. Ironically, they are often the most overlooked sources. Why these writings have been underutilized will be discussed in more detail later. The intention of this paper, however, is to tell the story of the Gettysburg campaign and the first day of the battle (July 1, 1863) through the wartime writings created by both Union and Confederate soldiers. The reasons for taking this approach also help to explain the vast importance of these letters. Primarily, these writings contain the words of the soldiers themselves, who were not just eyewitnesses, but also participants in the events which they described. Being created during or just after the Gettysburg campaign, these letters, preserving the original spellings and grammar, create a tangible sense of immediacy unmatched by post-war writings.
