Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I Rode with Stonewall by Henry Kyd Douglas Henry Kyd Douglas Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I Rode With Stonewall by Henry Kyd Douglas Henry Kyd Douglas. Henry Kyd Douglas was born in Shepherdstown, Virginia, now West Virginia, on September 29, 1838. An 1859 graduate of Franklin and Marshall College of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Douglas went on to study law in Lexington, Virginia, entering the bar in 1860. When Virginia seceded from the Union in April, 1861 Douglas returned to his family home at Ferry Hill Place in Sharpsburg, Maryland. He soon enlisted at Harpers Ferry as a private in the Confederate Army's 2nd Virginia infantry; one of the units in what would come to be known as the famous "Stonewall" Brigade. Rising quickly through the ranks, Douglas was appointed to the staff of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson by the spring of 1862. During the Maryland Campaign, Douglas served alongside General Jackson, lending support during some of the most heated engagements at Harpers Ferry, Boonsboro and Antietam. Douglas' family bore direct witness to the challenges of war and life in a border state when, following the Battle of Antietam, the house and outbuildings at Ferry Hill were used by both armies, in turn, as a hospital and housing for officers. Reverend Robert Douglas, Henry Kyd Douglas' father, was taken prisoner and held at Fortress Monroe, suspected of signaling Confederate soldiers across the Potomac River in Virginia, via candlelight from an un-shuttered window. Injured no less than six times during the war, Henry Kyd Douglas survived to return to the practice of law in Maryland in his post-war, civilian life. A respected trial lawyer, Douglas was an active advocate in military and veterans affairs at a state and national level, helping to establish a permanent cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland, for Confederate soldiers killed at Antietam. I Rode with Stonewall. Here is one of the finest and most remarkable stories to come out of any war, written wholly firsthand from notes and diaries made on the battlefield. Henry Kyd Douglas was depended upon by Stonewall Jackson, admired by Union soldiers, and adored by women in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. During and shortly after the Civil War Douglas set down his experiences of great men and great days in a resonant prose almost unique among soldiers and rare among writers. Read More.

Stonewall Jackson depended on him; General Lee complimented him; Union soldiers admired him; and women in Maryland, Virginia, and even Pennsylvania adored him—the young, dashing, handsome Henry Kyd Douglas. He rode with Stonewall; he fought by the model of the incomparable Ashby; he lived, joked, and courted with Jeb Stuart.From his meeting with John Brown, alias Isaac Smith, shortly before the Brown Raid, through the long, bitter years of the Civil War, he clung to the Southern cause, fought its battles, and endured its defeats. During and shortly after the war he set down his experiences of great men and great days. In a resonant prose almost unique among soldiers and rare among writers, he wrote as simply and intimately of history as though it were a jovial anecdote, spun out after dinner for the entertainment of his friends.He tells of the persimmon tree that the General climbed but could not descend; the irate farmer who upbraided Jackson for crossing his field; "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Here is one of the finest and most remarkable stories to come out of any war, written wholly firsthand from notes and diaries made on the battlefield. Henry Kyd Douglas was depended upon by Stonewall Jackson, admired by Union soldiers, and adored by women in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. During and shortly after the Civil War Douglas set down his experiences of great men and great days in a resonant prose almost unique among soldiers and rare among writers. About the Author : The youngest member of Stonewall Jackson's staff during the Civil War, Henry Kyd Douglas later became a prominent figure in legal, political, and military circles of Maryland. He died in 1903. I Rode with Stonewall, Being Chiefly the War Experiences of the Youngest Member of Jackson's Staff from the John Brown Raid to the Hanging of Mrs. Surratt. This might be the beginning of this pattern in naming memoirs, and the book is lively in proportion. It is not deep in analysis, but has many telling details. The record of Kydd Douglass' activities during the battle of Antietam is very interesting. Originally published in 1898. Читать весь отзыв. LibraryThing Review.

Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and the Review Chris Mackowski Winter 2020 Keller, Christian B., The Great Partnership: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and the Fate of the Confederacy. Pegasus Books, 2019. HARDCOVER. $18.89. ISBN: 978-1643131344 pp. 328. The cover of Christian Keller’s latest book, The Great Partnership, features a Mort Künstler painting titled Tactics and Strategy. A fatherly Robert E. Lee, seated on a crackerbox, rests a bare hand on the gloved forearm of Stonewall Jackson, crouching beside him and looking attentively at his commander. The 2002 painting captures a key moment in their partnership: the campfire-lit evening of May 1, 1863, at Chancellorsville. The painting’s title suggests their relationship: Jackson the tactician and Lee the strategist. Ironically, Keller’s book argues a different relationship between the two men. “Lee’s mind, like [Jackson’s], was not limited to the tactical or even the operational objectives in his immediate line of sight,” Keller writes. “The army commander thought more broadly, strategically, in ways that signified a clear understanding of what had to be done to win the war....” (10) In this, Keller argues, Lee and Jackson were in near-perfect synchronicity.

  • The Development of a Legend: Stonewall Jackson As a Southern Hero
    Stonewall Jackson 1 Running head: STONEWALL JACKSON The Development of a Legend: Stonewall Jackson as a Southern Hero Andrew Chesnut A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2008 Stonewall Jackson 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Brian Melton, Ph.D. Chairman of Thesis ______________________________ Cline Hall, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Charles Murphy, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date Stonewall Jackson 3 Abstract Throughout history, most individuals have lived their lives, and then faded into oblivion with little to remember them by. Relatively few receive credit for significantly affecting the course of human history and obtain appropriate remembrance in accounts of the past. For those whose memories endure, due to the unrepeatable nature of past events, history remains vulnerable to the corrupting influence of myths and legends that distort historical realities. Confederate Lieutenant General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson (1824-1863) serves as a prime example of an historical figure, who, though deserving of his place in history, has been subsequently distorted by biographers and memory. The following discussion largely passes over the general’s already well-analyzed military career, and explores other factors that contributed to his incredible rise in fame to the exalted position of southern hero. Topics include Jackson’s well-documented eccentricities, the manner of his death, the social climate of the post-war South, and his subsequent treatment by early biographers.

Savas Beatie, $18.95 ISBN 9781611213454 A Different View from South Mountain Author Alexander B. Rossino, Ph.D. is not only an award-winning historian usually working in the area of WWII, but also a lifelong Civil War buff. He currently lives in western Maryland at the foot of South Mountain, and that geographic area has worked its magic once again, giving us Six Days in September, a novel of Lee's army in Maryland. Beginning on September 13, 1862, and continuing through the Battle of Antietam, Rossino reconstructs the Army of Northern Virginia from the top down. His "characters" are drawn from the letters, orders, and experiences of the men who were serving under General Robert E. Lee and include Lee himself. Lee's interactions with Longstreet are of particular interest. Most readers are familiar with the issues between both men that surfaced at Gettysburg. Rossino plants the seeds for the distance in their relationship as early as ‘62.

There are six state monuments and eight dedicated to individuals. The time period that the majority of the monuments were erected was from 1890 to 1910. During these two decades there was a confluence of events that led to a rapid growth of monumentation, here at Antietam and at many other battlefields. First, the U.S. War Department created five national military parks, including Antietam, for the purpose of military study in the 1890s. This formalized the idea that the land was to be preserved and commemorated. Secondly, veterans of the Civil War had developed both the economic and political strength required to get monuments built.
