Book Description
Excerpt from Four Years in Rebel Capitals: An Inside View of Life in the Southern Confederacy, From Birth to Death; From Original Notes, Collated in the Years 1861 to 1865 In offering another new edition of this work to that public which has so graciously received previous ones, the publishers aim to meet a seeming omission in the latter. Frequent requests come to them from various parts of the country, asking for Mr. DeLeon's photograph and autograph. To comply with them is not practicable; and the present is made an "Author's Autograph Edition," Mr. DeLeon having signed every one of the portraits. These are the latest made, from a photograph taken expressly for this purpose. Of them the author recently wrote: "They are not so flattering as those vanity-breeders, lately published by my good friends of 'Lippincott's, ' but they seem to me nearer to the truth of History teaching by reflection." As another point of probable interest to the curious, estimates from the widely differing minds of two noted people are appended to this note. The letters of Mrs. Wilson and General Johnson were printed in the current newspapers of their day. Concreted here, in form as they then appeared, they may prove of interest to the reader of the future. [From the New Orleans Picayune.) Authoress to Author. The latest book written by Mr. T. C. DeLeon, of Mobile, is called "Four Years in Rebel Capitals," and is dedicated to Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, the famous Southern novelist. That lady has just written its author the following characteristic and complimentary letter: At Home, July 17, 1890. Dear Mr. DeLeou: Since the arrival of the handsome copy of "Four Years in Rebel Capitals," I have laid aside all engagements and devoted every hour to the study of your vivid photographs of that sacred and inexpressibly dear Confederate era. the bare memory of which brings back the old glow of pride in Southern heroism. Accept my cordial congratulations upon the polished and elegant diction, the genuine pathos, the unanswerable logic, and the brilliant, critical acumen that characterize your last and - may I add? - incomparably best book.

Into the Crater
Author: Earl J. Hess
Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 1643364367
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864, was the defining event in the 292-day campaign around Petersburg, Virginia, in the Civil War and one of the most famous engagements in American military history. Although the bloody combat of that "horrid pit" has been recently revisited as the centerpiece of the novel and film versions of Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, the battle has yet to receive a definitive historical study. Distinguished Civil War historian Earl J. Hess fills that gap in the literature of the Civil War with Into the Crater. The Crater was central in Ulysses S. Grant's third offensive at Petersburg and required digging of a five-hundred-foot mine shaft under enemy lines and detonating of four tons of gunpowder to destroy a Confederate battery emplacement. The resulting infantry attack through the breach in Robert E. Lee's line failed terribly, costing Grant nearly four thousand troops, among them many black soldiers fighting in their first battle. The outnumbered defenders of the breach saved Confederate Petersburg and inspired their comrades with renewed hope in the lengthening campaign to possess this important rail center. In this narrative account of the Crater and its aftermath, Hess identifies the most reliable evidence to be found in hundreds of published and unpublished eyewitness accounts, official reports, and historic photographs. Archaeological studies and field research on the ground itself, now preserved within the Petersburg National Battlefield, complement the archival and published sources. Hess re-creates the battle in lively prose saturated with the sights and sounds of combat at the Crater in moment-by-moment descriptions that bring modern readers into the chaos of close range combat. Hess discusses field fortifications as well as the leadership of Union generals Grant, George Meade, and Ambrose Burnside, and of Confederate generals Lee, P. G. T. Beauregard, and A. P. Hill. He also chronicles the atrocities committed against captured black soldiers, both in the heat of battle and afterward, and the efforts of some Confederate officers to halt this vicious conduct
