‎[Civil War Memoir] Sheridan, Philip H‎

‎Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan.‎

‎<p>New York:: Charles L. Webster & Company 1888. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine bright and tight set with modest wear to the corners. The gilt lettering and cover decorations are bright. Philip Sheridan was a Union general in the Civil War and his career was noted for his rapid rise to major general and his close association with Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Grant transferred Sheridan from command of an infantry division in the Western Theater to lead the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac in the East. In 1864 he defeated Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley and his destruction of the economic infrastructure of the Valley called "The Burning" by residents was one of the first uses of scorched earth tactics in the war. In 1865 his cavalry pursued Gen. Robert E. Lee and was instrumental in forcing his surrender at Appomattox. Sheridan prosecuted the later years of the Indian Wars of the Great Plains. Both as a soldier and private citizen he was instrumental in the development and protection of Yellowstone National Park. The general suffered a series of massive heart attacks two months after sending these memoirs to the publisher.</p> Charles L. Webster & Company, hardcover‎

A Fine bright copy previous owner name on flyleaf in green cloth binding with the Army of the Potomac Society emblem in gilt and red on the front board. General George Brinton McClellan is one of the most controversial figures of the American Civil War.

Here however his posthumously-published memoir provides his answers to the critics.Using a combination of military documents his own field records and letters to his beloved wife Nelly McClellan does not attempt a full autobiography but instead focuses on his short time as general in chief of the army.

‎[CIVIL WAR; CIVIL WAR DIARY]. SMITH, CHARLES E‎

‎A View from the Ranks": The Civil War Diaries and Manuscripts of Charles E. Smith 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry‎

‎np: np 1861. First edition. Original leather covers. Good. A REMARKABLY EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF A UNION SOLIDER INCLUDING DIARIES FROM 1861-1865 SPANNING HIS ENTIRE CIVIL WAR CAREER.<br /> <br /> THE SOLDIER CHARLES E. SMITH PARTICIPATED IN SOME OF THE MOST CRITICAL CAMPAIGNS OF THE WAR INCLUDING THE SEIGE OF VICKSBURG THE FALL OF ATLANTA AND SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA. Background:<br /> <br /> Charles E. Smith 1836-1905 was born in Berlin Township Ohio. He worked as a farmer and country schoolteacher in Alum Creek Delaware County Ohio. He enlisted in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the age of 25 on September 3 1861 and mustered in September 7 1861. He was promoted to the rank of corporal in Company I of the regiment on January 30 1864. He was slightly wounded on July 29 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign. He mustered out of the service on July 20 1865 at Louisville Kentucky.<br /> <br /> The 32nd Ohio Infantry was organized at Mansfield Ohio on August 20-September 7 1861 and mustered in for three years' service under the command of Colonel Thomas H. Ford. The regiment was involved in several important engagements and operations during the Civil War including the Battle of Greenbrier River the Battle of McDowell the Battle of Harpers Ferry the Battle of Champion Hill the Siege of Vicksburg the Atlanta Campaign the Battle of Jonesborough Sherman's March to the Sea the Carolinas Campaign and the Battle of Bentonville. The 32nd Ohio Infantry mustered out of service at Louisville Kentucky on July 20 1865.<br /> <br /> The Collection:<br /> <br /> The collection consists of 26 dairies dating from 1859 to 1866. Except for four volumes covering a period from 1856 to April 1861 and one covering the period September 18 1865 to December 5 1866 the remaining dairies 21 volumes span his entire Civil War career in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry covering the period September 3 1861 the date of his enlistment to the date of his mustering out of the service on July 20 1865. The diaries of various sizes average approximately 100 pages with few blank pages.<br /> <br /> His daily entries in his Civil War diaries many of which are detailed consist of descriptions of the weather diet geographical locations his devotion to the Union camp activities military news and description of engagements. He also included several drawings in the diaries some in color. He described his day of enlistment of September 3:<br /> <br /> "Enlisted at Lewis Center between 8 and 9 oclock in Captain Dyre's company of 3 years volunteers. I bid good bye to all my folks and started having resolved to assist in sustaining the Government. But the feelings which came over me when I left home friends and all that seemed dear to me I cannot describe."<br /> <br /> The new enlistees moved to Camp Dennison and Smith records the daily activities in camp as his company prepared for their first movement. From Camp Dennison the 32nd Ohio was ordered to western Virginia present-day West Virginia to assist in driving Confederate forces out of the region. On October 3 1861 the 32nd Ohio participated in the inconclusive Battle of Greenbrier River. Smith records in his diary beginning on September 29 through October 3:<br /> <br /> 

"In the evening we received orders to march to make an attack on Greenbrier about 12 miles distant. Our company numbered 86 men. Our regiment probably numbered 900 men present and able to perform duty. The 32nd. Went in advance and cleared out the road and took one prisoner. Our regiment stopped at the cross roads within four miles of Greenbrier and stopped. We expected there that the battle commenced. but they Confederate troops did not come and we. crept into the thick laurel bushes to lay till morning. When I awoke it was daylight and other regiments were passing. The artillery was hurrying along as fast as possible each gun was drawn by six horses and about nine oclock the canons began to roar. It was kept up till two oclock on both sides when our communication failed and our men withdrew from the field without losing any guns. The canons roared very loud and the sound rolled over the Mountains and valleys and made everything ring once more. Our loss was including those that were killed on the field and those that died of wounds after the battle about 12 men. We took 13 prisoners."
<br /> <br /> Smith describes an engagement with Confederate forces around Beverly Virginia on December 18 1861:<br /> <br /> "The rebels came out and met our forces and a bloody fight ensued. The 32nd fought bravely and drove the enemy back. The 25th were in the advance and were cut up dreadfully. They fell back and the 32nd stood their ground and fought them like tigers. Our men made two or three gallant charges and drove them out of their entrenchments and were forced out themselves. Our boys could not drive them out again and after a desperate and bloody struggle our troops retreated. having lost about one hundred men."<br /> <br /> After spending the winter in Beverly Virginia the 32nd Ohio participated in the Shenandoah Campaign of 1862 where they engaged Stonewall Jackson's Confederate force at the Battle of McDowell Virginia on May 8 and were defeated. On that day Smith recorded the following:<br /> <br /> "We formed into line and gave three cheers to the cavalry and were waiting to welcome the infantry when a dispatch came for us to report immediately at headquarters armed and equipped. We went forthwith and formed into line of battle on an open field. The rebels came down on the hills & tried to pick a spot to plant a gun and our boys threw shell amongst and drove them out. The rebels gathered on a mountain at the right of town about 4000 men. Our boys did not find out what they were at or where they were till late in the afternoon. Two regiments went up the mountain and the ball was opened. The battle lasted till after 8 oclock at night when our boys withdrew bringing the wounded and mostly all the dead from the field. The fight lasted about 4 hours."<br /> <br /> The 32nd Ohio retreated to Franklin Virginia where they joined General John C. Fremont's command. Fremont followed the Confederates into the valley and engaged a Confederate force at Cross Keys Virginia on June 8 1862 but Smith's company did not participate in the action. The 32nd Ohio move on to Winchester Virginia where they performed garrison duty for the remainder of the summer.<br /> <br /> In September 1862 the 32nd Ohio was dispatched to Harper's Ferry. The regiment again faced Stonewall Jackson participating in the Battle of Harper's Ferry September 12-15 1862. In this engagement Jackson captured the town and nearly twelve thousand Union soldiers including the 32nd Ohio subsequently paroling them after confiscating their supplies. In his entry for September 15 Smith describes the last day of the battle:<br /> <br /> "At sunrise the ball opened with a heavy cannonade from both sides. Our men were nearly out of ammunition for artillery and the enemy was mowing down our ranks. The shells and shot came down like hail all around and amongst us and many of our officers and soldiers were mortally wounded. Our artillerists run out of ammunition and there was no other way for us to do than surrender or be slaughtered on the field. At about 8 oclock the stripes and stars were hauled down and the white flag waved as a signal for surrender. The rebel cavalry and officers were soon riding through our camp. They hoisted the bars and stars where an hour before our glorious old star spangled banner floated proudly in the breeze. O how my heart beat and my bosom heaved to see that corrupt flag raised in defiance over us."<br /> <br /> The surrender of the 32nd Ohio resulted in a revolt in the ranks of the enlisted men against the regiment's officers which Smith later discusses in a January 15 1863 entry in his diary stating: "we were obliged to surrender 11500 men to the Rebels General A.P. Hill. It was the opinion of nearly all of our men that Colonel Miles of Baltimore betrayed us into the hands of the Rebels. It was said that he got 15 cents per head for us. Our Col Thomas H. Ford was examined by a committee and dismissed from the service for blame that was unjustly laid against him for the evacuation of the Maryland Heights. Since we were paroled a hard feeling was created between the officers of the regiment." Smith and his regiment eventually rejoined General Ulysses Grant's Army of the Tennessee in Memphis on January 25 1863. The regiment was involved in Grant's Siege of Vicksburg beginning in April 1863.<br /> <br /> A pivotal engagement in Grant's Vicksburg Campaign was the Battle of Champion Hill which occurred on May 16 resulting in a Union victory. Smith's entry for that day records the fighting:<br /> <br /> "A battle had begun on the left the firing seemed to be from large guns and the line seemed to be several miles long. We halted to await orders. Soon they came & we went forward & laid behind a ridge where we could see the fighting. The scene was grand but terrible. The heavy fighting was on the left & center at first. Our brigade charged on a rebel battery and took it & hauled it off. The 32nd did a noble part charging on the hills & ravines and out the battery driving the enemy before them killing a large number."<br /> <br /> The siege of Vicksburg ended on July 4 1863 when the Confederate forces surrendered and the Union troops under Grant including the 32nd Ohio entered the city. Smith recorded the events of July 3 and 4 in his diary. On July 3 he wrote: "This is the 46th day of the Siege. The rebels have sustained at this place and nobly and bravely have they defended it but General Grant has been too much for them." The next day's entry detailed the surrender. "At nine oclock it was announced that Vicksburg was surrendered. What a thrill of joy ran through every heart. The boys all seem lively and jubilant over the success which has crowned our arms. At half past ten oclock the rebels march out of their forts and rifle pits. and form in line outside their works and stuck arms."<br /> <br /> After Vicksburg the 32nd Ohio joined an expedition to Monroe Louisiana and then participated in General James McPherson's expedition to Brownsville Mississippi. In addition to his daily entries Smith also drew a number of pencil and ink sketches that reflected what he described in on a particular day such as sketching images that depicted the sleeping arrangements in the soldiers' tents maps of terrains and a two-page spread showing the capture of a Confederate battery in Mississippi. He also wrote down poems whether written by him or others. For example on January 31 1864 he added a six-stanza poem possibly written by him entitled "Evening Thoughts" to that day's entry. A partial transcription reads: "I'm weary and I'm lonely//As I'm sitting in my tent//And I'll take my leaden pencil//And give you my feelings sent// O would this war be over//And these bloody strivings cease//And our country now distracted//Return with lasting peace."<br /> <br /> In February 3 to March 6 1864 the 32nd Ohio was involved in General William T. Sherman's Meridian Expedition which resulted in the capture of Meridian Mississippi. On March 3 Smith recorded a diary entry that detailed the destruction rendered by the campaign:<br /> <br /> "I cannot fully give the amount of damage done to the Southern Confederacy while on this Expedition but the result foots up about as follows. About 200 miles of railroad running east & west was destroyed. About 60 miles of the Mobile and Ohio railroad was destroyed and about 40 miles of the Central Mississippi road destroyed. There were about 25 Locomotives and a considerable number of cars together with Confederate railroad houses machine shops and foundries manufacturing establishments of arms ammunition. A large amount of cotton was burned."<br /> <br /> On June 10 1864 the 32nd Ohio joined Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. In the campaign the 32nd fought in the Battles of Kennesaw Mountain Atlanta Ezra Church and Jonesborough. The campaign ended on September 2 1864 when Union forces occupied Atlanta. Smith's diary entry for June 27 mentions the engagement at Kennesaw Mountain:<br /> <br /> "We were aroused at early dawn. and then ordered to pile our knapsacks and be ready to move. A battery had been brought up and was shelling the Rebels lively for a while. Our division having formed a line of battle came to a right shoulder shift arms and then we advanced in line through the woods toward the enemy. The skirmishers engaged the enemy who replied by volleys of musketry which whizzed overhead and sounded hideous. The rebels brought several batteries down and opened upon us. Moved up a little higher and laid down again and the rebels opened with shot and shell which came whizzing overhead. Some of them sung like an old spinning wheel under the control of a northern farmer's wife. Our loss in this engagement was considerable. We fell back learning that the rebels were massing their force to right and formed a new line of battle in front of our new breastworks and behind the skirmishers. Skirmishing was kept up lively along the lines and many had hair breadth escapes. We made our demonstration to draw as much rebel force away from the right as possible."<br /> <br /> His diary entry for September 3 1864 reported the good news concerning the fall of Atlanta:<br /> <br /> "Atlanta was evacuated yesterday morning at daylight the rebels having blown up large magazines of ammunition destroyed government stores and eighty carloads of ammunition. The Twentieth Corps under General Slocum marched into and took possession of the city of Atlanta an eleven oclock. We have last caused the rebels to evacuate what they called the 'Gate City' or 'Key' to the southern Confederacy and that without a very general battle. The rebels have made many boasting speeches and declared that they would fight for Atlanta till the last man woman and child was sacrificed before they would give it up. Where is their vain boasting where are their prophesies"<br /> <br /> The capture of Atlanta had a major impact on the presidential election of 1864 and helped President Lincoln's chances for reelection enormously. On election day November 8 the 32nd Ohio voted in the field. Smith's diary entry for the day reads "This being election day the polls were opened and we voted for President. Abe Lincoln carried the day."<br /> <br /> In mid-November 1864 the 32nd Ohio participated in General Sherman's "March to the Sea." The command engaged in no noteworthy battles or skirmishes until reaching Savannah Georgia. On December 10 1864 the regiment was among the lead Northern units that drove the Confederate garrison into the confines of city. Upon the Union Army's capture of Savannah on December 21 1864 the 32nd entered and encamped in the city.<br /> <br /> Within a week of the fall of Richmond the capital city of the Confederacy the news of President Lincoln's assassination and death on April 15 spread slowly to the soldiers in the south including the 32nd Ohio. On Monday April 17 Smith recorded in his diary:<br /> <br /> "An order said to have come from Secretary Stanton to General Howard was announced to the soldiers. That President Lincoln Secretary Seward and son were assassinated and that the President was killed. Whether this be true or not it caused sadness in many hearts and was believed to be reliable."<br /> <br /> The next day's entry was in response to the confirmation that Lincoln was dead:<br /> <br /> "News of the death of our President Abraham Lincoln causes a gloom over our minds. We feel that in losing him we have lost one of the best men our nation ever produced. In losing him we lose a wise and intelligent statesman a great and good counsellor a lover of freedom and humanity and the deliverer of our nation from the curse of slavery."<br /> <br /> In addition to the dairies there are several documents and papers relating to Smith and his family including the following:
