Edward A. Wild and the African Brigade in the Civil War
ISBN: 9780786424436 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Edward Wild, the Union general who headed the all-black African Brigade in the Civil War, was one of the most controversial figures of the 19th century. The man was neither understood nor appreciated by military or civilian, black or white, Northerner or Southerner. Wild was placed in charge of the United States Colored Troops and told to free slaves and gain recruits. He freed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of slaves and settled them safely on Roanoke Island. He also did some inexplicable things, including taking women as hostages and ordering a great deal of property destruction.

Archer was promoted to the rank of brigadier general by Robert E. Lee.

Upon returning to the Confederacy, Archer resumed command and served until his death from...

Many prisoners, both Confederate and...

The Civil War and Yadkin County, North Carolina: A History, with Contemporary Photographs and Letters; New Evidence Regarding Home Guard Activity and
ISBN: 9780786424443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the Civil War. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted. Some of these holed up in the Bond School House, and when the militia attempted to arrest them, four were killed and several others were wounded. This is a comprehensive accounting of how the county responded to the Civil War and the effect it had on Yadkins citizens, civilian and military alike.
