ISBN: 9781503224209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Maryland Campaign of 1862, which culminated in the Battle of Antietam, was a major turning point in the American Civil War and in the history of this nation. Lasting for just fifteen days, the courage, sacrifice and eventual outcome of the campaign would forever burn into the American memory names like McClellan and Lee, places like "Bloody Lane" and the "Cornfield," and principles such as emancipation and freedom. With over 23,000 casualties, the battle of Antietam was the bloodiest one-day battle in American history. When the guns finally fell silent on the campaign and the Confederate...

George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac at the crossroads county seat of Gettysburg. On July 1, Confederate forces converged on the town from west and north, driving Union defenders back through the streets to Cemetery Hill. During the night, reinforcements arrived for both sides.

In the battle of the Wilderness General Grant's instructions to Sherman for his part in the general plan of combined operations, in the spring of 1864, directed him to move against Johnston's army, to break it up, and to get into the interior of the enemy's country as far as he could, inflicting all the damage he could against their war resources. Atlanta, eighty-five miles from Dalton, was Johnston's base. It was a large town at the junction of several railways of strategic importance. One leading through Dalton to Chattanooga, was the line of communications of both hostile armies; one to...

The First Battle of Bull Run
ISBN: 9781502943835 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book does not attempt to trace the causes of The American Civil War. There are even yet more matters of controversy than of exact history. We are concerned merely with its military history. We want to learn the lessons from its campaigns, and to do so to the best advantage we must forget the sectional prejudice we may have imbibed in our childhood. Indeed we must forget, if we have not already done so, much of the fiction we were taught, under the guise of history, in the school-rooms of our youth. We must strive to get at the exact truth of events, and then study coldly, critically,...

On April 25, 1898 the United States declared war on Spain following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. As a result Spain lost its control over the remains of its overseas empire -- Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines Islands, Guam, and other islands. Background Beginning in 1492, Spain was the first European nation to sail westward across the Atlantic Ocean, explore, and colonize the Amerindian nations of the Western Hemisphere.

McClellan took command of the Federal forces in and around Washington and organized them into a formidable fighting machine- the Army of the Potomac. In March 1862, leaving a strong force to cover the capital, McClellan shifted his army by water to Fort Monroe on the tip of the York-James peninsular, only 100 miles southeast of Richmond. Early in April he advanced toward the Confederate capital. Anticipating such a move, the Southerners abandoned the Manassas area and marched to meet the Federals. By the end of May, McClellan's...

As 1862 drew to a close, President Abraham Lincoln was desperate for a military victory. His armies were stalled, and the terrible defeat at Fredericksburg spread a pall of defeat across the nation. There was also the Emancipation Proclamation to consider. The nation needed a victory to bolster morale and support the proclamation when it went into effect on January 1, 1863. The Confederate Army of Tennessee was camped in Murfreesboro, Tennessee only 30 miles away from General William S. Rosecrans' army in Nashville. General Braxton Bragg chose this area in order to position himself to stop...

After the Tullahoma Campaign, Rosecrans renewed his offensive, aiming to force the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps comprising Rosecrans' s army split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. In early September, Rosecrans consolidated his forces scattered in Tennessee and Georgia and forced Bragg's army out of Chattanooga, heading south. The Union troops followed it and brushed with it at Davis' Cross Roads. Bragg was determined to reoccupy Chattanooga and decided to meet a part of Rosecrans's army, defeat them, and then move back into the city. On the 17th he...

ISBN: 9781503288249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Having resolved to continue his advance southward from the Wilderness battlefield, and, if possible, to cut Lee off from Richmond, Grant set his army in motion on the evening of May 7, 1864. As the movement was to be made mainly with a view to getting outside of the Wilderness and inducing Lee to go out and give battle in the open, the first objective points assigned to the various army-corps, and the routes, were merely preliminary; subsequent movements would depend upon the movements of Lee's army. Hancock's corps Second], which occupied the left of the line, was to remain in position...

Franklin and Nashville Campaign and Sheridan's March to the Sea
ISBN: 9781503321656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) General Sherman admits that in taking Atlanta he had not accomplished all, for Hood's army, the chief objective, had escaped. Yet Hood's demoralized army was left unmolested for three weeks at Lovejoy's Station, only thirty miles from Atlanta, and, was itself the first to resume offensive operations. The Union army spent this time of truce mainly in resting from the fatigues of the three-month campaign, and in making itself secure and comfortable at Atlanta. General Sherman says in his Memoirs: "All the army, officers and men seemed to relax more or less, and sink into a condition of...

The Mexican War: Taylor's Campaign
ISBN: 9781502943545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Mexican War grew out of the annexation of Texas and the dispute between the United States and Mexico over the boundary line. Texas had achieved her independence of Mexico in 1836, and in less than a year her sovereignty was acknowledged by the United States. Soon afterwards Texas applied for annexation to the United States, and a bill to that effect, after much discussion in Congress, finally passed in march, 1845. The second half of this book covers in detail the campaign of Major General Winfield Scott, ending with the surrender of Mexico as well as the political aftermath.

Jackson's Valley Campaign
ISBN: 9781503209909 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The region known as the Valley of Virginia, or the Shenandoah Valley, played an important part in the Civil War from the beginning almost to the end. Indeed Lee's little army was hastening toward that region in its very last march, and, if it had not been headed off by Sheridan's cavalry at Appomattox, the last hostile action on Virginia soil, like the first, might have taken place in the Shenandoah Valley. The situation of Richmond and Washington fore-ordered that Virginia, rather than Kentucky or other border State, should become the principal theater of operations, and the mountain region...

On November 14, Burnside, now in command of the Army of the Potomac, sent a corps to occupy the vicinity of Falmouth near Fredericksburg. The rest of the army soon followed. Lee reacted by entrenching his army on the heights behind the town. On December 11, Union engineers laid five pontoon bridges across the Rappahannock under fire. On the 12th, the Federal army crossed over, and on December 13, Burnside mounted a series of futile frontal assaults on Prospect Hill and Marye's Heights that resulted in staggering casualties. Meade's division, on the Union left flank, briefly penetrated...

The Battle of Forts Henry and Donelson
ISBN: 9781503271517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When the Southern States seceded and organized the Confederacy, Kentucky wavered between Union and Secession. The governor was for Secession, but the legislature was for the Union. So the State, which had been brought up in the school of compromise by her greatest statesman, Henry Clay, compromised in this instance by undertaking to remain neutral. For a time the United States and the Confederacy appeared tacitly to recognize the neutrality of her soil, while both recruited regiments among her people. The first violation of her neutrality was done by General Leonidas Polk, who, with a...

Sedgwick's VI Corps and Gibbon's division remained to demonstrate against the Confederates at Fredericksburg. In the meantime, Lee left a covering force under Maj. Gen. Jubal Early in Fredericksburg and marched with the rest...
