The Destruction of Jackson County, Missouri, in the Civil War
Author: Paul Debry
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781500321925
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
War and suffering began in Jackson and surrounding counties of Missouri in the early 1830's with the persecution and expulsion from the state of the Mormons. Then in the 1850's the Border War broke out with between the remaining inhabitants and those living in eastern Kansas. When the Border War came to a close the U.S. Civil War began. In 1865 when that war ended for the rest of the country, Jackson and surrounding counties continued to suffer from the "Bushwhackers" who terrified, pillaged, killed, and destroyed the people and the countryside until the 1880's. One writer wrote, "Nowhere during the Civil War did people suffer such terror and tribulation as those unfortunate enough to reside in the guerrilla-infested regions of Missouri." [Jackson and surrounding Counties] “Compared to what they experienced, the civilians who were in the path of Sherman's famed March to the Sea through Georgia got off lightly.”

The Civil War in the Jackson Purchase, 1861-1862
Author: Dan Lee
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786477822
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The Jackson Purchase is the far western section of Kentucky. In 1861, it was a rich agricultural and iron producing region. It also controlled the mouths of the Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers, as well as that middle stretch of the mighty Mississippi where it transitions from a northern to a southern river. The Purchase was the riverine gateway to the Deep South. The obvious military importance of the region caused both the Federal and Confederate governments to pour material resources and military talent into the Purchase in an effort to hold it and defend it against the incursions of their enemies. The Jackson Purchase was the Civil War training ground of such army officers as U.S. Grant, C.F. Smith, Leonidas Polk, Lloyd Tilghman, and the navy's own Andrew H. Foote, commander of the Federal "Brown Water Navy." Four major amphibious battles were fought for control of the area: Columbus-Belmont, Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, and Island Number Ten. This book tells the story of the bloody years 1861 and 1862 and the tense, contested Union occupation that followed in the region known as "The South Carolina of Kentucky."

The Last Days of Stonewall Jackson
Author: Chris Mackowski
Publisher: Grub Street Publishers
ISBN: 1611211514
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
An exhaustive look at the final hours of the Confederacy’s most audacious general. May 1863. The Civil War was in its third spring, and Confederate Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan Jackson stood at the peak of his fame. He had risen from obscurity to become “Old Stonewall,” adored across the South and feared and respected throughout the North. On the night of May 2, however, just hours after Jackson executed the most audacious maneuver of his career and delivered a crushing blow against an unsuspecting Union army at Chancellorsville, disaster struck. The Last Days of Stonewall Jackson recounts the events of that fateful night—considered one of the most pivotal moments of the war—and the tense vigil that ensued as Jackson struggled with a foe even he could not defeat. From Guinea Station, where Jackson crosses the river to rest under the shade of the trees, the story follows Jackson’s funeral and burial, the strange story of his amputated arm, and the creation and restoration of the building where he died (now known as the Stonewall Jackson Shrine). This newly revised and expanded second edition features more than 50 pages of fresh material, including almost 200 illustrations, maps, and eye-catching photos. New appendices allow readers to walk in Jackson’s prewar footsteps through his adopted hometown of Lexington, Virginia; consider the ways Jackson’s memory has been preserved through monuments, memorials, and myths; and explore the misconceptions behind the Civil War’s great What-If: “What if Stonewall had survived his wounds?” With the engaging prose of master storytellers, Chris Mackowski and Kristopher D. White make The Last Days of Stonewall Jackson a must-read for Civil War novices and buffs alike.
