Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... PERSONAL SKETCHES ELIAS BOWDEN. ELIAS BOWDEN was the son of John Bowden, a native of Franklin County, North Carolina. When a young man he enlisted in the army and served five years, which included the war of 1812 with England. After the war he was sent with the command to drive the whites off the Indian lands in East Tennessee, or Georgia; later was sent to Missouri, and was at St. Louis, then a fort, having been one of the old French forts. They went from there up the Missouri to make a treaty with the Indians. At the end of the five years he was discharged, and in 1818 came to Fentress County and hired to work to Bailey Owen, who lived near Boatland on the East Fork of Obeds River. Soon afterwards he married Mary Owen, a daughter of Bailey Owen. He bought and settled the farm where Perry Hinds now lives below Boatland. He and his wife spent the remainder of their lives on this farm, and were buried at what is now the Dr. Chjsm cemetery. Eight children were born to them--three girls and five boys --viz., Polly, Miley and Nicey Ann; William B., Joshua S., Elias W., Bailey 0. and Sampson V. Polly Bowden married Clark Franklin, a tailor. She died in Kentucky. Miley married Gwyn Stephens, a farmer. They lived for awhile on Cumberland Mountain, in the south end of the county, and later moved to Kentucky, where they both died many years ago. Nicey Ann married Granville Gwyn. They went to Missouri, then to Texas, and died there. W. B. BOWDEN. W. B.

He married Sallie Franklin, and lived on a farm he owned on the river above Boatland, now owned by James E....

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThroughout the Civil War, irregular warfare—including the use of hit-and-run assaults, ambushes, and raiding tactics—thrived in localized guerrilla fights within the Border States and the Confederate South. The Guerrilla Hunters offers a comprehensive overview of the tactics, motives, and actors in these conflicts, from the Confederate-authorized Partisan Rangers, a military force directed to spy on, harass, and steal from Union forces, to men like John Gatewood, who deserted the Confederate army in favor of targeting Tennessee civilians believed to be in sympathy with the Union. With a foreword by Kenneth W. Noe and an afterword by Daniel E. Sutherland, this collection represents an impressive array of the foremost experts on guerrilla fighting in the Civil War. Providing new interpretations of this long-misconstrued aspect of warfare, these scholars go beyond the conventional battlefield to examine the stories of irregular combatants across all theaters of the Civil War, bringing geographic breadth to what is often treated as local and regional history. The Guerrilla Hunters shows that instances of unorthodox combat, once thought isolated and infrequent, were numerous, and many clashes defy easy categorization. Novel methodological approaches and a staggering diversity of research and topics allow this volume to support multiple areas for debate and discovery within this growing field of Civil War scholarship.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlvin C. York went out on a routine patrol an ordinary, unknown American doughboy of the First World War. He came back from no-man's-land a hero. In a brief encounter on October 8, 1918, during the Argonne offensive, York had killed 25 German soldiers and, almost singlehandedly, effected the capture of 132 others. Returning to the United States the following spring, he received a tumultuous public welcome and a flood of offers from businessmen eager to capitalize on his acclaimed feat. But York, true to his character, went quietly back to his home in the Tennessee mountains, where he spent the remainder of his life working to bring schools and other services to those remote valleys where his neighbors lived. In this definitive biography, David D. Lee has firmly established the simple facts of Alvin York's life, distinguishing them from the myths which have grown up around the man. He has reexamined the sometimes conflicting accounts of the famous exploit, finding in his research a hitherto unknown report of the skirmish from German military archives. Lee goes beyond that single wartime episode, however, to consider its consequences on York's later life—his efforts, not always successful, to better his mountain community; his involvement in making a motion picture of his life; his difficulties with money and taxes. But Sergeant York is better known as a symbol than as an individual, and in this study Lee connects the man and his life to an American heroic ideal. With his rural background, his refusal to take commercial advantage of his fame, and his simple piety, Alvin York exemplified the traditional values of an agrarian America that was in his own day already receding into the past. He claimed a special place in the hearts of his countrymen, Lee concludes, because his life seemed to show that the virtues of the common man continued to be a vital part of American society.
