DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Life of Major-General George H. Thomas General Thomas once said to the author: "Time and history will do me justice." He however desired that a narrative history of the Army of the Cumberland should precede all biographical representations of himself. It is probable that he overestimated the direct and suggestive force of such a narrative to effect his own vindication, and it is certain that he did not anticipate the disparaging tenor of histories published since his death. Justice has not been done him, in the opinion of multitudes who believe him to have been a very great man and general; and there is, therefore, need of a book which has been written to give the well-defined reasons for this belief. Private and family letters have been excluded from this volume, in deference to General Thomas' expressed opinion, that no strictly personal communications should be published except with the consent of those writing them. For the details of operations which have been analyzed and discussed, the reader is referred to my History of the Army of the Cumberland, and Captain Ruger's accompanying Atlas, from which have been taken reduced battle maps for this volume.

Thomas: A Paper Read for the District of Columbia Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, April 6, 1887 As in art, the elements of truth, beauty, and strength unite to form a masterpiece, so does this combination enter into the formation of the grand character of whom it is my pleasure to talk to you to-night. True, strong, and brave, George H. Thomas, the greatest of Virginians since the days of Washington, threw his whole soul into the scale on the side of the nation, against the secessionists, who sought to carry his native State out of the Union, into the thrall of the Southern Confederacy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Major General George H. Thomas: An Address In January, 1861, george H. Thomas, who had served his country actively during the previous twenty years, was the senior Major of the second-cavalry, of which regiment albert sidney johnston Was Colonel, lee lieutenant-colonel, van dorn junior Major; and kirby smith, hood, and fitz hugh lee were among the line officers. A Virginian by birth, bound to his native state by ties strong and influential, the outbreak of the war brought to thomas, as it brought to many another army officer of South ern birth, great trial - trial to which hundreds proved unequal; but he was among the few who esteemed their country greater than their state; who felt that their oath of fealty to the Government was as binding against treason as it was to service against a foreign foe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom 1861 to 1865, the Civil War raged along the great rivers of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. While various Civil War biographies exist, none have been devoted exclusively to participants in the Western river war as waged down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River, and up the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. Based on the Official Records, county histories, newspapers and internet sources, this is the first work to profile personnel involved in the fighting on these great streams. Included in this biographical encyclopedia are Union and Confederate naval officers down to the rank of mate; enlisted sailors who won the Medal of Honor, or otherwise distinguished themselves or who wrote accounts of life on the gunboats; army officers and leaders who played a direct role in combat along Western waters; political officials who influenced river operations; civilian steamboat captains and pilots who participated in wartime logistics; and civilian contractors directly involved, including shipbuilders, dam builders, naval constructors and munitions experts. Each of the biographies includes (where known) birth, death and residence data; unit organization or ship; involvement in the river war; pre- and post-war careers; and source documentation. Hundreds of individuals are given their first historic recognition.
