    Where did the Southern Campaign take place? I mean I understand that these soldiers were recruited from the South, but did they fight in the South? I guess I can look it up...I need to find out if Samuel Givens, here, is one of my people. Thanks, Craig.

Captains of the Civil War by William Wood - Free eBook - 1 views

  •  
    Sixty years ago today the guns that thundered round Fort Sumter began the third and greatest modern civil war fought by English-speaking people. This war was quite as full of politics as were the other two--the War of the American Revolution and that of Puritan and Cavalier. But, though the present Chronicle never ignores the vital correlations between statesmen and commanders, it is a book of warriors, through and through.

  • Did you know that many of the men, women and children that experienced the Revolutionary War first hand lived into the age of photography (1839)? Several veterans appeared in Reverend Elias Hillard ‘s Last Men of the Revolution, but now through photographs and documents, my colleague David Lambert (of the New England Historic Genealogical Society) and I are trying to bring to life those great Americans who lived during the Revolutionary War and into the age of photography.
