Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"Dixie Spy" tells the life story of John Edward Henry, a young Midwestern teen that is apprenticed to the town's only doctor to study medicine. He is an atypical farm boy that is raised in the Quaker faith during the time of the war between the North and South. His family has sent him to find an errant younger brother who enlists in the Union army then later, is severely wounded in battle near the nation's capitol. He leaves his medical training and fiancé, promising to return not knowing he will ever see her again. On the way east, our doctor is taken from a train by Jeb Stuarts Calvary to give medical aid for a young rebel officer. He voluntarily commits to be a caregiver for the young relative of Confederate General Robert E. Lee on the journey deep into rebel territory. He is asked by the Confederate command to temporarily serve as a doctor in a rebel army hospital while waiting for an escort back north. He finally wins a release and is escorted north in a magnificent black hearse driven by a rebel spy posing as a mortician delivering a corpse to northern relatives. The trip is fraught with dangers from both armies and desperate deserters.

Gettysburg
Author: Allen Guelzo
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307740692
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 674
Book Description
Winner of the Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize in Military History An Economist Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year The Battle of Gettysburg has been written about at length and thoroughly dissected in terms of strategic importance, but never before has a book taken readers so close to the experience of the individual soldier. Two-time Lincoln Prize winner Allen C. Guelzo shows us the face, the sights and the sounds of nineteenth-century combat: the stone walls and gunpowder clouds of Pickett’s Charge; the reason that the Army of Northern Virginia could be smelled before it could be seen; the march of thousands of men from the banks of the Rappahannock in Virginia to the Pennsylvania hills. What emerges is a previously untold story of army life in the Civil War: from the personal politics roiling the Union and Confederate officer ranks, to the peculiar character of artillery units. Through such scrutiny, one of history’s epic battles is given extraordinarily vivid new life.
