Young Spencer Kellogg Brown was ready to fight for the Union well before the war broke out. He joined the struggle in "Bleeding Kansas" in the late fifties and when war did break out, he joined the Union Navy on the gunboat Essex.Infiltrating Rebel lines on secret assignments, he came close to execution more than once. He heard the guns of the Battle of Shiloh while with Confederate troops.In this exciting true story, Brown's own journal and letters to family are the source of the drama and humor of war. Gunboat battles, meetings with Grant, Stanton, Admiral Porter, and others punctuate a compelling tale of extreme danger and risk.Admiral Porter later worked feverishly to get Brown exchanged before the date of his execution. This story of a forgotten hero is one of the best of the Civil War.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Grenville Mellen Dodge in the Civil War
Author: James Patrick MorgansPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147662142X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
In 1861, Colonel Grenville Dodge organized the 4th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment and led them off to war. They had few uniforms or weapons and were more of a mob than a military unit, but Dodge shaped them into a fighting force that won honors on the battlefield and gained respect as one of the best regiments in the Union army. Promoted to the rank of major-general, Dodge became one of the youngest divisional, corps and departmental commanders in the Army. A superb field general, he also organized a network of more than 100 spies to gather military intelligence and built railroads to supply the troops in the Western Theater. This book covers Dodge's Civil War career and the history of the 4th Iowa, who fought at Pea Ridge, Vicksburg, Chattanooga and Atlanta.
