Описание: An incredible heroine of the Confederacy There are several accounts told through the ages, and concerning several conflicts, of women who went to war for the cause they espoused and who not only performed extraordinary feats of daring and bravery, but acted disguised and undetected in the roles of men. The history of the American Civil War offers several examples where the women concerned came from both sides of the conflict and all are incredible. Several of these dauntless Amazons have left posterity riveting accounts of their experiences, but among them all this book, written by the Cuban born Loreta Janeta Velazquez, is widely regarded not only as an extraordinary narrative among those where all are extraordinary, but also as an account of a woman's wartime experiences that has virtually no equal in history. This was an exceptional woman by any standards and her story will inform, astonish and entertain. Indeed, it has long been the subject of disputed veracity in its entirety, but modern historians have confirmed much of its authenticity. If it does contain a few 'tall stories' it will not be exceptional among memoirs irrespective of the gender of the author. Loreta enlisted for the South in 1861 as a regular soldier and, of course, as a man, under the name of Lieutenant Harry Buford. She fought at First Bull Run, Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson and at Shiloh. This remarkable woman then gave up uniform to travel behind the Union lines, there working as a spy, gathering intelligence and undertaking other dangerous and subversive activities on behalf of the Confederacy. This is an indispensable book for all those interested in outstanding women of action. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.

Автор: Hurt Название: Agriculture And The Confederacy ISBN: 1469620006 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781469620008 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 41800.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this comprehensive history, R. Douglas Hurt traces the decline and fall of agriculture in the Confederate States of America. The backbone of the southern economy, agriculture was a source of power that southerners believed would ensure their independence. But, season by season and year by year, Hurt convincingly shows how the disintegration of southern agriculture led to the decline of the Confederacy's military, economic, and political power. He examines regional variations in the Eastern and Western Confederacy, linking the fates of individual crops and different modes of farming and planting to the wider story. After a dismal harvest in late 1864, southerners--faced with hunger and privation throughout the region, ransacked farms in the Shenandoah Valley, and pillaged plantations in the Carolinas and the Mississippi Delta--finally realized that their agricultural power, and their government itself, had failed. Hurt shows how this ultimate lost harvest had repercussions that lasted well beyond the end of the Civil War.Assessing agriculture in its economic, political, social, and environmental contexts, Hurt sheds new light on the fate of the Confederacy from the optimism of secession to the reality of collapse.

Описание: It took four years for Confederate Leaders, whose Government’s “foundations were laid,” and its “cornerstone rested upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man;” to authorize enlistment of some free blacks and slaves in Confederate armies, despite examples of 200,000 black soldiers—very many of them Southerners—in Union armies and their service in Colonial times and by both sides during the American War for Independence and the War of 1812—nearly always under white officers.
This book, a companion to U.S. Colored Troops Defeat Confederate Cavalry: Action at Wilson’s Wharf, Virginia 24 May 1864, describes slave revolts, political conflicts from 1819-1860 that resulted in secession of eleven Southern slaves states and war to preserve the Union, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and Confederate General Patrick Cleburne’s futile advocacy to emancipate slaves and enlist some, blacks who served in civilian support roles with Confederate armies and the few “private” soldiers, and conversion of mixed-race Confederate Louisiana militia into Union soldiers.
