Описание: In Edward Terry Sanford: A Tennessean on the U.S. Supreme Court , Stephanie Slater uncovers the life and work of Edward Terry Sanford (1865–1930), the only Supreme Court justice who obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee. Born and raised in Knoxville, Sanford served as an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court from 1923 until his death in 1930. He was one of only six Tennesseans to serve on the nation's highest Court. Slater's delineation of Sanford's contributions to the legal profession illuminates one of Tennessee's favorite sons whose story had, until now, been largely left in the dark. Slater frames Sanford's personality and jurisprudence in a post-Civil War and Taft-era context, one that helps readers better understand both the man and his contributions to the Supreme Court. From Slater's important work we learn about Sanford's early upbringing, the lasting impression a largely pro-Union East Tennessee would leave upon Sanford, his rise from a skilled lawyer to federal judge during the rapid industrialization of Knoxville and the surrounding area, and his eventual appointment to the Supreme Court. Within Sanford's rich legacy is the pivotal role he played in writing the majority opinion in the landmark 1925 case, Gitlow v. New York, a decision which became a critical legal precedent for the expansion of civil rights and civil liberties in the 1950s and 1960s. Slater provides a keen look into the life of a Knoxville native whose life and career may now be appreciated and studied by a new generation. Sanford, his character, and his life as a Tennessean on the Supreme Court are sure to intrigue legal scholars, students of Tennessee culture and history, and general audiences alike.

When General Ulysses S. Grant targeted Forts Henry and Donelson, he penetrated the Confederacy at one of its most vulnerable points, setting in motion events that would elevate his own status, demoralize the Confederate leadership and citizenry, and, significantly, tear the western Confederacy asunder. More to the point, the two battles of early 1862 opened the Tennessee River campaign that would prove critical to the ultimate Union victory in the Mississippi Valley. In Grant Invades Tennessee, award-winning Civil War historian Timothy B. Smith gives readers a battlefield view of the fight for Forts Henry and Donelson, as well as a critical wide-angle perspective on their broader meaning in the conduct and outcome of the war. The first comprehensive tactical treatment of these decisive battles, this book completes the trilogy of the Tennessee River campaign that Smith began in Shiloh and Corinth 1862, marking a milestone in Civil War history.
Whether detailing command-level decisions or using eye-witness anecdotes to describe events on the ground, walking readers through maps or pulling back for an assessment of strategy, this finely written work is equally sure on matters of combat and context. Beginning with Grant’s decision to bypass the Confederates’ better-defended sites on the Mississippi, Smith takes readers step-by-step through the battles: the employment of a flotilla of riverine war ships along with infantry and land-based artillery in subduing Fort Henry; the lesser effectiveness of this strategy against Donelson’s much stronger defense, weaponry, and fighting forces; the surprise counteroffensive by the Confederates and the role of their commanders’ incompetence and cowardice in foiling its success. Though casualties at the two forts fell far short of bloodier Civil War battles to come, the importance of these Union victories transcend battlefield statistics. Grant Invades Tennessee allows us, for the first time, to clearly see how and why.

Автор: Mortenson Christopher R. Название: Politician in Uniform: General Lew Wallace and the Civil War ISBN: 0806161957 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780806161952 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29220.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Lew Wallace (1827-1905) won fame for his novel, Ben-Hur, and for his negotiations with William H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, during the Lincoln County Wars of 1878-81. He was a successful lawyer, a notable Indiana politician, and a capable military administrator. And yet, as history and his own memoir tell us, Wallace would have traded all these accolades for a moment of military glory in the Civil War to save the Union. Where previous accounts have sought to discredit or defend Wallace's performance as a general in the war, author Christopher R. Mortenson takes a more nuanced approach. Combining military biography, historical analysis, and political insight, Politician in Uniform provides an expanded and balanced view of Wallace's military career--and offers the reader a new understanding of the experience of a voluntary general like Lew Wallace.
A rising politician from Indiana, Wallace became a Civil War general through his political connections. While he had much success as a regimental commander, he ran into trouble at the brigade and division levels. A natural rivalry and tension between West Pointers and political generals might have accounted for some of these difficulties, but many, as Mortenson shows us, were of Wallace's own making. A temperamental officer with a "rough" conception of manhood, Wallace often found his mentors wanting, disrespected his superiors, and vigorously sought opportunities for glorious action in the field, only to perform poorly when given the chance.
Despite his flaws, Mortenson notes, Wallace contributed both politically and militarily to the war effort--in the fight for Fort Donelson and at the Battle of Shiloh, in the defense of Cincinnati and southern Indiana, and in the administration of Baltimore and the Middle Department. Detailing these and other instances of Wallace's success along with his weaknesses and failures, Mortenson provides an unusually thorough and instructive picture of this complicated character in his military service. His book clearly demonstrates the unique complexities of evaluating the performance of a politician in uniform.

Описание: A true story of two pioneer families: Wittenburg and Parmer that come together as one on July 3, 1964. The two family's history and the history of Texas melt together. William Wittenburg, born in 1825 in Westphalia, Prussia, was born after Napoleon's army conquered most of Germany between 1800 & 1812, seizing the land and dispossessing the landowners. At 23, William boarded a ship for America, after serving the required three years in the Prussian army and three years acquiring a master's license in sheep husbandry. After arriving in Baltimore, MD. his story takes the reader to the great state of Texas where he becomes the state's most respected Sheepman. He eventually acquires 30,000 acres of ranch land while, as a Sheepman, he faces many difficulties; fighting Indians, cattlemen, fence cutters, barns burned, grassland burned, sheep killed by the cattlemen who hated the sheepmen. Martin Van Buren Parmer (Ringtail Panther) born in Charlotte County, Virginia, on June 4, 1778. After moving to Kentucky, in 1798, he settled in Dickson County, Tennessee. About 1816 he moved to Missouri, where in 1820 he was elected to a two-year term in the Missouri General Assembly. He was named as a delegate to the Missouri Constitutional Convention of 1821. He then served a term in the Missouri State Senate, then was chosen colonel of the Missouri militia and led four military companies against the Indians. He moved to Texas in 1825 settling in Cherokee County where he joined Haden Edwards and fought for Benjamin Edwards in the Fredonian Rebellion. On Nov. 25, 1826 he presided over the court-martial that tried and convicted Samuel Norris and his attorney Jose' Antonio Sepulveda of Nacogdoches. The Mexicans feared Colonel Parmer and Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for Parmer. In 1839, Republic of Texas president Mirabeau B. Lamar appointed him Chief Justice Jasper County. Martin Parmer was a smart and tough man, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence,
