Abraham Bates Tower: Civil War Veteran

Andersonville (Plume)

An epic account of the notorious prison camp in Southwest Georgia which operated from February 1864 till the end of the Civil War. There are not-always subtle parallels between Andersonville and the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The horrors of the prison are contrasted with outside digressions. One digression is the prisoners' memories of happier times in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and in what is called York State. Kantor's aim is to make the prisoners real people, not just faceless statistics. Another digression is the existence of residents in the vicinity of the stockade, whose lives are blighted by the neighboring corruption. Many readers have commented on Kantor's decision not to use quotation marks....It gives the narrative a tougher, more documentary tone, appropriate for such a grim topic. Grim it ineviatably is.

First Flag on the Summit: History of the 15th Indiana Civil War Regiment

The 15th Indiana Infantry Regiment was in the forefront of two of the most decisive battles in the Western Theater of the Civil War. In the Battle of Stones River, the 15th played a crucial role in reversing the tide of the battle, which was almost a total disaster for the Union forces. At the battle of Chattanooga, the 15th claimed to be the first regiment to plant a flag on the summit of Missionary Ridge during the famous charge up the slope. At both of these battles, the 15th paid a tragic price in dead and wounded. However, these battles were key to defeating the Rebels in the west. The book starts out with recruitment in Lafayette, Indiana, and follows the regiment's campaign in western Virginia, then to Kentucky and the march to Shiloh where they participated in the second day of the battle at Shiloh. From Shiloh, they took part in the occupation of Corinth and the invasion of northern Mississippi. (publisher description from Amazon)

Hoosiers' Honor: The Iron Brigade's 19th Indiana Regiment

Author William Venner has assembled a useful book in relating to the history of the 19th Indiana. Venner has worked hard to back up his information offering many pages of footnotes that are handy in reenforcing his writing. This book is a fast read and chronologically follows the 19th from 1861 muster to final discharge as the unit is blended with the 20th Indiana. This book follows the hard fought history of a tough group of individuals that faced many conflicts such as Gainesville, Antietam, Gettysburg, The Wilderness and Petersburg. Venner does an excellent job covering the manpower involved in the regiment and how they survived with ever-dwindling numbers. Venner's writing is easy to read and not ever complex. This book is an excellent source for reading about the 19th Indiana as much is not written about this hard fighting group. 5 STARS! (reviewed by Todd Newman on Amazon)

IRON MEN, IRON WILL: The Nineteenth Indiana Regiment of the Iron Brigade

What a great book on the Nineteenth Indiana Volunteers of the Iron Brigade. The book was maticulously researched and documented. The best part about the book was that the documentation did not detract from the enjoyable reading. The pictures and roster were very helpful. I have personally read over 200 Civil War regimental histories and this one was my favorite. I have read two other books on the Nineteenth Indiana and found them to be lacking in documentation and in ease of reading. This book is the best. (review by Bob Williams on Amazon)

On to Atlanta: With the 27th Indiana Infantry Through Georgia

In the spring of 1864, the Union armies stood ready to bring the war to a close, through the use of its overwhelming numerical superiority. General Ulysses S. Grant's plan was to exert pressure on the Confederate armies simultaneously by coordinated campaigns in different parts of the country. Grant himself would accompany the Army of the Potomac as it engaged Robert E. Lee's army in Virginia. The second major component of Grant's overall plan involved William T. Sherman's western army capturing the important supply and manufacturing center of Atlanta, Georgia. The focus of this book is on the latter campaign, and Union efforts to seize the Gate City of the South. Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston opposed Sherman's advance; the two officers maneuvered their respective armies in a martial dance across northwestern Georgia, as each commander looked for a strategic advantage over the other. When Johnston was replaced in command by General John Bell Hood, Sherman was finally able to achieve an advantage when Hood abandoned the fortifications of Atlanta to fight Sherman's numerically superior army in the open field. On to Atlanta: With the 27th Indiana Infantry Through Georgia tells the story of this important campaign through the first-hand reports of John Tomey, a member of the 27th Indiana. Tomey's diary entries give the reader an opportunity to experience the horror of battle and the tedium of camp life through the eyes of a soldier who fought and lived in the ranks of a famed fighting regiment of the war. It gives the reader a chance to examine this critical campaign as the soldier saw it, with all the innocence of a sergeant in the ranks who was merely doing his duty and following orders.
