No less authority than Albert Bushnell Hart, the "Grand Old Man" of American historians, wrote the introduction to this marvelous 1912 classic. Not only was David Parker's life exciting and eventful, the man could write a memoir that holds the reader through every page. David B. Parker was only 18 years old when he enlisted in the Union cause during the American Civil War. Yet he rose quickly and found himself in the company of the greatest men of his day. Parker knew "Fighting Joe" Hooker well, General George Gordon Meade—whom he thought cold and unlikable—a little, and was fortunate as to command the high regard of General Ulysses S. Grant. This book is unique. Young Parker did his share of fighting in the Peninsular Campaign of 1862, and has recorded some striking and entertaining things about the soldiers in the trenches, but it was as a courier, marshal, and later mail postmaster that he rose to prominence.Throughout the war he developed a talent for cutting red tape. He took dispatches between Grant and Abraham Lincoln and was briefed by Grant about the Overland Campaign so that Parker could organize the smooth running of the mails during that important end-of-war campaign. In 1868, Grant appointed Parker U.S. Marshal for Virginia. He ensured seating the first African-American on a jury. He dealt with moonshiners who from 1865 to 1869 had had their own way and were sometimes defended by ex-soldiers. The tales of Parker’s experience with counterfeiters and other desperate characters would easily suit a writer of detective novels. He also relates some interesting details about his acquaintance with Frederick Douglass. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

"The eleven essays in this volume re-examine common assumptions about the campaign, its major figures, and its significance. Taking advantage of the most recent scholarship and a wide range of primary sources, contributors examine strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the campaign's political repercussions, and the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies. The authors do not always agree with one another, but, taken together, their essays highlight important connections between the home front and the battlefield, as well as ways in which military affairs, civilian experience, and politics played off one another during the campaign."--BOOK JACKET.

This Omnibus ebook contains the two-volume collection of essays, edited by Gary Gallagher, that covers the Shenandoah Valley Campaigns of 1862 and 1864. 1862: This volume explores the Shenandoah Valley campaign, best known for its role in establishing Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's reputation as the Confederacy's greatest military idol. The authors address questions of military leadership, strategy and tactics, the campaign's political and social impact, and the ways in which participants' memories of events differed from what is revealed in the historical sources. In the process, they offer valuable insights into one of the Confederacy's most famous generals, those who fought with him and against him, the campaign's larger importance in the context of the war, and the complex relationship between history and memory. The contributors are Jonathan M. Berkey, Keith S. Bohannon, Peter S. Carmichael, Gary W. Gallagher, A. Cash Koeniger, R. E. L. Krick, Robert K. Krick, and William J. Miller. 1864: Generally regarded as the most important Civil War military operation conducted in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the campaign of 1864 lasted more than four months and claimed more than 25,000 casualties. Beyond the loss of agricultural bounty to the Confederacy and the boost in Union morale a victory would bring, events in the Valley also would affect Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection in the November 1864 presidential canvass. The eleven original essays in this volume reexamine common assumptions about the campaign, its major figures, and its significance. Taking advantage of the most recent scholarship and a wide range of primary sources, contributors consider strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the campaign's political repercussions, and the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies. The contributors are William W. Bergen, Keith S. Bohannon, Andre M. Fleche, Gary W. Gallagher, Joseph T. Glatthaar, Robert E. L. Krick, Robert K. Krick, William J. Miller, Aaron Sheehan-Dean, William G. Thomas, and Joan Waugh. The editor is Gary W. Gallagher.
