During an 1865 raid through North Carolina, Major General George Stoneman missed capturing the fleeing Jefferson Davis only by a matter of hours, timing somewhat typical of Stoneman's life and career. This biography provides an in-depth look at the life and military career of Major General George Stoneman, beginning with his participation in the 2,000-mile march of the Mormon Battalion and other western expeditions. The main body of the work focuses on his Civil War service, during which he directed the progress of the Union cavalry and led several pivotal raids on Confederate forces. In spite of Stoneman's postwar career as military governor of Virginia and governor of California, his life was marked by his inability to reach ultimate success in war or politics, necessitating a discussion of his weaknesses as well as his achievements as a commander and a politician. Period photographs are included.

The dramatic story of the cavalrymen tasked with capturing Jefferson Davis, and the terror and plunder that followed. In the spring of 1865, George Stoneman’s cavalry division departed Salisbury, North Carolina, with one objective in mind: returning home. However, after the collapse of the Confederacy, the mounted division was ordered to apprehend the exiled Confederate president Jefferson Davis, even if it meant “follow[ing] him to the ends of the earth.” By May, the raid had transformed into an uphill struggle of frustration, pillage, revenge, terror and wavering loyalty to the flag as the troopers crashed down on the civilian populations that lay in their path with demonical ferocity. Taking into account local folklore and traditions surrounding the raid, historian Beau Blackwell follows the column’s course as it sacks the city of Asheville, canvasses the Palmetto State, plunders Greenville, terrorizes Anderson, and ultimately tramples the soil of Georgia.

In the spring of 1865, Federal major general George Stoneman launched a cavalry raid deep into the heart of the Confederacy. Despite its geographic scope, Stonemans 1865 raid failed in its primary goal of helping to end the war. Based on exhaustive research in thirty-four repositories in twelve states and from more than 200 books and newspapers, Hartleys book tells the complete story of Stonemans 1865 raid for the first time.

Striking out from Knoxville, Tennessee in late March of 1865, Major General George Stoneman unleashed his cavalry division upon Southern Appalachia intent on "leaving nothing for the Rebellion to stand upon." The raiders wreaked havoc on government stores, civilian property and indispensable infrastructure, dashing all hope for the dying Confederacy's stand on the rugged peaks of the Blue Ridge. They eventually trampled through five southern states, reduced to ashes one of the last major prisons in the south and helped pursue the renegade president. But much more than wanton destruction, their story is one of hardship, redemption and retribution. Taking into account the local folklore of the Raid, this volume traces the column's course as it departed Tennessee, penetrated Southwestern Virginia and stormed the North Carolina Piedmont.

Excerpt from Reports to Hon. George Stoneman, Governor of California, on Certain Claims of the State of California Against the United States: November 1, 1878, to November 1, 1886 Dear Sir: I have the honor to submit you a report upon the several claims of the State of California against the United States, for which I have been heretofore appointed agent and counsel, and for all of which I have been so acting for a period covering the eight years last past, to wit: from November 1, 1878, to November 1, 1886. I have from time to time during said period made to you and to your predecessor, and to the present State Surveyor-General and Adjutant-General of the State of California, and to their predecessors in office, sundry detailed reports of my acts in all these premises, and have addressed you and them from time to time such proper communications thereon as enabled you and them to keep au courant with all proceedings had therein as the same transpired. Yet, in order, at the termination of your administration as Governor of the State of California, that you may have full information on all these matters, and for the purpose of your laying the same before the Legislature at its next session, and in view of the importance to the people of California of sundry of these several claims and of many circumstances connected therewith, and especially for the purpose of having an authentic record of the history of all thereof for future reference, in so far as my agency in any of these premises has been or may be hereafter concerned, I deem it proper to now submit you a general summary, covering each of said claims as represented by me during the eight years last past. These several claims by me represented, as agent and counsel for the State of California, are as follows, to wit: First - The five per centum of the net proceeds of the cash sales of the public lands in California made by the United States subsequent to the date of her admission into the Union - September 9, 1850 - and not heretofore paid to the State of California by the United States. Second - The refunding by the United States to California her quota of the direct tax levied by the United States under the Act of Congress approved August 5, 1861, and not heretofore reimbursed the State of California by the United States. Third - The refunding by the United States to California the moneys heretofore by her expended on account of the Modoc Indian war, in north California, in 1872 and 1873, and not heretofore reimbursed the State of California by the United States. Fourth - The refunding by the United States to California the moneys heretofore by her expended on account of Indian (other than Modoc) hostilities therein, and upon the borders thereof, between September 9, 1850, and June 27, 1882, and not heretofore reimbursed the State of California by the United States.

Ben Fuller Fordney's Stoneman at Chancellorsville is the first comprehensive history to recognize the full impact of what, until now, was viewed simply as an offshoot of Joseph Hooker's Chancellorsville offensive. Valuable to the Army of the Potomac for both its morale-boosting and experience-gaining-aspects, Stoneman's raid ranks as one of the significant precursors to the turning point of the War in the East. It accomplished much more than hitherto believed, diverting George Pickett and John Bell Hood from where Robert E.
