Upon the passage of the troops into the armory, and the closing of the armory doors, the street was left full of noisy, purposeless, men, wo men and children, without any leading spirit or object. At this point, again, had His Honor the Mayor, or any civil mag istrate, been present, and given the Police orders, they would have cleared the street upon the instant. But I regret to say again His Honor the Mayor was not present, nor did any al derman or civil magistrate present himself to act in the prem ises. Every thing seemed at loose ends. 'a few fearless, de termined policemen could have quelled and quieted every ri otous demonstration made up to 8 o'clock. At this time the mob appeared to have no special grievance or object in view no allusions to the hardships of' the draft were made by them no wrongs were complained of no special acts of violence were proposed no concert of action was had; the number of full grown men was small and not one in twenty probably were liable to the draft nor do I think they knew one had taken place two thirds of them up to this time being women and children but like all masses brought together without any definitiye aim, they surged to and fro like the waves of the ocean. They seemed to be prompted more by a love of fun than a desire for serious mischief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGetting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.
