Paperback. Zustand: New. Sailing with Farragut shows readers the war through the recollections of Bartholomew Diggins, a young sailor who fought under U.S. Admiral David G. Farragut in the battles for control of the Mississippi River. A recent Irish immigrant, Diggins joined the crew of the USS Hartford, Admiral Farragut's flagship, at age seventeen and served for three years. Diggins's memoir, one of a very few writtenby a sailor on either side, allows readers to experience a Northern seamen's daily existence and the perilous battles he endured during the Civil War. Wounded during the first foiled approach to Vicksburg, Diggins, his side paralyzed by a guerrilla's bullet from shore, richly describes the dangers and damage possible to a ship on the Mississippi. He recalls how action could suddenly shift from the mundane, like washing the decks, to a life-or-death skirmish with a hidden enemy as his ship passed rebel towns.Additionally, Diggins describes how surreal war can be, writing of dark nights of smoke and fire using only the flash of the enemy's guns to steer clear of the treacherous banks, of desperate crowds of slaves clambering for safe passage, and of a fire raft 150 feet long, filled with burning pine knots, set on a course of destruction among the Union's ships. Each chapter features an introduction by editor George S. Burkhardt, who adds careful research and useful background information to the tales that follow. For historians of the Civil War, this book will deepen their understanding of brown-water warfare and put a face to the stories of victory and loss. From the bloody skirmishes around Vicksburg to Farragut's disaster at Port Hudson and on to his victory at Mobile Bay, Sailing with Farragut gives readers a vivid view of life on the Mississippi during the Civil War and keen insight into the leader, officer, and man that was Admiral David Farragut.…

very good dust-jacket, very good brown cloth. previous owner's name stamp on front endpaper. BURKHARDT, GEORGE S. Confederate rage, Yankee wrath: no quarter in the Civil War. Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2007, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xiii, 338pp., . "This work proves the existence of a de facto Confederate policy of giving no quarter to captured black combatants during the Civil War - killing them instead of treating them as prisoners of war. Rather than looking at the massacres as a series of discrete and random events, this work examines each as part of a ruthless but standard practice." "Author George S. Burkhardt details a fascinating case that the Confederates followed a consistent pattern of murder against the black soldiers who served in Northern armies after Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. He shows subsequent retaliation by black soldiers and further escalation by the Confederates, including the execution of some captured white Federal soldiers, those proscribed as cavalry raiders, foragers, or house-burners, and even some captured in traditional battles." "Further disproving the notion of Confederates as victims who were merely trying to defend their homes, Burkhardt explores the motivations behind the soldiers' actions and shows the Confederates' rage at the sight of former slaves - still considered property, not men - fighting them as equals on the battlefield." "Burkhardt's narrative approach recovers important dimensions of the war that until now have not been fully explored by historians, effectively describing the systemic pattern that pushed the conflict toward a black flag, take-no-prisoners struggle." - CONTENTS: Emancipation and Black soldiers -- The southern perspective -- First encounters -- Milliken's Bend -- Fort Wagner -- Olustee -- The Yazoo to Suffolk -- Fort Pillow -- The Camden expedition -- The Plymouth pogrom -- Brice's Cross Roads -- The Petersburg Mine -- Mercy and murder -- Saltville -- Murder in the east -- Murder in the west -- Mobile and Selma.
