A Literary History of the American West

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 1987

  • Publisher: TCU Press

Literary histories, of course, do not have a reason for being unless there exists the literature itself. This volume, perhaps more than others of its kind, is an expression of appreciation for the talented and dedicated literary artists who ignored the odds, avoided temptations to write for popularity or prestige, and chose to write honestly about the American West, believing that experiences long knowns to be of historical importance are also experiences that need and deserve a literature of importance.

The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1861-1865

  • Publisher: McFarland

The many regiments that fought in the Civil War each had their own stories to tell about what they saw, smelled, tasted, heard and felt while serving in war. The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment of the Old Vermont Brigade was one of these. This regiment saw its first combat at the Battle of Bull Run and fought on to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. This richly illustrated work draws from service, pension and court-martial records, and personal letters and diaries to portray the junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates of the regiment as they were in battle, on the march, and in camp. Some were heroes, like Private William W. Noyes, who was awarded the Medal of Honor, and others were not, like Private George E. Blowers, who was publicly executed for desertion. A roster of the 1,858 men who served in the regiment is also provided.
