Ormsby Macknight Mitchel, Astronomer and General
Excerpt from Ormsby Macknight Mitchel, Astronomer and General: A Biographical NarrativeI would prefer that this work had fallen into abler hands. Another might have given a more attractive view, but I am convinced that few could have spared the time and taken the trouble for the search and study required to give a faithful and correct one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Battle Rages Higher
" The Battle Rages Higher tells, for the first time, the story of the Fifteenth Kentucky Infantry, a hard-fighting Union regiment raised largely from Louisville and the Knob Creek valley where Abraham Lincoln lived as a child. Although recruited in a slave state where Lincoln received only 0.9 percent of the 1860 presidential vote, the men of the Fifteenth Kentucky fought and died for the Union for over three years, participating in all the battles of the Atlanta campaign, as well as the battles of Perryville, Stones River and Chickamauga. Using primary research, including soldiers’ letters and diaries, hundreds of contemporary newspaper reports, official army records, and postwar memoirs, Kirk C. Jenkins vividly brings the Fifteenth Kentucky Infantry to life. The book also includes an extensive biographical roster summarizing the service record of each soldier in the thousand-member unit. Kirk C. Jenkins, a descendant of the Fifteenth Kentucky's Captain Smith Bayne, is a partner in a Chicago law firm.
