Born Of Rebellion
Born of Rebellion will take the reader on a clear and concise journey through the major military events that occurred in what is now West Virginia during the Civil War. From John Brown’s Raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry and the first land battle of the Civil War at Philippi to the Battle of Droop Mountain and the partisan warfare that plagued the newly created state. Born of Rebellion also looks at the contributions of individuals and units whose actions had significant impacts on the war and on the creation of a new state. Jesse Reno, Thomas Jackson, Belle Boyd, and Waitman Willey are among the many individuals discussed. The Road to Statehood will trace the events which led to West Virginia becoming the thirty-fifth state, from the Virginia Secession Convention to the inauguration of the first governor of West Virginia, Arthur Boreman.
They ALL Became Heroes
In early January of 1863, Governor John Andrew, authorized by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, began raising a colored regiment, the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Infantry. The Fifth-Fifth Massachusetts Infantry and Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry would soon follow. Despite initial doubts, these men would prove themselves worthy soldiers, and they distinguished themselves during the final two years of the Civil War. They ALL Became Heroes will trace the raising of these hallowed regiments as well as their engagements and service during the war clearly and concisely. The valor and success of the Fifty-fourth paved the way for approximately 180,000 negroes to enlist and help bring the Civil War to a conclusion.
