Narrative of the Second Arctic Expedition Made by Charles F. Hall

Narrative of the Second Arctic Expedition Made by Charles F. Hall

Charles Francis Hall

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
The American explorer Charles Francis Hall (1821–71) made two voyages to the Arctic to determine the fate of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. While there, he lived with Inuit, learning their language and adopting their way of life. Edited after his death and published in 1879, this account of his second expedition, from 1864 to 1869, brings the conditions he endured vividly to life. Two punishing sledge journeys to King William Island revealed evidence of Franklin's encampment there, but also the stark fact that rumours of survivors were unfounded. The work, which contains a number of fine engravings and maps, also includes appendices presenting Hall's detailed scientific observations and notes of his conversations with the Inuit, which disclosed evidence of cannibalism among Franklin's crew. Based on his earlier expedition, Hall's Life with the Esquimaux (1864) is also reissued in this series.

The Civil War Letters of Colonel Charles F. Johnson, Invalid Corps

The Civil War Letters of Colonel Charles F. Johnson, Invalid Corps

University of Massachusetts Press
2004
nidottu
Chronicles the untold story of disabled combat veterans who continued to serve in the Union Army; Organized in May 1863 to meet the Union Army's growing manpower needs, the Invalid Corps - later renamed the Veteran Reserve Corps - was a unique military unit. With more than twenty-four regiments of troops, nearly all of them men disabled by illness or combat wounds, it was at one point twice as large as the entire pre-war United States Army. During four years of service its troops enforced the draft, guarded prisoners and vital outposts, protected rail lines and supply depots, and served as military police in cities all across the country. Members of the Corps escorted President Lincoln's body home to Illinois, and after the war its officers formed the nucleus of the new Freedman's Bureau. This volume brings together some 150 letters written by Colonel Charles F. Johnson, an officer who served with the 18th Veteran Reserve Corps after sustaining debilitating wounds during the Seven Day's Battles in June 1862. Edited with an introduction by Fred Pelka, the letters describe the day-to-day circumstances of ""The Cripple Brigade,"" as it was derisively called, as well as guerrilla warfare in Missouri, combat in Virginia, and barracks life in Washington, D.C. Johnson was a keen observer of his nation at war, and his correspondence with his wife Mary is by turns literate and comic, objective and personal. In his introduction and annotations, Pelka provides a detailed history of the Invalid Corps and explores the experience of disability in nineteenth-century America. He looks at how the nation responded to the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of newly disabled young men, and traces how members of the Invalid Corps fought not only to restore the Union but also to retain their dignity as Americans and as human beings.

The Policy of the Young Negro by Charles F. Graves

The Policy of the Young Negro by Charles F. Graves

But with reference to the policy of the young American Negro there is very n ucl idle and even sometinme erroneous specul tion. He is perhaps not thoroughly known by his critics, not even by those who touch his life in various ways for me cenary pur poses. The real life and policy of the young Negro must be unselfishly embraced, free from the bane of prejudice and all of is nu holy and corrupting influences. And it is with this purpose in view that we desire to candidly lay before you the policy of the young Negro. From the foregoing it is not strange then that his acts, feelings andyearnings should crystalize into a policy distinctly his own and yet tempered by all of the old time savory influences that hover around the faithful fathers and mothers of the days of slavery. And too it is just to the American people of which he forms a part that his policy be known and made bare before them.In the first place let us qualify the young Negro as that class, which is twang in years, who knows nothing of the clllolls require ments of bondage, that class though old in age, yet fresh and rich in thought and material, that class which is meeting the requirements of all thoughtful and sane people, that class which is filling. The schools with patient and diligent students the churches with devout and humble worship ers, the home with neat efficient and industri ous inmates, that class which is reaching out into the business, financial and the com mercial world endeavoring to find standing room, that class which is inhabiting the lands and preparing a permanent place of resi dence for himself and his kind, that class of Negroes who go through life with his head high up and his heart swelling with the patri otic blood in it conscious of the fact that God made him to be a man.
