This is the fascinating story of Captain William Duncan, who was born 07/20/1840 in Scotland, near Edinburgh. He came to North America by way of Canada, then settled in Elgin, Illinois. In 1860 he graduated from Elgin Academy and shortly thereafter enlisted to serve in the Thirty Sixth Illinois Infantry of the Union Army. During the war he distinguished himself for valor on many occasions, most notably while serving under General O.O. Howard during Sherman's March to the Sea. When the Union Army reached Savannah, Georgia they found themselves cut -off from their supplies. When ordered by Sherman to locate the supply ships, Howard dispatched Captain Duncan and two others to contact the Union fleet. The journey took three days and at one point Captain Duncan floated by an armed blockade in a hollowed log. Captain Duncan located a Union gunboat that carried him to Hilton Head Island. Supply ships were sent to Savannah, Georgia and Duncan continued on to Washington to deliver news of the successful "March to the Sea" to Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton. After the war, Duncan returned to Elgin, Illinois to marry Lucy Harwood before moving to the Dakota Territory where his brothers had already settled. In 1876, he was elected to the legislature of the Dakota Territory and re-elected once again in 1884. Duncan and his wife, Lucy, passed away on the same day, February 4th, 1925. This book has a fascinating story to tell about this "Forgotten Man" who gave so much to his country and received little recognition for his valor. This book is volume one of a series of upcoming books the author, George Stoy plans to write in the near future about other "Forgotten M
Michael Howard's ancestry, part Quaker, part German Jew, made him unpromising material for a commission in the Brigade of Guards. The three years he spent with his regiment were equally inappropriate perparation for the university chairs that he went on to hold at London, Oxford and Yale. In this autobiography he describes how these varied strands in his life came together. First there was a childhood in a world of privilege almost as remote from today as is that of the Roman Antonines. Then there came war service in Italy, a mixture of terror, tedium and Lucullan enjoyment. Finally, he was to persue an academic career in which he would pioneer the study both of war as an aspect of 'total history' and of international relations in the nuclear age. In addition to holding the Regius Chair of Modern History at Oxford he was to play a leading role in founding both the International Institute for Strategic Studies and the world-famous Department of War Studies at King's College London. His works (some translated into sizxteen languages) have him the Duff Cooper Prize,the Wolfson History Prize and the Chesney Gold Medal of the Royal United Services Institute.He ended up as a Fellow of the British Academy, a Companion of Honour and a member of the Order of Merit. So the discordant elements in his background and experience eventually harmonized very well. Professor Sir Michael Howard was Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford and Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. Amongst his most celebrated books are The Franco-Prussian War, War in European History and The Invention of Peace.
