Smith has established himself as the foremost scholar of the complex and critically important struggle for control of the Mississippi Valley in 1862 and 1863. With this latest installment of what will ultimately be a five-volume narrative history of the Vicksburg Campaign—in addition to an already published three-volume history of operations along the Tennessee River—Smith has committed what will amount to several thousand narrative pages on the topic. Early Struggles for Vicksburg is his third published volume on the campaign and the first chronologically. Smith makes clear that this work is also a much-needed addition to the heretofore limited historiography on the events leading up to the Vicksburg siege, offering the only full academic history of the varied actions that occurred in late 1862 to remedy the “gaping hole in the literature” (p. xvi). Smith explores the critically important fall and early winter operations in which United States and Confederate forces squared off in a series of multifaceted raids, armed movements, and minor battles. Until now, this series of events received only cursory attention by historians, typically relegated as a preface to the main show at Vicksburg. Smith seeks to correct this oversight by examining, among much else, Nathan Bedford Forrest’s raid, Earl Van Dorn’s raid, and the battles of Chickasaw Bayou and Parker’s Crossroads. Along the way, Smith expertly ties together command decisions at the highest levels and soldier experiences on the ground to provide a comprehensive mosaic of the pivotal last two or so months of 1862.

Clampitt tackles two myths about the post-Civil War South. First, he corrects the Lost Cause narrative concerning Confederate demobilization during the summer of 1865. That myth stressed that thousands of “penniless and starving” Confederate soldiers were forced by their haughty and vindictive conquerors to walk hundreds of miles home, helped only by “proud southern civilians” (p. 2). But Clampitt shows that the situation was much more complex. Second, the book contradicts scholars who claim that the Lost Cause surfaced fifteen years after the war as part of a broader movement of commemoration following Reconstruction. Clampitt instead contends that the Lost Cause was the immediate coping mechanism created by Confederate veterans in 1865. To set the record straight, he examined some 1,100 first-hand accounts, a mix of wartime letters and diaries, postwar memoirs, and other reports. Based on his evidence, he argues that while “the war itself solidified the common principles of Confederate soldiers and rendered them perpetual Rebels,” the experiences of “defeat and demobilization reinforced that identity and hardened the recalcitrant, unapologetic attitudes of southern veterans” (p. 14). In the first section of the book, Clampitt details both systems put into place by Union and Confederate leadership to facilitate demobilization and the subsequent failures of those plans. Upon Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Clampitt notes, the Union Army worked to distribute parole papers to Confederate veterans, which would allow them to draw rations from the army while travelling home. Neither side wished for chaos or prolonged demobilization. Where available, the Union facilitated river and railroad transportation for returning soldiers and even gave mules to some. But several factors complicated these plans. The main Confederate armies, for example,","PeriodicalId":40382,"journal":{"name":"Register of the Kentucky Historical Society","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66725449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Imprisoned on the charge of fatally poisoning a neighboring mistress, Jane had languished in jail for over a month awaiting trial. Believing the man outside to be the enslaver’s widowed husband, George House Porter, she called out to him, not knowing that it was in fact the jailor, who intended to trick her into admitting to the murder. Deceived by false promises of a pardon from local authorities, Jane allegedly confessed. Following her initial conviction in the Henry County Circuit Court, Jane appealed three different times to the Kentucky Court of Appeals and became the first enslaved defendant to present a case before the state’s highest court. After two reversals and remands, the court ultimately upheld her final conviction from the Owen County Circuit Court. Governor Beriah Magoffin issued a warrant of execution to the Owen Country sheriff in 1860 yet received a letter from the jailor in response.

Held in bondage in Garrard County, Kentucky, with her four children and members of her extended family, she experienced firsthand the danger of Black resistance. In 1862, Burdett witnessed her enslaver, Smith Alford, sell four of her relatives into the Deep South, and he threatened to do the same to her brother the following summer.1 Reacting to his enslaved people’s continuous efforts to free themselves during the Civil War, Alford clung to the vestiges of his slaveholding power by separating family members and inflicting violence on those who remained. In 1864, the recruitment of Black Kentuckians into the federal army created more opportunities for the liberation of Burdett’s family. This still came at a great risk as Unionist slaveholders stubbornly resisted federal emancipation policies. In September, Clarissa’s husband Elijah Burdett escaped his enslaver, Hiram Burdett, to enlist in the Twelfth United States Colored Heavy Artillery at Camp Nelson in Jessamine County. Despite having a different enslaver, Alford punished Clarissa for her husband’s actions.2 Though the Burdetts’","PeriodicalId":40382,"journal":{"name":"Register of the Kentucky Historical Society","volume":"120 1","pages":"275 - 299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46911161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
