5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Cause By yonder "My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field by Charles Carlelon Coffin", an excellent book decribing the battles that involved soldiers on land as well as the gunboats. Most of the Civil War books decribes the action on land and donot speak of the importance of the water assistance by the gunboats. It appears that the Southern States were preparing for war doing the term of President Buchanan, as his secretary of war was stashing materials, and equipment from the Union in preparation for the Civil War.After the Southern States left the Union their main goal was to keep the Mississippi open as a river avenue for travel and for economics. The battles in this book decribes the ousting of the rebels from the rivers by the Union armies in order to maintain a gateway to the South. With the taking of Fort Henry, Fort Donelson and winning the battle at Shiloh the Union was able to penetrate the South. In the meantime foot soldiers were able to able to contain Murfreesboro, TN and chase Gen. Bragg to Chattanooga, TN. Chattanooga was important because it had several trains carry supplies to the South. The railways of Chattanooga was commonly known as the Gateway to the South. The Northern Army aim was to isolate the Southern people's waterways and railways, therefore limiting commerce and invasions of the rebels in Northern States.This book is an excellent source of information about battles as well as information about some of the regular citizens of the South.SPWars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous PlacesThe WarsEmpire and Honor (Honor Bound)Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. An interesting, quick read By D. D. LeDu This book is an account of First Bull Run, Forts Henry and Donaldson, Shilo and New Madrid. Coffin was present as a journalist (not a soldier) at all but Shilo, at which he arrived immediately after the battle. The book includes his observations and first-hand accounts he accumulated."My Days and Nights" was written for young readers and published in 1887. It includes a great deal of propaganda and is not, in a true sense, a history. It is fascinating, regardless, for two reasons.Firstly, it tells you much about the attitudes of the time. The authors description of Southerners, for example, is nothing but negative stereotypes. The rah-rah nature of some of the accounts appear embarrassing to the modern reader. However, it is important to understand what people believed at the time if one wishes to understand their motives and decisions.Secondly, modern historians tend to overlook items or events they consider mundane or irrelevant. Books written close to the events tend to include interesting details that cannot be learned any other way.The Kindle edition does not include the maps referred to by the author. If you are a Civil War buff this is not important -- you most likely know more than enough to follow the narrative. If not, then it would be best to have a general history at hand for reference.I enjoyed this book. It is a quick, easy read that is also entertaining.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field by Charles Carleton Coffin By CDP and his Amazon Habit of purchases! ! This is a good first hand account of the Civil War by one of those who fought in the field. "My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field by Charles Carlelon Coffin" reads long, but is an excellent book that sounds like free hand writing that decribes the battles on land as well as the river fighting with some first hand accounting of the munitions acquired and utilized by the two armies defending the Mississippi River and the Battlements thereon. This may well be one of the best accounts of both the North and South battles to keep the Mississippi River open for transport.The Southern States prepared for war prior to the fighting by stealing provisions and armament during the final months of the Buchanan's time as his secretary of war stealing materials and military equipment from the US Military in preparation for the Civil War. Although this was a awkward read for me, it is still an excellent source of information concerning the prewar and activities of the Southern Citizenry.
