History of the Rebellion - 1866
“A Military and Naval History of the Rebellion in the United States” by William Jewett Tenney.7/16/24"A Military and Naval History of the Rebellion in the United States" by William Jewett Tenney is a historical work published in 1865 that chronicles the events of the American Civil War[1][2][3].The book provides a comprehensive account of the military and naval operations during the conflict, which was often referred to as "the Rebellion" by Union supporters. Given its publication date of 1865, it was likely one of the earliest comprehensive histories of the war, written shortly after its conclusion[1][2].William Jewett Tenney, the author, was born in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1814[2]. He was a notable American writer and historian who produced several works on various subjects. In addition to this Civil War history, Tenney also wrote a book on "Grammatical Analysis" published in 1866[1].The timing of the book's publication, coming immediately after the end of the Civil War, suggests that it aimed to provide a timely and detailed account of the conflict's military and naval aspects while events were still fresh. It likely covered major battles, campaigns, and strategies employed by both Union and Confederate forces throughout the war.As a "Military and Naval History," the book presumably focused on battlefield engagements, naval operations, and the overall conduct of the war from a strategic perspective. It would have been a valuable resource for readers seeking to understand the full scope of the conflict that had just concluded.Source: Perplexity.aiGabrielle Ly
