George Wynkoop Collection ________________________________________________________________________ Guide to George C. Wynkoop, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Dept. of Pennsylvania Gettysburg College, Musselman Library Special Collections & College Archives Processed by Christopher Gwinn June 2006 MS – 076: George C. Wynkoop, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Dept. of Pennsylvania (2 boxes, .54 cubic feet) Inclusive Date: 1861 Processed by: Christopher Gwinn June 2006 Biography George Campbell Wynkoop was born on February 27th, 1806 near Brookford, Montgomery County, Maryland to Nicholas and Sara H. Campbell Wynkoop. Residing in Pennsylvania for the majority of his life, he was married to Mary Ann Walker on March 24, 1831 at Orwigsburg, PA. Together they had some thirteen children, the oldest Nicholas, was born in 1831, the youngest, William, was born in 1858. At the time of the outbreak of the American Civil War his residence was listed at Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Being involved in the pre-war militia his military experience got him a commission as a Brigadier General of Pennsylvania Volunteers, awarded to him by Governor Andrew Curtin of that state. Thereafter he took command of a brigade of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, officially designated as the 2nd Brigade of General William Keim’s division in Major General Robert Patterson’s Department of Pennsylvania. These early regiments, the first to answer Lincoln’s call for volunteers, agreed to serve for a period of three months and then be mustered out. Due to the inexperience of both the volunteers and the commanders the three month enlistments did not result in the culmination of the war or the defeat of the Confederate army, in all accomplishing very little. The government soon abandoned the three month enlistments in favor of ones which extended for three years or for the duration of the war. Wynkoop’s service as a Brigadier General was as short and fruitless as the three month enlistments which he commanded. The majority of his time, as attested to by his collected papers, was spent in trying to obtain for his command proper clothing and equipment. With the exception of a brief foray in Virginia most of the three month enlistments spent their army service in training camps in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The three month enlistments of most men expired in July and early August, 1861. Many of the men in Wynkoop’s former command volunteered for service in the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry. William Sipes, one of the men responsible for the recruitment of the regiment lobbied for the commissioning of George Wynkoop as Colonel. The placement was granted, Wynkoop receiving a Colonelcy in the United States Volunteers, commanding the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry with William Sipes as his second in command. The 7th Pennsylvania was mustered in over a three month period beginning in September of 1861 and continuing on until November of that year at Camp Cameron, outside of Harrisburg. The 7th received its colors from Gov. Curtin on December 8th and left the next day for the Department of the Ohio, stationed at that time in Louisville, Kentucky. In January of 1862 Wynkoop led the regiment to Nashville where it was divided into three battalions and spread out through that portion of the state. Wynkoop was involved in a number of skirmishes and engagements mostly with the Confederate cavalry of Nathan Bedford Forrest and John Hunt Morgan. His son, Battalion Adjutant Nicholas Wynkoop was killed in action at Gallatin, Tennessee on August 21, 1862. Wynkoop spent the remainder of his career in the Union army serving in this capacity. He was honorably discharged for disability on June 25, 1863, Lt. Col. William Sipes taking over command of the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Wynkoop spent the remainder of his life in Pottsville, PA with his wife and family. He was elected town sheriff in 1867 on the republican ticket. The regimental history of the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry states that Wynkoop died in 1885. This however is in disagreement with his family Bible which records his death as being on September 29th, 1882 at 4 O’clock in the morning at his home, Morris Addition. He was buried in Pottsville, PA on October 2nd, 1882. Scope and Content The George Wynkoop Papers housed in Special Collections at Gettysburg College date from the period of Wynkoop’s service as a Brigadier General in the three month Pennsylvania Volunteers. The earliest piece in the collection is dated April 14th, 1861 the last is from July 20, 1861 with the exception of an October 15th, 1861 letter regarding Wynkoop’s time as Brigadier General. Over three hundred pieces of correspondence, orders, forms, and daily reports make up the collection. The correspondence and reports come from a variety of locals at which the Department of Pennsylvania set up camp. Locations include Camp Scott and Camp Chambers, Pennsylvania, Hagerstown, Maryland and Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (Today West Virginia). Taken as a whole, the collection attests to the routine of army life and the logistical minutia that goes along with waging a war.

    The One Hundred and Fifty-Third Pennsylvania Volunteers from Northampton County Part One: September to Chancellorsville Formed: September 22nd, 1862 On August 4th, 1862, a request from Washington stated that a quota of 300,000 volunteers. Pennsylvania was able to provide 45,321 volunteers Many men who knew that their involvement in the war was inevitable had been training privately before they got their call. The rst meeting in Easton took place on September 22nd, 1862 & the men stayed in the city for the 23rd & 24th until they boarded a train to Harrisburg, arriving at 10 o’clock in the evening. The men slept in the cars of the train that night before they marched to Camp Curtin. They were introduced to the Army Tents & a reciting of the 91 Psalms with prayer & singing to follow. It was there that they were trained. “We soon became inured to the restraint of army discipline, and eagerly sought the equipment necessary for service” (Page 15 Kiefer). Many men wrote poetry, letters & the artists sketched drawings. There were even men who had brought College Textbooks with which they read to take up the down time of being at Camp Curtin. The author exclaims that they had enough books to ll a small library. The men grew a bit disgruntled at the fact that they were spending time in a type of detention without pay until Col. Glanz stepped in & solved the matter for the men. He was a beloved Colonel & brought a large amount of cheer to the men of the regiment. They received all of their equipment between October 7th & October 11th.

We thank you for your cooperation! INTRODUCTION The National Civil War Museum is the largest museum of its kind in the nation. It portrays the entire story of the American Civil War from start to finish, and on a national scale. Depictions of battles and leaders are impartial and factual, without a bias towards either the Union or Confederate causes. In many cases, the stories are the written and spoken words of the men and women who laughed and cried, lived and died in the American Civil War. It is the story of the war that pitted brother against brother, father against son, American against American. The Museum experience is an intensely personal one. It is also a reminder that many of the issues that divided the nation in 1860 are with us today.

    College ILttirarjj FROM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ' THROUGH £> VICKSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK COMMISSION. RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

  • Generalsecond Bullrun Campaign Under Pope That the Whole Corps Had to Be Detached from the Army of the Potomac for Rest and Recuperation
    PITTSBURGH VOLUNTEERS WITH SICKLES' EXCELSIOR BRIGADE Bruce Sutherland PART 3 Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville Heintzelman's Third Corps had been so badly mauled in the battles on the Peninsula under McClellan and in the GeneralSecond BullRun campaign under Pope that the whole Corps had to be detached from the Army of the Potomac for rest and recuperation. The three divisions of the Corps were assigned to that quiet sector known as the Defenses of Washington. General Hooker's old division, the Second, was placed temporarily under the command of General Grover while Colonel Nelson Taylor commanded the Excelsior Brigade, subject to General Sickles' return. Early in September 1862, the Excelsior regiments were en- camped about two miles southwest of Alexandria near Fort Lyon. They had fallen back from the Chantilly battlefield and as William Wiley of the Friend Rifles describes it, "We only went a short dis- tance beyond that field when we again laid on our arms, and it was raining and very cold. No sleeping was done that night. The next morning we got a loaf of bread and started off again towards Fairfax and then left itand went out scouting through the country until dark when we camped again on a beautiful farm and where we lived well for that night on corn, potatoes and apples. At daylight, the morning of the 3rd, we were on the move towards Alexandria ... J>1 The column moved through thickly wooded country toward the Potomac at Pohick Church and by early afternoon the troops were on the river road which skirted Mount Vernon.
