New Market Heights is one of the more-important but lesser-known battles of the Civil War. And today, you and I have the chance to preserve another 22 acres ( adding to the 65 acres we have saved there previously), ensuring that the story of that battle will never be forgotten. The property is a crucial 22-acre tract in the heart of this battlefield outside of Richmond. One glance at your battle map should confirm the importance of securing this hallowed ground, which would be ripe for a residential developer to swoop in, buy it, and get it zoned for a subdivision of new houses, as has already happened all over the booming Richmond area. The cost is $260,000, and there is a non-historic house on the tract (which will cost about $20,000 to remove). We have applied for a $130,000 grant from the Virginia battlefield protection program - 50% of the purchase price - so the Trust would still need to come up with $130,000 to save it. Still, that means that every $1.00 you give to help purchase this land will be doubled, and that's a great return on your preservation investment! But if you are like most people, you may not know the history of this battle as well as you know others. Let me help fill in the gaps: In the pre-dawn hours of September 29, 1864, as part of General Ulysses S. Grant's efforts to menace both Richmond and Petersburg and dislodge General Robert E. Lee's army from literally miles of entrenchments, the eastern arm of the Federal Army of the James's two-pronged attack (part of the larger Battle of Chaffin's Farm) swept toward New Market Heights. They faced a small but determined Confederate brigade of infantry, comprised of Texans and Arkansans, and some dismounted Confederate cavalry of the Hampton Legion (Virginians and South Carolinians) added a little strength to the entrenched defenders. The USCT troops crossed the lower branch of Four Mile Creek on this land and surged northward toward the crest, toward the left of the Confederate line. Connecticut and New Hampshire regiments also plunged across the land we are working to save today. Confederate artillery harassed the advance the entire distance, and attackers fell in droves as they attempted to maneuver through extensive obstructions the Confederates had placed before their position. After several attempts, the Union advance finally seized the hilltop as the Confederates fell back to another prepared position. For a moment, it seemed that the road to Richmond was open, but the Union forces were not able to capitalize on their victory. Some historians think the war could have ended in October of 1864, not six months - and tens of thousands of additional casualties - later. As it was, for the entire battle, which comprised of several different actions over three days, there were more than 4,400 casualties on both sides. For actions all across the battle lines at New Market Heights, 14 Medals of Honor were awarded to men in the USCT brigades for their morning's work, all of them for conspicuous demonstrations of heroism and bravery under fire. Remember, there were only 15 Medals of Honor awarded to USCT soldiers during the entire Civil War. After the battle, Sgt. Maj , Christian Fleetwood - one of those USCT soldiers who received one of those 14 Medals, described the carnage in his diary: "When the charge was started, our color guard was full ; two sergeants and ten corporals. Only one of the twelve came off that field on his own feet. Most of them are there still. .. .It was a deadly hailstorm of bullets sweeping men down as hail-stones ,.. sweep the leaves from trees ... .It was very evident that there was too much work cut out for our two regiments .... We struggled through two lines of abatis, a few getting through the palisades, but it was sheer madness .... " It seems to me that this is a story that few people know, one that must be told, and one that is best told on the ground where many of those honors were earned, especially when we can DOUBLE the power of your generosity! Will you help tell that crucial story? Will you help the Trust raise the $130,000 we will need to match the anticipated grant from Virginia, plus the $20,000 we will need to remove the modem house and restore the land to what it looked like on September 29, 1864? I hope so, because otherwise, this hallowed ground could end up as the newest subdivision of modem houses (probably called something appalling like "Battlefield Heights") and cul-de-sacs on the outskirts of rapidly expanding Richmond! And to the extent you can budget your giving for the rest of this year, I hope you will agree that together you and I are making tremendous strides in achieving the mission you want to accomplish most: Saving America's most important and threatened hallowed ground. I need your help on another important matter as well. Frankly, these days, it is getting harder and harder to find new members. Fewer people are joining organizations like the Trust, and it also seems that fewer and fewer people are even interested in American history! So, I would like to try something new in our mailings, on our website, and in our social media. Maybe people are tired of hearing from me all of the time, so would you please do me honor of writing out - just as if you were speaking to someone who was considering joining our great cause - why you are proud to be a supporter of the American Battlefield Trust? Is it the great battle maps? Is it our informative members-only magazine, Hallowed Ground? Or is it, as I suspect, the incredible satisfaction you get from knowing that you are helping to save our country's history for future generations? I'd be eternally grateful for any testimonial you could provide today. Then, with your permission, I'd like to be able to use your comments to encourage new prospective members to join our cause.

    Help Preserve the Heritage of America Save the Morris Island Lighthouse “I can think of no other edifi ce constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve. They weren’t built for any other purpose. - George Bernard Shaw Whether South Carolina is your home; whether you simply love lighthouses; or whether you are an American who seeks to save our remaining historical treasures, your help is earnestly needed. As you may know, the Morris Island Lighthouse has a damaged foundation and may fall if stabilization steps are not taken soon. Thanks to years of beach erosion, made worse by the construction of the Charleston jetties which were completed in 1897, the site of the lighthouse has been steadily eroded by the Atlantic Ocean. The exposure has allowed an infi ltration of shipworms to infest the timber pile & grillage base of the lighthouse tower. The following pages will acquaint you with, the history of Morris Island and its light- houses. You will also learn in more detail about the current condition of the structure and the state approved engineering plan to save the lighthouse from collapse. Finally, you will have the opportunity to evaluate the phased plan for its preservation and budget to accomplish each phase. Our recent completion of Phase 1 on March 28, 2008 puts us squarely on track to ensure our enjoyment of this historical treasure for many years to come. 1 2 The Lighthouse When you look at the Morris Island Light- house today you are seeing a landmark so rich in history that it has become an integral part of America’s heritage.

  • Regiment Assignments
    :51 AM Tue Jan 8 ■II -:- 52% I mrlinfo.org James Matthew Townsend (1841-1913) James M. Townsend was born August 18, 1841 in Gallipolis, Ohio, the son of William and Mary Ann Townsend. He attended the public schools in Oxford, Ohio, and at an early age began preaching in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1863, anxious to help emancipate his race, he enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers -- the first black regiment to enter military service. Townsend remained on active duty until the end of the Civil War. Upon returning home he attended Oberlin Academy, a preparatory high school operated by Oberlin College, for two years. Then he moved to Evansville, Indiana, where he was a school principal and continued his religious studies. In 1871 he was ordained a deacon. During the next fifteen years he held pastorates in several Indiana cities, among them Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and Richmond. In 1876 Townsend was elected assistant secretary of the A.M.E. Church's national conference; two years later he was named missionary secretary of the church. In that capacity he traveled abroad several times. He was chosen in 1881 as a delegate to an ecumenical conference in London, England. He moved to Richmond, and in 1885 was elected a state legislator on the Republican ticket, only the second African-American to be elected. Townsend was a vigorous advocate of civil rights for blacks while in the General Assembly. He introduced a bill to abolish all distinctions of race in state laws -- including marriage and the militia. It failed, but Townsend's pleas for equal justice did produce a bill banning descrimination in public places.

General:—The continued occupation and activity of the enemy on Folly Island, may reasonably lead us to expect an attack from that direction, sooner or later, unless we are thor- oughly prepared to receive it. What their force is we have no means of ascertaining, and from the great reduction in our numbers it is impossible to employ scouting parties in such strength as to furnish an approximation. Steamers are seen to communicate with them from time to time ; but whether they bring or carry away troops, or whether they are merely supply vessels, are matters of doubt. From personal observation, I have the honor to state that the preparations which are going on under the Engineer Depart- ment, for communication with, and the defence of Morris Island, are dilatory, and will not be finished according to pre- sent appearances for a long period. The bridge over the first creek south of Fort Johnson is commenced ; the ferry arrange- ments over Light House Creek, and the causewavs over The Soft Marsh are only started.

    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > Civil War and Reconstruction (1860-1876) > A Soldier's Life > Rose O'Neal Greenhow to Jefferson Davis Rose O'Neal Greenhow to Jefferson Davis [1] Share it now! Rose O'Neal Greenhow was a well-connected widow and prominent hostess in Washington, D.C. before aligning herself with the Confederacy and solidifying her legacy as a Confederate spy. Below is an excerpt of a letter she wrote to Confederate President Jefferson Davis where she discusses past battles and current plans and sentiments about Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston July 16th [1863] To The President My dear Sir. I arrived here yesterday (Wednesday) at noon rather after a fatiguing travel from Richmond, not stoping by the wayside long enough to wash my face. ... The impression here that Charleston is in great danger is sustained by the opinion of the Military Authorities. I saw Genrl. Beauregard who came to call upon me, and had a very long conversation with him, and he is deeply impressed with the gravity of the position. He says that three months since he called upon the planters to send him 2000 negro's to work upon the fortifications [2] at Morris Island and other points and that he could only get one hundred, and that they would not listen to his representations as to the threatened danger. That he considered the late successes against the Yankee Iron Clads, as a grave misfortune, as the people in despite of his protests to the contrary have been lulled into a fatal security -- That the Yankees are in force upon a position of Morris Island from which it will be impossible to dislodge them, as they are protected by the sea and marsh on one side and by their Iron Clads on the other that we must eventually abandon the portion of the Island which they now occupy, but that he is erecting works on James Island which will command those works, which he will destroy and render it impossible for them to reconstruct.
