Thurs Feb 9 James Dufresne: They Met at Appomattox Court

House

“From present indications, the retreat of the enemy is rapidly becoming a rout.” So wrote Philip H. Sheridan to Lt Gen Ulysses S. Grant on April 5, 1865, from Jetersville Depot, , three days after Lee’s army had abandoned the trenches of the fallen cities of Richmond and Petersburg and begun its flight west.

From the start, Grant’s goal was not merely to pursue Lee’s army but to intercept it: to cut it off and prevent Lee from veering south and joining the Confederate army of Joseph Johnston in North Carolina.

Grant wanted to bring this war to a conclusion, so he ordered his two top generals, Sheridan and Sherman, to keep Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia constantly on the move. Lee’s army was in dire straits with very little food and ammunition remaining. Lee had planned to resupply his army at various points along his march west; however, he had little to no success.

Grant had sent Sheridan and his command ahead with orders to destroy any supplies or ammunition that Lee might be able to acquire on his route west. He was also to intercept Lee’s army on its route wherever the time and place would allow. Sheridan did get the opportunity to stop Lee and his army at a place called Appomattox Court House.

Gen Grant had been corresponding with Gen Lee for a couple of days previously while both were on the march. They agreed to meet at Appomattox Court House to work out a plan of action for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. Jim’s talk is on what transpired after Lee and his forces left the trenches around Petersburg and Richmond on their trek west. Grant discovered that Lee had snuck out of the trenches, and so followed him with all his force, which amounted to almost three times the size of Lee’s.

News from Headquarters From the President – Dan Cunningham

February marks the beginning of the 32nd year for the Joshua L. Chamberlain CWRT. Our meeting attendance continues to be strong, as we had 66 people attend our January meeting. This is the third time in five meetings we have had an attendance of 66 people. In the past we would usually have anywhere from 40‐55 people for most meetings. This is great news and one of the reasons we can continue the CWRT.

At that meeting I recognized Walter Chop, who attended the first Chamberlain CWRT in January 1986 and has continued to be a valued member. Also in attendance at our January meeting was Al Obery, who became a member a few meetings later. Al is a past president and he and his wife, Mary, handled the raffle for many years.

I am eternally thankful to Al for telling me about the CWRT on a trip organized by the Pejepscot Historical Society in 1994. This trip followed the career of Joshua Chamberlain through many of the Civil War battles he participated in. When we returned, I attended my first meeting in October 1994 and have been a member ever since.

In addition to Walter and Al, Ken McAfee was also an early member of the CWRT. Ken has been president at least twice and was our treasurer for many years. We all owe Walter, Al, and Ken a big thank you for helping the Round Table get started and for continuing to be members.

I hope to see you at our February meeting. If we have to cancel we will send you an email by noon on the day of the meeting. As always thank you for being members and enabling the CWRT to continue.

Report from the Low Country by Jay Stencil

“Low Country” represents the coastal area roughly from Charleston, SC, to the border of Georgia. This past fall I attended the Low Country Civil War Round Table. The featured speaker was Lou Benfante, local Civil War buff and historian, who spoke about Fort Pulaski, which was built to protect the port of Savanna, GA. It is located near Tybee Island at the entrance to the Savanna River from the Atlantic Ocean. On October 15, 1924, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the fort as a National Monument. In 2009, Robert Redford used the fort for his movie “The Conspirator.” Although this lecture was to have

5

included a tour of the fort, it was postponed due to continued cleanup from hurricane Matthew. Preceding the presentation was a Park Ranger from the fort, who discussed the extensive damage from hurricane Matthew. High tides crested over 12 feet and flooded‐out the fort and its moat surroundings. Every building in the fort was damaged and over 400 trees were downed. The storm knocked out two bridges into the fort, and even knocked down some of the 7‐foot‐ thick walls housing a 32‐pounder cannon. Estimated cost for repairs is $1.8 million, but the US Congress is holding up allocation of the funds. Nevertheless, the fort was re‐opened to the public on a limited basis about 4 weeks after the storm.

Fort Pulaski was named after the Polish Revolutionary War hero, Casmir or Kazimierz Pulaski. He was said to have saved George ’s life at the Battle of Brandywine, PA, and he later died in the Battle of Savanna, GA. It was the that sparked the need for America to protect some of its waterways from invaders by establishing and building a system of 30 coastal forts, including Fort Pulaski. Early in his career Robert E. Lee designed a series of canals to help drain water from the fort. The walls were 7 feet thick, and protected by 32‐pounder Parrot guns. It took from 1829 to 1847 to complete the fort’s truncated hexagonal structure and surrounding moats, as well as fortify it with magazines and cannon. Meantime, Fort Walker and Fort Beauregard at the entrance of Port Royal Sound were also

6 being completed. Neither of those forts stand today, although there is a monument at Fort Walker on Hilton Head Island. In 1860, Georgia seceded from the Union. The Governor seized Fort Pulaski in 1861. Soon after the start of the war at Charleston’s , the began effectively interdicting shipping commerce into southern ports. In November 1861 under the command of Commodore Samuel DuPont, the blockading squadron conducted the largest amphibious landing prior to World War II at Port Royal.

Fort Pulaski under Fire – Frank Leslie’s Illustrated, May 1862.

By April 1862, the Georgians had forgotten to secure Tybee Island nearby Fort Pulaski, which was taken by Union Col Quincy Adams Gillmore from Lorain, OH. He had the advantage of 36 new rifled Parrot cannons with a 4‐ to 5‐mile range that effectively overwhelmed Fort Pulaski. At first, CSA Col Charles H. Olmstead refused to surrender the fort. However, once the long‐ range Union guns began to destroy the fort, he decided to give up. Interestingly, as with the earlier Fort Sumter bombardment, there were few casualties at Fort Pulaski. For his success, Gillmore was promoted to Brigadier General. The war dragged on for another two and a half years before Union forces captured Savanna in December 1864 when Sherman marched to the sea. The story of the Confederate 600 Immortals is noteworthy. They were the starving POW’s held by the Union at Fort Pulaski. This egregious situation took place when both sides in the war were badly mistreating their prisoners. For more on this, you can refer to the monuments erected in their honor at Fort Pulaski.

Over the next few months, work on restoring the fort is expected to continue with volunteer fund raising. Once Congress allocates the necessary repair funds, Fort Pulaski should remain as an important symbol of the Civil War for generations to come.

Jay Stencil is a past president and long‐time member of the JLC CWRT.

Thomas Hamlin Hubbard: Hallowell Boy’s Engineering Skills Help Save the by Noma Petroff

Few people in Brunswick – or even at – are aware of one of the amazing feats of Thomas Hamlin Hubbard, born in Hallowell Maine, Bowdoin class of 1857. They may know that he funded the former Library, Hubbard Hall. They may even know that he funded ’s Artic exploration. But they don’t know how he helped save David Dixon Porter’s squadron from destruction on the Red River in 1864.

8

As it happens, in spring of 1864 General Nathan Banks, sitting in , was thinking of what an amazing job Admiral Porter had done to help Grant capture Vicksburg the preceding summer. He wanted Porter to help him make a run up the Red River, ostensibly to fight Confederates, but Porter suspected it was really a cotton‐stealing mission. He resisted, saying that the water was about to fall, and he didn’t want his fleet to be stranded. But, Banks insisted, “We’ll be there to back you up!” (words to that effect).

So Porter did make the run with 12 gunboats and 20 transports. To make a long story short, sure enough, the river fell, and Porter’s squadron got hung up on the shoals at Alexandria, Louisiana. His boats needed 7 feet of water, but they had only 3 feet. The situation was ominous, especially with ’s Confederates taking pot shots from the shore. Banks was not much help. But at least he did offer a few regiments to help Porter.

Among the officers was Lieutenant Colonel , a civil engineer serving in the 19th Wisconsin. Bailey had lived in logging country, and he presented Porter with a plan to construct wing dams to raise the 758 foot wide river high enough to gets the boats through. Everyone was skeptical, but Porter had no other option. Who could help Colonel Bailey? The ideal assistance would be the 30th Maine volunteers, (of the XIX Corps) lead by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Hubbard.

9

Altogether, 3,000 men worked night and day, cutting trees, tearing down buildings, and digging up rocks to make the dam. At last it was complete and Porter’s boats escaped downriver, to the sound of great cheering from the troops on shore.

The scene was of much too thrilling interest for me truly to describe. Every noise was hushed on board the vessel except the orders of Capt. Langthorn [sic], given in a firm, distinct tone to the Pilots at the wheel.— Thousands of our anxious soldiers were on either bank to witness a success or a catastrophy [sic]. Brass bands had marched up on both sides and were playing, one the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the other the “Battle Cry of Freedom.” Your correspondent was never in such painful suspense as during the few seconds before taking the tremendous slide. He tried to execute a few steps of a hornpipe, but the effort proved a miserable failure. In less time than it takes for you to read this, our bow struck the head of the vortex and a cheer rose from every throat of our men, which was vociferously responded to by the men on shore, but was instantly hushed. With the velocity of the locomotive we took the fearful plunge. The steamer struck the breakers and threw the water quite over her.

But see! She strikes! She groans!—Her bow rises high out of the water, then sinks again, while her motion is checked and her timbers crack with an ominous sound to a sailor. For an instant she is motionless, and the water rolled furiously over her stern and every one felt that wood and iron would go to pieces in a very few seconds. But there! She starts again, she moves, and the noise caused by the rock beneath her passed from stem to sterm [sic] and we dropped into our bearings on the water below, and although the loss of our rudder rendered us unmanageable, if we were not sinking, we were safe. The pumps were sounded but no extra water was found. We struck the bank and a thousand willing hands were ready to grasp our line and make us fast, and a rousing cheer went up for our success. The thing was done ; the Iron Clad Fleet was safe ; for all knew that if we could go over, the rest could, as we were the deepest in the water. The Bands marched back playing lively airs, the crowd dispersed, and we lay at the bank as though nothing had happened. The Prescott Journal of June 11, 1864. https://thecivilwarandnorthwestwisconsin.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/1864‐june‐11‐baileys‐dam‐on‐the‐red‐river/

Porter did not forget Bailey’s help. In gratitude Admiral Porter gave Bailey a $700 sword. The navy presented him with a silver vase. The U.S. Congress formally thanked him and promoted him two grades to the rank of brigadier general. In his report Porter wrote,

The highest honors that the Government can bestow on Colonel Bailey can never repay him for the service he has rendered the country. He has saved the Union a valuable fleet, worth nearly two million dollars, and he has deprived the enemy of a triumph which would have emboldened them to carry on this war a year or two longer.

10

And, Bailey did not forget who had helped him in his project. “Lt. Col. Hubbard received a citation from General Joseph Bailey for his superior engineering techniques, in raising the water level by a series of wing dams, which enabled General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks' fleet to complete its passage safely. He also received a special Commendation in Admiral David Dixon Porter's report for his conduct in aiding the construction of the Red River Dam at Alexandria, Louisiana for the passage of the federal fleet. On May 13, the 30th left for Morganza and went into camp. Lt. Col. Hubbard was promoted to replace Col. Fessenden, as Regimental Commander of the 30th Maine. Col. Fessenden was promoted to Brigade Commander. On July 2, 1864, Thomas H. Hubbard was promoted to Colonel.”

Joseph Bailey, 19th Wisconsin Admiral David Dixon Porter Thomas Hubbard, 30th Maine

There was more work for Hubbard to do. He and the 30th Maine were headed north to help out at Petersburg. By the end of the War he was breveted Brigadier General. After the war, Hubbard applied his engineering skills to help develop the Southern Pacific Railroad. With the fortune gained, he built the handsome library for Bowdoin, and financed Peary’s Arctic expeditions. In his last years, he was Commander‐In‐Chief of MOLLUS (Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the ). But, what could equal the adventure of building a dam to save the Union Navy, stranded on the shoals of the Red River? It’s hard not to imagine that he honed some of his skills right here on the Androscoggin River, in his days as a youth at Bowdoin.

In 1984, the Red River fell to historic low levels, revealing the remains of the dam built by Joseph Bailey, Thomas Hubbard and 3,000 Union soldiers and sailors.

Words are inadequate to express the admiration I feel for the abilities of Lieutenant‐Colonel Bailey. This is, without doubt, the best engineering feat ever performed. Under the best circumstances a private company would not have completed this work under one year, and to an ordinary mind the whole thing would have appeared an utter impossibility. ‐‐ David Dixon Porter (Anecdotes)

Bookshelf – A Few Good Reads

The Immortal Irishman: The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American Hero By Timothy Egan Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, , 2016

Timothy Egan has written a very good read that tells the story of the charismatic Irishman/American Thomas Francis Meagher and the history of Americans of Irish ancestry.

Thomas F. Meagher was born to an affluent Irish family, his father a mayor and Member of Parliament (a very unusual situation in British dominated Ireland), educated by the Jesuits in England, radicalized as a young man by the British response to the potato famine, becoming a member and orator for the “Young Ireland Movement.” He was arrested and found guilty of proposing Irish self‐rule, opposing British authority. He and fellow members of the movement were to be hung, beheaded and quartered. Only an outcry from other countries saved their lives, and the punishment

14 was reduced to transportation and banishment to Van Diemen's Island (Tasmania) for life.

There ended the first part of his life, to be followed by three years in Tasmania and escape to America, where he was received as an Irish hero, touring as an orator and marrying into one of the wealthiest families in . He maintained his position as spokesman and leader of the Irish immigrant community while battling Know‐Nothings and Fernando Wood’s political machine.

All of this was prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. Meagher had to decide whether to support the Union or remain separate from America’s national catastrophe. Meagher chose to fight for the country that gave shelter and opportunity to the displaced Irish, and began to recruit for the Union. Initially a militia officer, he fought at 1st Bull Run and went home to recruit the famous Irish Brigade and lead it through many very bloody battles, suffering over 50% casualties. These losses forced him to reconsider his part in recruiting and he resigned his commission only to return to New York at the time of the draft riots. He returned to the army to be assigned to the western army until his discharge.

His leadership of the famed Irish Brigade led to his appointment as Secretary of Montana Territory, the second highest position after territory governor. He soon became the acting governor as the territory governor left soon after his arrival. Meagher as acting governor became the legal authority for Montana Territory and ran counter to the existing vigilance committee in place prior to his arrival. Then he died mysteriously. Thomas Francis Meagher’s statue in Egan’s biography reads like a great mystery, but it was true and front of the Helena, Montana capitol part of our heritage. This page‐turner is not just a “Good Read,” building, where he was acting territorial but a great book not to be missed. Pick it up and enjoy the story of governor before his mysterious death. a truly unique American. – Steve Garrett Ron Tunison’s monument to the Irish

Brigade at Antietam features the regimental flag. The Irish chose a green flag with a harp on it.

In Ireland, the English had made the harp illegal. America was a land of new hope for the Irish people, and Meagher was their leader. The harp symbolized their aspirations as they prepared to fight for their new country.

(Thomas Meagher’s image is featured 15 on the reverse of the monument.)
