"From his home in Front Royal, young Ashby witnessed Jackson's 1862 campaign, a succession of Federal occupations and life in and around a Confederate hospital in the town. He was caught up in the midst of the May 23, 1862, battle at Front Royal, which he aptly describes as 'more like a police riot than a fight between soldiers.' The valuable personal reminiscences are interlarded with considerable superficial summarization of events elsewhere in Virginia, but the first-person accounts of four years of war in the Valley are worth searching out."

    The Citadel Archives & Museum 171 Moultrie Street Charleston, S.C. Telephone 843.953.6846 Fax: 843.953.6956 ELLISON CAPERS PAPERS A1961.1 BIOGRAPHY From the Dictionary of American Biography Base Set. American Council of Learned Societies, 1928-1936. Ellison Capers (Oct. 14, 1837-Apr. 22, 1908), Confederate soldier, Episcopal bishop, was born in Charleston, South Carolina. His parents were William Capers and Susan (McGill) Capers. With the exception of two years in Oxford, Georgia, Ellison Capers spent his childhood and youth in Charleston, where he attended the two private schools and the high school. He received additional training in the Conference School, Cokesbury, and in Anderson Academy. In 1854 he entered the South Carolina Military Academy (The Citadel). He graduated in 1857 and taught for that year at The Citadel as an instructor in mathematics. In 1858, he served as principal of the preparatory department at Mt. Zion College, Winnsboro, South Carolina but returned to The Citadel in January 1859 as assistant professor of mathematics. The next month he married Charlotte Palmer of Cherry Grove Plantation. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Capers was elected major of a volunteer regiment which took part in the bombardment of Fort Sumter. This organization gave way to a permanent unit, the 24th South Carolina Infantry, of which Capers was 1 lieutenant-colonel. After two years of fighting in the Carolinas, the bloodiest occurring at the battles on James Island, the regiment was ordered in May 1863 to go with General Joseph E. Johnston to the relief of Vicksburg, Mississippi. From this time until the surrender at Bentonville, North Carolina, Capers was in the midst of hard campaigning and intense fighting.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

    Section 1 General Information BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH JENKINS CAMP 1569 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEMBER HANDBOOK GENERAL INFORMATION Heritage of Honor The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of activities. Preservation work, marking Confederate soldiers' graves, historical re- enactments, scholarly publications, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political history of the War Between the States are only a few of the activities sponsored by local units, called camps. All state organizations, known as Divisions, hold annual conventions, and many publish regular newsletters to the membership dealing with statewide issues. Each Division has a corps of officers elected by the membership who coordinate the work of camps and the national organization.

  • The Skirmisher
    THE SKIRMISHER CIVIL WAR TRUST THE STORM AFTER THE CALM: 1861 VOLUME 5 THINGS FALL APART The new year of 1861 opened with secession weighing heavily on the American mind. Citing abuses of constitutional law, plans for the abolition of slavery, and a rigged 1860 presidential election, the state of South Carolina had dissolved its bonds with the Union less than two weeks before. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana left by the end of January, seizing a number of Federal arsenals as they went. Northerners were agog at the rapid turn of events. Abraham Lincoln refused to surrender Federal forts in Confederate territory, but their garrisons would starve without fresh provisions. The new president, only 60 days into his first term, sent the steamer Star of the West to resupply Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor. Charleston’s cannons opened fire on the ship, turning it away at the mouth of the harbor. The brief salvo showed the depth of feeling in the Rebel states. Texas left the Union, even though Texas governor Sam Houston refused to take the secession oath, telling his citizens South Carolina seceded from the Union with that “you may, after a sacrifice of countless millions of treasures and hundreds of thousands great fanfare. (Library of precious lives, as a bare possibility, win Southern independence…but I doubt it.” of Congress) In February, the newly-named Confederate States of America held its first constitutional convention. The Confederate States Army took shape, and quickly forbade any further resupplies of Federal forts. The Fort Sumter garrison was very low on food.

  • Gen. Braxton Bragg and Two Texas Ghost Stories
    Gen. Braxton Bragg and Two Texas Ghost Stories Norman Dasinger, Jr., August 7, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org Braxton Bragg grew up in North Carolina. The rumor was that his mother was in prison for killing a free Black man, and she gave birth to him there. Young Braxton was a smart boy. He managed to get to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and he graduated fifth in the 1837 class. He served bravely in the Mexican War and returned to his hometown a hero receiving cheers from the very people that had maligned him for his family history while growing up Soon, he met the daughter of a rich Louisiana sugar cane plantation owner, Eliza Ellis. They were married, and Bragg decided to leave the army. He resigned and moved to Thibodaux and bought a 1,600-acre sugar cane plantation of his own. He used his superior talents of organization to make the endeavor profitable When Louisiana seceded from the United States, Braxton Bragg Bragg was made a brigadier general in the new Confederate States Army and commanded the Department of West Florida headquartered in Pensacola. Following the battle of Shiloh, he was made a full general and given command of the Army of Tennessee. He led a campaign into Kentucky, and his soldiers fought at the battles of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Chickamauga, Georgia. By December 1863, Bragg was removed from army command and given an advisory role in Richmond’s War Department. On May 9, 1865, Bragg was captured near Monticello, Georgia, and upon his release he moved into his brother’s house in Lowndesboro, Alabama.

  • “Gone for a Soldier”: the Civil War Letters of Charles Harding Cox Contributed by Mrs
    “Gone for a Soldier”: The Civil War Letters of Charles Harding Cox Contributed by Mrs. Caroline Cox Wyatt* Edited by Lorna Lutes Sylvester In January, 1864, Charles Harding Cox wrote his sister in Indianapolis, Indiana : “Was it patriotism, belligerant spirit, or tired of home that induced me to enlist. I am sure it was not the last and for the life of me can not think why I came for a ‘sojer’.’’ Such a statement was unusual for Cox whose exhuberance and enthusiasm carried him through almost three years of service in the Seventieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War, and a few lines later he reassured his sister: “Katie! I was a fool for writing the above and did not think while writing it . You must not think I am having a rough time, as no soldiers have ever seen a more easy and pleasant time than the Seventieth Indiana . .” Cox had thoroughly enjoyed his first eighteen months in the army. From August, 1862, to January, 1864, most of his time had been spent guarding trains and performing picket duty near Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Gallatin, Murfreesboro, and Nashville, Tennes- see? He had frequently received “bids” to dances and parties and thought southern girls “far more agreeable and sociable than those at home.” Yet, as Cox warned his sister, the Seventieth Indiana in January, 1864, had been assigned to a new corps “in the extreme front” and the real “tug of war” was to come. As part of the First Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Army Corps the Seventieth Indiana participated in the Atlanta campaign and Major General William T.

PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Civil War (United States); *Donors; *Meetings; *Private Financial Support; *Public History; Recognition (Achievement); *Reconstruction Era IDENTIFIERS Biodata; Lee (Robert E); *Peabody (George) ABSTRACT This paper discusses the chance meeting at White Sulphur Springs (West Virginia) of two important public figures, Robert E. Lee and George Peabody, whose rare encounter marked a symbolic turn from Civil War bitterness toward reconciliation and the lifting power of education. The paper presents an overview of Lee's life and professional and military career followed by an overview of Peabody's life and career as a banker, an educational philanthropist, and one who endowed seven Peabody Institute libraries. Both men were in ill health when they visited the Greenbrier Hotel in the summer of 1869, but Peabody had not long to live and spent his time confined to a cottage where he received many visitors. Peabody received a resolution of praise from southern dignitaries which read, in part: "On behalf of the southern people we tender thanks to Mr. Peabody for his aid to the cause of education...and hail him benefactor." A photograph survives that shows Lee, Peabody, and William Wilson Corcoran sitting together at the Greenbrier. Reporting that Lee's own illness kept him from attending Peabody's funeral, the paper describes the impressive and prolonged international services in 1870.
