Israel, Jeptha, and Kenner Garrard and their step brother Nathaniel McLean return from the Civil War. The Union Army awarded Israel, Jeptha, and Nathaniel the rank of Brigadier General and Kenner, a West Point graduate, was a Major General. Israel served with the 7th Ohio Volunteer Calvary and was on the Atlanta campaign with Sherman and at the battle of Nashville. After graduating from West Point in 1851, Kenner spent 10 years with the US Calvary in the southwest territories and, during the Civil War, led troops at Gettysburg, Atlanta, and Nashville. Kenner, a career soldier, spent little time in Frontenac and died at the age of 52. Lewis Garrard remained in Frontenac during the Civil War due to his health and managed the family’s Frontenac interests. The Garrard brothers are the grandsons of James Garrard, the 2nd Governor of Kentucky for which Garrard County Kentucky is named and the grandsons of Israel Ludlow, a surveyor who owned much of what is now Cincinnati, OH and for which Ludlow, Kentucky is named. Ludlow is in Florence County, Kentucky across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, OH. 1866.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • Guide to a Microfilm Edition of the Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records
    -~-----', Guide to a Microfilm Edition of The Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records Helen McCann White Minnesota Historical Society . St. Paul . 1974 -------~-~~~~----~! Copyright. 1974 @by the Minnesota Historical Society Library of Congress Catalog Number:74-10395 International Standard Book Number:O-87351-091-7 This pamphlet and the microfilm edition of the Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records which it describes were made possible by a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission to the Minnesota Historical Society. Introduction THE PAPERS AND OFFICIAL RECORDS of Alexander Ramsey are the sixth collection to be microfilmed by the Minnesota Historical Society under a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission. They document the career of a man who may be charac­ terized as a 19th-century urban pioneer par excellence. Ramsey arrived in May, 1849, at the raw settlement of St. Paul in Minne­ sota Territory to assume his duties as its first territorial gov­ ernor. The 33-year-old Pennsylvanian took to the frontier his family, his education, and his political experience and built a good life there. Before he went to Minnesota, Ramsey had attended college for a time, taught school, studied law, and practiced his profession off and on for ten years. His political skills had been acquired in the Pennsylvania legislature and in the U.S. Congress, where he developed a subtlety and sophistication in politics that he used to lead the development of his adopted city and state. Ram­ sey1s papers and records reveal him as a down-to-earth, no-non­ sense man, serving with dignity throughout his career in the U.S.

  • Views of the Wigwam Convention: Letters from the Son of Lincoln's
    Views of the Wigwam Convention: Letters from the Son of Lincoln’s 1856 Candidate JOHN T. ELLIFF Abraham Lincoln was nominated as a candidate for president on May 18, 1860, at the Republican convention in the Chicago Wigwam. On each of the three days before the roll calls, Cincinnati lawyer Nathan- iel C. McLean wrote letters from Chicago to his wife. He was neither a delegate nor a politician, but he was hoping for a deadlock that could result in nomination of his father, Associate Justice John McLean of the United States Supreme Court, to whom he referred affectionately as “the Judge.” He knew members of the Ohio delegation and gained inside knowledge of the deliberations of other state delegations. The candid observations he shared with his wife provide insights into the Wigwam convention from a newly available perspective.1 Justice McLean was a long-shot candidate from Ohio before whom Lincoln had practiced law in Illinois federal courtrooms.2 His long- standing presidential ambitions dated back to his service as postmas- ter general under Presidents Monroe and John Quincy Adams; he reluctantly accepted appointment to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson.3 When McLean sought the Whig presidential nomination 1.

  • The War Comes to Atlanta
    The War Comes to Atlanta http://civilwar150.longwood.edu The week of July 20 to 26, 1864, was a very eventful week for the Confederate and Union troops. This week includes the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the Battle of Atlanta, the second Battle of Kernstown, and the beginning of Stoneman’s Raid in Georgia. All of these events took place in Georgia. During the Battle of Peachtree Creek on July 20, 1864, the fighting started when George Thomas crossed the Peachtree Creek with the Union army heading in Atlanta’s direction. When Hood caught wind of this, he started to organize his army to attack. The Confederates attacked but the Union army held them off. Another skirmish during the day occurred at Leggett’s Hill. There was also fighting in the Shenandoah, where the Union troops tried to drive the Confederates out of the Valley of Virginia. There were engagements at Stephenson’s Depot but the bulk of the Confederate army pulled out and marched towards Strasburg. There were also skirmishes in Tennessee, Missouri and in Idaho Territory. On Thursday, July 21, 1864, the Union troops moved for Atlanta. Sherman’s army had the place surrounded as they prepared to fight. The Union troops took Leggett’s Hill despite Cleburne’s heroic attempts to defend it. On Friday, July 22, 1864, the famed Battle of Atlanta took place. When the Confederates arrived, William Hardee’s men hit the flank of McPherson’s men before getting to Atlanta. They were able to stall McPherson’s advance. McPherson’s line was reinforced where Hardee was attacking.
