  • James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg
    “Such a night is seldom experienced…” James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg Karlton Smith, Gettysburg NMP After the repulse of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s Assault on July 3, 1863, Gen. Robert E. Lee, commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, knew that the only option left for him at Gettysburg was to try to disengage from his lines and return with his army to Virginia. Longstreet, commander of the army’s First Corps and Lee’s chief lieutenant, would play a significant role in this retrograde movement. As a preliminary to the general withdrawal, Longstreet decided to pull his troops back from the forward positions gained during the fighting on July 2. Lt. Col. G. Moxley Sorrel, Longstreet’s adjutant general, delivered the necessary orders to Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, commanding one of Longstreet’s divisions. Sorrel offered to carry the order to Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law, commanding John B. Hood’s division, on McLaws’s right. McLaws raised objections to this order. He felt that his advanced position was important and “had been won after a deadly struggle; that the order was given no doubt because of [George] Pickett’s repulse, but as there was no pursuit there was no necessity of it.” Sorrel interrupted saying: “General, there is no discretion allowed, the order is for you to retire at once.” Gen. James Longstreet, C.S.A. (LOC) As McLaws’s forward line was withdrawing to Warfield and Seminary ridges, the Federal batteries on Little Round Top opened fire, “but by quickening the pace the aim was so disturbed that no damage was done.” McLaws’s line was followed by “clouds of skirmishers” from the Federal Army of the Potomac; however, after reinforcing his own skirmish line they were driven back from the Peach Orchard area.

  • “Never Was I So Depressed”
    The Army of Northern Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign “Never Was I So Depressed” James Longstreet and Pickett’s Charge Karlton D. Smith On July 24, 1863, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet wrote a private letter to his uncle, Augusts Baldwin Longstreet. In discussing his role in the Gettysburg Campaign, the general stated: General Lee chose the plan adopted, and he is the person appointed to chose and to order. I consider it a part of my duty to express my views to the commanding general. If he approves and adopts them it is well; if he does not, it is my duty to adopt his views, and to execute his orders as faithfully as if they were my own. While clearly not approving Lee’s plan of attack on July 3, Longstreet did everything he could, both before and during the attack, to ensure its success.1 Born in 1821, James Longstreet was an 1842 graduate of West Point. An “Old Army” regular, Longstreet saw extensive front line combat service in the Mexican War in both the northern and southern theaters of operations. Longstreet led detachments that helped to capture two of the Mexican forts guarding Monterey and was involved in the street fighting in the city. At Churubusco, Longstreet planted the regimental colors on the walls of the fort and saw action at Casa Marta, near Molino del Ray. On August 13, 1847, Longstreet was wounded during the assault on Chapaltepec while “in the act of discharging the piece of a wounded man." The same report noted that during the action, "He was always in front with the colors.

Wray Jr. Collection at the Atlanta History Center By Gordon L. Jones Photos by Jack W. Melton, Jr. He was a very private man who lived in an ordinary house in suburban Atlanta. He loved his family, friends, and the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. But his real pas- sion was Confederate history. He was George W. Wray Jr., well-known for his keen eye for detail, encyclopedic knowledge of weaponry, and penchant for making a bargain. Beginning at the age of twelve in 1948, Wray spent the next fifty-six years building a world-class collection of one thousand Confederate artifacts, including 184 longarms, virtually all known varieties of Confederate bayonets, seven rare Confederate artillery pieces, handguns, uniforms, headgear, flags, swords, knives, ammunition, and accoutrements. Along the way, he spent thousands of hours meticulously tracking down the original public through text, videos, and interactive exhibits, owners of attributed artifacts, building “womb to tomb” Turning Point is firmly rooted in artifacts and the stories biographies of their lives, complete with photographs and they tell—both individually and collectively. Perhaps more family histories. He filled up fourteen file boxes with arti- important still, the acquisition of the Wray Collection will cles, notes, and copies of all his research correspondence, greatly enhance our capacity to serve students, researchers, making his collection one of the best documented in the and collectors by providing an accessible and permanent ref- nation.

  • General AP Hill at Gettysburg
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Park Seminar General A.P. Hill at Gettysburg: A Study of Character and Command Matt Atkinson If not A. P. Hill, then who? May 2, 1863, Orange Plank Road, Chancellorsville, Virginia – In the darkness of the Wilderness, victory or defeat hung in the balance. The redoubtable man himself, Stonewall Jackson, had ridden out in front of his most advanced infantry line to reconnoiter the Federal position and was now returning with his staff. Nervous North Carolinians started to fire at the noises of the approaching horses. Voices cry out from the darkness, “Cease firing, you are firing into your own men!” “Who gave that order?” a muffled voice in the distance is heard to say. “It’s a lie! Pour it into them, boys!” Like chain lightning, a sudden volley of musketry flashes through the woods and the aftermath reveals Jackson struck by three bullets.1 Caught in the tempest also is one of Jackson’s division commanders, A. P. Hill. The two men had feuded for months but all that was forgotten as Hill rode to see about his commander’s welfare. “I have been trying to make the men cease firing,” said Hill as he dismounted. “Is the wound painful?” “Very painful, my arm is broken,” replied Jackson. Hill delicately removed Jackson’s gauntlets and then unhooked his sabre and sword belt. Hill then sat down on the ground and cradled Jackson’s head in his lap as he and an aide cut through the commander’s clothing to examine the wounds.

  • “… for an Hour and a Half We Had a Grand Fourth of July Performance…” Robert E
    “… For an hour and a half we had a grand Fourth of July performance…” Robert E. Lee and the Cannonade of July 3 Bert H. Barnett The opening shot of the massive Confederate artillery bombardment on the afternoon of July 3, 1863, has traditionally been portrayed as the first act of the grand tragedy that announced General Robert E. Lee’s ill-starred assault on the center of the Union line. For many, that moment has long remained the critical second at which the inevitable slide toward irretrievable defeat began. In his novel Intruder in the Dust, Southern author William Faulkner reflected upon it this way: For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o’clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods … and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position , […] We all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake […] This time. Maybe this time…1 Of course, by the time these words were written in 1948, the crucial Confederate test of arms at Gettysburg had long since passed into history. Implicitly recalled in this failure was the large- scale artillery effort that, if successful, “would … silence those [guns] of the enemy,” thereby “driv[ing] off the enemy [,] or greatly demoraliz[ing] him, so as to make our efforts pretty certain” prior to the advance of General James Longstreet’s Confederate infantry.
