Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by CHARLES CARLETON COFFIN, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of Massachusetts. University Press: Welch, Bigelow, and Company, Cambridge. PREFACE. TT will be many years before a complete history -*- of the operations of the armies of the Union can be written ; but that is not a sufficient reason why historical pictures may not now be painted from such materials as have come to hand. This volume, therefore, is a sketch of the operations of the Army of the Potomac from August, 1861, to November, 1862, while commanded by Gener- al McOlellan. To avoid detail, the organization of the army is given in an Appendix. It has not been possible, in a book of this size, to give the movements of regiments ; but the narrative has been limited to the operations of brigades and di- visions. It will be comparatively easy, however, for the reader to ascertain the general position of any regiment in the different battles, by con- sulting the Appendix in connection with the narrative.

INTRODUCTORY Battles I have witnessed. IjlOR more than three years I have followed -*- the flag of our country in the East and in the West and in the South, — on the ocean, on the land, and on the great rivers. A year ago I gave in a volume entitled " My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field " a description of the Battle of Bull Run, and other battles in Ken- tucky, Tennessee, and on the Mississippi. It has been my privilege to witness nearly all the great battles fought by the Army of the Poto- mac, — Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, at the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, the North Anna, Coal Harbor, and at Petersburg. Letters have been received from those who are strangers to me as well as from friends, expressing a desire INTRODUCTORY. Why this volume is written. that I should give a connected account, not only of the operations of that army, from its organ- ization, but of other armies ; also of the glorious achievements of the navy in this great struggle of our country for national existence. The pres- ent volume, therefore, will be the second of the contemplated series. During the late campaign in Virginia, many facts and incidents were obtained which give an insight into the operations of the armies of the South, not before known. Time will undoubt- edly reveal other important facts, which will be made use of in the future. It will be my en- deavor to sift from the immense amount of ma- terial already accumulated a concise and trust- worthy account, that we may know how our patriot brothers have fought to save the country and to secure to all who may live after them the blessings of a free government. / CHAPTER I. ORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The Effect of the Battle of BuU Run. The Feeling at the North. THE battle of Bull Run, or of Manassas, as the Rebels call it, which was fought on the 21st of July, 1861, was the first great battle of the war. It was disastrous to the Union army. But the people of the North were not disheart- ened by it. Their pride was mortified, for they had confidently expected a victory, and had not taken into consideration the possibility of a de- feat. The victory was all but won, as has been narrated in " My Days and Nights on the Battle- Field," when the arrival of a brigade of Rebels and the great mistake of Captain Barry, who supposed them to be Union troops, turned the scale, and the battle was lost to the Union army. But the people of the North, who loved the Union, could not think of giving up the contest, — of having the country divided, and the old flag trailed in the dust. They felt that it would be impossible to live peaceably side by side with those who declared themselves superior to the laboring men of the Free States, and were their " ORGANIZATION OF THE What the Slaveholders wanted. What General Polk said. rightful masters. They were not willing to ac- knowledge that the slaveholders were their mas- ters. They felt that there could not be friendship and amity between themselves and a nation which had declared that slavery was its corner-stone. Besides all this, the slaveholders wanted Mary- land, Kentucky, and Missouri in the Southern Confederacy, while the majority of the people of those States wanted to stay in the Union. The Rebels professed that they were willing that each State should choose for itself, but they were insincere and treacherous in their professions. Kentucky would not join the Confederacy ; there- fore they invaded the State to compel the people to forsake the old flag. A gentleman from Ohio accompanied a South- ern lady to Columbus, on the Mississippi, to see her safely among her friends. General Polk was commander of the Rebel forces at that place, and they talked about the war. " I wish it might be settled," said the General. " " How will you settle ? " O, all we ask is to have all that belongs to us, and to be let alone." " " What belongs to you ? " All that has always been acknowledged as ours." " Do you want Missouri ? " Yes, that is ours." " ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The Children of the South. What a Little Girl said about " Old Scrubs." " " Do you want Kentucky ? "Yes, certainly. The Ohio River has always been considered as the boundary line." " But Kentucky don't want you." " We must have her." " " You want all of Virginia ? " Of course." " " You want Maryland ? " Most certainly." " What will you do with Washington ? " We don't want it. Remove it if you want * to ; but Maryland is ours." Such was the conversation ; and this feeling, that they must have all the Slave States to form a great slaveholding confederacy, was universal in the South. Besides this, they held the people in the Free States in contempt. Even the children of the South were so influenced by the system of slavery that they thought themselves superior to the people of the Free States who worked for a living. I heard a girl, who was not more than ten years old, say that the Northern people were all " " old scrubs ! Not to be a scrub was to own slaves, — to work them hard and pay them noth- ing, — to sell them, to raise children for the market, — to separate mothers from their babes, * Ohio State Journal.

General McClellan. wives from their husbands, — to live solely for their own interests, happiness, and pleasure, with- out regard to the natural rights of others. This little girl, although her mother kept a boarding- house, felt that she was too good to play with Northern children, or if she noticed them at all, it was as a superior. Feeling themselves the superiors of the North- ern people, having been victorious at Manassas, the people of the South became enthusiastic for continuing the war. Thousands of volunteers joined the Rebels already in arms. Before the summer of 1861 had passed General Johnston had a large army in front of Washington, which was called the Army of the Potomac. At the same time thousands rushed to arms in the North.

    94 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. A FORGOTTEN PATRIOT. BY HENRY S. N0UU8E. OF self-sacrificing patriots who in troublous times have proved themselves worthy the lasting gratitude of the com- monwealth, very many have found no biographer ; but none seem more completely forgotten, even in the towns of which they were once the ruling spirits, than the officers who led the Massachusetts yeomanry during those tedious campaigns of the French and Indian War, which awoke the British colonies to consciousness of their strength and thereby hastened the founding of the Republic. A few in- cidents in the honorable career of one of these unremem- bered patriots—one whom perhaps diffidence only, pre- vented from being a very conspicuous figure in the battles for independence—I have brought together, and offer as faint, unsatisfying outlines of an eventful and useful life. In "Appleton's Cyclopœdia of American Biography," published in 1889, twenty-two lines are given to General John Whitcomb, nearly every date and statement in which is erroneous. It is alleged therein that he was born "about 1720, and died in 1812"; and the brief narrative is embel- lished with a romantic tale wholly borrowed from the mili- tary experience of a younger brother. Colonel Asa Whitcomb. Biographical notes in volumes XII. and XVIII. of the Essex Institute Historical Collections perpetuate like errors of date. Even in the most voluminous histories of the building of the Eepublic, this general's name is barely, or not at all mentioned.

Floyd1 While searching for one of my wife’s ancestors in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, West View, Allegheny, PA2 some time ago [located at 101-199 Bellevue Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15229], I came across a grave plot for Francis J. Kiernan with a wonderful monument to the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry. On the monument were listed all of the major engagements the 40th NY Infantry had fought during the US Civil War.3 The 40th New York was in almost all of the major Civil War engagements in the north east surrounding Washington, D.C, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Buried next to Francis Kiernan, Sr., were his sons Francis J. Kiernan, Jr. and Robert Emmet Kiernan. The senior Kiernan’s stone reflected he was born in Ireland and his two sons were born in Pennsylvania.4 5 I thought what wonderful stories Mr. Kiernan could have told of his history and that of the terrible conflict he took part in and survived. I had to find out more about him. Francis J. Kiernan, Sr. was born in County Longford, Ireland [b. 15 Aug 1841 - d.

  • Film Shooting Manual for Shooting of Films in Delhi
    FILM SHOOTING MANUAL FOR SHOOTING OF FILMS IN DELHI Delhi Tourism Govt. of NCT of Delhi 1 Message The capital city, Delhi, showcases an ancient culture and a rapidly modernizing country. It boasts of 170 notified monuments, which includes three UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well as many contemporary buildings. The city is a symbol of the country’s rich past and a thriving present. The Capital is a charming mix of old and new. Facilities like the metro network, expansive flyovers, the swanky airport terminal and modern high- rise buildings make it a world-class city. Glancing through the past few years, it is noticed that Bollywood has been highly responsive of the offerings of Delhi. More than 200 films have been shot here in the past five years. Under the directives issued by Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of I & B, the Govt. of NCT of Delhi has nominated Delhi Tourism & Transportation Development Corporation Ltd. as the nodal agency for facilitating shooting of films in Delhi and I have advised DTTDC to incorporate all procedures in the Manual so that Film Fraternity finds it user- friendly. I wish Delhi Tourism the best and I am confident that they will add a lot of value to the venture. Chief Secretary, Govt. of Delhi 2 Message Delhi is a city with not just rich past glory as the seat of empire and magnificent monuments, but also in the rich and diverse culture. The city is sprinkled with dazzling gems: captivating ancient monuments, fascinating museums and art galleries, architectural wonders, a vivacious performing-arts scene, fabulous eateries and bustling markets.
