Tennessee State Library and Archives Tennessee Civil War Muster Rolls State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Tennessee Civil War Muster Rolls Collection, 1861-1865 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Confederate States of America. Army United States. Army United States. Colored Troops Inclusive Dates: 1861-1865 Scope & Content: Official lists of officers and soldiers enlisted or otherwise accounted for in Tennessee military units or companies. The records are a sizeable compilation of U.S., Confederate, and U.S. Colored Troops muster rolls from across the state. There are records of soldiers mustering into and out of service, as well as miscellaneous documents such as oaths of allegiance, conscriptions, and Field and Staff Rolls. Some are full musters containing complete company rosters of around 60-70 soldiers, whereas some only list a dozen. All are descriptive. Other documents may list one man or a handful of men. In general, records provide names of the enlisted, mustering officers, dates, locations, regiments, and companies. Sometimes the comments provide information on the soldier’s whereabouts. Others provide place of birth, physical description, and occupation. This large collection of Civil War muster rolls is stored in twenty-two drawers of filing space in the State Library and Archives building. Documents are sorted by category: Confederate, Union, United States Colored Troops (USCT) or African Descent (AD) Union troops, and lastly any other miscellaneous documents. An Excel spreadsheet has been created to properly list and describe all the Civil War muster rolls that we have in our collection, including the specifics on these documents. 1 The Confederate muster rolls include documents from approximately 40 cavalry and infantry regiments of the 110 Confederate regiments organized in Tennessee. It also includes muster rolls for close to fifteen Reserve Military Corps (local militia). Other Confederate documents include conscription rolls from 1862, showing men whom the Confederate States government was drafting from four East Tennessee counties: Anderson, Blount, Johnson, and Sequatchie. These documents were an outcome of America’s first conscription or draft law. It was passed as a punitive measure by the Confederate Congress in the wake of Unionist bridge-burning and imposed largely on East Tennessee. The Federal muster rolls are much more extensive than the Confederate ones. They include documents from many of the 53 Federal regiments organized in Tennessee along with a few from other states. This includes the 1st through 14th Tennessee Cavalry, 1st through 8th Tennessee Mounted Infantry, 1st through 11th Tennessee Infantry, 1st and 2nd West Tennessee Infantry of African Descent, and 1st through 3rd Tennessee Heavy Artillery of African Descent, as well as the 13th US Colored Infantry Regiment, 8th Iowa Cavalry Regiment, and sundry others. The records of United States Colored Troops and African Descent units are especially significant. Soldiers are listed by surname and mustering location, and many rolls include place of birth, occupation, and physical description. For the enlisted African American men, the USCT enlistment rolls were likely the first time these men were listed in official records as free men. Related Civil War muster documents include those found in Record Group 4 (Provisional Army of Tennessee Records, 1861). The state was deeply divided on the issue of secession. It voted against leaving the Union in February 1861. Despite that, in May 1861, after President Lincoln’s call for troops following the capture of Fort Sumter in April, Governor Isham Harris began organizing a provisional army, nominating officers and setting up training camps across the state. After a pro-secession vote on June 8, 1861, Tennessee became the last state to join the Confederacy. The Provisional Army of Tennessee officially joined the Confederate Armed Forces on July 31, 1861. Documents in Record Group 4 include lists of voters from Camp Brown, near Union City in Obion County, and Reports of the Sick and Wounded from several training camps and hospitals. Reports of the Sick and Wounded were prepared by regimental surgeons monthly, on average. Each report contains the regiment’s location, the names of sick men and the illnesses they suffered, surgeon’s remarks, and a list of men discharged or deceased. Surgeon’s remarks often included assessments of the causes of particular illnesses, treatments, descriptions of the men and encampment, and notable cases. This collection of Civil War muster rolls can be useful to researchers for various reasons. Scholars, students, and family historians seeking information about specific regiments will find data on officers, soldiers, timelines, conditions, and troop movements. Reports of Sick and Wounded provide a glimpse into the health conditions and organization of the Provisional Army. The collection makes 2 a fine contribution to Civil War medical history. Helpful to genealogists are the names, mustering locations, and physical descriptions of soldiers. The USCT or African Descent troop records, in particular, provide key information for genealogical research. This collection provides a snapshot of Civil War medical practices and health. This is the first comprehensive and descriptive inventory of muster rolls held by the Tennessee State Library & Archives.

  • The History of the Land of Indian Hill
    513-721-LAND(5263) [email protected] The History of the Land of Indian Hill Blome Road Bridge c. 1888 Blome Road Bridge was built in 1888 by The Queen City Bridge Company. It is a one lane bridge that crosses over Sycamore Creek. It is the only surviving bridge by The Queen City Bridge Company. Blome Bridge is 127 years old. It was created with a pin connected Pratt through truss bridge, making it unusual in design. It was composed of six panels, most noted for slight skew. The Queen City Bridge Company used pipe railing that passes through the vertical members and also the end post. It was great for horse and wagon passage. The Blome Road Bridge was restored by Hamilton County in 1990. Hamilton County built a beam bridge underneath the truss bridge so not to alter the original design and materials. Buckingham House c. 1790 The Buckingham House is one of the few farm houses left in Indian Hill; built during the Civil War. The Buckingham’s came to Ohio in 1790. They purchased 1,100 acres of land in Indian Hill, known as Camp Dennison. They owned and operated mills on the Little Miami River. The Buckingham home is surrounded by 13 acres of land called Bonnell Park. Indian Hill Bridges There are two bridges in Indian Hill. One is located at Shawnee Run Road and State Route 126. This bridge was used by Pennsylvania Railroad trains to move cargo. Today the remnants of the bridge can still be seen by bicyclist and joggers.

  • 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.

    The ire I m r rtl 8l tr 0 Lieutenant Cabnet ary B. Griffin “War is the redm of chance. No other human activity gives it greater scope: no other has such incessant and varied dealings with this intruder. Chance makes. everything more uncertain and interferes with the whole course of events.” So wrote Karl von CIausewitz in his clas.sie, On WQ~. This inherent uncertainty in war, when combined with exertion, danger, and chance, produces an ever- present friction. The commander’s role throughout military ?&story has been to reduce the uncertainties of war for his own side and increase them for his enemy. Notwithstanding great advances in the arts and sciences of command and control, the best commanders have traditionally used trusted subordinates as extensions of their own minds as a way of penetrating the fog of war. This technique has come to be called the “directed telescope.‘” The Directed TeiescQpe: A ~~~~~~~om~~Element orf .E:fectiue Command, by Lieutenant Colonel Gary I3 Griffin, was first pubhsbed by the Combat Studies Institute in I985 a8 a CSL Report. Since its publication, 2Yz.eDirected TePescope has been widely read across our Army and quite a few others, amd as the Persian Gulf operatians began several months ago, the study took on a particular relevance and timeliness. Lientenant~ Colonel Griffin examines the historic rote played by liaison officers, aides-de-camp, and staff observers as extensions of the commander. The study focuses on the relationship between several great commanders and their liaison of&ens, as well as the systems, techniques, and organizations they employed.

In 1872 the author of this book wrote and published a small book the title of which was, <' Greene County in the War." But the supply being exhausted, a second edition has been published, similar to the first one, but enlarged and revised. In addition to the first book, sketches of other regiments have been added, together with anecdotes and incidents of the late war ; also, a list of Greene County's soldiers, copied from muster-rolls in the Adjutant General's office at Columbus. In this, as well as the former work, the author does not attempt to give a general history of the rebellion, but simply a history of his own regiment — the Seventy-fourth Ohio — and parts of other organizations in which Greene County was represented. It is not, however, strictly confined to Greene County alone, but other counties in the state, as well. The author having spent considerable time and labor in gettmg out this book, offers it to the public, hoping that it may prove interesting and profitable to its readers.

BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse.

  • Manning Ferguson Force
    28 th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Delivered at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15, 2002. By David L. Mowery Copyright 2002 David Mowery & Cincinnati Civil War Round Table On April 15, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to fight for the Union. Within months, hundreds of volunteer regiments formed throughout the United States as young men dutifully became soldiers in the defense of their cause. These men often joined a regiment as a part of a communal movement; sometimes the male population of a whole household, town, or ethnic community would enlist in the same unit. In Cincinnati, this sense of community was very strong among the men of German descent. In April 1861, the 1st German Regiment formed under the guidance of the Turner Society of Cincinnati. Except for its colonel, Robert L. McCook, the regiment was composed entirely of men and officers of German or Dutch ancestry. The 1st German Regiment was later designated the 9th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a unit which would serve with great distinction in the western theater of the war. (1) Because of the overwhelming response from the German community to provide men for the preservation of the Union, the formation of a subsequent all-German unit was announced on May 12, 1861. Initially named the 2nd German Regiment, this next group of volunteers was recruited from the German meeting halls located throughout the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. A scattering of recruits came from other parts of Ohio, but the vast majority of the soldiers of the 2nd German Regiment were from Hamilton County.
