Lonergan, Chairman, Hartford Member, Connecticut Civil War Centennial Civil War Centennial Committee Commission FOREWORD During the Centennial observance of the Civil War, the purpose of the Commission is to provide the public with information on Connec­ ticut's participation in the great struggle. This pamphlet provides data on Connecticut men who attained high rank in the Army and Navy. Our citizens may well feel proud of the fact that Connecticut furnished, in addition to the Secretary of the Navy, 4 Admirals; 6 Commodores; 18 Major Generals, and 35 Brigadier Generals. The roster of officers herein has been limited to natives of this State and those who adopted it as their residence. It does not include high ranking officers of other states who may have commanded Connecticut troops at times. The reader will note that three types of commtsswns were issued during the Civil War. The first type pertains to rank in the regular army. The second concerns those in the volunteers. This type was issued to all volunteer officers commissioned from civilian life. Most of the regular army officers also received commissions in the volunteer service. Thus, a man might hold a commission as Captain in the United States Army and be made a Brigadie-r General of Volunteers. It was a temporary rank held only during the War. Upon the termination of hostilities such a regular army officer was returned to his rank in the regular army. Thirdly, there were brevet ranks issued both as to the regular army and to the volunteers. A brevet rank is a commission promoting an officer to a higher rank without an increase in pay and with a limited exercise of the higher rank, although he may be addressed by his brevet title and wear the uniform of the brevet rank. It will be observed that a number of Colonels of Volunteers were given the brevet rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers for war services. E . P. LEDDY and E. J. LONERGAN CONTENTS Babbitt, E.

When 24 years old he became part owner and editor of the Hartford Times. While editor he served several terms in the State Legislature and one term as State Comptroller. Always liberal in his political views, he was an ardent Jacksonian Democrat. He was a candidate for the U. S. Congress in 1834, but was defeated. His position on the slavery question created a schism on the newspaper, and he resigned as editor in 1836. President Jackson then appointed him Postmaster of Hartford, a position which he held for seven years. From 1846-49 he served as Chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing for the Navy. Subsequent to his return home he became a director of the Hartford Bank, the predecessor of the Hartford Bank and Trust Company. When the Republican Party was formed, Welles found himself in agreement with its stand on the slavery issue. He became an advocate of its principles, and an early organizer. In 1856 he helped to establish the Hartford Evening Press, a Republican newspaper. He was the unsuccessful candidate for Governor on the ticket of the new party in that year. When Abraham Lincoln came to Hartford in 1860 he was greeted by Gideon Welles. In 1860 he led the Con­ necticut delegation to the Republican Convention, and gave his whole-hearted support to Lincoln's nomination. Welles was ap­ pointed to Lincoln's Cabinet in 1861 as Secretary of the Navy. In that capacity he made a major contribution to the Union war effort. A fine judge of men, he chose able assistants and subordi­ nates. Refusing to bow to political pressure in granting promo­ tions, he organized the Navy into an efficient and powerful fighting force. He built it up from 90 ships and 9,000 men to 670 ships and 7 52,000 men. With a firm belief in the new armored vessels, he authorized the construction of the "MONITOR" and other ironclads. After Lincoln's death, Welles continued to serve as Secretary of the Navy until 1869, supporting President Johnson in his efforts to carry out the reconstruction policies in which Lincoln so firmly be­ lieved. He returned to the Democratic Party in 1876, supporting Tilden for the Presidency. His diary, which was later published, gives a de­ tailed picture of the Washington scene during the years of the Civil War, and is filled with remarkably astute sketches of his contempo­ raries.

  • Our Position Was Finely Adapted to Its Use...”
    "...Our Position Was Finely Adapted To Its Use...” The Guns of Cemetery Hill Bert H. Barnett During the late afternoon of July 1, 1863, retiring Federals of the battered 1st and 11th corps withdrew south through Gettysburg toward Cemetery Hill and began to steady themselves upon it. Following the difficult experiences of the first day of battle, many officers and men were looking to that solid piece of ground, seeking all available advantages. A number of factors made this location attractive. Chief among them was a broad, fairly flat crest that rose approximately eighty feet above the center of Gettysburg, which lay roughly three-quarters of a mile to the north. Cemetery Hill commanded the approaches to the town from the south, and the town in turn served as a defensive bulwark against organized attack from that quarter. To the west and southwest of the hill, gradually descending open slopes were capable of being swept by artillery fire. The easterly side of the hill was slightly lower in height than the primary crest. Extending north of the Baltimore pike, it possessed a steeper slope that overlooked low ground, cleared fields, and a small stream. Field guns placed on this position would also permit an effective defense. It was clear that this new position possessed outstanding features. General Oliver Otis Howard, commanding the Union 11th Corps, pronounced it “the only tenable position” for the army.1 As the shadows began to lengthen on July 1, it became apparent that Federal occupation of the hill was not going to be challenged in any significant manner this day.

  • Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In
    Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

McFarland & Company, Inc., $38.00 ISBN 978-0-7864-5900-1 Navigating the Mississippi River Campaign A recent documentary on the Civil War noted that the first two years of the war were a virtual stalemate. That was true only in regard to events in the Eastern Theater. As Benton Rain Patterson makes clear in The Mississippi River Campaign, 1861-1863, west of the Appalachians the war was characterized by a series of Federal successes and Confederate disasters. Nowhere was this more true than in the struggle for control of the Mississippi River. Patterson, an emeritus associate professor of journalism at the University of Florida who formerly worked at the New York Times and the Saturday Evening Post, documents the movement of what he calls "the receding gray line" of Confederate defenses in the Western Theater. In early 1862 that line began with a heavily-fortified position on the bluffs above the Mississippi River at Columbus, Kentucky, stretching eastward through Bowling Green and on to Mill Springs.

  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.
