Culp’s Hill: Key to Union Success at Gettysburg Abstract Brigadier General George S. Greene’s position on Culp’s Hill during the Battle of Gettysburg is arguably the crucial lynchpin of July 2, 1863. Had this position at the barb of the fishhook defensive line fallen, Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his army would then have been positioned to take Cemetery Hill, thus breaking the curve of the hook on the Union right. This most likely would have sent the Union into retreat, leaving the direct route to Washington unguarded. Fortunately, valiant efforts were made by men like Generals George S. Greene and Henry H. Lockwood in order to preserve the Union Army’s possession of the hill and, as a result, preserve the Union itself. While leaders distinguished themselves during the Battle of Gettysburg with exceptional decision-making and ingenuity, the battle for ulpC ’s Hill also embodied the personal cost these decisions made, as evidenced by the experience of Marylanders who literally fought their neighbors.

The Histories, Volume 5, Number 2 16 The Lost Cause Mythology contains great “What if..." questions; of these, one of the greatest is what would have happened if General Thomas (Stonewall) J. Jackson had not been killed so early on in the Civil War. Jackson was a disciplined and aggressive commander but as with all mythology, the facts have been exaggerated. Three discrepancies exist that portray Jackson as a good general but not the iconic figure found in most historical accounts. Jackson’s tendency towards secrecy prevented him from sharing his plans and intentions with subordinates, fellow commanders, and superiors. His stubborn nature was problematic, and resulted in a constant stream of courts-martial, which he was almost too willing to use against other officers, as well as in general discord, even amongst his most senior officers. He has been deemed a military genius, but he was only a genius as compared to the Union commanders that he faced in battle.

  • James Longstreet and His Staff of the First Corps
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Military Park Seminar The Best Staff Officers in the Army- James Longstreet and His Staff of the First Corps Karlton Smith Lt. Gen. James Longstreet had the best staff in the Army of Northern Virginia and, arguably, the best staff on either side during the Civil War. This circumstance would help to make Longstreet the best corps commander on either side. A bold statement indeed, but simple to justify. James Longstreet had a discriminating eye for talent, was quick to recognize the abilities of a soldier and fellow officer in whom he could trust to complete their assigned duties, no matter the risk. It was his skill, and that of the officers he gathered around him, which made his command of the First Corps- HIS corps- significantly successful. The Confederate States Congress approved the organization of army corps in October 1862, the law approving that corps commanders were to hold the rank of lieutenant general. President Jefferson Davis General James Longstreet in 1862. requested that Gen. Robert E. Lee provide (Museum of the Confederacy) recommendations for the Confederate army’s lieutenant generals. Lee confined his remarks to his Army of Northern Virginia: “I can confidently recommend Generals Longstreet and Jackson in this army,” Lee responded, with no elaboration on Longstreet’s abilities. He did, however, add a few lines justifying his recommendation of Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson as a corps commander.1 When the promotion list was published, Longstreet ranked as the senior lieutenant general in the Confederate army with a date of rank of October 9, 1862.

  • “Stonewall” Jackson: a Biography
    The Stonewall Jackson House, Lexington, Virginia Discovering Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson: A Biography Thomas Jonathan Jackson was born on January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). Thomas’ father died when Thomas was two years old, leaving Thomas’ mother widowed with little money and many debts. To support her three surviving children, Thomas’ mother became a teacher and also sewed. Mounting financial problems forced her to sell all her property, even the family home in Clarksburg. Four years later, Thomas’ mother re-married and moved the family to a neighboring county. When Thomas was seven she became very ill and sent the children to live with relatives. Later that year Thomas returned home to be at his mother’s side when she died. Thomas loved his mother deeply, and he remembered her with appreciation all his life. After their mother’s death, Thomas and his sister Laura lived with their Uncle Cummins on Jackson’s Mill. The young Thomas quickly grew to like to his uncle and enjoyed working on the farm. But Thomas lived a lonely and independent life with his uncle, and received only three years of formal schooling. Worse, Thomas did not begin school until he was thirteen. When he was eighteen, Thomas entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Lacking the financial and educational advantages of his classmates, Jackson ranked at the bottom of his class his first year, though he improved with each year. When he was graduated in 1846, Thomas ranked seventeenth out of the fifty-nine graduates in his class.

    MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE GORDON MEADE THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY. VOL. XXXV. 1911. No. 1 BANQUET GIVEN BY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA, TO CELEBRATE THE NINETY- FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE GORDON MEADE, DECEMBER 31, 1910. THE ninety-fifth anniversary of the birth of Major General George Gordon Meade, Commander of the Army of the Potomac from June 28, 1863, until the disbandment of that army after the surrender at Appomattox, was chosen as a fitting time to bring to the attention of a too-forgetful people, the genius and great services of the victor of Gettysburg. The movement originating with former Gov- ernor Samuel W. Pennypaeker, President of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, found a quick response from the members of the Society, and a committee composed of Hon. Charlemagne Tower, Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker, Col. William Brooke Rawle and Col. John P. Nicholson, was appointed to make suitable arrangements for a banquet. On Saturday evening, December 31, 1910, military and naval officers, statesmen, diplomats, judges, barristers of national reputation, authors, journalists and captains of industry, who met in the Hall of the Historical Society of Pennsyl- vania, made up an assemblage seldom seen even in this city of distinguished gatherings. Three Lieutenant Generals— VOL. XXXV.—1 2 General Meade Anniversary Banquet. Miles, Bates and Young—and an Admiral of the Navy, Melville—made a unique setting for the occasion. In the main Reading Room were displayed a portrait of the father of General Meade, and three jewelled swords presented by the city of Philadelphia, the citizens of Philadelphia at the Great Sanitary Fair in 1864, and by his soldiers on the Rappahannock, respectively.

A Study of Civil War Leadership: Gettysburg as a Turning Point Written and Researched by Joseph Griffith Spring 2015 The Civil War was a pivotal and tragic period in our country’s history. The years that spanned from 1860-1865 were years that were paved with the blood of American men, and what determined whether these men lived or died was the men who led them. Civil War leadership on both sides of the battlefield was critical to the success of the Union and the failure of the Confederacy. Success did not happen overnight, however. The road for the Union was a long and frustrating one, with constant changes in leadership positions and a plague of poor generals. This was not the case for the whole war. The Battle of Gettysburg served as a turning point for the Union, and the Union rode this change to an eventual victory in the war.
