    VOL. XLI, NO. 4 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 April 2001 Elmwood Cemetery, located just over a mile east of the RenCen near Lafayette and McDougall, ranks as one of Michigan’s most pristine landmarks. Founded in 1846 it covers 86 acres and is the burial spot of more than 60,000 with veterans from the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf War. More Civil War veterans are buried there, over 635, than any single cemetery in the state of Michigan. The list includes 28 generals, 2 Medal of Honor winners, and oddly 2 Confederates. It also includes the first Michigan soldier wounded in the Civil War and the doctor who attended him. This month’s presentation is entitled, “Civil War Heroes Remembered at Elmwood Cemetery.” Our guest speaker, Chancey Miller, is the General Manager of Elmwood, having been there since 1990.

  • General George Doles' Georgia Brigade on July 1
    “We sleep here in obedience to law; when duty called we came, when country called we died.” General George Doles’ Georgia Brigade on July 1 Matt Atkinson July 1, 1863, 2:00 P.M.: The sporadic crack of rifles and the booming of artillery reverberated across the plain and beyond the tree line in front of the Georgians who comprised the brigade led by Brigadier General George Doles. As the soldiers sought to assuage their sore feet and dry throats, there must have been reflection on the prior two years of sanguinary conflict. So many lives lost, so many close calls for the survivors. Now here they were, after all this marching, face to face once again with their familiar foe. Maybe this battle would be the last. Maybe this battle would gain their country’s independence. Maybe after this battle, they could go home. Collectively, the four regiments comprising Doles’ brigade, the 4th, 44th, 12th, and 21st Georgia, had seen much combat prior to the Army of Northern Virginia’s march onto the fields of Gettysburg. The 4th Georgia was organized in 1861 under the command of then-Colonel Doles to defend the nascent Confederacy. From 1861 to 1863, the regiment served consecutively in the brigades of Albert G. Blanchard, Ambrose Wright, and Roswell Ripley and participated in the battles of Seven Days (Malvern Hill), Sharpsburg (Miller’s Cornfield), and Fredericksburg.1 At Gettysburg, the 4th Georgia would be under the command of Lt. Col. David R. E. Winn. Winn, a native of Americus, Georgia, began his military career as a first lieutenant in the Confederate army and rose through the ranks to lieutenant colonel by November 1862.

Such were the pleasing assurances that began to burst on us in the West on Tuesday morning. All Pennsylvania seemed to be quivering in spasms over the invasion. Pittsburgh suspended business and went to fortifying; veracious gentlemen along the railroad lines and in little villages of the interior rushed to the telegraph offices and did their duty to their country by giving their fears to the wings of the lightning. I was quietly settling myself in comfortable quarters at the Neil House to look on at the counterpart of last week’s Vallandigham Convention1 when dispatches reached me, urging an immediate 1 Reid’s reference is to the Ohio state Democratic convention, which convened in Columbus on June 11 and nominated Clement L. Vallandigham for the gover- norship. A leader of the northern Peace Democrats (often called Copperheads), Vallandigham had been arrested for treason on May 5, 1863, and, following banish- ment to Confederate lines, took up exile in Canada that July. The peace movement in the North gained thousands of adherents in the spring of 1863. 99781405181129_4_001.indd781405181129_4_001.indd 1 99/9/2008/9/2008 88:02:01:02:01 PPMM 2 Two Witnesses at Gettysburg departure for the scene of action. I was well convinced that the whole affair was an immense panic, but the unquestioned movements of Lee and Hooker gave certain promise to something; and besides, whether grounded or groundless, the alarm of invasion was a subject that demanded attention.2 And so, swallowing my disgust at the irregular and unauthorized demonstrations of the rebels, I hastened off.

  • ^Alexander Schimmelfennig
    ^Alexander Schimmelfennig <zA G}erman-<±American Campaigner in the Civil War A LEXANDER SCHIMMELFENNTG was one of the more than two /\ hundred thousand German-born citizens who served the JL JL Union in the Civil War. Though he rose to the rank of brigadier general, commanded a brigade at the Second Battle of Bull Run and at Chancellorsville and a division in the first day's fighting at Gettysburg, the historical accounts of the war scarcely mention his name. The few biographical sketches that have appeared are sparse in details and often inaccurate. One can find several reasons which help to account for the neglect of this experienced soldier and refugee from the German revolution of 1848. Schimmelfennig was not the type of man who would impress either soldiers or historians. He was small in stature and of slender build, and generally dressed in old uniforms with no concern for his appearance. His disposition, probably related to his chronic dys- pepsia, was cross and somewhat asocial. He cared little for the com- pany of his officers, speaking to them only to give orders.1 There was, moreover, considerable prejudice in the Army against foreign-born soldiers. They were frequently ridiculed because of their unfamiliar names and mannerisms, were often considered unworthy of command, and in several instances served conveniently as scape- goats for their commanders' errors. Schimmelfennig experienced all the frustrations of this group, and his name has shared the cloud of controversy that has continued to hang over these troops.2 1 Otto F. von Fritsch, A Gallant Captain of the Civil War> ed.
