    College ILttirarjj FROM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ' THROUGH £> VICKSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK COMMISSION. RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

  • John Cook Was a Diminutive 4 Feet 9 Inches Tall Upon His Enlistment at the Age of 14 on June 7, 1861
    Photo courtesy of G. Dodge John Cook was a diminutive 4 feet 9 inches tall upon his enlistment at the age of 14 on June 7, 1861. He was born on August 10, 1846 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Before the war he was a laborer. At the Battle of Antietam, the young bugler was awarded the Medal of Honor for serving the guns. See story on page 25 . 6 ARLINGTON HISTORICAL MAGAZINE The Civil War Medal of Honor Recipients of Arlington National Cemetery BY GEORGE w. DODGE Medal of Honor recipients did not initially hold Arlington National Cemetery in high regard since it originated as a potter's field during the Civil War on May 13, 1864. Over 5,000 soldiers were interred within a year. 1 After the war, the remains of several thousand soldiers within a cir­ cuit of fifty miles from Washington were disinterred and reinterred in Ar­ lington. Many were unknown. It would take the burials of distinguished high-ranking officers to begin to alter the perception of Arlington Burial Grounds as a potter's field. When General Philip H. Sheridan died on August 5, 1888 at Nonquitt, Massachusetts, he held the highest ranking position in the U.S. armed forces. Sheridan is popularly regarded as one of the three most prominent Union gen­ erals from the Civil War, along with Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman.2 Sheridan's burial in front of the main entrance of Arlington House ushered in an era in which interment at Arlington was desirable. A series of interments of major generals and an admiral followed Sheridan's burial: General George Crook 1890 Admiral David Porter 1891 General Montgomery Meigs 1892 General Abner Doubleday 1893 General Stephen Burbridge 1894 General Walter Gresham 1895 General John Gibbon 1896 General John Mason 1897 General William Rosecrans 1898 General Horatio Wright 1899 The next sequence which gradually increased the status of Arlington Na­ tional Cemetery was the series of interments of 95 Civil War Mydal of Honor recipients.

Grant Collection, the researcher must take note of the manner in which the Papers of Ulysses Grant editorial project maintained its files. Names of individuals who often corresponded with, for, or about General Grant were shortened to their initials for the sake of brevity. In most instances, these individuals will be found by searching for their initials (however, this may not always be the case; searching the individual’s last name may yield additional results). The following is a list of individuals who appear often in the files, and, as such, will be found by searching their initials: Arthur, Chester Alan CAA Jones, Joseph Russell JRJ Babcock, Orville Elias (Aide) OEB Lagow, Clark B.

  • Alabama Blacks and the Congressional Reconstruction Acts of 1867," Alabama Review 31 (July 1978):182- 192
    182 Alabama Blacks and the Congressional Reconstruction Acts of 1867 LOREN SCHWENINGER IT WAS NEARLY DUSK, the oil lamps already casting shadows in the small chapel of the Florence African Methodist Episcopal Church, as James Rapier rose to address an audience of some one hundred and fifty recently emancipated slaves. The United States Congress, the Florence-born Rapier explained, had recently passed two laws affecting blacks in the former Confederate states. These acts divided the South into military districts, disfranchised certain ex-Confederates, enfranchised freedmen, authorized the election of delegates, including former bondsmen, to a state constitutional convention, and charged the convention with drafting a new state charter. Once the charter was ratified by a majority of the eligible and registered voters and approved by Congress, and once the state had ac- cepted a newly proposed amendment to the federal Con- stitution (the fourteenth), which granted blacks citizenship rights, the commonwealth could reenter the Union. The initial step in this process—the reason the meeting had been called—was to select Lauderdale County's voter registrar, an official responsible for keeping records of voter registration, providing state authorities with local election returns, and advising blacks as well as whites on their duties as electors. As the registrar would be the first black public officer in the history of Alabama, Rapier, who had been born free and educated for eight years in Canada, entreated the gathering to choose a man of exceptional intel- ligence, outstanding ability, and unquestioned integrity.
