  • General John Daniel Imboden Copyright
    General John Daniel Imboden copyright: Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. June 2001 Big Stone Gap, Va. Few people are as of great an importance to the history of far Southwest Virginia as John D. Imboden. He and a few others transformed that region from the poverty stricken isolation of the post Civil War period into the modern industrial age. John Daniel Imboden was born on his family plantation near Staunton, Virginia on Feb. 16, 1823, the son of George William and Isabella Wunderlich Imboden. He attended Washington College, now called Washington and Lee, and after graduation taught school while he read law. After passing the bar, he opened a law office in Staunton, and used this as a base for his election twice to the General Assembly. After the bombardment of Fort Sumter President Lincoln called for volunteers to put down the rebellion of the southern states. Virginia called a secession convention instead, and Imboden was elected as a delegate to it, and voted for secession. He returned to Staunton where he used his prestige to raise the volunteer Staunton Artillery, and became its Captain. Together they fought at First Manassas, where he supported General Bee, who gave Stonewall Jackson his nickname during this battle. Later he captured the U. S. Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, and again demonstrated his recruiting abilities by raising the Partisan Rangers, which became the 62nd Virginia Mounted Infantry, and with which he fought at Cross Keys, New Market, and at Port Republic under Stonewall Jackson. He was on Early's Washington campaign. In January 1863 he became a Brigadier General and lead a raid into West Virginia where he cut the B & O Railroad, and confiscated the thousands of cattle and horses from local farmers which enabled Lee to take his Army of Northern Virginia into the Gettysburg Campaign.

Trey Meyer HIS 104 Honors Paper The Valley Campaign of 1864 and Ramifications for the War In 1861 the Civil War began and brought with it four years of devastation and destruction along with hundreds of thousands of casualties. The United States hung in the balance for these four crucial years and the battles and campaigns would decide the future of the nation. The Valley Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in 1864 was a crucial campaign that helped decide the fate of the war and the nation. In the summer of 1864, the United States was still locked in the bloodiest engagement in its history. In the countryside of Virginia, Union General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee were slamming into each other’s armies trying to pressure the other side into defeat, leaving scores of dead in their wake (David and Greenwalt Chapter 1). Confederate General Jubal Early, under the command of General Lee, had cleared the Shenandoah Valley of Yankee soldiers. Now, in July of 1864, General Early had the dome of the U.S.

  • An Analysis of Robert E. Lee and His Corps Commanders in the Civil War
    CHAIN OF COMMAND: AN ANALYSIS OF ROBERT E. LEE AND HIS CORPS COMMANDERS IN THE CIVIL WAR Aaron D. Lewis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Benjamin Greene, Advisor A. Dwayne Beggs Michael E. Brooks © 2016 Aaron Lewis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Benjamin Greene, Advisor Robert E. Lee remains a mythical figure within the culture of the southern United States. Proponents of the Southern “Lost Cause of the Confederacy” argued that he embodied the idea of Southern morality and toughness. Lee’s accomplishments on the battlefield are what brought him such admiration in the south. The Confederate cause of “freedom,” Southerners believed, was still attainable as long as Marse Robert commanded the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee frequently led his undersized and under-equipped army to victory over the Union armies of the Eastern Theatre during the first half of the Civil War. Using a wide variety of primary sources, from the Official Records to the personal letters and memoirs of Civil War commanders, I argue that Lee directly benefitted from the abilities of Stonewall Jackson, and once he died, Lee’s ability to win on the battlefield greatly diminished. Victories at Antietam and Chancellorsville were the product of Lee’s quick-thinking, boldness, and a clear explanation of what he expected of his commanders, as well as the incompetence of the Union commanders he faced. Lee’s defeat at Gettysburg, however, is the product of poor clarification by Lee as to what he expected of his commanders, and his inability to consider the input of his subordinates.

  • CIVIL WAR at 150
    CIVIL WAR at 150 In the summer of 1864 the Civil War came to Montgomery County again. This time the Confederates were led by Gen. Jubal Early, a cantankerous old man, on orders from General Robert E. Lee, to threaten Washington DC. If the bold plan worked, Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant would have to send some of the soldiers now surrounding Petersburg-Richmond back to defend the Union's capital. Follow the day-by-day account leading up to the Battle of Ft. Stevens barely two miles from the yet-to-be Takoma Park, on July 11-12, 1864. This account is not intended to be comprehensive, but to give a flavor of the military activities of each day. June 13, 1864 – Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal Early and his troops slip away from Richmond unnoticed, under orders to reach Lynchburg before Union Maj. Gen. David Hunter could capture its rail lines. Early's men cheer when they turn west into the Shenandoah Valley. June 14, 1864 – In addition to Early's main force, additional Confederate units of infantry, artillery and cavalry are hurrying toward Lynchburg's defense. June 15, 1864 – Meanwhile, Union troops under Hunter take time out to burn local farms instead of pushing to Lynchburg, unaware that Rebels are on the move. This “scorched earth” policy will have ramifications in coming weeks. June 16, 1864 – Rebel troops reach Charlottesville. Early arranges for trains to ferry his exhausted troops to Lynchburg. Delays getting the cars, and only enough for half his forces. They finally board at 2 am on the 17th.

  • The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy 1805-1915
    Walter Havighurst Special Collections Miami University Libraries The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy 1805-1915 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Title: The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy Creators: Sutton C. Richey and Samuel W. Richey Dates: 1805-1915 Media: Correspondence, manuscript documents, printed material, photographs, framed items Quantity: 4 cubic feet Location: Closed stacks COLLECTION SUMMARY This collection includes over 500 pieces of correspondence relating to Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, and Confederate generals, including G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Samuel Cooper, Joseph E. Johnson, Robert E. Lee, James A. Seddon, E. Kirby Smith, Richard Taylor, and William H. Thomas, among other noted figures of the Civil War and the mid- to late-19th century. Correspondence of Varina Davis, Mary Randolph Custis Lee, and Mary Custis Lee, together with some photographs and other pieces of ephemera, can also be found in the collection. PROVENANCE OF THE COLLECTION This collection was begun by Sutton C. Richey (1837-1900). After studying Miami University in 1854 and 1855, Richey worked as a druggist in Oxford, Ohio from 1857 to 1891. Richey also served as treasurer of Miami University (1869-1900) and the Village of Oxford (1874-1900). 2 Admiration for Robert E. Lee as a leader, educator and gentleman inspired Sutton Richey’s son, Samuel W. Richey (1874-1973), to become interested in Jefferson Davis and collect documents relating to his career. An 1894 graduate of Miami University, Samuel Richey worked as a Cincinnati lumber broker. The majority of this collection was donated to Miami University in 1960; other items were acquired more recently as a result of an endowment that provides funds to purchase important items complementing the contents of the original collection.

Burr Artz Library 110 E. Patrick St, Frederick, Maryland Speaker: Erik Davis and Paul Bolcik, Center for Civil War Photography Topic: Confederates in Frederick: New Insights on a Famous Photo Please join us at the C. Burr Artz Library in the CBA Community Room on Tuesday November 27th for a discussion about the famous photograph of Confederates in Frederick, Maryland during the Civil War. Long thought to have been taken on East Patrick Street, recent discoveries or reevaluation of evidence shows that this may not be the case. Erik Davis and Paul Bolcik spent 3 years researching Frederick's most famous Civil War photograph. They will discuss their methodology and their findings regarding the photo location and the time it was taken. This event is cosponsored by the library. The CCWP is a non-profit organization devoted to one of the most exciting and compelling areas of Civil War scholarship and discovery. New photographic finds from our nation's greatest conflict are still being made on a regular basis. Nearly every Civil War soldier had his photograph taken by one of the more than 5,000 American photographers active at the time, and a select group of documentary photographers took thousands of images on the battlefields and in the army camps, often in 3D. Newsletter 1 In Case You Missed It……. At our October 18th meeting about 20 attendees were on hand for Karen Whitehair’s presentation about artifacts at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
