  • 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.

  • United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
    3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

On MONDAY, June 24, the MRRT welcomes back Dr. Roger Rosentreter from MSU to speak on “Michigan at Gettysburg”. The 150th anniversary of the greatest battle ever fought on the North American continent will be this coming July 1-3. During this battle in a small farming town in southern Pennsylvania over 150,000 men made war on each other for three days. The state of Michigan had a major impact on the battle’s result, including General George Custer (Michigan’s Hero), the 24th Michigan on July 1st, the 16th Michigan on Little Round Top with the 20th Maine, and General Alpheus S. Williams. Dr. Rosentreter spoke to us last year on “Three Generals and an Unlucky Regiment: Michigan at Antietam”. He is a Michigan native and has taught history classes at Michigan State for over 20 years–primarily the American Civil War, Michigan history and 20th Century U.S. Military History. Roger co-authored two books with our friend, Lincoln scholar Dr. Weldon Petz: Seeking Lincoln in Michigan: A Remembrance Trail and Michigan Remembers Lincoln.

  • In Memoriam. Gen. Henry J. Hunt. 1819-1889
    Ge.nera.1 Henl"! J. Hu:nt. UBRARY OF CONGRESS \1~i\ll\~I\\\\\I\\\\~\\~I\\\I\\\~I\\\~\\\I\\\\\ 00019300195 Glass ------"~-='---~-- Book -,---~~~L- IN MEMORIAM. BY David Fitz Gerald. , ( · , I / (I£l1£ral ~£ltry ~. ~llllt. The Companion whose name heads this memoir, whose lamented death leaves a vacancy in the ranks of this Com­ mandery which can never be filled, and whose loss we most deeply deplore, was a man of no ordinary cast of character. He had seen much and varied service, and can be pointed to with pride as the beau ideal of the true American soldier, faithful to his country and her interests. He leaves behind him a name of which his family may be proud, and which future generations must admire. HENRY JACKSON HUNT was born at Detroit, Sept. 14, 181 9, of good old New England stock. He was a son of Lieut. Samuel Wellington Hunt, of the 3d Infantry, and a grandson of Capt. Thomas Hunt, of the Massachusetts Artillery, who served during the Revolutionary War, and was severely wounded in a storming party at the siege of Yorktown. He subsequently became Colonel of the 1st Infantry, and from him Gen. Hunt inherited the Order of the Cincinnati, which inheritance he very dearly prized. Gen. HUNT entered the U. S. Military Academy as a Sep­ tember "plebe" in 1835, being then a few days less than sixteen years old, and found himself among a class of youthful associates, some of whom were afterwards to serve with him on the bloody fields of Mexico, and others who were to serve both with him and against him on the still bloodier battle-fields of their own native land.

  • Artillery “When Properly Managed” Henry Hunt Vs. William N. Pendleton
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Military Park Seminar Artillery “When Properly Managed” Henry Hunt vs. William N. Pendleton Bert Barnett Lt. Colonel Tully McCrea was a young West Point–trained officer. During the battle of Gettysburg, he performed yeoman service as an artillerist on those famous fields. In 1898, he observed Gettysburg [Had] had been discussed from every point of view except that of the artillery; yet every account of the battle refers to the effectiveness of that arm. In this battle the whole of the artillery in both armies was fought for all it was worth and fully demonstrated the power and influence in battle of this battle when properly managed.1 [emphasis added.] The function of an army in combat is to kill people and break things. With increasingly lethal technologies appearing on the battlefield by the 1860’s, the largely defensive, yet long-ranged power of massed field artillery had increasingly proven its significance. The artillery commander who most effectively “managed” their “long arm” during battle was therefore most likely to guarantee a more complete victory for his commander – and so it would it prove during the Gettysburg Campaign. Given the terrain the battle unfolded across, the two supreme commanders on the field, General George Gordon Meade and General Robert E. Lee, would be at least in part, if not wholly, dependent upon the skill and actions of their prime subalterns for the requisite artillery dominance at key moments. For the Army of the Potomac, the lynch-pin of all of these facets was its Chief of Artillery, Henry Jackson Hunt.

  • “If Ever Men Stayed by Their Guns”
    “If Ever Men Stayed By Their Guns” Leadership in the 1st and 11th Corps Artillery on the First Day of the Battle of Gettysburg Bert Barnett During the Battle of Gettysburg, the roar of cannon mingled with the rattle of small arms during each phase of the engagement. Prominent among the Union forces desperately holding ground on July 1 were the artillery batteries of the 1st and 11th corps of the Army of the Potomac. In the face of heavy enemy fire from both Confederate infantry and artillery, these units repeatedly demonstrated their effectiveness, when well led, against the pressures of mounting numbers. Although ultimately unsuccessful in their defensive stand outside the town, these batteries provided valuable covering fire for their retreating infantry elements, helping to delay the Confederates. What follows is a close-up look at the differing levels of leadership ability within the 1st and 11th corps artillery, and how it shaped the outcome of the first day of battle, July 1, 1863. After the debacle of the Union disaster at Chancellorsville in May 1863, the Army of the Potomac was reorganized, and the artillery command structure was streamlined. Henceforth, all batteries in each corps were placed directly under the control of a single corps artillery chief and no longer attached to divisional commanders. These corps artillery chiefs reported directly to their respective corps commanders, but were also responsive to the overall chief of artillery, Brigadier General Henry Jackson Hunt.1 Hunt, an 1839 graduate of the United States Military Academy, had served in the artillery during the Mexican War and was twice brevetted, gaining the rank of major.
