Hazzard papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Immediate Source of Acquisition Purchased from T. L. Hazzard, May, 1952. Biographical / Historical Lemuel H. Hazzard (1843-1904) was a Sergeant, 1st Lieutenant, and then Captain of Co. I of the 12th Regiment of Indiana Infantry. The 12th was organized at Indianapolis in August 1862, and immediately left the state for Kentucky. The men took part in the disastrous battle of Richmond, Kentucky, when the green troops were routed by a much more experienced Confederate force under the command of Edmund Kirby Smith; the entire regiment was captured. Hazzard, along with his fellow soldiers, was paroled by the Confederate authorities in September 1862. The regiment was then returned to Indianapolis for reorganization; in November the men left for Memphis, Tennessee. In November and December, 1862, they took part in Ulysses S. Grant's Central Mississippi campaign, and then wintered in Tennessee, guarding railroads until June 1863 when the regiment was ordered to Vicksburg, Mississippi. The 12th fought at Vicksburg; Jackson; the Chattanooga-Ringgold Campaign; the Atlanta Campaign; operations in North Georgia and North Alabama; March to the Sea; the siege of Savannah; and the campaign of the Carolinas. After the war Hazzard moved to Missouri, where he worked as a carpenter, ran a furniture business, and from 1883 to 1884 was a clerk in the Railway Postal Service in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1884 he resigned his position, owing to a partial paralysis caused by a railroad accident. He died in March 1904 in Kansas City, Missouri. Please note, the family name was sometimes spelled "Hazard." Scope and Contents A collection of approximately 483 items from 1862 to 1919, which contains personal papers, Civil War diaries, notebooks, correspondence, documents, medals, and ephemera. The three pocket diaries cover the Atlanta Campaign (May to September 1864), Sherman's March to the Sea, and initial stages of the campaign in the Carolinas. Brief daily entries record military actions, camp life, and contain lists of casualties and procurement records. The notebooks contain brief records of expenses for 1864 to 1865. The letters addressed to Lemuel H. Hazzard from his friends and family in Iowa and other regiments discuss family matters and various aspects of the Civil War, including hospitals and the home front. Included is a letter from his brother William Hazzard who served with the 38th Regiment of Indiana Infantry. Lemuel H. Hazzard's letters to his wife Frances Hazzard depict social life in Salem, Missouri, 1872 to 1873. The collection also contains letters from William Hazzard, son of Lemuel and Frances, member of 2nd Regiment of Missouri Infantry of United States Veterans who, from 1899 to 1900, held a position at the Department of Posts in Havana, Cuba; also letters from son Lloyd Hazzard, Sergeant of Co. B of 115 Regiment of Engineers of American Expeditionary Corps stationed in France in 1919. The documents include Hazzard's parole issued by the Army of Kentucky on September 1, 1862, also documents relating to Hazzard's employment by the Railway Postal Service in Kansas City, Missouri, his business activities, and insurance. The Co. I of the 12th Regiment of Indiana Infantry documents consist of muster rolls, descriptive rolls, furloughs, quarterly returns of deceased soldiers; communications from various hospitals regarding patients from the company, ordnance and requisition records, and special orders.

    Kentucky and Kentuckians in the American Civil War: Nonfiction Materials Available at Madison County Public Library, Plus Selected Websites Voices From the Century Before: The Odyssey of a Nineteenth Century Kentucky Family (K/973.7/Ber in Richmond and Berea) by Mary Clay Berry. “A remarkable family album unfolding as a personal drama of slavery, Civil War and the turmoil of Reconstruction, these letters were written between 1843 and 1867 by men who fought, variously, for both the Union and the Confederacy. Her great-grandfather Brutus Clay, one of Kentucky's major slave owners, was a staunchly conservative yet pro-Union, border-state congressman whose anti-abolitionist stance was diametrically opposite that of his brother Cassius Clay, outspoken opponent of slavery and emancipationist newspaper publisher...The chatty letters, skillfully linked by Berry's commentary, yield an unvarnished account of the brutal realities of slavery, and are a window on Lincoln's election and the war's outbreak and bloody course…” (--Publishers Weekly) The Battle of Perryville, 1862: Culmination of the Failed Kentucky Campaign (K/973.7/Bro in Richmond) by Robert P. Broadwater. “In 1862, the South launched a campaign to bring the indecisive border state of Kentucky into the Confederacy. Full of blunders and missed opportunities, the campaign convinced the Kentuckians that the Confederacy was incapable of holding the state against determined Union forces. Among the disasters was the bloody battle of Perryville. Drawing on research in letters, diaries and regimental histories, this book tells the story of the South's ill-fated effort.” (--from the publisher) Glory at a Gallop: Tales of the Confederate Cavalry (973.7/Bro in Berea) by William R.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • The Kentucky Campaign, the Battle of Antietam, and the War in Virginia and the West,1862-1863 the Strategic Situation of the South in 1862
    The Kentucky Campaign, The Battle of Antietam, and the War in Virginia and the West,1862-1863 The strategic situation of the South in 1862 The Confederate states recognized from the outset of the Civil War that they had disadvantages in terms of population and industrial output. Their strategy was to take advantage of their compact geography, with internal lines of communication, their military heritage (Southerners had been disproportionately the officers of the United States Army), and their greater enthusiasm for their cause to wear down the Union will to wage war. They also believed the Britain, with its heavy dependence on Southern cotton to supply its mills, would be at worst neutral with a bias in their favor, and they dreamed of direct European assistance.Their specific strategies included privateering in the Atlantic to harass New England merchants with ships like the Alabama and putting pressure on Washington DC, whose city limits fronted on the Confederate state of Virginia. The South believed that since they did not intend to occupy and hold Northern territory, they would be fighting principally in defense of their homeland and their soldiers would consequently have greater morale and stronger commitment to the cause. In the end, the Southern strategy was to want to win more than the Union did, and this proved to be an illusion. In the end, the Southern strategy was to want to win more than the Union did, and this proved to be an illusion.

  • Traveling Civil War Kentuck
    VOL. LI, NO. 1 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 January 2011 Welcome back to all our members and friends as we begin our 51st year of existence! * * * * * The border state of Kentucky was strongly nationalistic but economically pro-South. For a generation prior to the Civil War, Kentucky had straddled the borderline of conflict with its statesmen working for compromise. With the coming of war, its governor, Beriah Magoffin, refused to honor President Lincoln's call for troops, and the state legislature, on May 20, 1861, resolved to remain neutral. At the war's beginning both Union and Confederacy seemed intent on honoring Kentucky's pledge of neutrality. However, the Blue Grass State's precarious neutrality could not last as troops from both sides infiltrated the state quickly. Lincoln's difficulties with his own state persisted throughout the war. At one point Lincoln requested Maj. Gen. John Fremont to "modify" his proclamation which ordained freedom for slaves of rebellious owners, threatened the death penalty for certain secessionists and confiscated their property. Lincoln felt that the proclamation "will alarm our Southern Union friends, and turn them against us-perhaps ruin our rather fair prospect for Kentucky." Later in the war when the Confederate cavalry of John Hunt Morgan was raiding the state with impunity, an exasperated Lincoln wired Henry Halleck, the ranking Federal commander in the department: "They are having a stampede in Kentucky. Please look to it." Kentucky soldiers in the Confederate army held a convention at Russellville in November of 1861, and adopted an ordinance of secession.
