  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: from the Brigade Commander: Ed Root
    June 2017 – Winter Campaign 39: Meeting on June 06, 2017 Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: June 6th is our annual Seligman Dinner. As George Seligman passed away in 1985, many of you never had the pleasure to have known George. Every organization has one member who leaves an indelible imprint. George was an Air Force veteran and was in the insurance business. He was always cheerful and didn’t have a shy bone in his body. It was George who led a small group of Civil War history enthusiasts from the rather formal setting of the Lehigh County Court House to the promised land of monthly dinner meetings and a membership that grew from dozens to hundreds. George, while our gregarious leader, always prodded others into the front, always encouraged others to step up and share the responsibility and the fun of being part of this wonderful round table. George loved to keep things loose and nary a meeting went by without someone being picked on in a loving and caring manner. In fact, it was an honor to be so chosen. He made it clear that we were all students of history, that some may be very knowledgeable and others novices, but the point was that even the most serious and knowing could and did learn from the novice. George loved the story of Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Gettysburg in a time long before the Ken Burn’s series made him a household name. Our success over the years is due in great part to the foundation and standard that George set.

The Histories, Volume 5, Number 2 16 The Lost Cause Mythology contains great “What if..." questions; of these, one of the greatest is what would have happened if General Thomas (Stonewall) J. Jackson had not been killed so early on in the Civil War. Jackson was a disciplined and aggressive commander but as with all mythology, the facts have been exaggerated. Three discrepancies exist that portray Jackson as a good general but not the iconic figure found in most historical accounts. Jackson’s tendency towards secrecy prevented him from sharing his plans and intentions with subordinates, fellow commanders, and superiors. His stubborn nature was problematic, and resulted in a constant stream of courts-martial, which he was almost too willing to use against other officers, as well as in general discord, even amongst his most senior officers. He has been deemed a military genius, but he was only a genius as compared to the Union commanders that he faced in battle.

  • The Vulnerability of the Union War Effort to Naval Attacks at the Beginning of the US Civil War David G. Surdam
    The Vulnerability of the Union War Effort to Naval Attacks at the Beginning of the US Civil War David G. Surdam The Confederate warship Virginia's short-lived triumph in March 1862 triggered a latent fear among some northerners, perhaps exemplified by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton's fit of panic. Upon hearing of the ironclad warship Virginia's successful sortie and apparent invulnerability against a northern fleet anchored in Hampton Roads off the southern Virginia coast, Stanton feared that the ironclad would destroy the remainder of the Union fleet there and scuttle General George McClellan's campaign against Richmond. He further feared that the ironclad would then steam up the Atlantic coast and wreak havoc upon northern ports, and he warned New York officials to block the entrances to the port. Confederate Secretary of the Navy Stephen Mallory hoped for this very result. Virginia's dubious seaworthiness and the Federal warship Monitor squelched Mallory's hopes and allayed Stanton's fears. Prior to Virginia's attack, northern nerves were upset by the Trent incident and the attendant possibility of British naval attacks.1 Virginia's failure to fulfill the Confederacy's hopes should not disguise the unease northerners felt about potential naval attacks. Northerners certainly were familiar with the effects of naval attacks: the War of 1812 was reminder enough. Was the northern war effort vulnerable to naval attacks? Was it important that the Federal navy prevented the nascent Confederate navy or the powerful British navy from attacking northern ports? The vulnerability or invulnerability of the northern war effort to naval attacks has received little attention from historians, possibly because Confederate naval attacks seemed unlikely and because the Trent incident ended quietly.
