  • 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.

  • THE HOWLING DAWG January 2018
    THE HOWLING DAWG January 2018 “ONE DAWG TO RULE THEM ALL” 16th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G "The Jackson Rifles" LEE & JACKSON - HOW THEY LIVED THEIR LIVES “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore … Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter…” - Revelation 1:18 & 19 John Paul Strain BATTLEFIELD PRAYER Generals Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and J.E.B. Stuart Fredericksburg, Virginia - Near Hamilton's Crossing - December 12, 1862 LEE & JACKSON In January we welcome the new year by making a concerted attempt to honor Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson near the date of their respective births (January 19th & 21st). Since this has been done for more than 150 years, it is now difficult to find new words of tribute regarding these extraordinary lives. Some acts, once obscure, have now become more accessible. As much as I enjoy reading of the military campaigns for which these great men are so vastly famous, I savor, even more, the accounts of the exemplary lives they lived before God and man. Few native-born Americans even approach the standard they set. I will not recap the standard facts about Generals Lee and Jackson but simply share a few anecdotes that impressed me. They may not be new to you. LEE “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” – Proverbs 4:18 Robert Edward Lee “was a great person, not so much because of what he did; he was great because of the way he lived; because of what he was.” (Emory Thomas) “He always dreamed of being a small businessman, an independent farmer and may have even regretted becoming a soldier.

Israel, Jeptha, and Kenner Garrard and their step brother Nathaniel McLean return from the Civil War. The Union Army awarded Israel, Jeptha, and Nathaniel the rank of Brigadier General and Kenner, a West Point graduate, was a Major General. Israel served with the 7th Ohio Volunteer Calvary and was on the Atlanta campaign with Sherman and at the battle of Nashville. After graduating from West Point in 1851, Kenner spent 10 years with the US Calvary in the southwest territories and, during the Civil War, led troops at Gettysburg, Atlanta, and Nashville. Kenner, a career soldier, spent little time in Frontenac and died at the age of 52. Lewis Garrard remained in Frontenac during the Civil War due to his health and managed the family’s Frontenac interests. The Garrard brothers are the grandsons of James Garrard, the 2nd Governor of Kentucky for which Garrard County Kentucky is named and the grandsons of Israel Ludlow, a surveyor who owned much of what is now Cincinnati, OH and for which Ludlow, Kentucky is named. Ludlow is in Florence County, Kentucky across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, OH.

  • The War Comes to Atlanta
    The War Comes to Atlanta http://civilwar150.longwood.edu The week of July 20 to 26, 1864, was a very eventful week for the Confederate and Union troops. This week includes the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the Battle of Atlanta, the second Battle of Kernstown, and the beginning of Stoneman’s Raid in Georgia. All of these events took place in Georgia. During the Battle of Peachtree Creek on July 20, 1864, the fighting started when George Thomas crossed the Peachtree Creek with the Union army heading in Atlanta’s direction. When Hood caught wind of this, he started to organize his army to attack. The Confederates attacked but the Union army held them off. Another skirmish during the day occurred at Leggett’s Hill. There was also fighting in the Shenandoah, where the Union troops tried to drive the Confederates out of the Valley of Virginia. There were engagements at Stephenson’s Depot but the bulk of the Confederate army pulled out and marched towards Strasburg. There were also skirmishes in Tennessee, Missouri and in Idaho Territory. On Thursday, July 21, 1864, the Union troops moved for Atlanta. Sherman’s army had the place surrounded as they prepared to fight. The Union troops took Leggett’s Hill despite Cleburne’s heroic attempts to defend it. On Friday, July 22, 1864, the famed Battle of Atlanta took place. When the Confederates arrived, William Hardee’s men hit the flank of McPherson’s men before getting to Atlanta. They were able to stall McPherson’s advance. McPherson’s line was reinforced where Hardee was attacking.
