  • “The Batteries Fired with Very Decided Effect”

    “The Batteries Fired with Very Decided Effect”

    “The Batteries Fired With Very Decided Effect” Confederate Artillery Operations on the First Day at Gettysburg Bert Barnett About 5:00 A.M. on July 1, 1863, Confederate infantry of Henry Heth’s division of General Ambrose Powell Hill’s corps began its fateful move toward Gettysburg, some eight miles distant. Supporting it were the artillery battalions of majors David McIntosh and William Pegram, positioned somewhere among the leading units of the advancing column. Containing thirty-six guns of varying descriptions, these two artillery commands were veterans of many previous fields. Although perhaps not anticipating a major engagement this day, they were supremely confident in their combat abilities. It was a confidence that represented the experience of many hard-fought battles.1 Under fire since birth, the new nation and its army had struggled to outfit, equip, and organize. The problems in the artillery service seemed at first nearly insurmountable, with only forty-seven field guns (mostly obsolete six-pounders of Mexican-War vintage) available for use at First Manassas. Domestic production measures were implemented, but ultimately the number of guns produced in the Confederacy failed to meet demand. To rapidly acquire more, the industry-poor South employed a variety of stop-gap measures, including General Orders Number 90, issued on November 19, 1862. This directive instructed the “… chief of artillery … [to] make 197 such dispositions of the teams attached to the battery wagons and travelling forges as will render them most available for the purpose of securing artillery captured on the battlefield.”2 Although designed strictly as a measure to bolster the strength of the army by acquiring more guns, it planted the seeds of something more disruptive within the service.

  • Civil War Veterans Interred in Plymouth Massachusetts Cemeteries

    Civil War Veterans Interred in Plymouth Massachusetts Cemeteries. Compiled by Diane Maguire and David Chandler, ©2017. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president of the United States in 1933, his top priority was to lift the nation out of the Great Depression that had begun with the Wall Street Crash of October 1929. The main problem in 1933 was that the economy had pretty much become stagnant: the average person had no extra money so he or she didn’t buy any consumer goods; the factories that made consumer goods went out of business; the trucking companies that transported raw materials to the factories and goods to the consumer also went out of business; so the remedy seemed to be to put cash in people’s pockets, in any way possible. To accomplish this Roosevelt established a vast number of agencies and policies that collectively became known as the New Deal. Many of these were what we might call “make work” projects: the government hired artists to paint murals in post offices and other government buildings, writers to write the histories of states and cities, and unskilled laborers to build highways and limber camps that had never before been thought necessary. The main agency overseeing these projects was the Works Progress Administration or WPA. The American Legion, an organization founded after World War One to promote the rights of veterans, had already begun in 1930 to compile lists of all veterans buried in US cemeteries. The Legion used volunteers for this task, so the results were haphazard. In some cities and towns avid volunteers took to the job eagerly; in others almost nothing was done.
