  • Using Communication Theory in the Analysis of Controversial Gettysburg Orders
    USING COMMUNICATION THEORY IN THE ANALYSIS OF CONTROVERSIAL GETTYSBURG ORDERS John D. Wedo and Terrence L. Salada Many controversies surrounding historical battles center on orders. The outcome of combat, victory or loss, might be partly due to certain features of commands issued before or during fighting: Were they received on time? Were they obeyed? Were they clear? Did they allow for proper judgment on the part of the receiver? For example, were the instructions sent from Washington, D.C, to commanders in the Pacific before the Pearl Harbor attack explicit enough? Such inquiry is particularly apt for the American Civil War, for which even today historians still parse certain controversial orders: Did Confederate General Robert E. Lee's directives to General James (Jeb) Stuart give him the discretion to ride around the Federal army during the Gettysburg campaign? This paper analyzes several contentious messages from that campaign employing characteristics of communication theory (CT). The Gettysburg campaign ran from June 3, 1863, to July 14, 1863, and is considered by many to be the most controversial of the war. After reviewing the characteristics relevant to battle orders, the paper then offers examples of other historical orders, often considered successful or unsuccessful from both the Civil War and World War II. Analysis of controversial commands is usually done in situ, discussing only the situation, transmitter, message, medium, receiver, and the result without comparison. Alternately, the core of this paper examines five 1 controversial Gettysburg orders, applying CT precepts and measuring the conclusions against other successful and unsuccessful orders. Analysis of orders is a critical step in clarifying either why a battle occurred or why it occurred as it did.

  • “The Largest Men We Have Seen”: the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Infantry, 1861-64
    BLAKE BENHAM “The Largest Men We Have Seen”: The Twenty-Seventh Indiana Infantry, 1861-64 any regiments in the American Civil War are reflected upon in a positive light for their heroism and self-sacrifice, yet perhaps none is more deserving of such glorified remembrance than the Twenty- Seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Comprised of around 1,181 officers, privates, and young musicians from numerous south- central Indiana counties, the Twenty-Seventh answered President Abraham Lincoln’s call to arms and began serving for the Union in September of 1861.1 This unusually tall group of men intimidated, and at the same time eclipsed in height, the enemy regiments in the cornfields at Antietam, en route to discovering the lost orders of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. This chance occurrence subse- quently led to a Union victory on the Maryland battlefield and poten- tially altered the course of the conflict. In addition to providing a thor- ough historical account of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Infantry, the intent of this paper, aided by the use of personal letters, newspapers, military correspondence, and secondary texts, is to acknowledge the regiment’s illustrious lore and the contributions it made to the Union victory. The Twenty-Seventh Indiana Infantry ultimately proved to be a truly unique and particularly successful regiment for the Union army. Recruitment commenced in 1861 after Lincoln’s plea for more man- power and also in coordination with the Union loss at the first Battle of Bull Run, which contributed heavily to the strong anti-Confederate sentiment present in the regiment.2 The Twenty-Seventh was divided 38 THE TWENTY-SEVENTH INDIANA INFANTRY into 11 companies, each representing a different Indiana county.

Adams – Commander Issue 3-15 Greetings to all Brothers: I just wanted to take a moment to comment on a few items for all of us to consider now that summer is coming to an official end. Fall brings many of us back to our regular camp meetings. Depending on your camp, your meetings may not have been held regularly over the summer. This is not unusual due to vacations and each camp working projects or attending events where we can make more people aware of the SUVCW. I know for Porter Camp the summer is one of our busiest times attending local festivals and historical events. It seems almost a relief to get back to the regular meetings and the meals we share before the meeting. But as we get back in our meeting routine please remember that we need to make them more than just fellowship time with our Brothers. There are a number of areas we can always be improving and finding better ways to continue the memory of the Boy’s in Blue. Examples of this can be improving our camp newsletters to be sure all members are included in our camps information and plans. This can make those far away feel some sense of belonging if they can’t always attend.

  • Battles of Antietam & Fredericksburg
    Battles of Antietam & Fredericksburg - 1862 The Uphill Battle Tabitha M. Richards Overview: "The army that holds the high ground wins; the army with superior numbers wins." During the American Civil War more than once this ideal was proven wrong. This lesson explores the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg in 1862. It compares how numbers were outweighed by topography and prior knowledge of battlegrounds, but also how superior numbers claimed victory. Students will use topographic maps to form a conjecture as to which side will win the battle. Connection to National Geography Standards: Geography Standard 1: How to use maps and other geographic representations, geospatial technologies, and spatial thinking to understand and communicate information. Geography Standard 13: How the forces of cooperation and conflict among people influence the division and control of Earth's surface. Geography Standard 15: How physical systems affect human systems. Geography Standard 17: How to apply geography to interpret the past. Connection to Oregon Geography Content Standards: HS.14: Create and use maps, technology, imagery and other geographical representations to extrapolate and interpret geographic data. HS.15: Analyze and illustrate geographic issues by synthesizing data derived from geographic representations.

  • The Role of Intelligence in the Civil War Part II: Support to Military Operations Lecture Two: Union Intelligence in Transition – Mcclellan, Burnside, Hooker
    The Role of Intelligence in the Civil War Part II: Support to Military Operations Lecture Two: Union Intelligence in Transition – McClellan, Burnside, Hooker No Professional Military Intelligence Structure: As we will see, until 1863, neither side created a professional Military Intelligence structure – relying instead on civilians & amateurs. Commanders also tended to do their own analysis. Why?! At that time, the conduct of military intelligence was considered a “ function of command,” which any professional soldier could perform. It did not require any special skills. Like: “Anyone can cook.” MCCLELLAN APPROACH – ARROGANCE & AMATEURS • We saw in Part I, how Allen Pinkerton was hired by Samuel Felton , President of Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore RR to protect Lincoln - which he did. On 21 April (9 days after attack on Ft. Sumter) Pinkerton wrote to Lincoln offering his services to start: “obtaining information on the movements of traitors, or safely convey your letters or dispatches.” Before the President could respond, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan asked Pinkerton to set up a military intelligence service for McClellan’s command – the Division of the Ohio. Pinkerton agreed and, with several detectives, headed for McClellan’s HQ in Cincinnati. Pinkerton remained a civilian, but took a new cover alias – Major E.J. Allen. o Allen Pinkerton Background : Born, Glasgow (1819). Came to U.S. at age 23, worked as deputy sheriff & Chicago policeman. In 1850, founded his own agency. Created early “Detectives Code of Conduct” – “no addiction to drink, smoking, card playing, low dives or…slang.” o The sign on his HQs was a huge eye & company motto: “We Never Sleep.

  • Intelligence in the Civil War Lecture Three
    Tradecraft and Technology – Intelligence in the Civil War Lecture Three: Union Intelligence in Transition – McClellan, Burnside and Hooker A. McClellan Approach – Arrogance & Amateurs • McClellan hired Pinkerton to set up a military intelligence service for his command. • Pinkerton collected useful information from spies in Richmond and by interviewing POW’s and deserters; but he performed no collation, validation or analysis. • Pinkerton’s strength (OB) estimates for Lee’s army were inflated due to flawed methodology in his calculations • McClellan used these civilian amateurs and politicized intelligence to suit his purposes. • Pinkerton worked for a general who did not really use intelligence except to justify his own dislike of fighting. B. Lee Approach – No Organized Intelligence Staff • Lee’s Hqs received information; but lacked dedicated staff to sort, evaluate and analyze it to produce finished Intelligence • Lee recognized key tactical intelligence and acted on it – based on his long experience, judgment & natural aggressiveness. • Lack of resources to maintain Union Order of Battle and other data proves to be a key failing against more capable opponents. C. Lost Special Order 191 – Greatest Intelligence Coup of Civil War • September 1862: Lee invaded Maryland in a bold strategic move to end the war. • McClellan was given a lost copy of Lee’s Special Order 191 (outlining his plan for the campaign) • McClellan had Lee’s plan; but, through delay and caution, squandered the opportunity to destroy his opponent. • Battle of South Mountain – successful Confederate holding action to buy time for Lee’s forces to gather. • Battle of Antietam: Bloodiest day in American history (23,000 casualties) was a tactical intelligence failure for McClellan, who missed several opportunities to win battle, destroy Lee’s army and end the war.
