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.

H-FedHist Neumann on Fanebust, 'Brigadier General Robert L. McCook and Colonel Daniel McCook, Jr.: A Union Army Dual Biography' Review published on Monday, February 15, 2021 Wayne Fanebust. Brigadier General Robert L. McCook and Colonel Daniel McCook, Jr.: A Union Army Dual Biography. Jefferson: McFarland, 2017. 242 pp. $35.00 (paper), ISBN 978-1-4766-6986-1. Reviewed by Ellen Neumann (Independent Scholar) Published on H-FedHist (February, 2021) Commissioned by Caryn E. Neumann (Miami University of Ohio Regionals) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55941 The Fighting McCooks were the most prominent military family during the Civil War. They were loyal Union men from the Midwest who volunteered to serve and sometimes died in combat. It is this ordinariness that grabbed the public’s attention rather than any exceptional event. After the war, the brothers and cousins, including Major General Alexander McCook, were soon forgotten. Wayne Fanebust, who wrote a biography of Major General McCook, turns his attention to two of the war dead in this book. Brigadier General Robert L. McCook of Ohio was a Cincinnati lawyer who raised the entirely German- born 9th Ohio Infantry regiment. The men elected him to serve as colonel. Unlike many political colonels, McCook proved quite competent and quite brave. He and his men helped push the Confederacy out of western Virginia, leading to the formation of the state of West Virginia. McCook and the 9th Ohio were sent to Kentucky to block any Confederate incursions into the state. At the Battle of Mill Spring, McCook led a bayonet charge that resulted in the death of Confederate general Felix Zollicoffer.

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.
