    H-Indiana McMullen on Willett, 'The Lightning Mule Brigade: Abel Streight's 1863 Raid into Alabama' Review published on Monday, May 1, 2000 Robert L. Willett, Jr. The Lightning Mule Brigade: Abel Streight's 1863 Raid into Alabama. Carmel: Guild Press of Indiana, 1999. 232 pp. $18.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-57860-025-0. Reviewed by Glenn L. McMullen (Curator of Manuscripts and Archives, Indiana Historical Society) Published on H-Indiana (May, 2000) A Union Cavalry Raid Steeped in Misfortune Robert L. Willett's The Lightning Mule Brigade is the first book-length treatment of Indiana Colonel Abel D. Streight's Independent Provisional Brigade and its three-week raid in spring 1863 through Northern Alabama to Rome, Georgia. The raid, the goal of which was to cut Confederate railroad lines between Atlanta and Chattanooga, was, in Willett's words, a "tragi-comic war episode" (8). The comic aspects stemmed from the fact that the raiding force was largely infantry, mounted not on horses but on fractious mules, anything but lightning-like, justified by military authorities as necessary to take it through the Alabama mountains. Willett's well-written and often moving narrative shifts between the forces of the two Union commanders (Streight and Brig. Gen. Grenville Dodge) and two Confederate commanders (Col. Phillip Roddey and Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest) who were central to the story, staying in one camp for a while, then moving to another. The result is a highly textured and complex, but enjoyable, narrative. Abel Streight, who had no formal military training, was proprietor of the Railroad City Publishing Company and the New Lumber Yard in Indianapolis when the war began.

  • Grierson Family Essay with Pictures.Pub
    The First Family of Fort Concho The Griersons had a rich and exciting life before and after Fort Concho, but they spent more time at this post than at any other Army facility. By: Robert F. Bluthardt Site Manager, Fort Concho NHL Over its twenty-two years of active service (1867-1889), Fort Concho saw several dozen commanders, a few hundred officers, and several thousand soldiers and civilians assigned to the post, but no commander and no family had more influence and longer lasting effect on the place that Colonel Benjamin Grierson, his wife Alice, and their five children. Indeed, Colonel Grierson commanded Fort Concho longer than any other officer, covering the years of 1875 through 1882, when he and the 10th Cavalry moved west to Fort Davis. The Griersons could rightfully be called "the first family of Fort Concho." Fort Concho acquired a large collection of letters from the Grierson family that provide a wonderful portrait of daily life, its challenges, joys, and all too common sorrows that marked life at a western frontier outpost. Alice was a frequent letter writer and even on scarce paper she crammed endless details of life on post as she kept her older children briefed as they were living away from Fort Concho. These letters offer both a visual and verbal connection to this site and our community's earliest days. To begin with Ben and Alice, they both spent their earliest years in Youngstown, Ohio. Ben was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1826, but his family moved to Ohio when he was young, and Alice Kirk was born in 1828 in Youngstown.

  • Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers
    Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers Buffalo Soldiers – A term coined for those African-Americans who served with the US Army after the Civil War. The term “Buffalo Soldiers” has been attributed to several sources for the units formed after 1866 by an act of Congress. Originally Congress reorganized the Army after the Civil War and created two “Black” Calvary Units (9th and10th U.S. Cavalry) and four Infantry Regiments (the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry Regiments (Colored)). (The 38th and 41st were reorganized as the 25th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters in Jackson Barracks in New Orleans, Louisiana, in November 1869. The 39th and 40th were reorganized as the 24th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters at Fort Clark, Texas, in April 1869. [Wikipedia]) It is the 9th & 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments best known for fighting in the West against the Indian Tribes. 22 Buffalo Soldiers received the Medal of Honor during the Indian Wars. Page 1 of 5 Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 According to the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum, the name originated with the Cheyenne warriors in the winter of 1877, the actual Cheyenne translation being "Wild Buffalo". However, writer Walter Hill documented the account of Colonel Benjamin Grierson, who founded the 10th Cavalry regiment, recalling an 1871 campaign against the Comanche. Hill attributed the origin of the name to the Comanche due to Grierson's assertions. The Apache used the same term ("We called them 'buffalo soldiers', because they had curly, kinky hair ... like bisons") a claim supported by other sources.[3][4] Some sources assert that the nickname was given out of respect for the fierce fighting ability of the 10th Cavalry.[5] Still other sources point to a combination of both legends.[6] The term Buffalo Soldiers became a generic term for all black soldiers.

  • Timeline 1863
    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1863 Jan. 1 President Abraham Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation. It frees all slaves in regions under Confederate control and authorizes the enlistment of black soldiers. Note that it does not outlaw slavery in all areas of the country. Tennessee, which is under Union control (and whose constitution will be among the first to ban slavery); Southern Louisiana, which has remained loyal to the Union; and the border states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri are exempt from the Emancipation Proclamation, even though slavery exists in its cruelest forms in all six states. [See September 5, 1864] “ African Americans in New York City hold a Grand Emancipation Jubilee at Shiloh Church, a night-watch of celebration in anticipation of the Emancipation Proclamation. Hundreds of people attend, almost one-third of them white. “ TN Lucy Virginia French of McMinnville writes in her journal: “A New Year commenced today—heaven grant that ere it ends peace may reign among us once more.... I rose with new thanksgivings for the victory of yesterday [Stones River]....Old Abe is said to have revoked his Emancipation Proclamation—his message is a ‘funny’ document—the butt and laughing stock of all Europe—in it he recommends ‘gradual’ emancipation.” “ TN Skirmishes near Clifton as Forrest crosses the Tennessee River there, On his way out of West Tennessee; skirmishes at and near LaVergne and at Stewart’s Creek. Jan. 2 TN C.S. General Breckinridge attacks the Federal position at Stones River late in the day. Although initially successful, he is eventually repulsed & withdraws. With 23,000 casualties, Murfreesboro/Stones River is the second bloodiest battle fought west of the Appalachians during the Civil War.
